The CDH13 SNP rs4783244 was significantly associated with adiponectin levels (P=7.57×10^-9) and increased the risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes in men, and ischemic stroke (OR 2.13, P=0.002).

Does the SNP rs4783244 in the CDH13 gene predict adiponectin levels and the risk of cardiometabolic outcomes in hypertensive and community-based populations?
The CDH13 genetic variant rs4783244 modulates adiponectin levels and is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and ischemic stroke.
p-value: p=7.57 × 10(-9)
OBJECTIVE: The plasma adiponectin level, a potential upstream and internal facet of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, has a reasonably high heritability. Whether other novel genes influence the variation in adiponectin level and the roles of these genetic variants on subsequent clinical outcomes has not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, we aimed not only to identify genetic variants modulating plasma adiponectin levels but also to investigate whether these variants are associated with adiponectin-related metabolic traits and cardiovascular diseases. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with high molecular weight forms of adiponectin levels by genotyping 382 young-onset hypertensive (YOH) subjects with Illumina HumanHap550 SNP chips. The culpable single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants responsible for lowered adiponectin were then confirmed in another 559 YOH subjects, and the association of these SNP variants with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and ischemic stroke was examined in an independent community-based prospective cohort, the CardioVascular Disease risk FACtors Two-township Study (CVDFACTS, n = 3,350). RESULTS: The SNP (rs4783244) most significantly associated with adiponectin levels was located in intron 1 of the T-cadherin (CDH13) gene in the first stage (P = 7.57 × 10(-9)). We replicated and confirmed the association between rs4783244 and plasma adiponectin levels in an additional 559 YOH subjects (P = 5.70 × 10(-17)). This SNP was further associated with the risk of MS (odds ratio OR = 1.42, P = 0.027), T2DM in men (OR = 3.25, P = 0.026), and ischemic stroke (OR = 2.13, P = 0.002) in the CVDFACTS. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicated the role of T-cadherin in modulating adiponectin levels and the involvement of CDH13 or adiponectin in the development of cardiometabolic diseases.
Chung et al. (Wed,) conducted a cohort in Young-onset hypertension and cardiometabolic diseases (n=4,291). CDH13 SNP rs4783244 was evaluated on High molecular weight forms of adiponectin levels (p=7.57 × 10(-9)). The CDH13 SNP rs4783244 was significantly associated with adiponectin levels (P=7.57×10^-9) and increased the risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes in men, and ischemic stroke (OR 2.13, P=0.002).
