Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common in children and adolescents but still remain unrecognized and undertreated. Several classification systems of sleep disorders are available, which include recent attempts to develop more specific nosologic categories that reflect developmental aspects of sleep. The prevalence of sleep disorders has been studied across various samples of healthy, typically developing children and those with special medical, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental needs. Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, making it important for mental health professionals to be aware of sleep problems and to address them in the context of psychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a chronic, common condition in western societies which can lead to adverse cardiometabolic effects if left untreated and is one of the commonest causes of excessive daytime somnolence. RECENT FINDINGS The presentation of OSAS is diverse and is thought to comprise of different intermediate phenotypes and endotypes in varying proportions in each individual. Unfortunately, due to its heterogeneity and the changing definitions of the disorder by workers in the field, attempts at revealing the genetic basis of OSAS has been fraught with difficulty. SUMMARY This brief review presents a short update on the achievements of the past three decades in this understudied and underfunded area of endeavour in respiratory sleep medicine. The genetic underpinnings of OSAS remain elusive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

[PMID: 37189386 DOI: 10.3390/biom13040639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent yet underdiagnosed. This study aimed to develop a predictive signature, as well as investigate competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and their potential functions in OSA. Methods: The GSE135917, GSE38792, and GSE75097 datasets were collected from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and differential expression analysis were used to identify OSA-specific mRNAs. Machine learning methods were applied to establish a prediction signature for OSA. Furthermore, several online tools were used to establish the lncRNA-mediated ceRNAs in OSA. The hub ceRNAs were screened using the cytoHubba and validated by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Correlations between ceRNAs and the immune microenvironment of OSA were also investigated. Results: Two gene co-expression modules closely related to OSA and 30 OSA-specific mRNAs were obtained. They were significantly enriched in the antigen presentation and lipoprotein metabolic process categories. A signature that consisted of five mRNAs was established, which showed a good diagnostic performance in both independent datasets. A total of twelve lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory pathways in OSA were proposed and validated, including three mRNAs, five miRNAs, and three lncRNAs. Of note, we found that upregulation of lncRNAs in ceRNAs could lead to activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. In addition, mRNAs in the ceRNAs were closely correlated to the increased infiltration level of effector memory of CD4 T cells and CD56bright natural killer cells in OSA. Conclusions: In conclusion, our research opens new possibilities for diagnosis of OSA. The newly discovered lncRNA-mediated ceRNA networks and their links to inflammation and immunity may provide potential research spots for future studies.

Abstract
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and premature mortality. There is strong clinical and epidemiologic evidence supporting the importance of genetic factors influencing OSA but limited data implicating specific genes. Objectives: To search for rare variants contributing to OSA severity. Methods: Leveraging high-depth genomic sequencing data from the NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program and imputed genotype data from multiple population-based studies, we performed linkage analysis in the CFS (Cleveland Family Study), followed by multistage gene-based association analyses in independent cohorts for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in a total of 7,708 individuals of European ancestry. Measurements and Main Results: Linkage analysis in the CFS identified a suggestive linkage peak on chromosome 7q31 (LOD = 2.31). Gene-based analysis identified 21 noncoding rare variants in CAV1 (Caveolin-1) associated with lower AHI after accounting for multiple comparisons (P = 7.4 × 10-8). These noncoding variants together significantly contributed to the linkage evidence (P < 10-3). Follow-up analysis revealed significant associations between these variants and increased CAV1 expression, and increased CAV1 expression in peripheral monocytes was associated with lower AHI (P = 0.024) and higher minimum overnight oxygen saturation (P = 0.007). Conclusions: Rare variants in CAV1, a membrane-scaffolding protein essential in multiple cellular and metabolic functions, are associated with higher CAV1 gene expression and lower OSA severity, suggesting a novel target for modulating OSA severity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is mounting evidence for a reciprocal yet bidirectional association between sleep-disordered breathing and hypertension. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common cause of systemic hypertension is an independent risk factor for hypertension-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this comparative hospital-based cross-sectional study, we sought to explore the burden of obstructive sleep apnea and its associated risk factors among hypertensive patients attending Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute.
Methodology
A total of 1974 individuals (i.e. 1289 hypertensive and 685 normotensives) were consecutively enrolled in this study. The Berlin questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale were utilized in the assessment of OSA and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) respectively. Logistic regression analyses were employed in the determination of associated factors for OSA.
Results
The mean age was 53.4 years and females constituted the large majority (60.4%) of participants. About three quarters (74.1%) of participants had excess body weight, 11.6% had diabetes, 8.0% had asthma and 18.6% had history of recurrent nasal congestion. Positive family history of snoring was reported by 43.1% of participants and 36.9% had a personal history of snoring. Persons with hypertension displayed a higher frequency (42.1%) of OSA compared to their normotensive counterparts (11.8%), p < 0.001. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed hypertension (OR 5.1, 95% CI 3.2-8.2, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3-3.5, p < 0.01), chronic nasal congestion (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.5, p = 0.01), obesity (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.8-3.3, p < 0.001), increased neck circumference (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-6.4, p = 0.02), family history of snoring (OR 5.5, 95% CI 4.0-7.5, p < 0.001), and working > 8 h/24 h (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-1.0, p = 0.03) to have an independent association for OSA. Furthermore, participants with hypertension displayed superior odds for OSA compared to their normotensive counterparts across all subgroup analyses.
Conclusion
OSA is considerably common among patients with hypertension in a tertiary health care setting in Tanzania. Positive family history of snoring was the strongest associated factor; however, excess body weight proved to be the strongest modifiable risk factor. In view of its pervasiveness, OSA should be an integral part of the medical evaluation in hypertensive individuals.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic and widely prevalent disease, associated with multiple health disorders. Current diagnostic strategies for OSA are limited due to cost, time, and access. Epigenetic signatures offer insight into the relationships between disease and environment and could play a significant role in developing both diagnostic and therapeutic tools for OSA. In the current study, a systematic literature search was conducted to investigate the existing evidence of OSA-associated epigenetic modifications. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using electronic academic databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, EBM Reviews, and Web of Science. However, the current study focused on screening for original, English language articles pertaining to OSA and associated epigenetic mechanisms. To produce unbiased results, screening was performed independently by authors. RESULTS We identified 2,944 publications in our systematic search. Among them, 65 research articles were related to OSA-associated differential gene expression, genetic variation, and epigenetic modifications. Although these 65 articles were considered for full manuscript review, only twelve articles met the criteria of OSA-associated epigenetic modifications in humans and animal models. Human subjects with OSA had unique epigenetic changes compared to healthy controls, and, interestingly, epigenetic signatures were commonly identified in genes associated with metabolic and inflammatory pathways. CONCLUSIONS Although the available studies are limited, this research provides novel insights for development of epigenetic markers for the diagnosis and treatment of OSA. Thorough genome wide investigations will be required to develop cost-effective, robust biomarkers for the identification of OSA among children and adults. Here, we offer a study design for such efforts.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common in children and adolescents but still remain unrecognized and undertreated. Several classification systems of sleep disorders are available, which include recent attempts to develop more specific nosologic categories that reflect developmental aspects of sleep. The prevalence of sleep disorders has been studied across various samples of healthy, typically developing children and those with special medical, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental needs. Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, making it important for mental health professionals to be aware of sleep problems and to address them in the context of psychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract
In the current review we provide a theoretical background on studies examining the association between sleep and brain function. We focus on the association between sleep and cognitive performance, cognitive changes over time and incident dementia as well. We then present some data on the link between sleep and subjective cognitive complaints, in participants without any objective clinical cognitive decline. We conclude with investigating the association between sleep and brain biomarkers, by highlighting the importance of specific genes and specific brain regions' morphometry. The role of sleep is vital in maintaining a healthy aging brain, and multiple factors should be taken under account when investigating this association.

