Abstract

Genetic determinants may partly explain metabolic differences of inorganic arsenic(iAs) between individuals. We investigated association of arsenic metabolism biomarkers with variants previously associated with cardiometabolic traits (∼200,000, Illumina Cardio MetaboChip) or arsenic metabolism (670) among 2,428 American Indian participants in the Strong Heart Family Study. Arsenic traits included percent urine arsenic species, measured by HPLC-ICPMS, (iAs, monomethylarsonate [MMA], dimethylarsinate [DMA], divided by their sum and principal components of the arsenic species. Each phenotype was regressed on allele dosage, accounting for familial relatedness, age, sex, total arsenic levels, and population stratification. SNP associations were stratified by center and meta-analyzed. Multiple testing was accounted using Bonferroni. 10q24 variants were statistically significant for all arsenic phenotypes. Index SNP for percent arsenic species (rs12768205) and principal components (rs3740394, rs3740393) were located near AS3MT, whose gene product catalyzes methylation of iAs to MMA and DMA. Among the candidate arsenic variant associations, functional 10q24 SNPs were most significant (P<9.33e−5).
