AIM: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD)-related MRI findings, including white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), are not rare in general elderly populations. The aim of this study was to elucidate the contribution of hereditary CSVD-related genes to CSVD-related MRI findings in a general Japanese population. METHODS: We analyzed datasets from 324 individuals aged ≥ 50 years in Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM), focusing on MRI markers and variants of NOTCH3, ABCC6, COL4A1, COL4A2, GLA, HTRA1, and TREX1 genes. Background factors included age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, alcohol drinking, and smoking. RESULTS: Pathogenic variant carriers were identified within ABCC6 (n = 20), but not other genes. To compare with previous studies including rare NOTCH3 variants regardless of pathogenicity, we included 24 rare functional variants of NOTCH3. We performed a gene-based analysis using the burden test and sequence kernel association test (SKAT) adjusted for background factors, between WMH/lacune and ABCC6/NOTCH3. The only significant finding was the correlation between WMH volume and rare NOTCH3 variants by SKAT, both with the basic model, adjusted for age, sex, and hypertension (p = 0.045), and full model, adjusted for all background factors (p = 0.027). We also analyzed the association between intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion (ICASO) and RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys, the East Asian-specific variant susceptible to ICASO; however, we failed to identify a significant correlation. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that NOTCH3 may contribute to WMH volume in a general Japanese population.

PURPOSE: To investigate the distribution of axial length (AL) and the prevalence of long axial length (LAL) in Japanese children and adolescents. STUDY DESIGN: cross-sectional observational study METHODS: We analyzed AL data from 14,482 participants (7,457 boys and 7,025 girls) aged 4-19 in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study in Japan. AL was measured using a non-contact optical axis measurement device. We evaluated the distribution of AL in the participants with box plots for age. Segmented regression identified age-related trends and breakpoints. We calculated the age-specific proportions of participants with AL ≥ 24.5 mm and those with AL ≥ 26 mm, defined as LAL, which were considered indicative of suspected myopia. RESULTS: Mean AL increased with age, with a break point at 11.73 years. The slope before the break point was β = 0.27, while the slope after the break point decreased to β = 0.12. Boys showed earlier break point (9.87 years) than girls (15.91 years). Proportions with AL ≥ 24.5mm and ≥26mm began to increase approximately at 8 and 10 years of age respectively, with sex differences noted between ages 7 to 10 years and 10 to 11 years. CONCLUSION: This was the first large-scale AL survey in Japan and revealed the age and sex related distribution of AL and the proportion with LAL among Japanese children and adolescents aged 4 to 19 years.

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) has a multifactorial pathogenesis, and the influence of alcohol consumption on it is controversial. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between ARHL and alcohol consumption by using cohort data from Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, including self-reported questionnaires and pure-tone audiometry thresholds (500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz). ARHL was defined as a threshold of > 25 dB in the better ear. Multiple logistic regression analyses (age 50-79 y; 5,219 men and 9,266 women) were conducted separately for men and women and indicated that daily alcohol consumption levels of 60-80 and ≥ 80 g were significantly associated with increased odds of ARHL at 4,000 Hz in men (odds ratio [OR] 1.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.94; OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.12-2.16; respectively); consumption of 10-20 g was significantly associated with reduced odds of ARHL at 4,000 Hz in women (OR 0.81; 95% CI 0.68-0.96). Assessment of drinking-related single nucleotide polymorphisms suggested that the effect of alcohol on ARHL may differ by genotype. Our findings suggest a sex-specific association between alcohol consumption and ARHL; heavy drinking is a potential risk factor in men, whereas moderate drinking may have a protective effect in women.

Antihypertensive therapy has reduced cardiovascular mortality; however, challenges remain, including residual risk in treated patients and the population burden associated with borderline hypertension. Previous Japanese estimates of the population attributable fraction (PAF) are derived from older cohorts and often lacked stratification by treatment status. We conducted a prospective study of 61,495 participants (women: 56.7%, aged 60.7 ± 11.0 years) from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Cohort Study. Participants were classified into six blood pressure (BP) categories based on the JSH 2019 guidelines, and further stratified by hypertension treatment status, resulting in 12 groups. Using untreated individuals with normal BP as the reference, we calculated multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and PAF for the remaining groups using Cox proportional hazards model. During a median follow-up of 6.5 years, 1909 deaths were recorded. HRs increased with rising BP in both untreated and treated participants. The overall PAF for all-cause mortality due to non-normal BP was 9.45%, with a marked sex difference (12.25% in male and 5.16% in female). The highest PAF contributions were observed in the treated Grade I hypertension group (2.18%) and the untreated elevated BP group (1.28%). In this contemporary Japanese cohort, non-normal BP accounts for 9.45% of all-cause mortality, representing a substantial public health burden, particularly among men. The substantial PAF contributions from both treated patients and untreated individuals with elevated BP highlight the importance of effective BP management for both primary and secondary prevention.

Population-scale human whole-genome sequencing (WGS) projects are ongoing worldwide. At a time when such large-scale genome projects were uncommon, the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project initiated genome analysis of the general population in Japan, aiming to build a foundation for personalized medicine and prevention. Recently, we have completed the WGS of 100,000 participants, and research utilizing this genomic foundation is in progress. Early in the project, we realized that standard protocols were not always suitable for large-scale sequencing, necessitating the development of optimized operations and quality control methods. To accommodate various sequencing platforms and adapt protocols to the scale of analysis, we have continuously refined our methods. As multiplex sequencing analysis became standard, we aimed to ensure uniform data quantity across samples. With the advent of large-scale analyses, streamlining operations has also been a critical focus. In this paper, we share the details of our WGS operations and quality control methods developed over a decade, highlighting the unique methods and know-how we have established.

Family history of hypertension may reflect genetic and lifestyle factors. Genetic risk can be assessed using polygenic risk score (PRS); however, whether PRS can stratify hypertension risk when combined with family history and lifestyle information is unclear. This prospective cohort study included 9,001 hypertension-free individuals aged ≥20 years from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Cohort Study. Participants were scored on lifestyle factors, including body mass index, urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking at recruitment. During the mean follow-up of 4.3 years, 2822 (31.4%) cases of hypertension occurred. High genetic risk and poor lifestyle were associated with increased hypertension risk. Compared with participants with low genetic risk, ideal lifestyle, and no family history, high genetic risk significantly increased hypertension risk, even among those with ideal lifestyle and no family history (relative risk [RR] 1.28 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-1.46]). Participants with low PRS, ideal lifestyle, but with family history had increased hypertension risk (RR 1.32 [95%CI 1.11-1.57]). Poor lifestyle increased hypertension risk across most genetic risk groups, regardless of family history. Integrating PRS into models with family history and lifestyle risk significantly improved predictive accuracy (area under the curve: 0.671 for family history and lifestyle risk and 0.674 for PRS integrated; P for difference <0.05). Integrating PRS with lifestyle and family history enhances the stratification of individuals at high risk for hypertension.

Heritability of cognitive function is estimated to be 50%-80%. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple cognitive function-associated loci, primarily in the European population. However, those in Asian populations, particularly in individuals of Japanese ancestry, remain limited. Hence, this GWAS aimed to identify cognitive function-associated genetic loci in elderly individuals of Japanese ancestry. Herein, 2571 elderly participants from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study were included. Their cognitive function was assessed using the Japanese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and both binary and continuous MMSE scores were analysed. Genotyping was performed using the Affymetrix Axiom Japonica Array v2, and imputation was conducted with 3.5KJPNv2 and 1KGP3. Statistical analyses were performed using FastGWA-GLMM and FastGWA for binary and continuous MMSE scores, respectively. Although no genome-wide significant loci were identified using binary MMSE values, the following two were detected using continuous MMSE values: rs77877360 (20p12.1) near BANF2 and SNX5 and rs9460729 (6p22.3) near PRL and HDGFL1. Additionally, functional annotation suggested the involvement of these loci in pathways related to cognitive function, including chromatin structure regulation, neuroinflammation, and iron metabolism. Notably, SNX5, identified through chromatin-interaction mapping, has been implicated in neurodegenerative processes, particularly in Parkinson's disease. The findings of this study provide preliminary genome-wide evidence suggesting a genetic predisposition to impaired cognitive function in elderly Japanese individuals.

BACKGROUND: Whether adherence to a healthy lifestyle can mitigate genetic risk for renal dysfunction remains unclear. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 12 680 adults aged ≥20 years, free from chronic kidney disease at baseline, enrolled in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort study. A healthy lifestyle score-based on normal weight, never smoking, never drinking, regular physical activity, and a low urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio-classified participants into ideal, intermediate, or poor lifestyle groups. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data from a previous multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis. The primary outcome was renal dysfunction, defined as eGFR <60.0 ml/min/1.73 m2. RESULTS: Among the 12 680 adults, 123 participants (0.9%) developed renal dysfunction during a mean follow-up of 4.4 ± 0.8 years. Poor lifestyle was consistently associated with higher risk of renal dysfunction across most PRS categories. Participants with intermediate genetic risk had elevated risk only when also exhibiting an intermediate lifestyle. Formal testing for effect modification by PRS provided modest evidence that the association between high genetic risk and increased risk of renal dysfunction was stronger among individuals with an intermediate lifestyle. Although the addition of the PRS to the model included the C-statistic, this improvement was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is associated with lower risk of renal dysfunction, regardless of genetic risk. Combining PRSs with lifestyle information may enhance risk stratification, although further studies are needed to improve predictive accuracy.

PURPOSE: To investigate long-term axial length (AL) changes in adults and to identify risk factors contributing to excessive AL elongation, which is associated with high myopia, we analysed a large dataset of adults without ocular pathology from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Community-based Cohort Study in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal investigation of 9195 participants aged ≥20 years with several years of follow-up (mean 3.5 years). Based on the upper quartile of AL elongation for people aged in their 20s, we defined AL elongation exceeding 0.033 mm per year as high AL elongation (HALE). We used multiple logistic regression analyses to assess potential risk factors for HALE. RESULTS: A longitudinal investigation revealed that AL can fluctuate and even become elongated during adulthood, particularly among middle-aged and older individuals. Notably, HALE occurred in 618 out of 9195 eyes (6.7%). The proportion in each age group, comprising people aged in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, was 24.7%, 12.7%, 9.4%, 5.2%, 4.5%, 4.0% and 1.4%, respectively. In addition, we also observed that younger age (OR 1.45 per 10 years older), female gender (OR 1.63), high myopia (OR 2.74) and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels >171 IU/mL (OR 1.27) were associated with HALE. CONCLUSION: Findings from a large prospective cohort study confirmed that in Japanese individuals, HALE was significantly associated with high serum IgE levels, as well as with younger age, female gender and pre-existing high myopia.

BACKGROUND: No previous studies have explored metabolites associated with both genetic predispositions to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and T2DM onset. Therefore, we aimed to explore metabolic profiles using genetic risk to identify pathways for tailored T2DM prevention strategies. METHODS: This prospective community-based cohort study in Japan included a total of 12,461 participants aged ≥ 20 years. Genetic predictors were genome-wide and pathway-based polygenic risk scores (PRSs). We quantified 43 metabolites using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. T2DM was defined as a non-fasting glucose level of ≥ 200 mg/dL, glycated hemoglobin level ≥ 6.5%, or self-reported T2DM treatment. A modified Poisson regression model was used to examine the associations of PRSs and metabolites with T2DM incidence. Linear associations were tested using the restricted cubic spline, and mediation analysis was conducted to assess the mediating effect of metabolites on the association between PRSs and T2DM incidence. RESULTS: During the 4.3-year median follow-up period, 354 T2DM cases were identified. A higher PRS was associated with incident T2DM (relative risk [RR] 2.09, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.68-2.60, P < 0.001, 1-standard deviation [SD] increment). The nitrogen compound transport pathway PRS was associated with incident T2DM (RR 1.32, 95% CI 1.03-1.70, P < 0.001, 1-SD increment). Fourteen metabolites like glucose, 2-ketoisocaproic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, 2-aminobutyric acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, valine, 3-methyl-2-oxobutyric acid, alanine, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 3-methyl-2-oxiovaleric acid, formic acid, arginine, and tyrosine were positively associated with the risk of T2DM. Only glycine was inversely associated with the risk of T2DM. Among 43 metabolites, 14 metabolites were positively associated with PRS (P for linear trend < 0.05). 3-hydroxyisobutyric-acid, 2-Aminobutyric acid, 2-ketoisocaproic acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, leucine, glycine, and glucose mediated the association between PRS and incident T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: Several metabolites were found to mediate the association between PRS and incident T2DM. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the metabolic pathways involved in genetic susceptibility to T2DM.

INTRODUCTION: While social capital can prevent diabetes, these benefits can be heterogeneous with respect to socioeconomic status. We investigated the association between social capital and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) while examining effect modification by household income. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a secondary data analysis using the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study carried out between July 2013 and March 2017. Social capital (mutual aid, social trust, informal social control, collective action) and covariates were self-reported, while GDM diagnosis and other medical and physiological information were obtained from medical records. To assess the association between social capital and GDM, we conducted logistic regression models. We further tested for interactions between social capital and household income as well as stratified the models by income. RESULTS: Among 20,339 study participants, 700 (3.4%) were diagnosed with GDM. Multivariable logistic regression models found that social trust and collective action were associated with lower GDM prevalence, even after adjustment of covariates. When stratifying household income, however, social capital was significantly associated with the reduced risks of GDM only among participants with higher household income (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.85-0.97). No significant association was observed among those with lower household income. CONCLUSIONS: The health benefit of social capital on GDM prevalence was heterogeneous, and the protective effect of social capital on GDM was found only among women with higher household income. The differential impact of social capital on GDM highlights the need for targeted interventions addressing structural health inequities.