Abstract
Background Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common syndrome in children, related to their immune responses, cardiovascular function, and neurocognitive function. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of SDB among children in Wuxi, China, and to evaluate the protective and risk factors of SDB in children. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on children attending different schools across Wuxi, China, aged 3–14 years old. Of a total of 5630 questionnaires distributed to the parents of the children, 3997 (71.0%) were deemed to be valid. The data on the general sociodemographic factors, children’s allergy and sleep characteristics, and the parents’ sleep characteristics were also collected. The Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) score was used to identify children at high risk of SDB. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression. Results The prevalence of SDB in this cohort was 13.4% (N = 534). SDB prevalence significantly differed in children with asthma (28.2% vs. 12.8%, P < 0.001), eczema (19.0% vs. 10.0%, P < 0.001), urticaria (16.4% vs. 12.9%, P < 0.01) and rhinitis (21.4% vs. 10.7%, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in SDB prevalence with respect to pillow material or quilt material. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, asthma (OR 1.986 (95% CI 1.312–3.007), P < 0.01), eczema (OR 1.675 (95% CI 1.377–2.037), P < 0.001), rhinitis (OR 1.998 (95% CI 1.635–2.441), suffered from familial sleep sickness (OR 2.416 (95% CI 1.975–2.955), P < 0.001) and whose mothers slept for a shorter duration (6 h–8 h: OR 1.370 (95% CI 1.089–1.724), P < 0.01; <6 h: OR 3.385(95% CI 2.098–5.461), P < 0.001) increased the odds of having SDB. The incidence of SDB significantly decreased with children’s age (6–11 years old: 0R 0.768 (95% CI 0.597–0.989), P < 0.05; 12–14 years old: OR 0.691 (95% CI 0.530–0.901), P < 0.01). Conclusion The results of this study demonstrated that atopic diseases (asthma, eczema, and rhinitis) and family sleep habits were risk factors for SDB in children in Wuxi, China.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Both obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidities are at least partly heritable, suggesting a common genetic background. Our aim was to analyse the heritability of the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidities using a twin study. Forty-seven monozygotic and 22 dizygotic adult twin pairs recruited from the Hungarian Twin Registry (mean age 51 ± 15 years) attended an overnight diagnostic sleep study. A medical history was taken, blood pressure was measured, and blood samples were taken for fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lipoprotein (a). To evaluate the heritability of obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidities bivariate analysis was performed with an adjustment for age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and smoking after false discovery rate correction and following exclusion of patients on lipid-lowering and antidiabetic medications. There was a significant correlation between indices of obstructive sleep apnea severity, such as the apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index and percentage of sleep time spent with oxygen saturation below 90%, as well as blood pressure, serum triglyceride, lipoprotein (a) and glucose levels (all p < .05). The bivariate analysis revealed a common genetic background for the correlations between serum triglyceride and the oxygen desaturation index (r = .63, p = .03), as well as percentage of sleep time spent with oxygen saturation below 90% (r = .58, p = .03). None of the other correlations were significantly genetically or environmentally determined. This twin study demonstrates that the co-occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea with hypertriglyceridaemia has a genetic influence and heritable factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of dyslipidaemia in obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Mutations of AT-hook DNA-binding motif containing 1 (AHDC1) gene have been implicated which could cause rare syndromes presenting OSA. This study aims to investigate some rare mutations of AHDC1 in Chinese Han individuals with OSA. Patients and Methods Three hundred and seventy-five patients with OSA and one hundred and nine control individuals underwent polysomnography. A targeted sequencing experiment was taken in 100 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA, and genotyping was taken in 157 moderate-to-severe OSA and 100 control individuals. The effect of mutations was validated by the luciferase reporter assay. Results One rare missense mutation (AHDC1: p.G1484D) and two mutations (c.-88C>T; c.-781C>G) in 5′-untranslated region (UTR) of AHDC1 were identified. The rare mutation (c.-781C>G) in 5′-UTR that was identified in several patients presenting more severe clinical manifestations affects expression of AHDC1. Conclusions. Our results revealed three rare mutations of AHDC1 in patients with OSA in Chinese Hanindividuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete upper airway obstruction. OSA susceptibility is associated with multiple genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. The PPARG rs1801282 (G/C) polymorphism has been associated with OSA in obese Indian subjects, whereas no such association has been reported in Chinese Han subjects. Potential associations between other PPARG variants and OSA have not been investigated in Chinese Han populations. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants of PPARG in unrelated Chinese Han patients with OSA and to investigate potential associations between these variants and OSA. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 233 individuals with OSA and 93 control individuals. A portable diagnostic device was used to diagnose OSA. Targeted sequencing was conducted to identify PPARG variants. Associations between PPARG variants and OSA were analyzed using multivariate regression. RESULTS Three PPARG single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified and the genotype frequencies of the rs1801282 polymorphism differed significantly. Subjects with the PPARG rs1801282 CG genotype had decreased risk of having OSA compared with subjects with the CC genotype after adjusting for confounding effects. CONCLUSIONS We identified a variant of PPARG associated with the occurrence of OSA in Chinese Han populations.

