2 Research tool 2 (GWAS) Genetics in cardiovascular medicine Genetic background Research tool 1 (candidate gene approach) Intermediate Phenotypes Endothelial function of small/large vessels Elastic properties of arterial wall Vascular redox signalling/biology Environment Cardiovascular disease

3 Genetics in cardiovascular disease Research tool 1: The candidate gene approach Therapeutic targets Predictive models Known pathophysiology Cardiovascular risk Vascular structure/function Identify candidate key molecules Genetic variability of these molecules (SNPs Haplotypes)

4 Pathophysiology of atherosclerosis/plaque rupture Antoniades C et al; J Am Coll Cardiol 2009;54:669 77

5 Candidate gene association studies MTHFR CRP Fib Yamada et al; Genomic Med :7 22

6 Genetics of endothelial dysfunction enos Variability of enos gene Variability of enos co-factors

7 IMA BH4 (pmol/g) Genetic variability and enos activity enos O 2 GTPCH oxygenase Fe BH4 Fe reductase reductase BH4 oxygenase L-arginine L-citrulline 60 P<0.01 NO. Ο ΧΧ (2% of Greek population) 0 Antoniades C et al, Circulation 2006;114: OO XO XX Antoniades C et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2008;52:158-65

8 How can we take advantage of genetic knowledge to investigate cardiovascular disease pathogenesis?

9 Why is GCH1 X haplotype of particular interest for vascular function? Antoniades C et al; Circulation 2011;124: Are the GCH1 XX homozygotes candidates for oral BH4 treatment? Antoniades C et al; Circulation. 2007;116: OXBIO study Cunnington et al; Circulation 2012 (in press)

10 Entering a new era in cardiovascular genetics From SNPs, to haplotypes and now to GWAS! 1. Simultaneous genotyping for 500,000 1,000,000 SNPs across the genome 2. Thinking about chromosomes/loci instead of genes 3. Typically needs thousands of participants, due to multiple comparisons errors/type I error. Thresholds for p-values: (corresponding to 0.05 after adjustment for 1 million independent Tests!)

11 GWAS: A new approach How to read the results of GWAS studies? Is it an expert s job? P value:~10-13 Example: GWAS for CAD 9p21 locus CDKN2A/CDKN2B HR: 1.3 LDLR (9p13) HR: 1.15 Lotta et al; Lancet 2011; 377: Samani et al; N Engl J Med 2007;357:443-53

12 CDKN2A mrna (Relative units) CDKN2B mrna (Relative units) The 9p21 locus in acute myocardial infarction Samani NJ et al; N Engl J Med 2007;357: P= P= McFerson et al; N Engl J Med 2010; 362;18 0 AA/AG GG Antoniades et al; 2012 (in revision) CDKN2A/2B as novel therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease

13 Lacolley at al; Cardiovascular Research (2009) 81, GWAS targeting stiffness IGF1R LPL MTHFR enos IGF-BP1-3

14 Re-writing the genetics of FMD: The GWAS tool GWAS study: 1345 participants Afymmetrix GeneChip 100,000 SNPs Vasan et al; BMC Medical Genetics 2007, 8(Suppl 1):S2 Genetic variability of FMD Limited or no effect on cardiovascular risk!!!

15 GWAS targeting ABI, cimt, coronary calcification Genetic variability of cimt, ABI, CC Limited or no effect on cardiovascular risk!!! O Donnell et al; BMC Medical Genetics 2007, 8(Suppl 1):S4

16 Is it time to re-write cardiovascular genetics? Genetic loci FMD, cimt, ABI, CC Aortic distensibility Cardiovascular risk Probably it is time to re-write cardiovascular pathophysiology!!!!

17 Conclusions Candidate gene approach: Variability of ~300 genes had been associated with changes in vascular structure/function GWAS studies: CDKN2A/CDKN2B (ANRYL) 9p21 locus affect both arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk The loci affecting FMD, cimt, ABI, CC: DO NOT affect cardiovascular risk!! Time to re-define the role of these intermediate phenotypes in CVD?
