Abstract
Background: Gene-lifestyle interaction studies using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data contribute to a better understanding of individual responses to environmental exposures.
Objectives: Herein, we aimed at assessing the biological significance of overlapping genes reported in gene-lifestyle interaction studies in cardiometabolic health.
Method: A heuristic analysis of genes reporting significant interactions related to cardiometabolic traits was performed to determine the biological pathways common to the different traits.
Results: A total of 873 genes were analyzed. Fine and condensed phenotypic solutions were obtained from overlapping genes common to more than one trait.
Conclusions: This study revealed significant metabolic pathways associated with the impact of gene-environment interactions on cardiometabolic risk. Graphical Abstract: Publicly available data in cloud-based repositories were used to perform enrichment analyses of genes previously described in GWAS studies that showed interaction with lifestyles. From the enriched pathways, cluster analysis was performed to group enriched metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
Lifestyle Genomics aims to provide a forum for highlighting new advances in the broad area of lifestyle-gene interactions and their influence on health and disease. The journal welcomes novel contributions that investigate how genetics may influence a person’s response to lifestyle factors, such as diet and nutrition, natural health products, physical activity, and sleep, amongst others. Additionally, contributions examining how lifestyle factors influence the expression/abundance of genes, proteins and metabolites in cell and animal models as well as in humans are also of interest. The journal will publish high-quality original research papers, brief research communications, reviews outlining timely advances in the field, and brief research methods pertaining to lifestyle genomics. It will also include a unique section under the heading “Market Place” presenting articles of companies active in the area of lifestyle genomics. Research articles will undergo rigorous scientific as well as statistical/bioinformatic review to ensure excellence.