Abstract
Recent evidence has highlighted the health inequalities in sleep behaviors and sleep disorders that adversely affect outcomes in select populations, including African-American and Hispanic-American subjects. Race-related sleep health inequalities are ascribed to differences in multilevel and interlinked health determinants, such as sociodemographic factors, health behaviors, and biology. African-American and Hispanic-American subjects are admixed populations whose genetic inheritance combines two or more ancestral populations originating from different continents. Racial inequalities in admixed populations can be parsed into relevant groups of mediating factors (environmental vs genetic) with the use of measures of genetic ancestry, including the proportion of an individual's genetic makeup that comes from each of the major ancestral continental populations. This review describes sleep health inequalities in African-American and Hispanic-American subjects and considers the potential utility of ancestry studies to exploit these differences to gain insight into the genetic underpinnings of these phenotypes. The inclusion of genetic approaches in future studies of admixed populations will allow greater understanding of the potential biological basis of race-related sleep health inequalities.

Abstract
Dr. Leroy Hood promotes a paradigm to advance medical care that he calls P4 medicine. The four Ps are: personalized, predictive, preventative, and participatory. P4 medicine encourages a convergence of systems medicine, the digital revolution, and consumer-driven healthcare. Might P4 medicine be applicable to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? OSA should be personalized in that there are different structural and physiological pathways to disease. Obesity is a major risk factor. The link between obesity and OSA is likely to be fat deposits in the tongue compromising the upper airway. Clinical features at presentation also vary between patients. There are three distinct subgroups: (1) patients with a primary complaint of insomnia, (2) relatively asymptomatic patients with a high prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, and (3) excessively sleepy patients. Currently, there have been limited efforts to identify subgroups of patients on the basis of measures obtained by polysomnography. Yet, these diagnostic studies likely contain considerable predictive information. Likewise, there has currently been limited application of -omic approaches. Determining the relative role of obesity and OSA for particular consequences is challenging, because they both affect the same molecular pathways. There is evidence that the effects of OSA are modified by the level of obesity. These insights may lead to improvements in predicting outcomes to personalized therapies. The final P-participatory-is ideally suited to OSA, with technology to obtain extensive data remotely from continuous positive airway pressure machines. Providing adherence data directly to patients increases their use of continuous positive airway pressure. Thus, the concept of P4 medicine is very applicable to obstructive sleep apnea and can be the basis for future research efforts.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common chronic disease and is associated with high social and economic costs. OSA is heritable, and there is evidence of both direct genetic contributions to OSA susceptibility and indirect contributions via 'intermediate' phenotypes such as obesity, craniofacial structure, neurological control of upper airway muscles and of sleep and circadian rhythm. Investigation of the genetics of OSA is an important research area and may lead to improved understanding of disease aetiology, pathogenesis, adverse health consequences and new preventive strategies and treatments. Genetic studies of OSA have lagged behind other chronic diseases; however recent gene discovery efforts have been successful in finding genetic loci contributing to OSA-associated intermediate phenotypes. Nevertheless, many of the seminal questions relating to the genetic epidemiology of OSA and associated factors remain unanswered. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the genetics of OSA, with a focus on genomic approaches to understanding sleep apnoea.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by repetitive episodes of decreased or arrested respiratory airflow during sleep. SDB is common and affects approximately 20% of the Japanese general population. Most traits of normal sleep and SDB show familial aggregation, suggesting significant effects of genetic factors. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of SDB and has a high heritability. Regardless of high heritability, no risk locus for OSA has reached a genome-wide level of significance (P < 5×10-8) in linkage or candidate gene analysis. However, a recent genome-wide association study identified some genetic risks for OSA with P < 5×10-8 for the first time. The identified genes are associated with inflammation, hypoxia signaling, and sleep pathways. The effects of genetic factors on the consequences of OSA has not been determined, although a correlation between OSA and cardiovascular disease may differ across races. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a genetically inherited disorder caused by mutations in the paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) gene of polyalanine repeat mutations in the 20-alanine repeat or non-polyalanine repeat mutations. PHOX2B genotypes are also associated with clinical phenotypes of CCHS, including severity of hypoventilation. SDB, including obesity hypoventilation syndrome, is often seen in genetic obesity-associated disorders such as Prader-Willi syndrome. Although advances in genetics have resulted in identification of some genetic causes of SDB, further studies are required to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms between genetic risks and clinical manifestations.

Exome-Wide Meta-Analysis Identifies Rare 3'-UTR Variant in ERCC1/CD3EAP Associated with Symptoms of Sleep Apnea. Front Genet 2017; 8:151.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep breathing disorder associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and mortality. Although OSA is fairly heritable (~40%), there have been only few studies looking into the genetics of OSA. In the present study, we aimed to identify genetic variants associated with symptoms of sleep apnea by performing a whole-exome sequence meta-analysis of symptoms of sleep apnea in 1,475 individuals of European descent. We identified 17 rare genetic variants with at least suggestive evidence of significance. Replication in an independent dataset confirmed the association of a rare genetic variant (rs2229918; minor allele frequency = 0.3%) with symptoms of sleep apnea (p-valuemeta = 6.98 × 10−9, βmeta = 0.99). Rs2229918 overlaps with the 3′ untranslated regions of ERCC1 and CD3EAP genes on chromosome 19q13. Both genes are expressed in tissues in the neck area, such as the tongue, muscles, cartilage and the trachea. Further, CD3EAP is localized in the nucleus and mitochondria and involved in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha/nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. Our results and biological functions of CD3EAP/ERCC1 genes suggest that the 19q13 locus is interesting for further OSA research.

Abstract
A disease trait often can be characterized by multiple phenotypic measurements that can provide complementary information on disease etiology, physiology, or clinical manifestations. Given that multiple phenotypes may be correlated and reflect common underlying genetic mechanisms, the use of multivariate analysis of multiple traits may improve statistical power to detect genes and variants underlying complex traits. The literature, however, has been unclear as to the optimal approach for analyzing multiple correlated traits. In this study, heritability and linkage analysis was performed for six obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) related phenotypes, as well as principal components of the phenotypes and principal components of the heritability (PCHs) using the data from Cleveland Family Study, which include both African and European American families. Our study demonstrates that principal components generally result in higher heritability and linkage evidence than individual traits. Furthermore, the PCHs can be transferred across populations, strongly suggesting that these PCHs reflect traits with common underlying genetic mechanisms for OSAHS across populations. Thus, PCHs can provide useful traits for using data on multiple phenotypes and for genetic studies of trans-ethnic populations.