BACKGROUND: The primary prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases mortality through complications including stroke and heart failure, is important. Excessive salt intake and low potassium intake are risk factors for cardiovascular disease; however, their association with AF remains inconclusive. This study investigated the association between sodium- and potassium-related urinary markers and AF prevalence. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Community-based Cohort Study were used in this cross-sectional study. The urinary sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio and estimated 24-h sodium and potassium excretion were calculated using spot urine samples and categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4). The prevalence of AF was the primary outcome. Of the 26,506 participants (mean age 64.8 years; 33.2% males) included in this study, 630 (2.4%) had AF. Using Q1 as the reference group, the odds ratios for AF prevalence in Q4 were 1.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.73) and 1.59 (95% CI 1.20-2.12) for 24-h estimated urinary Na/K ratio and estimated 24-h sodium excretion, respectively. Estimated 24-h potassium excretion was not associated with AF prevalence. CONCLUSIONS: AF prevalence was positively associated with the urinary Na/K ratio and estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion, but not with estimated 24-h urinary potassium excretion. Although further prospective studies are warranted, the findings of this study suggest that salt intake may be a modifiable risk factor for AF.

BACKGROUND: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular condition with diverse and heterogeneous symptoms. Current treatment standards of DED include the post facto management of associated symptoms through topical eye drops. However, there is a need for predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory medicine. The DryEyeRhythm mobile health app enables real-time data collection on environmental, lifestyle, host, and digital factors in a patient's daily environment. Combining these data with genetic information from biobanks could enhance our understanding of individual variations and facilitate the development of personalized treatment strategies for DED. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to integrate digital data from the DryEyeRhythm smartphone app with the Tohoku Medical Megabank database to create a comprehensive database that elucidates the interplay between multifactorial factors and the onset and progression of DED. METHODS: This prospective observational cohort study will include 1200 participants for the discovery stage and 1000 participants for the replication stage, all of whom have data available in the Tohoku Medical Megabank database. Participants will be recruited from the Community Support Center of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Participant enrollment for the discovery stage was conducted from August 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, and the replication stage will be conducted from August 31, 2024, to March 31, 2026. Participants will provide demographic data, medical history, lifestyle information, DED symptoms, and maximum blink interval measurements at baseline and after 30 days using the DryEyeRhythm smartphone app. Upon scanning a registration code, each participant's cohort ID from the Tohoku Medical Megabank database will be linked to their smartphone app, enabling data integration between the Tohoku Medical Megabank and DryEyeRhythm database. The primary outcome will assess the association between genetic polymorphisms and DED using a genome-wide association study. Secondary outcomes will explore associations between DED and various factors, including sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, medical history, biospecimen analyses (eg, blood and urine), and physiological measurements (eg, height, weight, and eye examination results). Associations will be evaluated using logistic regression analysis, adjusting for potential confounding factors. RESULTS: The discovery stage of participant enrollment was conducted from August 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022. The replication stage will take place from August 31, 2024, to March 31, 2026. Data analysis is expected to be completed by September 2026, with results reported by March 2027. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the potential of smartphone apps in advancing biobank research and deepening the understanding of multifactorial DED, paving the way for personalized treatment strategies in the future.

OBJECTIVES: Owing to spousal pairs often exhibiting similar health behaviors, this study examined the concordance of cancer screening attendance between spouses using cross-sectional data from a large biobank study in Japan, which included 2022 spousal pairs. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: Self-administered data were collected to determine whether participants had undergone screening for colorectal, gastric, and lung cancers in the past year. The following two analyses were conducted: the exposure was whether the husband attended cancer screening, and the outcome was whether the wife attended; the exposure was whether the wife attended, and the outcome was whether the husband attended. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed, adjusting for confounding factors in the exposed individuals. RESULTS: The multivariate odds ratio (95% confidence interval, p-value) for wives attending colorectal cancer screening when their husbands had attended was 2.7 (2.2-3.3, p < 0.0001), indicating a significant positive association. Similarly, when wives were the exposure and husbands were the outcomes, the odds ratio was 2.6 (2.2-3.2, p < 0.0001). Notably, these associations were consistent across colorectal, gastric, and lung cancer screenings. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study support the hypothesis that the attendance of one spouse at cancer screening significantly positively influences that of the other spouse, regardless of the type of cancer screening or the age of the spouses. Novel intervention strategies can be developed that specifically target spousal pairs and potentially enhance the effectiveness of cancer prevention initiatives compared to those targeting individuals alone.

BACKGROUND: Early detection and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) are crucial. Combined models incorporating genetic risks and clinical risks have been developed to improve predictive ability. Although sex differences have been reported in many aspects of AF, sex differences in genetic risk have not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the sex difference in the effect of polygenic risk score for AF (AF-PRS) on AF prevalence using cross-sectional data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Community-Based Cohort Study in Japan. METHODS: AF-PRS and Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Atrial Fibrillation (CHARGE-AF) score were used for genetic AF risks and clinical AF risks, respectively. Sex differences in the association of AF-PRS with the prevalence of AF were evaluated. RESULTS: Among 16,853 participants (mean age 63.4 years; 5182, 30.7% men), the prevalence of AF was 255 (4.9%) in men and 130 (1.1%) in women. In the group with high AF-PRS and high CHARGE-AF score, the odds ratio for AF was highest in men and women (8.2 in men and 9.4 in women), compared with that in the group with low AF-PRS and low CHARGE-AF score. Integrating AF-PRS into the CHARGE-AF score significantly enhanced the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for AF in men (from 0.639 to 0.749) but not in women (from 0.710 to 0.733). CONCLUSION: Our study is the first to show a sex difference in the association of AF-PRS and AF prevalence. AF-PRS is more closely associated with the prevalence of AF in men than in women.

Large-scale population cohort studies that collect genomic information are tasked with returning an assessment of genetic risk for hereditary cancers to participants. While several studies have applied to return identified genetic risks to participants, comprehensive surveys of participants' understanding, feelings, and behaviors toward cancer risk remain to be conducted. Here, we report our experience and surveys of returning genetic risks to 100 carriers of pathogenic variants for hereditary cancers identified through whole genome sequencing of 50 000 individuals from the Tohoku Medical Megabank project, a population cohort study. The participants were carriers of pathogenic variants associated with either hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (n = 79, median age=41) or Lynch syndrome (n = 21, median age=62). Of these, 28% and 38% had a history of cancer, respectively. We provided information on cancer risk, heritability, and clinical actionability to the participants in person. The comprehension assessment revealed that the information was better understood by younger (under 60 years) females than by older males. Scores on the cancer worry scale were positively related to cancer experiences and general psychological distress. Seventy-one participants were followed up at Tohoku University Hospital; six females underwent risk-reducing surgery triggered by study participation and three were newly diagnosed with cancer during surveillance. Among first-degree relatives of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer carriers, participants most commonly shared the information with daughters. This study showed the benefits of returning genetic risks to the general population and will provide insights into returning genetic risks to asymptomatic pathogenic variant carriers in both clinical and research settings.

BACKGROUND: Natural disasters may have negative health effects on survivors. However, long-term observations on this are lacking. Therefore, this study investigated the association between the degree of housing damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and all-cause mortality using the data from the cohort study conducted by the Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) Project in disaster-stricken areas. METHODS: The community-based cohort study of the TMM Project which conducted a baseline survey from May 2013 to March 2016 collected data using questionnaires and blood and urine tests. The present large-scale prospective cohort study was a follow-up survey in which the degree of house damage and all-cause mortality were analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusting for sex, age and other potentially confounding variables. The degree of house damage was categorised into 'did not live in the disaster area', 'no damage', 'small-scale damage' and 'large-scale damage'. Among the 58 320 participants, 1763 deaths were confirmed during the follow-up which averaged 6.5 years. RESULTS: The multivariate analysis showed a hazard ratio (95% CI) of 0.96 (0.82 to 1.13) for those who did not live in the disaster area, 0.98 (0.87 to 1.10) for small-scale damage and 0.98 (0.85 to 1.14) for large-scale damage, compared with no damage, but no significant association with all-cause mortality was observed. CONCLUSION: The results of this large-scale prospective cohort study of GEJE survivors showed no significant relationship between the degree of house damage and all-cause mortality. Further long-term follow-up studies are needed to examine the long-term health effects of natural disasters on survivors.

OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have assessed the impact of active smoking on mortality using the population-attributable fraction (PAF). However, these studies have not included second-hand smoking (SHS), potentially underestimating smoking's impact. We compared the PAF from active smoking alone with the PAF, including SHS exposure. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: A community-based cohort study in Japan. PARTICIPANTS: 40 796 participants aged ≥20 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: SHS was defined as inhaling someone else's cigarette smoke at the workplace or home in the past year. We classified smoking status and SHS into ten categories: never-smoker without SHS, never-smoker with SHS, past smoker without SHS, past smoker with SHS, current smoker 1-9 cigarettes/day without SHS, current smoker 1-9 cigarettes/day with SHS, 10-19 cigarettes/day without SHS, 10-19 cigarettes/day with SHS, ≥20 cigarettes/day without SHS and ≥20 cigarettes/day with SHS. The main outcome was all-cause mortality. RESULTS: During the median follow-up period of 6.5 (5.7-7.5) years, 788 men and 328 women died. For men, compared with never-smokers without SHS, past smokers without SHS (HR, 1.39 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.73]) and past smokers with SHS (HR, 1.48 (95% CI, 1.10 to 2.00)) were associated with all-cause mortality. For women, never-smokers with SHS had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.36 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.84)). Without considering SHS, 28.0% and 2.3% of all-cause mortality in men and women, respectively, were attributable to past and current smoking. Including SHS, PAF increased to 31.3% in men and 8.4% in women. CONCLUSIONS: We clarified that smoking's impact was underestimated by not accounting for SHS, especially in women. Information on SHS is crucial for understanding smoking's health impact. This study supports the importance of avoiding smoking and preventing SHS.

BACKGROUND: Studies investigating whether respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, non-RSV respiratory infections, respiratory-related disorders, and non-respiratory-related disorders are associated with subsequent wheezing are limited in Japan. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between hospitalization for RSV infection, non-RSV respiratory infections, respiratory-related disorders, as well as non-respiratory-related disorders and subsequence wheezing in Japanese children. METHODS: This study included 7340 children and was conducted under the TMM BirThree Cohort Study (Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study). Data was collected from birth records and questionnaires. We categorized hospitalization history into five categories: "no hospitalization," hospitalizations for "RSV infection," "non-RSV respiratory infections," "respiratory-related disorders," and "non-respiratory-related disorders." The association of the five categories with later wheezing at 3 years of age was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: After adjusting for covariates, an association was shown between hospitalization under 2 years of age and later wheezing (odds ratio [OR] = 2.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.97-3.88 for "RSV infection"; OR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.44-4.57 for "non-RSV respiratory infections"; and OR = 3.33; 95% CI = 2.43-4.54 for "respiratory-related disorders"). CONCLUSION: Hospitalization of children under 2 years of age for RSV infection as well as non-RSV respiratory infections and respiratory-related disorders were associated with subsequent wheezing.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to elucidate the distribution and determinants of ocular biometric parameters and to assess the association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Japanese population-based genome cohort studies. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis involving genome-wide association studies (GWASs). PARTICIPANTS: In total, 22 150 participants aged >18 years from the population cohort (Community-Based Cohort [CommCohort]) and 11 302 participants from the Birth and Three-Generation (BirThree) Cohort of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization Eye Study were examined. METHODS: Participant underwent interviews, ophthalmic and physiological examinations, laboratory tests, and microarray analyses. Genome-wide association studies were conducted in the CommCohort (discovery stage) and the BirThree Cohort (replication stage), followed by a meta-analysis. Associations of SNPs and IOP were evaluated using a genome-wide significance threshold (5 × 10- 8). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Association of SNPs with IOP and distributions of IOP by sex and age. RESULTS: In the discovery stage, the mean IOP of the right and left eye was 13.95 and 14.02 mmHg, respectively. In the replication stage, the corresponding values were 14.32 and 14.27 mmHg, respectively. A significant age-related reduction in IOP was observed in both stages (P < 0.001). Genome-wide association studies identified 573 and 2 genome-wide significant SNPs in the discovery and replication stages, respectively. Meta-analysis revealed 1601 significant SNPs across 21 loci on 11 chromosomes (Chrs). Of these loci, 17 were previously known to be associated with IOP or glaucoma, while four-septin-8 (SEPT8; Chr5), aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2; Chr12), collagen type VI alpha 2 chain (COL6A2; Chr21), and Wnt family member 7B (WNT7B; Chr22)-were newly identified. CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale GWAS in a Japanese population identified 21 loci associated with IOP, including 4 novel loci. The findings highlight both genetic similarities and population-specific variations in SNPs influencing IOP and provide valuable insights to enhance eye health care, including glaucoma management.

PURPOSE: To examine the prevalence of epiretinal membrane (ERM) according to the OCT-based severity scales, and to describe associations focusing on the impact of smoking and axial length of the globe. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: The baseline examination cohort comprised participants from the Tohoku Medical Megabank community cohort recruited from 2013 to 2017. METHODS: In total, 38 118 eyes of 19 486 participants were classified with ERM staging. The characteristics of ERM severity were analyzed, and the association between the prevalence of ERM and ocular and systemic parameters was investigated using logistic regression models. Cubic spline models were constructed to visualize the relationships with lifetime smoking exposure and axial lengths. Regarding ERM severity, the associations between stage 1 and stage 2 or more were analyzed with multivariate analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Epiretinal membrane prevalence at each stage determined via OCT and factors associated with ERM presence and severity. RESULTS: The prevalence of ERM was 2.3% per eye (3.6% per person), with a predominance at stage 1. The presence of severe ERM stages was higher in older individuals. The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that older age, female sex, and long axial length were associated with a higher prevalence of ERM. In a multivariate analysis stratified by sex, glaucoma was also identified as a significant factor associated with the prevalence of ERM in women. In the cubic spline model, no consistent trend was observed between smoking and ERM prevalence. However, a U-shaped relationship was indicated between axial length and ERM prevalence. Epiretinal membrane severity highlighted older age, alcohol consumption, and very long axial length as significantly associated compared with stage 1. CONCLUSIONS: Epiretinal membrane prevalence was significantly associated with older age, female sex, and long axial length.

