Abstract
Recent genetic studies have identified physical activity (PA)-susceptible loci in European ancestry subjects; however, due to considerable genetic differences, these findings are not likely extendable to East Asian populations. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify significantly associated PA-susceptible loci using genome-wide association studies (GWASs) with East Asian (EAS) subjects and to generalize the findings to European (EUR) ancestries. The mRNA levels of genes located near the genome-wide significantly associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were compared under PA and control conditions. Rs74937256, located in ACSS3 (chromosome 12), which primarily functions in skeletal muscle tissues, was identified as a genome-wide significant variant (P = 6.06 × 10−9) in EAS. Additionally, the rs2525840, also in ACSS3 satisfied the Bonferroni corrected significance (P = 3.77 × 10−5) in EUR. We found that rs74937256 is an expressed trait locus of ACSS3 (P = 10−4), and ACSS3 mRNA expression significantly differs after PA, based on PrediXcan (P = 7 × 10−8) and the gene expression omnibus database (P = 0.043).
期刊介绍:
Genes, Brain and Behavior was launched in 2002 with the aim of publishing top quality research in behavioral and neural genetics in their broadest sense. The emphasis is on the analysis of the behavioral and neural phenotypes under consideration, the unifying theme being the genetic approach as a tool to increase our understanding of these phenotypes.
Genes Brain and Behavior is pleased to offer the following features:
8 issues per year
online submissions with first editorial decisions within 3-4 weeks and fast publication at Wiley-Blackwells
High visibility through its coverage by PubMed/Medline, Current Contents and other major abstracting and indexing services
Inclusion in the Wiley-Blackwell consortial license, extending readership to thousands of international libraries and institutions
A large and varied editorial board comprising of international specialists.