Abstract
Since the beginning of our specialty, our understanding of the link between function and facial growth and development has progressively improved. Today, we know that children with sleep-related breathing problems will often develop distinctive facial characteristics. In adults, sleep apnea can result in serious morbidity and mortality. Orthodontists can ask sleep-related questions in the health history to help identify sleep breathing disorders. Treating these patients presents unique opportunities for orthodontists to collaborate with other medical specialties to improve a patient's health and treatment outcome. Research presented in our Journal in the next century may shed new light that will help us better identify the problem and aid the specialty in developing more effective evidence-based treatment. Additional efforts are needed to understand the physiology, neurology, and genetics of sleep breathing disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate genotype-phenotype changes between rs29230 in γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor (GABBR1), rs1801278 in insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and rs9902709 in hypocretin neuropeptide precursor (HCRT) and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in Chinese Han individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 130 patients with OSAHS and 136 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. A brief description of DNA extraction and genotyping is given. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis adjusted for gender and age was used to estimate the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs29230 (GABBR1), rs1801278 (IRS-1), and rs9902709 (HCRT) with OSAHS risk. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate differences in these SNPs among subgroups according to gender, body mass index (BMI), and severity of disease. RESULTS Genotype and allele frequencies of rs29230 were significantly different between cases and controls (p = 0.0205 and p = 0.0191, respectively; odds ratio = 0.493, 95% confidence interval = 0.271-0.896), especially for male patients (p = 0.0259 and p = 0.0202, respectively). Subgroup analysis according to BMI also revealed a significant allele difference for rs29230 between cases and controls in the overweight subgroup (p = 0.0333). Furthermore, allele and genotype frequencies of rs1801278 showed significant differences between cases and controls (p = 0.0488 and p = 0.0471, respectively). However, no association was observed between rs9902709 and OSAHS risk (p = 0.2762), and no differences were identified in other subgroups. CONCLUSION In this study, there was an association between variants of rs29230 and rs1801278 and OSAHS risk in the Chinese Han population but not for rs9902709.

Abstract
At present, variants of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (5-HTR2A) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) genes may be susceptible markers to develop for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the potential associations between the 5-HTR2A and IL-6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and OSAHS. In total there were 130 cases and 136 controls collected for genotyping of 5-HTR2A (rs6311) and IL-6 (rs1800796) SNPs. The association of these SNPs with OSAHS risk were evaluated by computing the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses with adjustment for gender and age. The results indicated that the genotype and allele frequencies in these two loci (rs6311 and rs1800796) were not significantly different between the cases and controls. However, carrying the 'C' allele of rs6311 has a protective effect against OSAHS via the gender-specific comparison (P=0.0409; OR, 1.744; 95% CI, 1.021-2.978). The 'G' allele and 'CG' genotype distribution of rs1800796, and 'C' allele and 'CT' genotype distribution of rs6311 have significant differences between the mild and moderate group (P<0.05). Similarly, the genotype distribution of rs6311 has differences between mild and severe cases (P=0.0026). The current research demonstrated that variants of rs6311 have an association with OSAHS in males. Additionally, polymorphisms of rs6311 and rs1800796 have relevance to the severity of OSAHS.

Abstract
Sleep disorders are, in part, attributable to genetic variability across individuals. There has been considerable progress in understanding the role of genes for some sleep disorders, such as the identification of a human leukocyte antigen gene for narcolepsy. For other sleep disorders, such as insomnia, little work has been done. Optimizing phenotyping strategies is critical, as is the case for sleep apnea, for which intermediate traits such as obesity and craniofacial features may prove to be more tractable for genetic studies. Rapid advances in genotyping and statistical genetics are likely to lead to greater discoveries in the near future.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the association between Apolipoprotein E (APOE) and sleep disturbances. This is a cross-sectional study, from the Washington Heights-Inwood Community Aging Project (WHICAP). A total of 1944 non-demented older adults took part in the study. Sleep dysfunction was measured using sleep categories derived from the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale. Genetic association between APOE-ϵ4 genotype and sleep disturbances was assessed using unadjusted linear regression models. Secondary analyses were conducted adjusting for age, sex, education, ethnicity and body mass index (BMI). In the unadjusted model, individuals carrying the APOE-ϵ4 allele showed lower levels of snoring (β=-0.02, SE=0.01, p=0.010) and sleep apnea (β=-0.01, SE=0.01, p=0.037) when compared to non-ϵ4 carriers. After covariates' adjustment, ϵ4 carriers demonstrated stronger association with lower levels of both snoring (β=-0.02, SE=0.01, p=0.006), and sleep apnea (β=-0.01, SE=0.01, p=0.018). Our results suggest that APOE-ϵ4 is associated with decreased problems in snoring and sleep apnea, in non-demented older adults.

Abstract
Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) is linked to increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, few studies have assessed the impact of this relationship among blacks with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Data for this study were collected from 1035 blacks (mean age=62±13 years) enrolled in the Metabolic Syndrome Outcome study. Patients with a score ⩾6 on the Apnea Risk Evaluation System were considered at risk for OSA. Of the sample, 77.1% were low-to-high OSA risk and 92.3% were hypertensive, of which 16.8% had uncontrolled BP levels. Analysis also showed that 60.4% were diabetic, 8.9% had a stroke history, 74.3% had dyslipidemia, 69.8% were obese and 30.9% had a history of heart disease. Logistic regression analyses were employed to investigate associations between uncontrolled BP and OSA risk, while adjusting for known covariates. Findings showed that uncontrolled BP independently increased the odds of OSA risk twofold (odds ratio=2.02, 95% confidence interval=1.18-3.48, P<0.05). In conclusion, our findings show that uncontrolled BP was associated with a twofold greater risk of OSA among blacks, suggesting that those with MetS and who have uncontrolled BP should be screened for the presence of OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is limited research on racial/ethnic variation in sleep disturbances. This study aimed to quantify the distributions of objectively measured sleep disordered breathing (SDB), short sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and self-reported sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia) across racial/ethnic groups. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Six US communities. PARTICIPANTS Racially/ethnically diverse men and women aged 54-93 y in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Sleep Cohort (n = 2,230). INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Information from polysomnography-measured SDB, actigraphy-measured sleep duration and quality, and self-reported daytime sleepiness were obtained between 2010 and 2013. Overall, 15.0% of individuals had severe SDB (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] ≥ 30); 30.9% short sleep duration (< 6 h); 6.5% poor sleep quality (sleep efficiency < 85%); and 13.9% had daytime sleepiness. Compared with Whites, Blacks had higher odds of sleep apnea syndrome (AHI ≥ 5 plus sleepiness) (sex-, age-, and study site-adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20, 2.63), short sleep (OR = 4.95, 95% CI: 3.56, 6.90), poor sleep quality (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.00, 2.48), and daytime sleepiness (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.38, 2.60). Hispanics and Chinese had higher odds of SDB and short sleep than Whites. Among non-obese individuals, Chinese had the highest odds of SDB compared to Whites. Only 7.4% to 16.2% of individuals with an AHI ≥ 15 reported a prior diagnosis of sleep apnea. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disturbances are prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, and vary by race/ethnicity, sex, and obesity status. The high prevalence of sleep disturbances and undiagnosed sleep apnea among racial/ethnic minorities may contribute to health disparities.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly prevalent condition. A growing body of literature supports substantial racial disparities in the prevalence, risk factors, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. Craniofacial structure among Asians appears to confer an elevated risk of OSA despite lower rates of obesity. Among African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanics, OSA prevalence is increased, likely due in part to obesity. The burden of symptoms, particularly excessive daytime sleepiness, is higher among African Americans, although Hispanics more often report snoring. Limited data suggest that African Americans may be more susceptible to hypertension in the setting of OSA. While differences in genetic risk factors may explain disparities in OSA burden, no definitive genetic differences have yet been identified. In addition to disparities in OSA development, disparities in OSA diagnosis and treatment have also been identified. Increased severity of disease at diagnosis among African Americans suggests a delay in diagnosis. Treatment outcomes are also suboptimal among African Americans. In children, tonsillectomy is less likely to cure OSA and more commonly associated with complications in this group. Among adults, adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is substantially lower in African Americans. The reasons for these disparities, particularly in outcomes, are not well understood and should be a research priority.

