Targeted sequencing analysis of the adiponectin gene identifies variants associated with obstructive sleep apnoea in Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular consequences. It has a strong genetic background and is associated with hypoadiponectinaemia.Target sequencing of whole ADIPONQ gene was performed in 340 participants including 247 patients with OSA and 93 non-OSA participants. Polysomnography was used to diagnose OSA. The associations between variants and OSA were determined by multivariate regression analysis.Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms of ADIPOQ were identified in all subjects. Genotype frequencies at rs4686803 (P = .034), rs3774262 (P = .034), and rs2082940 (P = .045) were significantly different between OSA and non-OSA groups. Individuals carrying the CT/TT genotypes of rs4686803, GA/AA genotypes of rs3
