Abstract

Metabolic syndrome-related traits (obesity, glucose intolerance/insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension) have been shown to be genetically correlated. It is less clear, however, if the genetic correlation extends to novel risk factors associated with inflammation, impaired fibrinolytic activity, and hyperuricemia. We present a bivariate genetic analysis of MetS-related traits including both traditional and novel risk factors. Genetic correlations were estimated using a variance components procedure in 1,940 nondiabetic white individuals from 445 families in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Family Heart Study. Twelve MetS-related traits, including BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, white blood cell count, fasting serum triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, insulin, glucose, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 antigen, uric acid, and C-reactive protein, were measured and adjusted for covariates, including lifestyle variables. Significant genetic correlations were detected among BMI, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 antigen and between uric acid and all of the above variables except insulin. C-reactive protein and white blood cell cou...Continue Reading