Abstract
Because obesity is a common cause of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), weight loss can be an effective treatment. OSAS also may cause weight gain in some patients. Effective treatment of sleep apnea may facilitate weight loss in obese patients. We hypothesize that positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is associated with weight loss in obese patients with OSAS. This was a single-center observational prospective cohort study. Forty-five patients were diagnosed with OSAS after polysomnographic analysis in sleep laboratory and underwent continuous positive airway pressure titration. Patients were followed for 3 months in terms of change in body mass index (BMI) and compliance with PAP therapy. Of the 45 patients recruited, 3 patients were eliminated because of miss recruitment. Nine patients had incomplete data, and the rest (n = 33) were included for analysis. The mean age was 54.9 ± 16.9 years (mean ± SD), 93.9% were male, and 90.9% were whites. Mean apnea-hypopnea index was 36.3 ± 28.17 events per hour. Mean BMI before treatment was 34.7 ± 3.9 kg/m. Fifteen patients (45.5%) were compliant with therapy of OSAS with PAP. There was no difference in age, gender, neck circumference, BMI, and apnea-hypopnea index of patients compliant to therapy when compared with those who were not. There was a significant decrease in BMI in patients compliant with PAP therapy compared with noncompliant patients (-1.2 ± 0.7 vs. 0.3 ± 0.9 kg/m, P ≤ 0.001). PAP therapy may cause significant loss of weight within 3 months in obese patients with OSAS. Further study is needed to elucidate the physiological basis of this change.

The CC genotype of the delta-sarcoglycan gene polymorphism rs13170573 is associated with obstructive sleep apnea in the Chinese population. PLoS One 2014; 9:e114160.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly heterogeneous sleep disorder, and increasing evidence suggests that genetic factors play a role in the etiology of OSA. Airway muscle dysfunction might promote pharyngeal collapsibility, mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the delta-sarcoglycan (SCGD) gene associated with muscle dysfunction. To evaluate if SCGD gene SNPs are associated with OSA, 101 individuals without OSA and 97 OSA patients were recruited randomly. The genotype distributions of SNPs (rs157350, rs7715464, rs32076, rs13170573 and rs1835919) in case and control populations were evaluated. The GG, GC and CC genotypes of rs13170573 in control and OSA groups were 51.5% and 37.1%, 36.6% and 35.1%, and 11.9% and 27.8%, respectively. Significantly fewer OSA patients possessed the GG genotype and significantly more possessed the CC genotype compared with controls. Further multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the CC genotype was an independent risk factor for OSA, with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.17 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-6.01). Other factors, such as age ≥ 50 years, male gender, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m(2), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level ≥ 3.33 mg/dL, smoking and hypertension, were also independent risk factors for OSA in our multivariate logistic regression model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accumulating evidence has shown that there is a genetic contribution to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).The objectives were to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cephalometry to (1) confirm heritability of craniofacial risk factors for OSA previously shown by cephalometrics; and (2) examine the heritability of new craniofacial structures that are measurable with MRI. DESIGN A sib pair "quad" design examining apneics, apneic siblings, controls, and control siblings. The study design used exact matching on ethnicity and sex, frequency matching on age, and statistical control for differences in age, sex, ethnicity, height, and weight. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENTS We examined 55 apneic probands (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]: 46.8 ± 33.5 events/h), 55 proband siblings (AHI: 11.1 ± 15.9 events/h), 55 controls (AHI: 2.2 ± 1.7 events/h), and 55 control siblings (AHI: 4.1 ± 4.0 events/h). INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Five independent domains reflecting different aspects of the craniofacial structure were examined. We confirmed heritability of sella-nasion-subspinale (38%, P = 0.002), saddle angle (55%, P < 0.0001), mandibular length (24%, P = 0.02) and lower facial height (33%, P = 0.006) previously measured by cephalometry. In addition, the current study added new insights by demonstrating significant heritability of mandibular width (30%, P = 0.005), maxillary width (47%, P < 0.0001), distance from the hyoid bone to the retropogonion (36%, P = 0.0018) and size of the oropharyngeal space (31%, P = 0.004). Finally, our data indicate that heritability of the craniofacial structures is similar in normal patients and those with apnea. CONCLUSIONS The data support our a priori hypothesis that the craniofacial structures that have been associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are heritable. We have demonstrated heritability for several intermediate craniofacial phenotypes for OSA. Thus, we believe that future studies should be able to identify genes associated with these intermediate craniofacial phenotypes.

