▶Genetic association analysis highlights new loci that modulate hematological trait variation in Caucasians and African AmericansAssociationN=30,551Ken Sin Lo et al.(2011)· Human Genetics
Genetic association study in 23,439 Caucasians and 7,112 African Americans identified novel loci modulating hematological traits. G6PD rs1050828 (Val68Met) shows strong association with red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume in African Americans (P < 2.0 × 10^−13), while TPM4 rs8109288 associates with platelet count in both Caucasians and African Americans (P = 3.0 × 10^−7). HBA2-HBA1 rs1211375 associates with red blood cell traits specifically in African Americans (P < 7 × 10^−8). Study replicated 36 previously reported associations and highlights ethnic differences in genetic architecture of blood traits.
About PRKAG2
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric protein composed of a catalytic alpha subunit, a noncatalytic beta subunit, and a noncatalytic regulatory gamma subunit. Various forms of each of these subunits exist, encoded by different genes. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status and functions by inactivating key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. This gene is a member of the AMPK gamma subunit family. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and glycogen storage disease of the heart. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