INTRODUCTION: Brain age gap (BAG), defined as the difference between MRI-predicted 'brain age' and chronological age, can capture information underlying various neurological disorders. We investigated the pathophysiological significance of the BAG across neurodegenerative disorders. METHODS: We developed a brain age estimator using structural MRIs of healthy-aged individuals from one cohort study. Subsequently, we applied this estimator to people with Alzheimer's disease spectra (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) from another cohort study. We investigated brain sources responsible for BAGs among these groups. RESULTS: Both AD and PD exhibited a positive BAG. Brain sources showed overlapping, yet partially segregated, neuromorphological differences between these groups. Furthermore, employing with t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding on the brain sources, we subclassified PD into two groups with and without cognitive impairment. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest that brain age estimation becomes a clinically relevant method for finely stratifying neurodegenerative disorders. HIGHLIGHTS: Brain age estimated from structure MRI data was greater than chronological age in patients with Alzheimer's disease/mild cognitive impairment or Parkinson's disease.Brain regions attributed to brain age estimation were located mainly in the fronto-temporo-parietal cortices but not in the motor cortex or subcortical regions.Brain sources responsible for the brain age gaps revealed roughly overlapping, yet partially segregated, neuromorphological differences between participants with Alzheimer's disease/mild cognitive impairment and Parkinson's disease.Participants with Parkinson's disease were subclassified into two groups (with and without cognitive impairment) based on brain sources responsible for the brain age gaps.

BACKGROUND: Dementia is age-related with a significant genetic contribution, yet genome-wide association studies have not fully accounted for heritability. This discrepancy may in part be due to reliance on SNPs and small indels. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in the Japanese population may reveal population-specific susceptibility loci for dementia. Retinal imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is noninvasive, reproducible, and can detect thinning associated with progressive neurodegeneration. Association of population-specific genetic susceptibility loci with retinal thinning and cognitive decline may reveal novel aspects of dementia risk and pathophysiology. METHOD: Among participants with WGS data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo) Ophthalmology Study ("ToMMo Eye Study"), individuals with adequate quality data on retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell layer thickness from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were selected. Since retinal thinning also occurs in glaucoma, we performed a GWAS using age, sex, and 10 principal components as covariates using SAGE1.2 to obtain a set of genes responsible for glaucoma and confirm that the genotyping was successful. We then attempted to identify susceptibility loci for cognitive decline by using (1) the Mini-Mental State Examination, Japanese version (MMSE-J), (2) the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Japanese version (MoCA-J), and (3) the Mini-COG© (a simple screening for early detection of dementia, Japanese version) scores as associated factors, respectively. Furthermore, these validation results were also compared with those obtained from GWAS using imputation data performed on custom arrays (Japonica ArrayTM, v2 or NEO) for Japanese. RESULT: 84 significant (p < 5.0E-8) genome-wide susceptibility loci (hg38) of RNFL were detected on 14K WGS-based study (the top hit locus: Chr14, SIX6 gene, P = 4.50E-46). There were many genetic loci that have already been reported to be associated with glaucoma susceptibility, including the above locus. Among the results of GWAS for cognitive decline combining the three cognitive scores after normalization to z-scores, several loci have shown significant susceptibility in both of RNFL and cognitive rating scale. Some loci suggested more than a high or moderate effect of altering protein efficacy. CONCLUSION: We present an initial WGS-based genetic study of retinal thickness and cognitive decline in the Japanese population.

AIM: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of postpartum depression (PPD) based on accumulated cohorts with multiple ethnic backgrounds have failed to identify significantly associated loci. Herein, we conducted a GWAS of Japanese perinatal women along with detailed confounding information to uncover PPD-associated loci. METHODS: The first and second cohorts (n = 9260 and n = 8582 perinatal women enrolled in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project) and the third cohort (n = 997), recruited at Nagoya University, underwent genotyping. Of them, 1421, 1264, and 225 were classified as PPD based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale 1 month after delivery. The most influential confounding factors of genetic liability to PPD were selected, and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate genetic associations with PPD after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS: A meta-analysis of GWAS results from the three cohorts identified significant associations between PPD and the following loci (P < 5 × 10-8) by integrating the number of deliveries and the number of family members living together as the most influential confounders: rs377546683 at DAB1, rs11940752 near UGT8, rs141172317, rs117928019, rs76631412, rs118131805 at DOCK2, rs188907279 near ZNF572, rs504378, rs690150, rs491868, rs689917, rs474978, rs690118, rs690253 near DIRAS2, rs1435984417 at ZNF618, rs57705782 near PTPRM, and rs185293917 near PDGFB. Pathway analyses indicated that SNPs suggestively associated with PPD were mostly over-represented in categories including long-term depression, GnRH signaling, glutamatergic synapse, oxytocin signaling, and Rap1 signaling. CONCLUSION: The current GWAS study identified eight loci significantly associated with PPD, which may clarify the genetic structure underlying its pathogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) contributes to decreased life expectancy. We examined the association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), non-leisure-time physical activity (non-LTPA) and kidney function. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study including 32 162 community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 20 years from the Tohoku Medical MegaBank community-based cohort study. Kidney function was evaluated using cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as well as self-reported LTPA and non-LTPA. CKD was defined as either eGFR decline (≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) or presence of albuminuria (albumin-creatinine ≥ 30 mg/g). The association between domain-specific physical activity and kidney function, and CKD prevalence was examined using multivariable-adjusted ordinary least squares and modified Poisson models. RESULTS: The mean eGFR was 98.1 (± 13.2) mL/min/1.73 m2. 3 185 (9.9%) participants were classified as having CKD. The mean LTPA and non-LTPA levels were 2.9 (± 4.2) and 16.6 (± 14.2) METs-hour/day, respectively. For LTPA, in the adjusted model, the quartile groups with higher levels had a higher kidney function (β, 0.36; 95% confidence intervals [CI], [0.06, 0.66]; p = 0.019 for the 2nd quartile, β, 0.82; 95% CI, [0.51, 1.14]; p < 0.001 for the 3rd quartile, and β, 1.16; 95% CI, [0.83, 1.49]; p < 0.001 for the 4th quartile), whereas there were no apparent associations for prevalence of CKD. For non-LTPA, 4th quartile was associated with decreased eGFR (β, -0.42; 95% CI, [-0.72, -0.11]; p = 0.007) and higher prevalence of CKD prevalence (Prevalence ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, [1.02, 1.24]; p = 0.022). These associations with kidney function remained consistent in the subgroup analyses divided by demographic and biological variables. CONCLUSIONS: We observed a positive association between higher LTPA levels and better kidney function, but not association with CKD prevalence. In contrast, higher non-LTPA was negatively associated with both kidney function and CKD prevalence. These findings suggest that promoting LTPA is beneficial for kidney function.

Abstract Objective To investigate the inter-relationships among genetic risk, healthy lifestyle adherence, and hyperuricaemia susceptibility. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted with 7,241 hyperuricaemia-free individuals aged ≥ 20 years from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based cohort study. A comprehensive lifestyle score included body mass index, smoking, drinking, and physical activity, and a polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed based on uric acid loci from a previous genome-wide association study meta-analysis. A multiple logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between genetic risk, healthy lifestyle, and hyperuricaemia incidence and calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Hyperuricaemia was defined as a uric acid level ≥7.0 mg/dl or a self-reported history of hyperuricaemia. Results Of the 7,241 adults (80.7% females; mean [SD] age: 57.7 [12.6] years), 217 (3.0%) developed hyperuricaemia during 3.5 years of follow-up. Genetic risk correlated with hyperuricaemia development (P for interaction = 0.287), and lifestyle risks were independently associated. Those with a high genetic risk and poor lifestyle had the highest risk (odds ratio: 5.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.61–12.10). Although not statistically significant, incorporating the PRS in the model with lifestyle information improved predictive ability (AUROC = 0.771, 95% CI: 0.736–0.806 for lifestyle; AUROC = 0.785, 95% CI: 0.751–0.819 for lifestyle and PRS; p = 0.07). Conclusion : A healthy lifestyle to prevent hyperuricaemia, irrespective of genetic risk, may mitigate the genetic risk. Genetic risk may complement lifestyle factors in identifying individuals at a heightened hyperuricaemia risk.

PURPOSE: To explore the frequency and positions of genetic mutations in CYP1B1 and FOXC1 in a Japanese population. STUDY DESIGN: Molecular genetic analysis. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from 31 Japanese patients with childhood glaucoma (CG) from 29 families. We examined the CYP1B, FOXC1, and MYOC genes using Sanger sequencing and whole-exome sequencing (WES). RESULTS: For CYP1B1, we identified 9 families that harbored novel mutations, p.A202T, p.D274E, p.Q340*, and p.V420G; the remaining mutations had been previously reported. When mapped to the CYP1B1 protein structure, all mutations appeared to influence the enzymatic activity of CYP1B1 by provoking structural deformity. Five patients were homozygotes or compound heterozygotes, supporting the recessive inheritance of the CYP1B1 mutations in CG. In contrast, four patients were heterozygous for the CYP1B1 mutation, suggesting the presence of regulatory region mutations or strong modifiers. For the FOXC1 gene, we identified 3 novel mutations, p.Q23fs, p.Q70R, and p.E163*, all of which were identified in a heterozygous state. No mutation was found in the MYOC gene in these CG patients. All individuals with CYP1B1 and FOXC1 mutations were severely affected by early-onset CG. In the CYP1B1-, FOXC1-, and MYOC-negative families, we also searched for variants in the other candidate genes reported for CG through WES, but could not find any mutations in these genes. CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses of 29 CG families revealed 9 families with point mutations in the CYP1B1 gene, and four of those patients appeared to be heterozygotes, suggesting the presence of complex pathogenic mechanisms. FOXC1 appears to be another major causal gene of CG, indicating that panel sequencing of CYP1B1 and FOXC1 will be useful for diagnosis of CG in Japanese individuals.

This study aimed to investigate the association of combination of birth weight and current body mass index (BMI) with the risk of hypertension in adulthood. This cross-sectional study used data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study conducted in Japan. A total of 10,688 subjects aged ≥20 years were eligible. We calculated the least square (LS) means of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and trend tests were performed to evaluate the linear relationships between birth weight categories and SBP. We also used a multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the risk of hypertension associated with the combination of birth weight and current BMI. There was a statistically inverse association between birth weight and SBP in the 20-64 age group, but no significant association in the ≥65 age group. Low birth weight (LBW) with normal BMI group had a higher risk of hypertension than the normal or high birth weight groups with normal BMI. Furthermore, the group with LBW and BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2 was the highest risk for hypertension (adjusted odds ratio: 2.73; 95% CI, 2.04-3.65) compared to the reference group (birth weight 2500-3499 g and BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2). There was a significant association between LBW and subsequent risk of hypertension. In addition, participants with lower birth weights had a higher risk of hypertension than those with higher birth weights. However, even in participants with a lower birth weight, the risk of hypertension could be reduced when they maintained an optimal BMI.

BACKGROUND: Measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (Feno) has been used in the diagnosis and management of asthma. Understanding the distribution of Feno in a larger resident population and its "healthy" subpopulation would contribute to the interpretation of Feno in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the distribution and its associated factors in the adult population and its healthy subpopulations. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 8,638 men and 17,288 women aged 20 years or older living in Miyagi prefecture, Japan. We investigated the distribution of Feno and its associated factors in all subjects, a subpopulation with no history of upper and lower airway diseases (healthy subpopulation 1), and a subpopulation with no history of upper and lower airway diseases, normal lung function, and no positivity for other biomarkers of type 2 inflammation (healthy subpopulation 2). RESULTS: The distribution of Feno in healthy subpopulations, especially in healthy subpopulation 2 (median [interquartile range], 17 [12-23] with 95th percentile of 36 ppb) was lower than in all subjects (19 [13-26] ppb with 95th percentile of 47 ppb). In healthy subpopulation 1, 10.3% had elevated Feno (≥35 ppb), and elevated Feno was positively associated with factors including obstructive ventilatory defect, blood eosinophilia, house dust mite-specific IgE positivity, and history of hypertension. Male sex was associated with elevated Feno in all subjects and healthy subpopulations. CONCLUSION: The distribution of Feno in the healthy subpopulation supports the validity of the criteria (≥35 ppb) currently used in Japan for the diagnosis of asthma.

INTRODUCTION: The Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) was established for creative reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Two prospective genome cohort studies in Miyagi prefecture have successfully recruited approximately 127,000 participants. The health status of these individuals was evaluated at the initial recruitment, and follow-up health checkups have been conducted every 5 years. During these health checkups, unexpected critical values were encountered, which prompted us to develop an urgent notification system. METHODS: We analyzed the frequency of critical values observed in home blood pressure (HBP) test in an urgent notification office (UNO). We returned the critical values by urgent notification before the notifications of regular results. In addition, the impact of the TMM urgent notification on the participants was evaluated. RESULTS: We issued urgent notifications of the critical values of extremely high HBP. Of the 21,061 participants who underwent HBP measurements, 256 (1.2%) met the criteria for urgent notification. It was found that abnormalities in blood sugar levels, renal function, and lipid values were frequently concurrent with the abnormal HBP readings. Annual questionnaires administered after the urgent notification, approximately 60% of those went to hospitals or clinics. CONCLUSIONS: The urgent notification system for hypertensive emergency with HBP in the TMM was well accepted by the participants and encouraged them to seek medical care. The system has been useful in addressing the prolonged healthcare problems and in promoting health care in large-scale disaster damaged areas.

Depression is comorbid with somatic diseases; however, the relationship between depressive symptoms and hypertension (HT), a risk factor for cardiovascular events, remains unclear. Home blood pressure (BP) is more reproducible and accurately predictive of cardiovascular diseases than office BP. Therefore, we focused on home BP and investigated whether depressive symptoms contributed to the future onset of home HT. This prospective cohort study used data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Cohort Study (conducted in the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan) and included participants with home normotension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 135 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 85 mmHg). Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Japanese version at the baseline survey. In the secondary survey, approximately 4 years later, the onset of home HT was evaluated (SBP ≥ 135 mmHg or DBP ≥ 85 mmHg) and was compared in participants with and without depressive symptoms. Of the 3 082 (mean age: 54.2 years; females: 80.9%) participants, 729 (23.7%) had depressive symptoms at the baseline survey. During the 3.5-year follow-up, 124 (17.0%) and 388 (16.5%) participants with and without depressive symptoms, respectively, developed home HT. Multivariable adjusted odds ratios were 1.37 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.84), 1.18 (95% CI: 0.86-1.61), and 1.66 (95% CI: 1.17-2.36) for home, morning, and evening HT, respectively. This relationship was consistent in the subgroup analyses according to age, sex, BP pattern, and drinking habit. Depressive symptoms increased the risk of new-onset home HT, particularly evening HT, among individuals with home normotension. This prospective cohort study revealed that depressive symptoms are risk factors for new-onset home hypertension, particularly evening hypertension among individuals with home normotension. Assessing home blood pressure in individuals with depressive symptoms is important for the prevention of hypertension and concomitant cardiovascular diseases.

