Stable methylation loci are associated with systolic blood pressure in a Croatian island population


ABSTRACT: Adriatic islanders have a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome that is not fully explained by previous behavioral, dietary, and genetic studies. Some DNA methylation remains stable and may be established in early life, whereas others are dynamic and may vary over time in response to different conditions. The objective of the present study was to identify stable and dynamic DNA methylation loci associated with cardiometabolic traits among the populations from the island of Hvar, the largest island in the eastern Adriatic coast. An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) was conducted using peripheral blood that was longitudinally collected at two time points, 10 years apart. DNA methylation was analyzed via Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadArray. Stable and dynamic loci were identified using linear mixed models. A total of 43,041 loci were classified as stable, while 45,769 loci were classified as dynamic. Associations between various cardiometabolic traits and stable and dynamic methylation loci were respectively assessed using linear mixed effects models adjusted for age, sex, and smoking status. After adjustment for false-discovery rate, 24 CpG loci were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (Q < 0.1), of which 22 were stable loci and 2 were dynamic loci; while 12/22 (55%) of the systolic blood-pressure-associated stable loci resided in a gene promoter. Additionally, there was one stable locus associated with serum calcium and one with C-reactive protein. The results suggest that multiple genes involved in the determination of systolic blood pressure may be regulated via epigenetic programming established in early life.
