Rare pathogenic variants in G-protein coupled receptor genes involved in gut-to- host communication are associated with cardiovascular disease risk
2024-10-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Gut microbial metabolites called short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) confer protective effects against cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Proposed mechanisms include anti-inflammatory signalling mediated by SCFA-sensing G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), particularly GPR41, GPR43, and GPR109a, as suggested by knockout mouse models. We aimed to determine if rare pathogenic variants (RPV...