No study, to our knowledge, has constructed a polygenic risk score based on clinical blood pressure and investigated the association of genetic and lifestyle risks with home hypertension. We examined the associations of combined genetic and lifestyle risks with hypertension and home hypertension. In a cross-sectional study of 7027 Japanese individuals aged ≥20 years, we developed a lifestyle score based on body mass index, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and sodium-to-potassium ratio, categorized into ideal, intermediate, and poor lifestyles. A polygenic risk score was constructed with the target data (n = 1405) using publicly available genome-wide association study summary statistics from BioBank Japan. Using the test data (n = 5622), we evaluated polygenic risk score performance and examined the associations of combined genetic and lifestyle risks with hypertension and home hypertension. Hypertension and home hypertension were defined as blood pressure measured at a community-support center ≥140/90 mmHg or at home ≥135/85 mmHg, respectively, or self-reported treatment for hypertension. In the test data, 2294 and 2322 participants had hypertension and home hypertension, respectively. Both polygenic risk and lifestyle scores were independently associated with hypertension and home hypertension. Compared with those of participants with low genetic risk and an ideal lifestyle, the odds ratios for hypertension and home hypertension in the low genetic risk and poor lifestyle group were 1.94 (95% confidence interval, 1.34-2.80) and 2.15 (1.60-2.90), respectively. In summary, lifestyle is important to prevent hypertension; nevertheless, participants with high genetic risk should carefully monitor their blood pressure despite a healthy lifestyle.

AIM: This study examined the relationship between genetic risk, healthy lifestyle, and risk of developing diabetes. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 11,014 diabetes-free individuals ≥ 20 years old from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based cohort study. Lifestyle scores, including the body mass index, smoking, physical activity, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (marker of alcohol consumption), were assigned, and participants were categorized into ideal, intermediate, and poor lifestyles. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed based on the type 2 diabetes loci from the BioBank Japan study. A multiple logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between genetic risk, healthy lifestyle, and diabetes incidence and to calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULT: Of the 11,014 adults included (67.8% women; mean age [standard deviation], 59.1 [11.3] years old), 297 (2.7%) developed diabetes during a mean 4.3 (0.8) years of follow-up. Genetic and lifestyle score is independently associated with the development of diabetes. Compared with the low genetic risk and ideal lifestyle groups, the odds ratio was 3.31 for the low genetic risk and poor lifestyle group. When the PRS was integrated into a model including the lifestyle and family history, the AUROC significantly improved to 0.719 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.692-0.747) compared to a model including only the lifestyle and family history (0.703 [95% CI, 0.674-0.732]). CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that adherence to a healthy lifestyle is important for preventing diabetes, regardless of genetic risk. In addition, genetic risk might provide information beyond lifestyle and family history to stratify individuals at high risk of developing diabetes.

Risk factors for hypertension have been emphasized in the Japanese Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension. However, large-scale studies on the association of smoking, potassium excretion, and gamma-glutamyl transferase level with BP in the Japanese population are limited. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the association between hypertension risk factors and systolic blood pressure in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study (23,446 men and 38,921 women aged ≥20 years). A model adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking status, drinking status, estimated daily salt intake, potassium excretion, (or urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio), gamma-glutamyl transferase, physical activity, education level, status of damage to homes during the Great East Japan Earthquake, and residential areas was used. The average age and systolic blood pressure were 62.5 (10.3) years for men and 59.6 (11.3) years for women, 128.9 (16.7) mmHg for men and 124.7 (17.5) mmHg for women, respectively. Body mass index estimated daily salt intake, urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels were positively associated with systolic blood pressure. Compared with never-drinkers, current drinkers who consumed 23-45 g/day and ≥46.0 g/day had significantly increased systolic blood pressure. Conversely, current smokers (1-10 cigarettes/day and 11-20 cigarettes/day) were inversely associated with systolic blood pressure compared to never-smokers. Overall, systolic blood pressure was associated with gamma-glutamyl transferase and hypertension risk factors, including body mass index, alcohol consumption, estimated daily salt intake, urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio, and potassium excretion. Our findings support the notion that lifestyle modifications should be attempted to prevent hypertension.

AIM: To evaluate the association between housing and psychological damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and modifiable risk factors (MRFs) of dementia for general population of older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study enrolled 29 039 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 69.1 ± 2.9 years, 55.5% women). We evaluated disaster-related damage (by complete or not complete housing damage) and psychological damage (by post-traumatic stress reaction [PTSR]) after the GEJE using a self-report questionnaire. MRFs encompassed the presence of depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, smoking, and diabetes. We examined the association between disaster-related damage and MRFs using ordinary least squares and modified Poisson regression models adjusted for sociodemographic and health status variables. RESULTS: Complete housing damage and PTSR were identified in 2704 (10.0%) and 855 (3.2%) individuals, respectively. The number of MRFs was significantly larger for the individuals with complete housing damage (β = 0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.19-0.27) and PTSR (β = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.53-0.67). Prevalence ratios (PRs) for depression and physical inactivity were higher in individuals with complete housing damage. The PRs for all domains of the MRFs were significantly higher in individuals with PTSR. CONCLUSIONS: Housing and psychological damage caused by the GEJE were associated with an increased risk factor of dementia.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The objective of this research is to examine factors related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) prevalence in a large population-based study. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants in the Miyagi part of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Community-Based cohort study who completed the Rome II Modular Questionnaire. Multivariate odds ratios (ORs) for the presence of IBS and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the reference group were calculated for each factor. Additionally, a stratified analysis was performed by sex and age group (20-49 years, 50-64 years, and ≥ 65 years). RESULTS: Among 16 252 participants, 3025 (18.6%) had IBS, comprising 750 men (15.5%) and 2275 women (19.9%). Multivariate ORs for the presence of IBS decreased significantly with each year of age (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99). Moreover, compared with the reference group, ORs for the presence of IBS were significantly higher in individuals whose home was partially damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, those with < 16 years of education, those who spent less time walking, those with high perceived stress (1.77, 1.57-2.01), those with high psychological distress (1.58, 1.36-1.82), and those with high symptoms of depression (1.76, 1.60-1.94). In stratified analyses, a significant relationship was found between psychological factors and IBS prevalence in all sex and age groups. CONCLUSIONS: This large cross-sectional population-based cohort study identified several factors associated with IBS prevalence. Psychological factors were significantly associated with IBS prevalence across all age groups and sexes.

BACKGROUND: Upper and lower extremity muscle strength can be used to predict health outcomes. However, the difference between the relation of upper extremity muscle and of lower extremity muscle with physiological factors is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between physiological data and muscle strength, measured using grip and leg extension strength, among Japanese adults. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 2,861 men and 6,717 women aged ≥ 20 years living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Grip strength was measured using a dynamometer. Leg extension strength was measured using a hydraulic isokinetic leg press machine. Anthropometry and physiological data, including blood pressure, calcaneal ultrasound bone status, pulmonary function, carotid echography, and blood information, were assessed. We used a general linear model adjusted for age, body composition, and smoking status to evaluate the association between muscle strength and physiological factors. RESULTS: Grip and leg extension strength were positively associated with bone area ratio, vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, and negatively associated with waist circumference and percentage body fat mass in both the sexes. Diastolic blood pressure was positively associated with grip strength in both the sexes and leg extension strength in men, but not women. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and red blood cell counts were positively associated with grip and leg extension strength in women, but not men. In both the sexes, pulse rate, total cholesterol, and uric acid were consistently associated with only leg extension strength, but not grip strength. In women, glycated hemoglobin demonstrated negative and positive associations with grip and leg extension strength, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Grip and leg extension strength demonstrated similar associations with anthropometry, pulmonary function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, but the associations with the other factors were not always consistent.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report the basic profile of the Miyagi Prefecture part of a repeated center-based survey during the second period (2nd period survey) of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Cohort Study (TMM CommCohort Study), as well as the participants' characteristics based on their participation type in the baseline survey. METHODS: The 2nd period survey, conducted from June 2017 to March 2021, included participants of the TMM CommCohort Study (May 2013 to March 2016). In addition to the questionnaire, blood, urine, and physiological function tests were performed during the 2nd period survey. There were three main ways of participation in the baseline survey: Type 1, Type 1 additional, or Type 2 survey. The 2nd period survey was conducted in the same manner as the Type 2 survey, which was based on the community support center (CSC). RESULTS: In Miyagi Prefecture, 29,383 (57.7%) of 50,967 participants participated in the 2nd period survey. The participation rate among individuals who had visited the CSC was approximately 80%. Although some factors differed depending on the participation type in the baseline survey, the 2nd period survey respondents in the Type 1 and Type 2 survey groups at baseline had similar traits. CONCLUSIONS: The 2nd period survey of the TMM CommCohort Study provided detailed follow-up information. Following up on the health conditions of the participants will clarify the long-term effects of disasters and contribute to personalized prevention.

AIMS: Although fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) have an impact on lipid metabolism, the relationship between different body composition phenotypes and lipid profiles is still unclear. By dividing the FM and FFM by the square of the height, respectively, the f at mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) can be used to determine the variations in body composition. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of combined FMI and FFMI with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. METHODS: This cross-sectional study comprised 5,116 men and 13,630 women without cardiovascular disease and without treatment for hypertension, and diabetes. Following sex-specific quartile classification, FMI and FFMI were combined into 16 groups. Elevated LDL-C levels were defined as LDL-C ≥ 140 mg/dL and/or dyslipidemia treatment. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the relationships between combined FMI and FFMI and elevated LDL-C levels. RESULTS: Overall, elevated LDL-C levels were found in 1,538 (30.1%) men and 5,434 (39.9%) women. In all FFMI subgroups, a higher FMI was associated with elevated LDL-C levels. Conversely, FFMI was inversely associated with elevated LDL-C levels in most FMI subgroups. Furthermore, the groups with the highest FMI and lowest FFMI had higher odds ratios for elevated LDL-C levels than those with the lowest FMI and highest FFMI. CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of FFMI, FMI was positively associated with elevated LDL-C levels. Conversely, in the majority of FMI subgroups, FFMI was inversely associated with elevated LDL-C levels.

Masked hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, masked hypertension is sometimes overlooked owing to the requirement for home blood pressure measurements for diagnosing. Mental status influences blood pressure. To reduce undiagnosed masked hypertension, this study assessed the association between depressive symptoms and masked hypertension. This cross-sectional study used data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Community-Based Cohort Study (conducted in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, from 2013) and included participants with normotension measured at the research center (systolic blood pressure<140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mmHg). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Japanese version). Masked hypertension was defined as normotension measured at the research center and home hypertension (home systolic blood pressure ≥135 mmHg or home diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg). The study comprised 6705 participants (mean age: 55.7 ± 13.7 years). Of these participants, 1106 (22.1%) without depressive symptoms and 393 (23.2%) with depressive symptoms were categorized to have masked hypertension. Sex-specific and age-adjusted least mean squares for home blood pressure, not for research blood pressure were significantly higher in the group with depressive symptoms in both sex categories. The multivariate odds ratio for masked hypertension in the patients with depressive symptoms was 1.72 (95% confidence interval: 1.26-2.34) in male participants and 1.30 (95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.59) in female ones. Depressive symptoms were associated with masked hypertension in individuals with normotension measured at the research center. Depressive symptoms may be one of the risk factors for masked hypertension. Depressive symptoms were associated with masked hypertension in individuals with normotension measured at research center.

PURPOSE: To determine whether non-invasive measurements of the nailfold capillaries (NCs) are associated with the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Eighty-three eyes of 83 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled. Sixty-three age-matched non-diabetic subjects served as controls. Diabetic patients were classified by the severity of their DR: non-DR (NDR), non-proliferative DR (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR). We used nailfold capillaroscopy to measure NC parameters, including number, length, width, and turbidity. RESULTS: Four NC parameters in the diabetic patients were significantly lower than in the controls (all P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant decrease in the NC parameters along with the increasing severity of DR (number: P = 0.02; all others: P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that combining the systemic characteristics of age, sex, systolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin A1c level, and history of hypertension and dyslipidemia could indicate the presence of DR and PDR (the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.81, P = 0.006; AUC = 0.87, P = 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, the discriminative power of DR was significantly improved (P = 0.03) by adding NC length to the systemic findings (AUC = 0.89, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: NC measurement is a simple and non-invasive way to assess the risk of DR and its severity.

Abstract This study aimed to examine whether risk of withdrawal from HTTx was higher in coastal areas that were severely damaged by tsunami than in inland areas. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 9218 participants aged ≥20 years in Miyagi, Japan. The odds ratios (ORs) and confidence interval (CI) for withdrawal from HTTx in coastal and inland groups were compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis, adjusting for potential confounders. In total, 194 of 5860 and 146 of 3358 participants in the inland and coastal groups, respectively, withdrew from HTTx treatment. OR (95%CI) of withdrawal from HTTx in the coastal group was 1.46 (1.14–1.86) compared to the inland group. According to housing damage, ORs (95% CI) in the no damage, partially destroyed, and more than half destroyed coastal groups compared with the no damage inland group were 1.62 (1.04–2.50), 1.69 (1.17–2.45), and 1.08 (0.71–1.65), respectively. In conclusion, the risk of HTTx withdrawal for participants whose homes in coastal areas were relatively less damaged was significantly higher compared with those in inland areas, while the risk of HTTx withdrawal for participants whose homes were more than half destroyed was not. Post-disaster administrative support for disaster victims is considered vital for continuation of their treatment.