Abstract
Thrombosis and obesity are complex epidemiologically associated diseases. The mechanism of this association is not yet understood. It was the objective of this study to identify genetic components of body mass index (BMI) and their possible role in the risk of thromboembolic disease. With the self-reported BMI of 397 individuals from 21 extended families enrolled in the GAIT (Genetic Analysis of Idiopathic Thrombophilia) Project, we estimated the heritability of BMI and the genetic correlation with the risk of thrombosis. Subjects were genotyped for an autosomal genome-wide scan with 363 highly-informative DNA markers. Univariate and bivariate multipoint linkage analyses were performed. The heritability for BMI was 0.31 (p=2.9×10⁻⁵). Thromboembolic disease (including venous and arterial) and BMI had a significant genetic correlation (ρG=0.54, p=0.005). Two linkage signals for BMI were obtained, one at 13q34 (LOD=3.36, p=0.0004) and other at 2q34, highly suggestive of linkage (LOD=1.95). Bivariate linkage analysis with BMI and thrombosis risk also showed a significant signal at 13q34 (LOD=3), indicating that this locus influences at the same time normal variation in the BMI phenotype as well as susceptibility to thrombosis. In conclusion, BMI and thrombosis are genetically correlated. The locus 13q34, which showed pleiotropy with both phenotypes, contains two candidate genes, which may explain our linkage pleiotropic signal and deserve further investigation as possible risk factors for obesity and thrombosis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the differences between the genes of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displacement loop (D-loop) region and the Cambridge Reference sequence, in order to screen the mutation sites and investigate the correlation between mutations, clinical parameters and complications associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). mtDNA was obtained from male patients with OSAHS in the Zhejiang Province. In total, 60 male patients with OSAHS and 102 healthy adults were assessed to determine the levels of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG) and high-density and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Furthermore, peripheral mtDNA was extracted and bidirectional sequencing was conducted to enable mutation screening. In the mtDNA D-loop region, 178 mutation sites were identified, of which 115 sites were present in the two groups. The number of non-common sites in the OSAHS group was significantly higher compared with the control group (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the mutations among the mild, moderate and severe OSAHS groups (P>0.05). A total of 21 cases in the severe OSAHS group exhibited mutation rates of >10%. In the control group, there were 24 cases where the np73A-G and np263A-G mutations were predominant. The np303–np315 region was identified to be the highly variable region and various mutation forms were observed. Statistically significant differences were observed in the neck perimeter, TG and LDL levels among the OSAHS-no-mutation subgroups (P<0.05) and LDL was shown to be associated with an mtDNA mutation in the OSAHS group. Numerous polymorphic mutation sites were identified in the mtDNA D-loop region of the OSAHS group. Therefore, mtDNA mutation sites may be closely associated with the clinical manifestations and complications of OSAHS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is becoming a worldwide health problem. The genome wide association (GWA) study particularly for body mass index (BMI) has not been successfully conducted in the Chinese. In order to identify novel genes for BMI variation in the Chinese, an initial GWA study and a follow up replication study were performed. METHODS Affymetrix 500K SNPs were genotyped for initial GWA of 597 Northern Chinese. After quality control, 281,533 SNPs were included in the association analysis. Three SNPs were genotyped in a Southern Chinese replication sample containing 2 955 Chinese Han subjects. Association analyses were performed by Plink software. RESULTS Eight SNPs were significantly associated with BMI variation after false discovery rate (FDR) correction (P=5.45×10⁻⁷-7.26×10⁻⁶, FDR q=0.033-0.048). Two adjacent SNPs (rs4432245 & rs711906) in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4 (EIF2AK4) gene were significantly associated with BMI (P=6.38×10⁻⁶ & 4.39×10⁻⁶, FDR q=0.048). In the follow-up replication study, we confirmed the associations between BMI and rs4432245, rs711906 in the EIF2AKE gene (P=0.03 & 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION Our study suggests novel mechanisms for BMI, where EIF2AK4 has exerted a profound effect on the synthesis and storage of triglycerides and may impact on overall energy homeostasis associated with obesity. The minor allele frequencies for the two SNPs in the EIF2AK4 gene have marked ethnic differences between Caucasians and the Chinese. The association of the EIF2AK4 gene with BMI is suggested to be 'ethnic specific' in the Chinese.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES This case-control study investigated whether variations within the APOE-ε gene were associated with having a convex facial profile (skeletal Class II) compared to exhibiting a straight or concave facial profile (Class I or Class III) among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Associations between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and body mass index (BMI) scores for these OSA patients were also examined in the context of facial profile. METHOD OSA patients with an AHI ≥ 15 were recruited from a sleep clinic and classified by facial and dental occlusal relationships based on a profile facial analysis, lateral photographs, and dental examination. Saliva was collected as a source of DNA. The APOE-ε1-4 allele-defining single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs429358 and rs7412 were genotyped. A χ(2) analysis was used to assess Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and for association analysis (significance at p < 0.05). ANOVA and Fisher exact test were also used. RESULT Seventy-six Caucasian OSA patients participated in the study-25 Class II cases and 51 non-Class II cases. There was no association of the APOE-ε4 allele with facial profile among these OSA patients. Class II OSA patients had significantly lower BMIs (30.7 ± 5.78) than Class I (37.3 ± 6.14) or Class III (37.8 ± 6.17) patients (p < 0.001), although there was no statistical difference in AHI for Class II patients compared with other groups. CONCLUSION OSA patients with Class II convex profile were more likely to have a lower BMI than those in other skeletal groups. In fact 20% of them were not obese, suggesting that a Class II convex profile may influence or be associated with OSA development independent of BMI.

Abstract
RATIONALE A functional polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) has previously been related to upper airway pathology, but its contribution to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a highly prevalent sleep disorder in older adults, remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the relationship between apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and genetic variations in the promoter region of the 5-HTTLPR in older adults. METHODS DNA samples from 94 community-dwelling older adults (57% female, mean age 72 ± 8) were genotyped for the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. All participants were assessed in their homes with full ambulatory polysomnography in order to determine AHI and related parameters such as hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, and self-reported daytime sleepiness. RESULTS The 5-HTT l allele was significantly associated with AHI (p = 0.019), with l allele carriers displaying a higher AHI than s allele homozygotes. A single allele change in 5-HTTLPR genotype from s to l resulted in an increase of AHI by 4.46 per hour of sleep (95% CI, 0.75-8.17). The l allele was also associated with increased time during sleep spent at oxygen saturation levels below 90% (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS The observed significant association between the 5-HTTLPR l allele and severity of OSA in older adults suggests that the l allele may be important to consider when assessing for OSA in this age group. This association may also explain some of the observed variability among serotonergic pharmacological treatment studies for OSA, and 5-HTT genotype status may have to be taken into account in future therapeutic trials involving serotonergic agents.

