Vascular Stiffness and Genetic Variation at the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Locus: The Framingham Heart Study

Abstract

Arterial stiffness is a moderately heritable trait that is affected by alterations in the bioavailability of NO. Previous studies have found associations between variants in the gene for endothelial NO synthase ( NOS3 ) and arterial properties. We previously identified a linkage peak for forward pressure wave amplitude in the immediate vicinity of NOS3 . Therefore, we evaluated relations between arterial stiffness measures and common genetic variants at this locus. Eighteen single nucleotide polymorphisms capturing ≈90% of underlying common variation in NOS3 were genotyped in unrelated Framingham Heart Study participants (N=1157; 52.2% women; mean age: 62 years) with routinely ascertained tonometry data that provided 5 arterial phenotypes (forward and reflected pressure wave amplitude, central pulse pressure, carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity, and mean arterial pressure). In women but not men, the genotype for the common NOS3 missense mutation (Glu298Asp, rs1799983) was related to central pulse pressure (women: GG=53±0.9, GT=54±0.9, and TT=47±2.0 mm Hg, P =0.0047; men: GG=50±1.0, GT=49±0.9, and TT=47±1.8 mm Hg, P =0.30) and forward wave amplitude (women: GG=41±0.7, GT=42±0.7, and TT=38±1.6 mm Hg, P =0.029; men: GG=42±0.9, GT=41±0.8, and TT=39±1.5 mm Hg, P =0.47). The only other nominally significant sex-specific association in men but not women was between an intronic polymorphism (rs1800781) and reflected wave amplitude (women: AA=10.4±0.4, AG=11.1±0.6, and GG=8.9±2.2 mm Hg, P =0.50; men: AA=6.1±0.3, AG=7.3±0.5, and GG=11.3±2.3 mm Hg, P =0.014). After adjusting for multiple testing (18 polymorphisms and 5 phenotypes), these nominal associations were no longer significant. The present study was suggestive of modest relations between common genetic variants at the NOS3 locus and arterial stiffness.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