AIM: The influence of family history of diabetes, probably reflecting genetic and lifestyle factors, on the association of combined genetic and lifestyle risks with diabetes is unknown. We examined these associations. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 9,681 participants in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study. A lifestyle score, which was categorized into ideal, intermediate, and poor lifestyles, was given. Family history was obtained through a self-reported questionnaire. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed in the target data (n=1,936) using publicly available genome-wide association study summary statistics from BioBank Japan. For test data (n=7,745), we evaluated PRS performance and examined the associations of combined family history and genetic and lifestyle risks with diabetes. Diabetes was defined as non-fasting blood glucose ≥ 200 mmHg, HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, and/or self-reported diabetes treatment. RESULTS: In test data, 467 (6.0%) participants had diabetes. Compared with a low genetic risk and an ideal lifestyle without a family history, the odds ratio (OR) was 3.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.92-7.00) for a lower genetic risk and a poor lifestyle without a family history. Family history was significantly associated with diabetes (OR, 3.58 [95% CI, 1.73-6.98]), even in those with a low genetic risk and an ideal lifestyle. Even among participants who had an ideal lifestyle without a family history, a high genetic risk was associated with diabetes (OR, 2.49 [95% CI, 1.65-3.85]). Adding PRS to family history and conventional lifestyle risk factors improved the prediction ability for diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the notion that a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent diabetes regardless of genetic risk.

BACKGROUND: Olfactory function decline has recently been reported to be associated with a risk of cognitive impairment. Few population-based studies have included younger adults when examining the association between olfactory test data with multiple odor intensities and suspected cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association between high-resolution olfactory test data with fewer odors and suspected cognitive impairments. We also examined the differences between older and younger adults in this association. METHODS: The Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) was administered to 1,450 participants, with three odor-intensity-level olfactometry using six different odors. Logistic regressions to discriminate suspected cognitive impairment were conducted to examine the association, adjusted for age, sex, education duration, and smoking history. Data were collected from the Program by Tohoku University Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, with an additional olfactory test conducted between 2019 and 2021. RESULTS: We generally observed that the lower the limit of distinguishable odor intensity was, the higher the MoCA-J score was. The combination of spearmint and stuffy socks contributed most to the distinction between suspected and unsuspected cognitive impairment. Furthermore, the association was significant in women aged 60-74 years (adjusted odds ratio 0.881, 95% confidence interval [0.790, 0.983], p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate an association between the limit of distinguishable odor intensity and cognitive function. The olfactory test with multiple odor intensity levels using fewer odors may be applicable for the early detection of mild cognitive impairment, especially in older women aged 60-74 years.

BACKGROUND: Birth weight, as a measure of intrauterine growth, is commonly used in epidemiological studies and is reported to be associated with adult lung function. However, findings regarding this association in previous studies have been inconsistent. Furthermore, no studies have reported associations stratified by age or smoking status, or adjusted for eosinophil count or other parameters related to type 2 airway inflammation. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 2632 men and 7237 women aged ≥20 years living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Lung function was assessed based on spirometry. Birth weight data were obtained through a questionnaire survey. Analysis of covariance was used to evaluate the associations between birth weight and lung function, adjusting for potential confounders. Stratified analyses by age and smoking status were also conducted, together with a sub-analysis for low birth-weight participants. RESULTS: Birth weight was positively associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) for both sexes and with vital capacity in women, after adjusting for height, age, smoking status, and parameters related to type 2 airway inflammation. The stratified analysis for smoking status revealed associations in never-smokers and ex-smokers. When stratified by age, the associations were confirmed in middle-aged participants. The effect of smoking status on the FEV1 of low birth-weight participants was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis of a large, Japanese adult population showed that birth weight was independently and positively associated with adult lung function, even after adjustment for age, height, smoking status, and parameters related to type 2 airway inflammation.

AIM: People with high normal blood pressure (BP) have a higher risk of cardiovascular events than those with normal BP; therefore, progression to hypertension (HT) should be prevented. We aimed to assess the HT risk using central BP and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in people with high normal BP. METHODS: This prospective cohort study used the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Project Cohort Study (conducted from 2013 in Miyagi Prefecture in Japan). The participants had a high normal BP, defined as a systolic BP of 120-139 mmHg and diastolic BP ＜90 mmHg using brachial BP measurement during the baseline survey. The outcome was new-onset HT during the secondary survey, conducted four years after the baseline survey. RESULTS: Overall, 4,021 participants with high normal BP during the baseline survey, with an average age of 58.7 years, were included; 1,030 (26%) were diagnosed with new-onset HT during the secondary survey, 3.5± 0.7 years after the baseline survey. The multivariable odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for HT in the highest versus lowest quartile of central BP was 1.7 (1.2-2.4, p=0.0030), and that of CIMT was 1.8 (1.4-2.4, p＜0.001). Subgroup analysis according to age (＜60 and ≥ 60 years) and sex revealed that the central BP was influential in groups with younger age and female individuals; CIMT was influential in all groups. CONCLUSIONS: Higher central BP and thicker CIMT at the baseline were correlated with new-onset HT in individuals with high normal BP, independent of brachial systolic BP and other cardiovascular risk factors.

PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence, associated factors, and inter-eye differences of myopia and astigmatism in an adult Japanese population-based cohort. METHODS: A total of 4282 participants from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization Eye Study (ToMMo Eye Study) underwent comprehensive ocular examinations as well as extensive physiological tests and a lifestyle questionnaire. The spherical equivalent (SE) and cylinder power were obtained as refractive parameters. The age- and gender-stratified prevalences of high myopia (SE < -5D), myopia (SE < -0.5D), hyperopia (SE > 0.5D), astigmatism (cylinder power < -0.5D), and anisometropia (SE difference >1D) were calculated. Multivariable analyses were performed to identify associated factors for refractive error (RE). Distribution and associated factors of the inter-eye difference in RE were also investigated. RESULTS: The age-adjusted prevalence of high myopia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia was 15.9%, 63.5%, 14.7%, 51.1%, and 14.7%, respectively. Both myopia and high myopia were more prevalent in the younger age group, while astigmatism was more prevalent in the older age group. Age, education, blood pressure, intraocular pressure, and corneal thickness are significantly associated with myopic refraction. Age, gender, intraocular pressure, and corneal thickness are correlated with astigmatism. Older age was associated with against-the-rule astigmatism. Older age, myopia, and longer education showed a significant correlation with large inter-eye differences in SERE. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the high prevalence of myopia in young Japanese, which may be caused by a generational shift. This study also confirmed the influence of age and education on both the prevalence and inter-eye differences of RE.

BACKGROUND: Although fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) affect lung function, FMI and FFMI are not independent of each other since FMI and FFMI were calculated as fat mass and fat-free mass divided by height squared, respectively. We aimed to examine the association of combined FMI and FFMI with lung function. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, lung function was evaluated using forced expiratory volume at 1 s and forced vital capacity was measured using spirometry. Both FMI and FFMI were classified into sex-specific quartiles (16 groups). Analysis of covariance was used to assess the associations of combined FMI and FFMI with lung function. The trend test was conducted by stratifying the FMI and FFMI, scoring the categories from 1-4 (lowest-highest), and entering the number as a continuous term in the regression model. RESULTS: This study included 3,736 men and 8,821 women aged ≥20 years living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The mean FEV1 (standard deviation) was 3.0 (0.7) L for men and 2.3 (0.5) L for women. The mean FVC was 3.8 (0.7) L for men and 2.8 (0.5) L for women. The FMI was inversely associated with lung function among all FFMI subgroups in both sexes. Conversely, FFMI was positively associated with lung function in all FMI subgroups in both sexes. CONCLUSIONS: Higher FMI was associated with lower lung function independent of FFMI; higher FFMI was associated with higher lung function independent of FMI. Reducing FMI and maintaining FFMI might be important for respiratory health.

AIM: We examined the association between the carotid intima medica thickness (cIMT) and risk factors for atherosclerosis based on the Japan Atherosclerosis Society 2022 Atherosclerosis Prevention Guideline. METHODS: Using data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study, we performed a cross-sectional study that enrolled 13,366 participants (age ≥ 20 years) with an analysis of covariance to assess associations between cIMT and risk factors for atherosclerosis. The maximum common carotid artery was measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound. Analysis was conducted in the model adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, drinking status, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and height. RESULTS: In this study cohort, the average age and cIMT were 57.3 (13.8) years and 0.61 (0.13) mm, respectively, which included 3,988 males (29.8%). Males had a higher cIMT than did the females. Age, height, BMI, SBP, HbA1c, and non-HDL-C were positively associated with cIMT. HDL-C was inversely associated with cIMT. Compared with never drinkers, current drinkers (≥ 46.0 g/day) had a significantly decreased cIMT. CONCLUSIONS: The cIMT was associated with atherosclerosis risk factors including age, sex, BMI, SBP, HbA1c, non-HDL-C, and HDL-C, and adequate control of risks in high-risk individuals might be required to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

BACKGROUND: Although several studies have shown an inverse association between lung function and hypertension, few studies have examined the association between lung function and hypertension among never-smokers, and no study has investigated the association between lung function and home hypertension. We investigated the associations between lung function and hypertension in a Japanese population. INDIVIDUALS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3728 men and 8795 women aged 20 years or older living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Lung function was assessed using forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), measured by spirometry. Hypertension was defined as a casual blood pressure at least 140/90 mmHg and/or self-reported treatment for hypertension. Home hypertension was defined as morning home blood pressure at least 135/85 mmHg and/or self-reported treatment for hypertension. Multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders were used to assess the association between lung function and hypertension. RESULTS: The mean ages (±SD) of men and women were 60.1 (±14.0) years and 56.2 (±13.4) years, respectively, and 1994 (53.5%) men and 2992 (34.0%) women had hypertension. In the multivariable models, FEV1 and FVC were inversely associated with hypertension. Inverse associations between lung function and hypertension were observed even among never-smokers. Furthermore, reduced lung function was associated with higher prevalence of home hypertension in men and women. CONCLUSION: Reduced lung function was associated with higher prevalence of hypertension, independent of smoking status. Assessment of the lung function or blood pressure may be required in individuals with reduced lung function or hypertension.

INTRODUCTION: Perinatal women tend to have difficulties with sleep along with autonomic characteristics. This study aimed to identify a machine learning algorithm capable of achieving high accuracy in predicting sleep-wake conditions and differentiating between the wake conditions before and after sleep during pregnancy based on heart rate variability (HRV). METHODS: Nine HRV indicators (features) and sleep-wake conditions of 154 pregnant women were measured for 1 week, from the 23rd to the 32nd weeks of pregnancy. Ten machine learning and three deep learning methods were applied to predict three types of sleep-wake conditions (wake, shallow sleep, and deep sleep). In addition, the prediction of four conditions, in which the wake conditions before and after sleep were differentiated-shallow sleep, deep sleep, and the two types of wake conditions-was also tested. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In the test for predicting three types of sleep-wake conditions, most of the algorithms, except for Naïve Bayes, showed higher areas under the curve (AUCs; 0.82-0.88) and accuracy (0.78-0.81). The test using four types of sleep-wake conditions with differentiation between the wake conditions before and after sleep also resulted in successful prediction by the gated recurrent unit with the highest AUC (0.86) and accuracy (0.79). Among the nine features, seven made major contributions to predicting sleep-wake conditions. Among the seven features, "the number of interval differences of successive RR intervals greater than 50 ms (NN50)" and "the proportion dividing NN50 by the total number of RR intervals (pNN50)" were useful to predict sleep-wake conditions unique to pregnancy. These findings suggest alterations in the vagal tone system specific to pregnancy.

AIM: Impaired lung function is associated with atherosclerotic vascular events. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. However, few studies have examined the association between lung function and cIMT among never smokers or individuals stratified by age. We investigated the association between lung function and cIMT in the Japanese population. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3,716 men and 8,765 women aged 20 years or older living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Lung function was evaluated using forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) was measured using spirometry. The maximum common carotid artery was measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound. An analysis of covariance was used to assess associations between lung function and cIMT and adjusted for potential confounders. A linear trend test was conducted by scoring the categories from 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest) and entering the score as a continuous term in the regression model. RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders including passive smoking, lower FEV1 and FVC were associated with higher cIMT in both men and women (P＜0.001 for linear trend). This association was confirmed even when we restricted our study to never smokers. Furthermore, even when we stratified by age, an inverse association between lung function and cIMT was confirmed in middle-aged (40-64 years) and elderly participants (65-74 years). CONCLUSIONS: Lower lung function was associated with higher cIMT in the Japanese population independent of age and smoking. Assessment of atherosclerosis or lung function may be required for individuals with lower lung function or atherosclerosis.

Disorders of sex development (DSD) comprises a congenital condition in which chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex development is atypical. In this study, we screened for pathogenic variants in 32 genes associated with DSDs and central causes of hypogonadism (CHG) in a whole-genome reference panel including 8380 Japanese individuals constructed by Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization. Candidate pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) variants were extracted from the ClinVar, InterVar, and Human Gene Mutation databases. Ninety-one candidate pathological variants were found in 25 genes; 28 novel candidate variants were identified. Nearly 1 in 40 (either ClinVar or InterVar P or LP) to 157 (both ClinVar and InterVar P or LP) individuals were found to be carriers of recessive DSD and CHG alleles. In these data, genes implicated in gonadal dysfunction did not show loss-of-function variants, with a relatively high tendency of intolerance for haploinsufficiency based on pLI and Episcore, both of which can be used for estimating haploinsufficiency. We report the types and frequencies of causative variants for DSD and CHG in the general Japanese population. This study furthers our understanding of the genetic causes and helps to refine genetic counseling of DSD and CHG.

BACKGROUND: Recent advances in human genome research have provided evidence for genotype-phenotype associations, pathogenicity, and clinical actionability of variants and genomic risk prediction of disease. However, the return of individual genomic results to healthy individuals is fraught with ethical and practical complexity. METHODS: Individual genomic results were returned to BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant (PV) carriers of the Tohoku Medical Megabank cohort study participants with an information on hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). One hundred and eighty participants, including 9 BRCA1/2 PV carriers, were asked about their willingness to receive individual genomic results, without revealing the gene name and related disorders, prior to the study. Of the 142 participants who responded, 103 showed willingness to know their genomic information. Each of the six BRCA1/2 PV carriers who consented to participate in the study received information about HBOC in person and underwent validation testing with blood resampling. RESULTS: All participants were in their 60s or 70s; of the four females and two males, two had a history of breast cancer and five had a family history of HBOC-related cancers. All participants appreciated the information, without remarkable negative psychological impact of the return, and intended to undergo clinical risk surveillance. Five participants were accompanied by family members while receiving the results, and three first-degree female relatives wished to undergo genomic testing at the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that returning actionable genomic information to participants in a population-based genome cohort study is beneficial for preventing or providing early-stage intervention for associated diseases.

