Common noncoding variants at the human 1p13.3 locus associated with SORT1 expression are among those most strongly associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human genome-wide association studies. However, validation studies in mice and cell lines have produced variable results regarding the directionality of the effect of SORT1 on LDL-C. This, together with the fact that the 1p13.3 variants are associated with expression of several genes, has raised the question of whether SORT1 is the causal gene at this locus. Using whole exome sequencing in members of an Amish population, we identified coding variants in SORT1 that are associated with increased (rs141749679, K302E) and decreased (rs149456022, Q225H) LDL-C. Further, analysis of plasma lipoprotein particle subclasses by ion mobility in a subset of rs141749679 (K302E) carriers revealed higher levels of large LDL particles compared to noncarriers. In contrast to the effect of these variants in the Amish, the sortilin K302E mutation introduced into a C57BL/6J mouse via CRISPR/Cas9 resulted in decreased non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the sortilin Q225H mutation did not alter cholesterol levels in mice. This is indicative of different effects of these mutations on cholesterol metabolism in the two species. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence that naturally occurring coding variants in SORT1 are associated with LDL-C, thus supporting SORT1 as the gene responsible for the association of the 1p13.3 locus with LDL-C.
The human mind is multimodal. Most behavioral studies rely on century-old measures such as task accuracy and latency. To better understand human behavior and brain functionality, we need to analyze physiological and behavioral signals of various sources. However, it is technically complex and costly to design and implement experiments that record multiple measures. To address this issue, a platform that synchronizes multiple measures is needed.
Statins lower circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) levels and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Though highly efficacious in general, there is considerable inter-individual variation in statin efficacy that remains largely unexplained.
