Serum vitamins A and E as modifiers of lipid trait genetics in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys as part of the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) study
AssociationN=5,576Logan Dumitrescu et al.(2012)· Human Genetics

This study investigated gene-environment interactions between 23 GWAS-identified lipid-associated SNPs and serum vitamins A and E in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), including 5,576 participants across three racial/ethnic groups. Nine significant interactions were identified, with the most significant being APOB rs693×vitamin E associated with LDL-C in Mexican Americans (p=8.94×10⁻⁷). These nine interactions explained only 0.35-1.28% of variation in lipid traits, suggesting that gene-environment interactions account for modest proportions of the missing heritability in lipid metabolism.
