| Abstract | Metabolic syndrome (METS) constitutes several metabolic disorders including central obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerances, and elevated blood pressure. METS is known to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) for 2,657 cases and 5,917 controls in Korean populations was performed to discover the genetic risk factors of METS. As a result, we identified 2 SNPs with genome-wide significance level $p-values(<;5×10^{-8}),$ 8SNPs with genome-wide suggestive p-values $(5×10^{-8}≤p-values<;1×10^{-5}),$ and 2SNPs of more functional variants with borderline p-values $(5×10^{-5}≤p-values<;1×10^{-4}).$ On the other hand, the multiple correction criteria of conventional GWASs exclude false-positive loci, but simultaneously, they discard many true-positive loci. To reconsider the discarded true-positive loci, we attempted to include the functional variants [nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL)] among the top 5000 SNPs based on the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by genotypic variance. In total, 159 eQTLs and 18 nsSNPs were presented in the top 5000 SNPs. Although they should be replicated in other independent populations, 6eQTLs and 2nsSNP loci were located in the molecular pathways of LPL, APOA5, and CHRM2, which were the significant or suggestive loci in the METS GWAS. Conclusively, our approach using the conventional GWAS, reconsidering functional variants and pathway-based interpretation, suggests a useful method to understand the GWAS results of complex traits and can be expanded in other genome-wide association studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
