ABSTRACT

We have performed exome-wide association studies to identify genetic variants that influence renal function-related traits or confer susceptibility to chronic kidney disease or hyperuricemia in Japanese. Exome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate and the serum concentration of creatinine were performed with 12,565 individuals, that for the serum concentration of uric acid with 9934 individuals, and those for chronic kidney disease or hyperuricemia with 5161 individuals (3270 cases, 1891 controls) or 11,686 individuals (2045 cases, 9641 controls), respectively. The relation of genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms to estimated glomerular filtration rate or the serum concentrations of creatinine or uric acid was examined by linear regression analysis, and that of allele frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms to chronic kidney disease or hyperuricemia was examined with Fisher’s exact test. The exome-wide association studies revealed that 25, seven, and six single nucleotide polymorphisms were significantly (P <1.21 × 10–6) associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate or the serum concentrations of creatinine or uric acid, respectively, and that 49 and 35 polymorphisms were significantly associated with chronic kidney disease or hyperuricemia, respectively. Subsequent multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates revealed that four and three single nucleotide polymorphisms were related (P < 0.05) to chronic kidney disease or hyperuricemia, respectively. Among polymorphisms identified in the present study, rs76974938 [C/T (D67N)] of C21orf59 and rs188780113 [G/A (R478C)] of ATG2A may be novel determinants of estimated glomerular filtration rate and chronic kidney disease or of the serum concentration of uric acid, respectively.
