| Abstract: | Background: The cysteine-altering variants in NOTCH3 have been suggested to be associated with stroke, dementia, and cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), where aberrant blood pressure levels represent the characteristics of these diseases. We aimed to assess whether the cysteine-altering p.Arg544Cys (p.R544C; rs201118034) variant and common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in NOTCH3 could contribute to systolic and diastolic blood pressure and related phenotypes in the Taiwan Biobank. Methods: We employed a discovery sample of 68,925 individuals, an independent replication sample of 45,676 individuals, and a combined/total sample of 114,601 individuals; all from the Taiwan Biobank. Blood pressure, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, was measured for all participants. Association was evaluated using a general linear model, where results were considered statistically significant if the P value < 0.05 divided by the number of independent tests per model. Results: From our analysis, we identified and replicated three novel candidates for blood pressure that have not previously been reported: the cysteine-altering p.R544C variant for systolic blood pressure, the common SNV rs11669950 for diastolic blood pressure, and the common SNV rs4808235 for diastolic blood pressure. We also generalized two previously identified SNVs (i.e., rs10418305 and rs7408868) in NOTCH3 for blood pressure in European and non-Taiwanese East Asian populations to the Taiwanese population. Moreover, the participants with NOTCH3 p.R544C had an increased stroke frequency (P < 1.0 × 10–5) and a higher dementia frequency (P = 2.0 × 10–4) compared with the whole Taiwan Biobank population in the combined/total sample. Conclusion: NOTCH3 is a strong candidate for a role in stroke, dementia, and CADASIL, which has previously been linked to blood pressure changes. While our preliminary study suggests that NOTCH3 p.R544C may influence blood pressure, stroke, and dementia in the Taiwan Biobank, replication in a well-powered external sample is required. This study also underlines considerable prospects of detecting novel genetic biomarkers in underrepresented worldwide populations. |