AIM: Although many epidemiological studies have shown that obesity assessed by body mass index is associated with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), few studies have evaluated fat-free mass, which is a component of body composition. We investigated the associations between the combined fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) with cIMT. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3,873 men and 9,112 women aged 20 years or older who lived in Miyagi prefecture, Japan. The FMI and FFMI were calculated as fat mass and fat-free mass divided by height squared, respectively. The indices were classified into sex-specific quartiles and were combined into 16 groups. The maximum common carotid artery was measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound. An analysis of covariance was used to assess associations between the combined FMI and FFMI with cIMT adjusted for age and smoking status. The linear trend test was conducted by stratifying the FMI and FFMI, scoring the categories from 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest), and entering the number as a continuous term in the regression model. RESULTS: In multivariable models, a higher FMI was not related to higher cIMT in men and women in most FFMI subgroups. Conversely, a higher FFMI was related to higher cIMT in all FMI subgroups (p＜0.001 for linear trend). CONCLUSIONS: FMI was not associated with cIMT in most FFMI subgroups. Conversely, FFMI was positively associated with cIMT independently of FMI.

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Fat mass and fat-free mass affect glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and blood glucose levels, respectively. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the fat mass index and fat-free mass index with HbA1c. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out a cross-sectional study that included 3,731 men and 9,191 women aged ≥20 years, living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, who were not treated for diabetes. The fat mass index and fat-free mass index were calculated as fat mass and fat-free mass divided by the height squared, respectively. The indices were classified into sex-specific quartiles and combined into 16 groups. An analysis of covariance was used to assess associations between the combined fat mass index and fat-free mass index with HbA1c adjusted for potential confounders. The linear trend test was carried out by stratifying the fat mass index and fat-free mass index, entering the number as a continuous term in the regression model. RESULTS: In multivariable models, a higher fat mass index was related to higher HbA1c levels in men and women in all fat-free mass index subgroups (P < 0.001 for linear trend). When we excluded the participants who had been identified as having diabetes, the fat-free mass index was also related to higher HbA1c levels in most fat mass index subgroups (P < 0.05 for linear trend). CONCLUSIONS: Fat mass index was positively related to HbA1c levels. The fat-free mass index was also related to HbA1c levels when we excluded participants who had been identified as having have diabetes.

Introduction: Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing results provide valuable information on drug selection and appropriate dosing, maximization of efficacy, and minimization of adverse effects. Although the number of large-scale, next-generation-sequencing-based PGx studies has recently increased, little is known about the risks and benefits of returning PGx results to ostensibly healthy individuals in research settings. Methods: Single-nucleotide variants of three actionable PGx genes, namely, MT-RNR1, CYP2C19, and NUDT15, were returned to 161 participants in a population-based Tohoku Medical Megabank project. Informed consent was obtained from the participants after a seminar on the outline of this study. The results were sent by mail alongside sealed information letter intended for clinicians. As an exception, genetic counseling was performed for the MT-RNR1 m.1555A > G variant carriers by a medical geneticist, and consultation with an otolaryngologist was encouraged. Questionnaire surveys (QSs) were conducted five times to evaluate the participants' understanding of the topic, psychological impact, and attitude toward the study. Results: Whereas the majority of participants were unfamiliar with the term PGx, and none had undergone PGx testing before the study, more than 80% of the participants felt that they could acquire basic PGx knowledge sufficient to understand their genomic results and were satisfied with their potential benefit and use in future prescriptions. On the other hand, some felt that the PGx concepts or terminology was difficult to fully understand and suggested that in-person return of the results was desirable. Conclusions: These results collectively suggest possible benefits of returning preemptive PGx information to ostensibly healthy cohort participants in a research setting.

To reveal gene-environment interactions underlying common diseases and estimate the risk for common diseases, the Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) project has conducted prospective cohort studies and genomic and multiomics analyses. To establish an integrated biobank, we developed an integrated database called "dbTMM" that incorporates both the individual cohort/clinical data and the genome/multiomics data of 157,191 participants in the Tohoku Medical Megabank project. To our knowledge, dbTMM is the first database to store individual whole-genome data on a variant-by-variant basis as well as cohort/clinical data for over one hundred thousand participants in a prospective cohort study. dbTMM enables us to stratify our cohort by both genome-wide genetic factors and environmental factors, and it provides a research and development platform that enables prospective analysis of large-scale data from genome cohorts.

<title>Abstract</title>Lung function reflects the ability of the respiratory system and is utilized for the assessment of respiratory diseases. Because type 2 airway inflammation influences lung function, genome wide association studies (GWAS) for lung function would be improved by adjustment with an indicator of the inflammation. Here, we performed a GWAS for lung function with adjustment for exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels in two independent Japanese populations. Our GWAS with genotype imputations revealed that the <italic>RNF5/AGER</italic> locus including <italic>AGER</italic> rs2070600 SNP, which introduces a G82S substitution of AGER, was the most significantly associated with FEV₁/FVC. Three other rare missense variants of AGER were further identified. We also found genetic loci with three candidate genes (<italic>NOS2, SPSB2</italic> and <italic>RIPOR2</italic>) associated with FeNO levels. Analyses with the BioBank-Japan GWAS resource revealed genetic links of FeNO and asthma-related traits, and existence of common genetic background for allergic diseases and their biomarkers. Our study identified the genetic locus most strongly associated with airway obstruction in the Japanese population and three genetic loci associated with FeNO, an indicator of type 2 airway inflammation in adults.

BACKGROUND: A higher body fat percentage is associated with hypertension, even in non-obese individuals. The difference in body composition may be related to hypertension. The fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) are proposed indicators of body composition. This study aimed to examine the relationship of a combination of FMI and FFMI with hypertension. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 5,058 men and 11,842 women aged ≥ 20 years in the Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan. The FMI and FFMI were calculated as the fat mass and fat-free mass divided by the height squared, respectively. The indices were classified into quartiles and combined into 16 groups. Hypertension was defined as casual blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg and/or self-reported treatment for hypertension. Multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for potential confounders, were used to assess the relationship of a combination of FMI and FFMI with hypertension. RESULTS: Higher FMI was associated with hypertension in most of the FFMI subgroups. Similarly, a higher FFMI was associated with hypertension in most of FMI subgroups. For men, the association between FFMI and hypertension in the lowest FMI group was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Reducing the FMI and FFMI may be important in preventing hypertension. For men, the relationship between the FFMI and hypertension in the lowest FMI group might be weak.

The histologic differences in Schlemm's canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork (TM), obtained from the trabeculectomy specimens of different age-group glaucoma patients, were compared. This study involved 44 trabeculectomy specimens of 37 juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) patients (Group A) and 24 trabeculectomy specimens of 24 elderly-onset primary OAG (POAG) patients (age range: 70-79 years, Group B) with no familial history of POAG. Clinical parameters of gender, maximum intraocular pressure (IOP), and the number of glaucoma medications used prior to trabeculectomy were investigated and compared between the two groups. From light microscopy photographs of hematoxylin-eosin, and immunohistochemical staining of markers for SC endothelium (SCE), the total SC length (TSC), comprised of the opened-SC length (OSC) and the closed-SC length (CSC), the percentage of CSC in TSC (%CSC), the percentage of positive SCE marker in CSC (%PinCSC), and the percentage of negative SCE marker in OSC (%NinOSC) were analyzed. Moreover, podoplanin staining patterns in the TM were investigated and compared between the two groups. Among the clinical parameters, the mean maximum IOP in Group A (33.41 ± 9.24 mmHg) was the only significant parameter when compared to that in Group B (22.96 ± 7.17 mmHg, P = 0.000003). TSC in Group A was significantly shorter than that in Group B (P = 0.00092), and %CSC (P = 0.00004) and %PinCSC (P = 0.00342) in Group B were significantly higher than those in Group A. No statistically significant difference in %NinOSC was found between Group A and Group B (P = 0.76060). Juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT) in Group A showed compact and weak staining with podoplanin, while the JCT and closed-SC area in Group B showed intense staining. In the Group A subjects, TSC (P = 0.04819) and OSC (P = 0.02867) were significantly shorter in the non-familial cases than in the familial cases. Platelet coagulations 10-37 μm in size at the defect of the SCE in the inner wall of the SC were observed in 8 eyes (18%) and 4 eyes (17%) in Group A and Group B, respectively. The platelets appeared to repair the SCE damage for maintaining the blood aqueous barrier in both groups of POAG eyes. Smaller SC diameters and accompanying TM abnormality were features observed in the young-onset JOAG patients, thus suggesting developmental abnormalities in the outflow routes. The collapse of SC lumen, presumably due to aging, was the feature observed in the elderly-onset POAG patients. In Group A, the significantly higher IOP, despite of no significant number of topical medications used prior to trabeculectomy, also suggested that JOAG eyes can be categorized as a distinct type of POAG from the eyes of elder-aged POAG patients. The SCE drop out observed in the glaucomatous eyes of the different age groups suggested that worsening of IOP control may possibly occur equally in both groups.

Certain large genome cohort studies attempt to return the individual genomic results to the participants; however, the implementation process and psychosocial impacts remain largely unknown. The Tohoku Medical Megabank Project has conducted large genome cohort studies of general residents. To implement the disclosure of individual genomic results, we extracted the potential challenges and obstacles. Major challenges include the determination of genes/disorders based on the current medical system in Japan, the storage of results, prevention of misunderstanding, and collaboration of medical professionals. To overcome these challenges, we plan to conduct multilayer pilot studies, which deal with different disorders/genes. We finally chose familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) as a target disease for the first pilot study. Of the 665 eligible candidates, 33.5% were interested in the pilot study and provided consent after an educational "genetics workshop" on the basic genetics and medical facts of FH. The genetics professionals disclosed the results to the participants. All positive participants were referred to medical care, and a serial questionnaire revealed no significant psychosocial distress after the disclosure. Return of genomic results to research participants was implemented using a well-prepared protocol. To further elucidate the impact of different disorders, we will perform multilayer pilot studies with different disorders, including actionable pharmacogenomics and hereditary tumor syndromes.

<title>Abstract</title> Ethnic-specific SNP arrays are becoming more important to increase the power of genome-wide association studies in diverse population. In the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, we have been developing a series of Japonica Arrays (JPA) for genotyping participants based on reference panels constructed from whole-genome sequence data of the Japanese population. Here, we designed a novel version of the SNP array for the Japanese population, called Japonica Array NEO (JPA NEO), comprising a total of 666,883 markers. Among them, 654,246 tag SNPs of autosomes and X chromosome were selected from an expanded reference panel of 3,552 Japanese, 3.5KJPNv2, using pairwise r2 of linkage disequilibrium measures. Additionally, 28,298 markers were included for the evaluation of previously identified disease risk markers from the literature and databases, and those present in the Japanese population were extracted using the reference panel. Through genotyping 286 Japanese samples, we found that the imputation quality r2 and INFO score in the minor allele frequency bin &gt;2.5–5% were &gt;0.9 and &gt;0.8, respectively, and &gt;12 million markers were imputed with an INFO score &gt;0.8. From these results, JPA NEO is a promising tool for genotyping the Japanese population with genome-wide coverage, contributing to the development of genetic risk scores.

Bone dysplasias are a group of rare hereditary diseases, with up to 436 disease types. Perinatal diagnosis is clinically important for adequate personalized management and counseling. There are no reports focused on pathogenic variants of bone dysplasias in the general population. In this study, we focused on autosomal recessive bone dysplasias. We identified pathogenic variants using whole-genome reference panel data from 3552 Japanese individuals. For the first time, we were able to estimate the carrier frequencies and the proportions of potential patients. For autosomal recessive bone dysplasias, we detected 198 pathogenic variants of 54 causative genes. We estimated the variant carrier frequencies and the proportions of potential patients with variants associated with four clinically important bone dysplasias: osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), hypophosphatasia (HPP), asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia (ATD), and Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC). The proportions of potential patients with OI, ATD, and EvC based on pathogenic variants classified as "pathogenic" and "likely pathogenic" by InterVar were closer to the reported incidence rates in Japanese subjects. Furthermore, the proportions of potential patients with HPP variants classified as "pathogenic" and "likely pathogenic" in InterVar and "pathogenic" in ClinVar were closer to the reported incidence rates. For bone dysplasia, the findings of this study will provide a better understanding of the variant types and frequencies in the Japanese general population, and should be useful for clinical diagnosis, genetic counseling, and personalized medicine.

BACKGROUND: We established a community-based cohort study to assess the long-term impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on disaster victims and gene-environment interactions on the incidence of major diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. METHODS: We asked participants to join our cohort in the health check-up settings and assessment center based settings. Inclusion criteria were aged 20 years or over and living in Miyagi or Iwate Prefecture. We obtained information on lifestyle, effect of disaster, blood, and urine information (Type 1 survey), and some detailed measurements (Type 2 survey), such as carotid echography and calcaneal ultrasound bone mineral density. All participants agreed to measure genome information and to distribute their information widely. RESULTS: As a result, 87,865 gave their informed consent to join our study. Participation rate at health check-up site was about 70%. The participants in the Type 1 survey were more likely to have psychological distress than those in the Type 2 survey, and women were more likely to have psychological distress than men. Additionally, coastal residents were more likely to have higher degrees of psychological distress than inland residents, regardless of sex. CONCLUSION: This cohort comprised a large sample size and it contains information on the natural disaster, genome information, and metabolome information. This cohort also had several detailed measurements. Using this cohort enabled us to clarify the long-term effect of the disaster and also to establish personalized prevention based on genome, metabolome, and other omics information.