Abstract
Background 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HTR) and 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter (5-HTT) gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The associations, derived from sporadic, inconsistent, small-sample-size studies, need to be evaluated further in a meta-analysis. Methods Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu. Eligible data were extracted from each included study. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using a fixed-effects or a random-effects model. The ORs and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of the association between serotonergic gene polymorphisms and OSAS in the dominant and recessive models, as well as alleles. The Q statistic was used to evaluate homogeneity and Begg’s test was used to assess publication bias. Results Eight studies were finally included in the meta-analysis of the association between 5-HTR2A gene variants (including 102T/C and 1438G/A), 5-HTT gene polymorphisms (including 5-HTT gene-linked promoter region (5-HTTLRP), and serotonin transporter intron 2 variable number tandem repeat (STin2VNTR) and OSAS risk. The G allele of 5-HTR2A 1438G/A, long 5-HTTLPR, and 10-tandem-repeats STin2VNTR were shown to increase OSAS susceptibility, with ORs of 2.33 (A vs. G, 95% CI 1.48–3.66), 1.24 (L vs. S, 95% CI: 1.04–1.49), and 2.87 (10 vs. 12, 95% CI: 1.38–5.97), respectively. These significant differences were determined in both dominant and recessive models. Of the 5-HTR2A 1438G/A gene polymorphism, the AA genotype increased the OSAS risk, with an OR of 4.21 (95% CI: 2.83–6.25) in a recessive model in male OSAS patients, but no significant association was found in females. Conclusions Our meta-analysis demonstrated that polymorphisms in the 5-HTR2A 1438G/A and 5-HTT genes contributed to susceptibility to OSAS. The A allele of the 1438G/A gene polymorphism is predominantly distributed in males and increased the OSAS risk significantly.

Variants in C-reactive protein and IL-6 genes and susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea in children: a candidate-gene association study in European American and Southeast European populations. Sleep Med 2013; 15:228-35. [PMID: 24380782 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2013.08.795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2013] [Revised: 08/17/2013] [Accepted: 08/29/2013] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preliminary evidence indicates that variants of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6 genes might be associated with the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in childhood. Thus a candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association of four variants of the CRP gene (1444C/T, -717T/C, 1861C/T, and 1919A/T) and two variants of the IL-6 gene (-174G/C and 597G/A) with OSA in a cohort of European American and Greek children. METHODS The genetic risk effects were estimated based on the odds ratio (OR) of the allele contrast and the generalized odds ratio (ORG), which is a model-free approach. The mode of inheritance was assessed using the degree of dominance index. The impact of haplotypes was also examined. RESULTS In the American population, the allele contrast and the model-free approach produced significant ORs for the CRP 1444C/T variant (OR, 3.82 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.91-7.63] and ORG, 4.37 [95% CI, 1.96-9.76]), respectively, and the mode of inheritance was recessiveness of allele T. Significance was also shown for the CRP 1919A/T variant (OR, 2.45 [95% CI, 1.23-4.85] and ORG, 2.76 [95% CI, 1.26-6.03]) with the mode of inheritance being nondominance of allele T. For the IL-6-174G/C variant, there was an indication of recessiveness of allele C. Finally, the IL-6-174C/IL-6 597A haplotype was associated with OSA. In the Greek population, no association was detected for any variant or haplotype. CONCLUSIONS Genetic variation in the IL-6/CRP pathway was associated with increased risk for OSA in European American children and may account for the higher CRP levels in the context of pediatric OSA compared to Greek children.

Abstract
Family-based genetic association studies of related individuals provide opportunities to detect genetic variants that complement studies of unrelated individuals. Most statistical methods for family association studies for common variants are single marker based, which test one SNP a time. In this paper, we consider testing the effect of an SNP set, e.g., SNPs in a gene, in family studies, for both continuous and discrete traits. Specifically, we propose a generalized estimating equations (GEEs) based kernel association test, a variance component based testing method, to test for the association between a phenotype and multiple variants in an SNP set jointly using family samples. The proposed approach allows for both continuous and discrete traits, where the correlation among family members is taken into account through the use of an empirical covariance estimator. We derive the theoretical distribution of the proposed statistic under the null and develop analytical methods to calculate the P-values. We also propose an efficient resampling method for correcting for small sample size bias in family studies. The proposed method allows for easily incorporating covariates and SNP-SNP interactions. Simulation studies show that the proposed method properly controls for type I error rates under both random and ascertained sampling schemes in family studies. We demonstrate through simulation studies that our approach has superior performance for association mapping compared to the single marker based minimum P-value GEE test for an SNP-set effect over a range of scenarios. We illustrate the application of the proposed method using data from the Cleveland Family GWAS Study.

Abstract
Obesity is a disorder characterized by an excess accumulation of body fat resulting from a mismatch between energy intake and expenditure. Incidence of obesity has increased dramatically in the past few years, almost certainly fuelled by a shift in dietary habits owing to the widespread availability of low-cost, hypercaloric foods. However, clear differences exist in obesity susceptibility among individuals exposed to the same obesogenic environment, implicating genetic risk factors. Numerous genes have been shown to be involved in the development of monofactorial forms of obesity. In genome-wide association studies, a large number of common variants have been associated with adiposity levels, each accounting for only a small proportion of the predicted heritability. Although the small effect sizes of obesity variants identified in genome-wide association studies currently preclude their utility in clinical settings, screening for a number of monogenic obesity variants is now possible. Such regular screening will provide more informed prognoses and help in the identification of at-risk individuals who could benefit from early intervention, in evaluation of the outcomes of current obesity treatments, and in personalization of the clinical management of obesity. This Review summarizes current advances in obesity genetics and discusses the future of research in this field and the potential relevance to personalized obesity therapy.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by the reduction or complete cessation in airflow resulting from an obstruction of the upper airway. Several studies have observed an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among OSA patients. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors characterized by the presence of insulin resistance, is often found in patients with OSA, but the complex interplay between these two syndromes is not well understood. In this study, we present the results of a genetic association analysis of 373 candidate SNPs for MetS selected in a previous genome wide association analysis (GWAS). The 384 selected SNPs were genotyped using the Illumina VeraCode Technology in 387 subjects retrospectively assessed at the Internal Medicine Unit of the "Virgen de Valme" University Hospital (Seville, Spain). In order to increase the power of this study and to validate our findings in an independent population, we used data from the Framingham Sleep Study which comprises 368 individuals. Only the rs11211631 polymorphism was associated with OSA in both populations, with an estimated OR=0.57 (0.42-0.79) in the joint analysis (p=7.21×10(-4)). This SNP was selected in the previous GWAS for MetS components using a digenic approach, but was not significant in the monogenic study. We have also identified two SNPs (rs2687855 and rs4299396) with a protective effect from OSA only in the subpopulation with abdominal obesity. As a whole, our study does not support the idea that OSA and MetS share major genetic determinants, although both syndromes share common epidemiological and clinical features.

