| Abstract | <p><b>Context: </b>Vitamin D inadequacy is common in the adult population of the United States. While the genetic determinants underlying vitamin D inadequacy have been studied in people of European ancestry, less is known in Hispanic or African ancestry populations.</p><p><b>Objective: </b>The TRANSCEN-D (TRANS-ethniC Evaluation of vitamiN D GWAS) consortium was assembled to replicate genetic associations with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations from the meta-analyses of European ancestry (SUNLIGHT) and to identify novel genetic variants related to vitamin D concentrations in African and Hispanic ancestries.</p><p><b>Design: </b>Ancestry-specific (Hispanic and African) and trans-ethnic (Hispanic, African and European) meta-analyses were performed using the METAL software.</p><p><b>Patients or Other Participants: </b>In total, 8,541 African-American and 3,485 Hispanic-American (from North America) participants from twelve cohorts, and 16,124 European participants from SUNLIGHT were included in the study.</p><p><b>Main Outcome Measure(s): </b>Blood concentrations of 25(OH)D were measured for all participants.</p><p><b>Results: </b>Ancestry-specific analyses in African and Hispanic Americans replicated SNPs in GC (2 and 4 SNPs, respectively). A potentially novel SNP (rs79666294) near the KIF4B gene was identified in the African-American cohort. Trans-ethnic evaluation replicated GC and DHCR7 region SNPs. Additionally, the trans-ethnic analyses revealed novel SNPs rs719700 and rs1410656 near the ANO6/ARID2 and HTR2A genes, respectively.</p><p><b>Conclusions: </b>Ancestry-specific and trans-ethnic GWAS of 25(OH)D confirmed findings in GC and DHCR7 for African and Hispanic American samples and revealed novel findings near KIF4B, ANO6/ARID2, and HTR2A. The biological mechanisms that link these regions with 25(OH)D metabolism require further investigation.</p> |