In this study, the extent to which different emotions of pregnant women can be predicted based on heart rate-relevant information as indicators of autonomic nervous system functioning was explored using various machine learning algorithms. Nine heart rate-relevant autonomic system indicators, including the coefficient of variation R-R interval (CVRR), standard deviation of all NN intervals (SDNN), and square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals (RMSSD), were measured using a heart rate monitor (MyBeat) and four different emotions including "happy," as a positive emotion and "anxiety," "sad," "frustrated," as negative emotions were self-recorded on a smartphone application, during 1 week starting from 23rd to 32nd weeks of pregnancy from 85 pregnant women. The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), naïve bayes (NB), decision tree (DT), gradient boosting trees (GBT), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and artificial neural network (ANN) machine learning methods were applied to predict the four different emotions based on the heart rate-relevant information. To predict four different emotions, RF also showed a modest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.70. CVRR, RMSSD, SDNN, high frequency (HF), and low frequency (LF) mostly contributed to the predictions. GBT displayed the second highest AUC (0.69). Comprehensive analyses revealed the benefits of the prediction accuracy of the RF and GBT methods and were beneficial to establish models to predict emotions based on autonomic nervous system indicators. The results implicated SDNN, RMSSD, CVRR, LF, and HF as important parameters for the predictions.

Identification of the population frequencies of definitely pathogenic germline variants in two major hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) genes, BRCA1/2, is essential to estimate the number of HBOC patients. In addition, the identification of moderately penetrant HBOC gene variants that contribute to increasing the risk of breast and ovarian cancers in a population is critical to establish personalized health care. A prospective cohort subjected to genome analysis can provide both sets of information. Computational scoring and prospective cohort studies may help to identify such likely pathogenic variants in the general population. We annotated the variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes from a dataset of 3,552 whole-genome sequences obtained from members of a prospective cohorts with genome data in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project (TMM) with InterVar software. Computational impact scores (CADD_phred and Eigen_raw) and minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of pathogenic (P) and likely pathogenic (LP) variants in ClinVar were used for filtration criteria. Familial predispositions to cancers among the 35,000 TMM genome cohort participants were analyzed to verify the identified pathogenicity. Seven potentially pathogenic variants were newly identified. The sisters of carriers of these moderately deleterious variants and definite P and LP variants among members of the TMM prospective cohort showed a statistically significant preponderance for cancer onset, from the self-reported cancer history. Filtering by computational scoring and MAF is useful to identify potentially pathogenic variants in BRCA genes in the Japanese population. These results should help to follow up the carriers of variants of uncertain significance in the HBOC genes in the longitudinal prospective cohort study.

Previous studies have indicated associations between several OLIG2 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to schizophrenia among Caucasians. Consistent with these findings, postmortem brain and diffusion tensor imaging studies have indicated that the schizophrenia-risk-associated allele (A) in the OLIG2 SNP rs1059004 predicts lower OLIG2 gene expression in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of schizophrenia patients and reduced white matter (WM) integrity of the corona radiata in normal brains among Caucasians. In an effort to replicate the association between this variant and WM integrity among healthy Japanese, we found that the number of A alleles was positively correlated with WM integrity in some fiber tracts, including the right posterior limb of the internal capsule, and with mean blood flow in a widespread area, including the inferior frontal operculum, orbital area, and triangular gyrus. Because the A allele affected WM integrity in opposite directions in Japanese and Caucasians, we investigated a possible association between the OLIG2 gene SNPs and the expression level of OLIG2 transcripts in postmortem DLPFCs. We evaluated rs1059004 and additional SNPs in the 5' upstream and 3' downstream regions of rs1059004 to cover the broader region of the OLIG2 gene. The 2 SNPs (rs1059004 and rs9653711) had opposite effects on OLIG2 gene expression in the DLPFC in Japanese and Caucasians. These findings suggest ethnicity-dependent opposite effects of OLIG2 gene SNPs on WM integrity and OLIG2 gene expression in the brain, which may partially explain the failures in replicating associations between genetic variants and psychiatric phenotypes among ethnicities.

We performed a metabolome genome-wide association study for the Japanese population in the prospective cohort study of Tohoku Medical Megabank. By combining whole-genome sequencing and nontarget metabolome analyses, we identified a large number of novel associations between genetic variants and plasma metabolites. Of the identified metabolite-associated genes, approximately half have already been shown to be involved in various diseases. We identified metabolite-associated genes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics, some of which are from intestinal microorganisms, indicating that the identified genetic variants also markedly influence the interaction between the host and symbiotic bacteria. We also identified five associations that appeared to be female-specific. A number of rare variants that influence metabolite levels were also found, and combinations of common and rare variants influenced the metabolite levels more profoundly. These results support our contention that metabolic phenotyping provides important insights into how genetic and environmental factors provoke human diseases.

BACKGROUND: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study was launched in 2013 to evaluate the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors in multifactorial diseases. The present study describes the maternal baseline profile and perinatal data of participating mothers and infants. METHODS: Expectant mothers living in Miyagi prefecture were recruited from obstetric facilities or affiliated centers between 2013 and 2017. Three sets of self-administered questionnaires were collected, and the medical records were reviewed to obtain precise information about each antenatal visit and each delivery. Biospecimens, including blood, urine, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk, were collected for the study biobank. The baseline maternal sociodemographic characteristics, results of screening tests, and obstetric outcomes were analyzed according to the maternal age group. RESULTS: A total of 23 406 pregnancies involving 23 730 fetuses resulted in 23 143 live births. Younger maternal participants had a tendency toward a higher incidence of threatened abortion and threatened premature labor, while older age groups exhibited a significantly higher rate of low lying placenta, placenta previa, gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: The present study clearly shows the distribution of maternal baseline characteristics and the range of perinatal outcomes according to maternal age group. This cohort study can provide strategic information for creating breakthroughs in the pathophysiology of perinatal, developmental, and noncommunicable diseases by collaborative data visiting or sharing.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons. We reported that glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST) knockout mice showed progressive RGC loss and optic nerve degeneration that are similar to glaucoma. To explore the possibility that rare variants in the EAAT1 gene (the human homolog of GLAST) cause susceptibility to glaucoma, we performed targeted sequencing of EAAT1 in 440 patients with glaucoma and 450 control subjects. We identified 8 rare variants in 20 out of 440 patients, including 4 synonymous and 4 missense variants located at protein coding regions. One of these rare variants (rs117295512) showed significant association with the risk of glaucoma (OR = 10.44, P = 0.005). Furthermore, the allele frequency for loss-of-function EAAT1 variants, pAla169Gly and pAla329Thr, was 5.5 folds higher in the glaucoma (1.1%) compared with the control cohort (0.2%). These findings suggest that these rare variants may contribute to the pathogenesis of glaucoma and that loss-of-function variants in EAAT1 are present in a small number of patients with glaucoma.

<title>Abstract</title>Identification of pathogenic germline variants yet no clinical evidence in <italic>BRCA</italic> genes has become important in patient care of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). Computational scoring and prospective cohort studies may help to identify such pathogenic variants. We annotated the variants in the <italic>BRCA1</italic> and <italic>BRCA2</italic> genes from a dataset of 3,552 whole-genome sequences obtained from members of the genome cohorts by Tohoku Medical Megabank Project (TMM) with the InterVar software. Computational impact scores (CADD_phred and Eigen_raw) and minor allele frequencies (MAF) of pathogenic (P) and likely pathogenic (LP) variants in ClinVar are used for filtration criteria. Familial predispositions in cancers among the 35,000 TMM genome cohort participants are analyzed to verify the pathogenicity. Seven potentially pathogenic variants were newly identified. Carriers of these potential pathogenic variants and definite P and LP variants among participants of the TMM prospective cohort show a statistically significant preponderance in cancer onset in sisters in the self-reported cancer history. Filtering by computational scoring and MAF is useful to identify potential pathogenic variants in <italic>BRCA</italic> genes for Japanese population. These results will be helpful to follow up the carriers of variants of uncertain significance in the HBOC genes.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Japan. To identify risk loci, we perform a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies comprising 2,039 pancreatic cancer patients and 32,592 controls in the Japanese population. Here, we identify 3 (13q12.2, 13q22.1, and 16p12.3) genome-wide significant loci (P < 5.0 × 10-8), of which 16p12.3 has not been reported in the Western population. The lead single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at 16p12.3 is rs78193826 (odds ratio = 1.46, 95% confidence interval = 1.29-1.66, P = 4.28 × 10-9), an Asian-specific, nonsynonymous glycoprotein 2 (GP2) gene variant. Associations between selected GP2 gene variants and pancreatic cancer are replicated in 10,822 additional cases and controls of East Asian origin. Functional analyses using cell lines provide supporting evidence of the effect of rs78193826 on KRAS activity. These findings suggest that GP2 gene variants are probably associated with pancreatic cancer susceptibility in populations of East Asian ancestry.

In order to assess the long-term impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on the oral health of disaster victims and to evaluate gene-environmental interactions in the development of major oral diseases and oral-systemic associations, the oral part of two large-scale genome cohort studies by the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo), including the Community-based cohort (CommCohort) study and the Birth and Three-Generation cohort (BirThree) study, have been conducted. The study population comprised 32,185 subjects, including 16,886 participants in the CommCohort study and 15,299 participants in the BirThree cohort study, recruited from 2013 to 2017. The oral studies consist of a questionnaire regarding oral hygiene behavior, clinical examinations by dentists, and oral plaque and saliva sampling for microbiome analyses, which were carried out at seven community support centers in Miyagi prefecture. The median age of all participants was 55.0 years, and 66.1% of participants were women. Almost all participants reported that they brushed their teeth more than once a day. The median number of present teeth was 27.0, and the decayed, missing and filled tooth number was 16.0, with a significant difference according to age and sex. The median periodontal pocket and clinical attachment level was 2.48 mm and 4.00 mm, respectively. Periodontal parameters increased significantly according to age, except for the accumulation of dental calculus. The oral part of these extensive cross-sectional studies provides a unique and important platform for future studies on oral health and diseases that elicit through interactions with systemic diseases, lifestyles, life events and genetic backgrounds, and contributes to researches clarifying the long-term effects of disasters on oral health.

Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common gynaecologic benign tumours, but its genetic basis remains largely unknown. Six previous GWAS identified 33 genetic factors in total. Here, we performed a two-staged GWAS using 13,746 cases and 70,316 controls from the Japanese population, followed by a replication analysis using 3,483 cases and 4,795 controls. The analysis identified 9 significant loci, including a novel locus on 12q23.2 (rs17033114, P = 6.12 × 10-25 with an OR of 1.177 (1.141-1.213), LINC00485). Subgroup analysis indicated that 5 loci (3q26.2, 5p15.33, 10q24.33, 11p15.5, 13q14.11) exhibited a statistically significant effect among multiple leiomyomas, and 2 loci (3q26.2, 10q24.33) exhibited a significant effect among submucous leiomyomas. Pleiotropic analysis indicated that all 9 loci were associated with at least one proliferative disease, suggesting the role of these loci in the common neoplastic pathway. Furthermore, the risk T allele of rs2251795 (3q26.2) was associated with longer telomere length in both normal and tumour tissues. Our findings elucidated the significance of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of leiomyoma.

A baseline oral microbiome study of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (TMM) was planned to characterize the profile of the oral microbiome in the Japanese population. The study also aimed to clarify risk factors for multifactorial diseases by integrated analysis of the oral microbiome and host genome/omics information. From 2013 to 2016, we collected three types of oral biospecimens, saliva, supragingival plaque, and tongue swab, from a total of 25,101 participants who had a dental examination in TMM. In this study, we used two independent cohorts; the Community-Based Cohort and Birth and Three-Generation Cohort as discovery and validation cohorts, respectively, and we selected participants examined by a single dentist. We found through the 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing analysis of 834 participants of the Community-Based Cohort Study that there are differences in the microbial composition and community structure between saliva and plaque. The species diversities in both saliva and plaque were increased in correlation with the severity of periodontal disease. These results were nicely reproduced in the analysis of 455 participants of the Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. In addition, strong positive and negative associations of microbial taxa in both plaque and saliva with periodontitis-associated biofilm formation were detected by co-occurrence network analysis. The classes Actinobacteria and Bacilli, including oral health-associated bacterial species, showed a positive correlation in saliva. These results revealed differences in microbial composition and community structure between saliva and plaque and a correlation between microbial species and the severity of periodontal disease. We expect that the large database of the oral microbiome in the TMM biobank will help in the discovery of novel targets for the treatment and prevention of oral diseases, as well as for the discovery of therapeutic and/or preventive targets of systemic diseases.

The Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) project was established to provide creative reconstruction of the Tohoku area that suffered from a huge earthquake and ensuing tsunami (the Great East Japan Earthquake, GEJE). TMM aims to establish two large-scale genome cohorts and an integrated biobank managing biospecimen and related information. It supports community medicine by establishing next-generation medical systems through a combination of the prospective genome cohort studies with a total of 150,000 participants and genomic medicine. The strategies for genome analyses in TMM are to develop an elaborate genome reference panel by means of high-fidelity Japanese whole-genome sequence, to design custom single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays based on the reference panel, and to obtain genotype data for all the TMM cohort participants subsequently. Disease-associated genomic information and omics data, including metabolomics and microbiome analysis, provide an essential platform for precision medicine and personalized healthcare (PHC). Ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) and education are important for implementing genomic medicine. The major considerations of ELSI regarding each participant of the cohort studies are the respect for the autonomy and the protection of privacies. Moreover, developing and provide human resources not only for the TMM project but also for the social implementation of precision medicine and PHC is required. We started a pilot study of the return of genomic results for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) as a target disease. TMM aims to establish solid platforms that support precision medicine and PHC based on the genomic and omics information and environmental and lifestyle factors of the individuals, which is one of the most advanced medical care beyond the evidenced-based medicine in the near future.

Hereditary retinal degenerations (HRDs) are Mendelian diseases characterized by progressive blindness and caused by ultra-rare mutations. In a genomic screen of 331 unrelated Japanese patients, we identify a disruptive Alu insertion and a nonsense variant (p.Arg1933*) in the ciliary gene RP1, neither of which are rare alleles in Japan. p.Arg1933* is almost polymorphic (frequency = 0.6%, amongst 12,000 individuals), does not cause disease in homozygosis or heterozygosis, and yet is significantly enriched in HRD patients (frequency = 2.1%, i.e., a 3.5-fold enrichment; p-value = 9.2 × 10-5). Familial co-segregation and association analyses show that p.Arg1933* can act as a Mendelian mutation in trans with the Alu insertion, but might also associate with disease in combination with two alleles in the EYS gene in a non-Mendelian pattern of heredity. Our results suggest that rare conditions such as HRDs can be paradoxically determined by relatively common variants, following a quasi-Mendelian model linking monogenic and complex inheritance.