Abstract
Background. Obese adolescents with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) have a unique pathophysiology that combines adenotonsillar hypertrophy and increased visceral fat distribution. We hypothesized that in this population waist circumference (WC), as a clinical marker of abdominal fat distribution, correlates with the likelihood of response to AT. Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of obese adolescents (BMI ≥ 97th percentile) that underwent AT for therapy of severe OSA (n = 21). We contrasted WC and covariates in a group of subjects that had complete resolution of severe OSA after AT (n = 7) with those obtained in subjects with residual OSA after AT (n = 14). Multivariate linear and logistic models were built to control possible confounders. Results. WC correlated negatively with a positive AT response in young adolescents and the percentage of improvement in obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) after AT (P ≤ 0.01). Extended multivariate analysis demonstrated that the link between WC and AT response was independent of demographic variables, OSA severity, clinical upper airway assessment, obesity severity (BMI), and neck circumference (NC). Conclusion. The results suggest that in obese adolescents, abdominal fat distribution determined by WC may be a useful clinical predictor for residual OSA after AT.

Abstract
Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to have a strong familial basis, no genetic polymorphisms influencing apnea risk have been identified in cross-cohort analyses. We utilized the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Candidate Gene Association Resource (CARe) to identify sleep apnea susceptibility loci. Using a panel of 46,449 polymorphisms from roughly 2,100 candidate genes on a customized Illumina iSelect chip, we tested for association with the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) as well as moderate to severe OSA (AHI≥15) in 3,551 participants of the Cleveland Family Study and two cohorts participating in the Sleep Heart Health Study. Among 647 African-Americans, rs11126184 in the pleckstrin (PLEK) gene was associated with OSA while rs7030789 in the lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR1) gene was associated with AHI using a chip-wide significance threshold of p-value<2×10−6. Among 2,904 individuals of European ancestry, rs1409986 in the prostaglandin E2 receptor (PTGER3) gene was significantly associated with OSA. Consistency of effects between rs7030789 and rs1409986 in LPAR1 and PTGER3 and apnea phenotypes were observed in independent clinic-based cohorts. Novel genetic loci for apnea phenotypes were identified through the use of customized gene chips and meta-analyses of cohort data with replication in clinic-based samples. The identified SNPs all lie in genes associated with inflammation suggesting inflammation may play a role in OSA pathogenesis.

Abstract
This is the tenth update of the human obesity gene map, incorporating published results up to the end of October 2003 and continuing the previous format. Evidence from single-gene mutation obesity cases, Mendelian disorders exhibiting obesity as a clinical feature, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from human genome-wide scans and animal crossbreeding experiments, and association and linkage studies with candidate genes and other markers is reviewed. Transgenic and knockout murine models relevant to obesity are also incorporated (N = 55). As of October 2003, 41 Mendelian syndromes relevant to human obesity have been mapped to a genomic region, and causal genes or strong candidates have been identified for most of these syndromes. QTLs reported from animal models currently number 183. There are 208 human QTLs for obesity phenotypes from genome-wide scans and candidate regions in targeted studies. A total of 35 genomic regions harbor QTLs replicated among two to five studies. Attempts to relate DNA sequence variation in specific genes to obesity phenotypes continue to grow, with 272 studies reporting positive associations with 90 candidate genes. Fifteen such candidate genes are supported by at least five positive studies. The obesity gene map shows putative loci on all chromosomes except Y. Overall, more than 430 genes, markers, and chromosomal regions have been associated or linked with human obesity phenotypes.

Abstract
This paper presents the eleventh update of the human obesity gene map, which incorporates published results up to the end of October 2004. Evidence from single-gene mutation obesity cases, Mendelian disorders exhibiting obesity as a clinical feature, transgenic and knockout murine models relevant to obesity, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from animal cross-breeding experiments, association studies with candidate genes, and linkages from genome scans is reviewed. As of October 2004, 173 human obesity cases due to single-gene mutations in 10 different genes have been reported, and 49 loci related to Mendelian syndromes relevant to human obesity have been mapped to a genomic region, and causal genes or strong candidates have been identified for most of these syndromes. There are 166 genes which, when mutated or expressed as transgenes in the mouse, result in phenotypes that affect body weight and adiposity. The number of QTLs reported from animal models currently reaches 221. The number of human obesity QTLs derived from genome scans continues to grow, and we have now 204 QTLs for obesity-related phenotypes from 50 genome-wide scans. A total of 38 genomic regions harbor QTLs replicated among two to four studies. The number of studies reporting associations between DNA sequence variation in specific genes and obesity phenotypes has also increased considerably with 358 findings of positive associations with 113 candidate genes. Among them, 18 genes are supported by at least five positive studies. The obesity gene map shows putative loci on all chromosomes except Y. Overall, >600 genes, markers, and chromosomal regions have been associated or linked with human obesity phenotypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The common C825T polymorphism of the gene that encodes the G protein beta3 subunit has been shown to influence lipolysis in human adipocytes and to be associated with hypertension, body fat distribution, and obesity. In addition, it has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance in a small group of hypertensive subjects. We investigated whether this polymorphism contributed to the variability in obesity in our population from southern Germany and whether it was associated with insulin sensitivity of lipolysis and/or glucose disposal. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES We determined percentage body fat, body fat distribution, glucose tolerance [oral glucose-tolerance test (OGTT)], insulin sensitivity, and serum free fatty acids using data from OGTTs (N = 774) and clamp (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, N = 216) in normal and impaired glucose tolerant subjects who were genotyped for this polymorphism. RESULTS Compared with noncarriers of the C825T mutation, subjects with the C825T variant (prevalence approximately 32%) had higher percentage body fat (p = 0.02) and higher BMI (p = 0.03). No conclusive effect was seen on serum free fatty acids measured either during fasting or at the end of a 2-hour OGTT. Insulin sensitivity determined during the OGTT and during the clamp, both adjusted for age, gender, and percentage body fat, was not different between the genotypes (p = 0.33 and p = 0.48, respectively). DISCUSSION We have concluded that the C825T polymorphism in the G protein beta3 subunit played an important role in the determination of obesity in this German population. However, it probably had no direct effects on insulin sensitivity of lipolysis and glucose disposal.
