Abstract
Introduction: Genetic factors influence circulating thyroid hormone levels, but the common gene variants involved have not been conclusively identified. The genes encoding the iodothyronine deiodinases are good candidates because they alter the balance of thyroid hormones. We aimed to thoroughly examine the role of common variation across the three deiodinase genes in relation to thyroid hormones.
Methods: We used HapMap data to select single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that captured a large proportion of the common genetic variation across the three deiodinase genes. We analyzed these initially in a cohort of 552 people on T-4 replacement. Suggestive findings were taken forward into three additional studies in people not on T-4 (total n = 2513) and metaanalyzed for confirmation.
Results: A SNP in the DIO1 gene, rs2235544, was associated with the free T-3 to free T-4 ratio with genome-wide levels of significance (P = 3.6 x 10(-13)). The C-allele of this SNP was associated with increased deiodinase 1 (D1) function with resulting increase in free T-3/T-4 ratio and free T-3 and decrease in free T-4 and rT(3). There was no effect on serum TSH levels. None of the SNPs in the genes coding for D2 or D3 had any influence on hormone levels.
Conclusions: This study provides convincing evidence that common genetic variation in DIO1 alters deiodinase function, resulting in an alteration in the balance of circulating free T-3 to free T-4. This should prove a valuable tool to assess the relative effects of circulating free T-3 vs. free T-4 on a wide range of biological parameters.
