Metabochip
The Metabochip is a custom-designed microarray from Illumina that enables the measurement of genetic variants associated with metabolic and cardiovascular traits. The Metabochip focuses on genomic regions and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously implicated in these phenotypes, allowing for efficient and targeted genotyping.

Genetic Risk Factors for HDL-C in African Americans
Based on a previous fine-mapping study of HDL-C using Metabochip [23 (link)], seven of the 22 fine-mapped HDL-C loci exhibited evidence of association at p < 1x10−4 in African Americans. The seven index SNPs from these seven associated HDL-C loci were selected for use in calculating the genetic risk score (GRS, Table
SNP | Gene of interest | Effect Allele | Effect on HDL-C†(mg/dl) |
---|---|---|---|
rs247617 | CETP | C | −0.111 |
rs1077834 | LIPC | A | −0.033 |
rs10096633 | LPL | G | −0.042 |
rs189069311 | APOA5 | A | −0.080 |
rs255054 | LCAT | A | −0.042 |

rs4810479 | PLTP | G | −0.029 |
†Beta coefficients were drawn from meta-analysis results of PAGE African Americans [23 (link)].

Genetic Risk Scores for Insulin Resistance and Secretion
Cardiometabolic Disease Genetic Risk Profiling
Three PRSs were calculated. A type 2 diabetes PRS has previously been derived for NSHD study members [29 (link)]. In brief, a genetic risk score was computed using the published coefficients for 65 SNPs identified by a prior GWAS for type 2 diabetes [30 (link), 31 ]. We additionally derived a PRS for insulin resistance using 17 previously demonstrated genome-wide significant SNPs [32 (link)] and for hyperglycaemia using ten previously demonstrated SNPs [32 (link)] using PRSice [33 (link)]. This calculates the sum of the number of risk alleles (unweighted score) carried by each person, and weights it based on previously published coefficients (weighted score). As is standard practice, SNPs with a minor allele frequency <0.01 were excluded.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
