A GWAS for grip strength in cohorts of children—Advantages of analysing young participants for this trait
Grip strength (GS) is a proxy measure for muscular strength and a predictor for bone fracture risk among other diseases. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted in large cohorts of adults focusing on scores collected for the dominant hand, therefore increasing the likelihood of confounding effects by environmental factors. Here, we perform the first GWAS meta-analyses on maximal GS with the dominant (GSD) and non-dominant (GSND) hand in two cohorts of children (ALSPAC, N = 5450; age range = 10.65–13.61; Raine Study, N = 1162, age range: 9.42–12.38 years). We identified a novel significant association for GSND (rs9546244, LINC02465, p = 3.43e−08) and replicated associations previously reported in adults including with a HOXB3 gene marker that shows an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) effect. Despite a much smaller sample (~3%) compared with the UK Biobank we replicated correlation analyses previously reported in this much larger adult cohort, such as a negative correlation with coronary artery disease. Although the results from the polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses did not survive multiple testing correction, we observed nominally significant associations between GS and risk of overall fracture, as previously reported, as well ADHD which will require further investigations. Finally, we observed a higher SNP-heritability (24%–41%) compared with previous studies (4%–24%) in adults. Overall, our results suggest that cohorts of children might be better suited for genetic studies of grip strength, possibly due to the shorter exposure to confounding environmental factors compared with adults.
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.