BACKGROUND: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignant neoplasm, and the genomic alterations underlying its pathogenesis are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To identify tumor-specific genomic alterations in EMPD. METHODS: Exome analysis was performed in specimens from three EMPD patients, and target amplicon sequencing was done for genes frequently mutated in other adenocarcinomas. RESULTS: Exome analysis revealed recurrent somatic mutations in several genes, includingTP53, PIK3CA, and ERBB2. We identified additional candidate exons by searching the COSMIC database for exons that are frequently mutated in other adenocarcinomas. We obtained 19 exons in 12 genes as candidate exons, and performed target amplicon sequencing in samples obtained from EMPD patients. New somatic mutations in the TP53 gene were identified in six EMPD patients. Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis revealed multiple chromosomal alterations in three EMPD specimens, and two specimens exhibited amplification of chromosome 12p13 and losses of 3p21-24, 7q22 and 13q12-21. CONCLUSION: Our comprehensive genetic analysis identified novel genomic alterations, and will inform treatment options for EMPD.

Incidence rates of Mendelian diseases vary among ethnic groups, and frequencies of variant types of causative genes also vary among human populations. In this study, we examined to what extent we can predict population frequencies of recessive disorders from genomic data, and explored better strategies for variant interpretation and classification. We used a whole-genome reference panel from 3552 general Japanese individuals constructed by the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo). Focusing on 32 genes for 17 congenital metabolic disorders included in newborn screening (NBS) in Japan, we identified reported and predicted pathogenic variants through variant annotation, interpretation, and multiple ways of classifications. The estimated carrier frequencies were compared with those from the Japanese NBS data based on 1,949,987 newborns from a previous study. The estimated carrier frequency based on genomic data with a recent guideline of variant interpretation for the PAH gene, in which defects cause hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) and phenylketonuria (PKU), provided a closer estimate to that by the observed incidence than the other methods. In contrast, the estimated carrier frequencies for SLC25A13, which causes citrin deficiency, were much higher compared with the incidence rate. The results varied greatly among the 11 NBS diseases with single responsible genes; the possible reasons for departures from the carrier frequencies by reported incidence rates were discussed. Of note, (1) the number of pathogenic variants increases by including additional lines of evidence, (2) common variants with mild effects also contribute to the actual frequency of patients, and (3) penetrance of each variant remains unclear.

PURPOSE: A prospective cohort study for pregnant women, the Maternity Log study, was designed to construct a time-course high-resolution reference catalogue of bioinformatic data in pregnancy and explore the associations between genomic and environmental factors and the onset of pregnancy complications, such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus and preterm labour, using continuous lifestyle monitoring combined with multiomics data on the genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and microbiome. PARTICIPANTS: Pregnant women were recruited at the timing of first routine antenatal visits at Tohoku University Hospital, Sendai, Japan, between September 2015 and November 2016. Of the eligible women who were invited, 65.4% agreed to participate, and a total of 302 women were enrolled. The inclusion criteria were age ≥20 years and the ability to access the internet using a smartphone in the Japanese language. FINDINGS TO DATE: Study participants uploaded daily general health information including quality of sleep, condition of bowel movements and the presence of nausea, pain and uterine contractions. Participants also collected physiological data, such as body weight, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature, using multiple home healthcare devices. The mean upload rate for each lifelog item was ranging from 67.4% (fetal movement) to 85.3% (physical activity), and the total number of data points was over 6 million. Biospecimens, including maternal plasma, serum, urine, saliva, dental plaque and cord blood, were collected for multiomics analysis. FUTURE PLANS: Lifelog and multiomics data will be used to construct a time-course high-resolution reference catalogue of pregnancy. The reference catalogue will allow us to discover relationships among multidimensional phenotypes and novel risk markers in pregnancy for the future personalised early prediction of pregnancy complications.

Personalized healthcare (PHC) based on an individual's genetic make-up is one of the most advanced, yet feasible, forms of medical care. The Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) Project aims to combine population genomics, medical genetics and prospective cohort studies to develop a critical infrastructure for the establishment of PHC. To date, a TMM CommCohort (adult general population) and a TMM BirThree Cohort (birth+three-generation families) have conducted recruitments and baseline surveys. Genome analyses as part of the TMM Project will aid in the development of a high-fidelity whole-genome Japanese reference panel, in designing custom single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays specific to Japanese, and in estimation of the biological significance of genetic variations through linked investigations of the cohorts. Whole-genome sequencing from >3,500 unrelated Japanese and establishment of a Japanese reference genome sequence from long-read data have been done. We next aim to obtain genotype data for all TMM cohort participants (>150,000) using our custom SNP arrays. These data will help identify disease-associated genomic signatures in the Japanese population, while genomic data from TMM BirThree Cohort participants will be used to improve the reference genome panel. Follow-up of the cohort participants will allow us to test the genetic markers and, consequently, contribute to the realization of PHC.

The first step towards realizing personalized healthcare is to catalog the genetic variations in a population. Since the dissemination of individual-level genomic information is strictly controlled, it will be useful to construct population-level allele frequency panels with easy-to-use interfaces. In the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, we sequenced nearly 4000 individuals from a Japanese population and constructed an allele frequency panel of 3552 individuals after removing related samples. The panel is called the 3.5KJPNv2. It was constructed by using a standard pipeline including the 1KGP and gnomAD algorithms to reduce technical biases and to allow comparisons to other populations. Our database is the first large-scale panel providing the frequencies of variants present on the X chromosome and on the mitochondria in the Japanese population. All the data are available on our original database at https://jmorp.megabank.tohoku.ac.jp.

In recent genome analyses, population-specific reference panels have indicated important. However, reference panels based on short-read sequencing data do not sufficiently cover long insertions. Therefore, the nature of long insertions has not been well documented. Here, we assembled a Japanese genome using single-molecule real-time sequencing data and characterized insertions found in the assembled genome. We identified 3691 insertions ranging from 100 bps to ~10,000 bps in the assembled genome relative to the international reference sequence (GRCh38). To validate and characterize these insertions, we mapped short-reads from 1070 Japanese individuals and 728 individuals from eight other populations to insertions integrated into GRCh38. With this result, we constructed JRGv1 (Japanese Reference Genome version 1) by integrating the 903 verified insertions, totaling 1,086,173 bases, shared by at least two Japanese individuals into GRCh38. We also constructed decoyJRGv1 by concatenating 3559 verified insertions, totaling 2,536,870 bases, shared by at least two Japanese individuals or by six other assemblies. This assembly improved the alignment ratio by 0.4% on average. These results demonstrate the importance of refining the reference assembly and creating a population-specific reference genome. JRGv1 and decoyJRGv1 are available at the JRG website.

BACKGROUND: Genotype imputation from single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data using a haplotype reference panel consisting of thousands of unrelated individuals from populations of interest can help to identify strongly associated variants in genome-wide association studies. The Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) project was established to support the development of precision medicine, together with the whole-genome sequencing of 1070 human genomes from individuals in the Miyagi region (Northeast Japan) and the construction of the 1070 Japanese genome reference panel (1KJPN). Here, we investigated the performance of 1KJPN for genotype imputation of Japanese samples not included in the TMM project and compared it with other population reference panels. RESULTS: We found that the 1KJPN population was more similar to other Japanese populations, Nagahama (south-central Japan) and Aki (Shikoku Island), than to East Asian populations in the 1000 Genomes Project other than JPT, suggesting that the large-scale collection (more than 1000) of Japanese genomes from the Miyagi region covered many of the genetic variations of Japanese in mainland Japan. Moreover, 1KJPN outperformed the phase 3 reference panel of the 1000 Genomes Project (1KGPp3) for Japanese samples, and IKJPN showed similar imputation rates for the TMM and other Japanese samples for SNPs with minor allele frequencies (MAFs) higher than 1%. CONCLUSIONS: 1KJPN covered most of the variants found in the samples from areas of the Japanese mainland outside the Miyagi region, implying 1KJPN is representative of the Japanese population's genomes. 1KJPN and successive reference panels are useful genome reference panels for the mainland Japanese population. Importantly, the addition of whole genome sequences not included in the 1KJPN panel improved imputation efficiencies for SNPs with MAFs under 1% for samples from most regions of the Japanese archipelago.

Population-based prospective cohort studies are indispensable for modern medical research as they provide important knowledge on the influences of many kinds of genetic and environmental factors on the cause of disease. Although traditional cohort studies are mainly conducted using questionnaires and physical examinations, modern cohort studies incorporate omics and genomic approaches to obtain comprehensive physical information, including genetic information. Here, we report the design and midterm results of multi-omics analysis on population-based prospective cohort studies from the Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) Project. We have incorporated genomic and metabolomic studies in the TMM cohort study as both metabolome and genome analyses are suitable for high-throughput analysis of large-scale cohort samples. Moreover, an association study between the metabolome and genome show that metabolites are an important intermediate phenotype connecting genetic and lifestyle factors to physical and pathologic phenotypes. We apply our metabolome and genome analyses to large-scale cohort samples in the following studies.

Clarifying allele frequencies of disease-related genetic variants in a population is important in genomic medicine; however, such data is not yet available for the Japanese population. To estimate frequencies of actionable pathogenic variants in the Japanese population, we examined the reported pathological variants in genes recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) in our reference panel of genomic variations, 2KJPN, which was created by whole-genome sequencing of 2049 individuals of the resident cohort of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project. We searched for pathogenic variants in 2KJPN for 57 autosomal ACMG-recommended genes responsible for 26 diseases and then examined their frequencies. By referring to public databases of pathogenic variations, we identified 143 reported pathogenic variants in 2KJPN for the 57 ACMG recommended genes based on a classification system. At the individual level, 21% of the individuals were found to have at least one reported pathogenic allele. We then conducted a literature survey to review the variants and to check for evidence of pathogenicity. Our results suggest that a substantial number of people have reported pathogenic alleles for the ACMG genes, and reviewing variants is indispensable for constructing the information infrastructure of genomic medicine for the Japanese population.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified greater than 30 variants associated with ovarian cancer, but most of these variants were investigated in European populations. Here, we integrated GWAS and subsequent functional analyses to identify the genetic variants with potential regulatory effects. We conducted GWAS for ovarian cancer using 681 Japanese cases and 17,492 controls and found that rs137672 on 22q13.1 exhibited a strong association with a P-value of 1.05 × 10(-7) and an odds ratio of 0.573 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.466-0.703. In addition, three previously reported SNPs, i.e., rs10088218, rs9870207 and rs1400482, were validated in the Japanese population (P < 0.05) with the same risk allele as noted in previous studies. Functional studies including regulatory feature analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) revealed two regulatory SNPs in 22q13.1, rs2072872 and rs6509, that affect the binding affinity to some nuclear proteins in ovarian cancer cells. The plausible regulatory proteins whose motifs could be affected by the allele changes of these two SNPs were also proposed. Moreover, the protective G allele of rs6509 was associated with a decreased SYNGR1 expression level in normal ovarian tissues. Our findings elucidated the regulatory variants in 22q13.1 that are associated with ovarian cancer risk.

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), a major cause of blindness worldwide, is a complex disease with a significant genetic contribution. We performed Exome Array (Illumina) analysis on 3504 POAG cases and 9746 controls with replication of the most significant findings in 9173 POAG cases and 26 780 controls across 18 collections of Asian, African and European descent. Apart from confirming strong evidence of association at CDKN2B-AS1 (rs2157719 [G], odds ratio [OR] = 0.71, P = 2.81 × 10(-33)), we observed one SNP showing significant association to POAG (CDC7-TGFBR3 rs1192415, ORG-allele = 1.13, Pmeta = 1.60 × 10(-8)). This particular SNP has previously been shown to be strongly associated with optic disc area and vertical cup-to-disc ratio, which are regarded as glaucoma-related quantitative traits. Our study now extends this by directly implicating it in POAG disease pathogenesis.

A 20-year-old woman was involved in a traffic accident while riding a motorcycle. The vision in her right eye was severely reduced. At the first examination, the eyelids of her right eye were severely swollen, and the eye could barely be seen. The fundus was not visible. She had no light perception in her vision. Computed tomography revealed a severe blow-out fracture in her right eye. Surgery was immediately performed to correct the fracture and the eye globe was replaced in the orbit. On the fourth postoperative day, the right fundus was visible and a cherry-red spot and milky-white edema were seen. Fluorescein angiography showed an arterial filling defect. Four months later, her visual acuity was light perception. Our case shows that a central retinal artery occlusion can be a complication of a blow-out fracture of the lower orbital wall and can lead to severe visual loss even with early surgical repair.

19歳男性.患者は右眼霧視を主訴に近医を受診,右網膜中心静脈閉塞の診断で著者らの施設へ紹介となった.所見では,右眼矯正視力は1.2と良好であったが,右眼底には網膜静脈の蛇行拡張と軽度の網膜出血を認め,軟性白斑も散在してみられた.視神経乳頭は発赤し,境界不鮮明で,乳頭周囲には神経線維の混濁腫脹を認めた.蛍光眼底造影では虚血性変化はみられず,静的量的視野検査にてOctopus1-2-3で右眼の閾値低下を認めた.全身検索で異常がなく,視力良好であったため,経過観察を行ったところ,約1ヵ月後に自覚症状と右眼底所見は改善し,5ヵ月後には静的量的視野所見も改善がみられた

1970年代から続く循環器疾患の検診において、眼底検査は「高血圧の臓器障害としての血管形態変化を検出する」という目的で用いられてきた。一方で、医師の眼には微細すぎて判別できないような形態変化であっても医用画像解析に大きな成果を上げつつある深層学習を用いて、眼底画像から「血圧値、ヘモグロビンA1C値、HDLコレステロール値、LDLコレステロール値、中性脂肪値、body mass index、推定糸球体濾過量喫煙習慣（現在喫煙・過去喫煙・喫煙歴なし）、運動習慣、食事習慣」の状態を推定する深層学習モデル群の試みが報告されている。そこで本研究では、眼底写真を入力に、循環器疾患危険因子を出力に据えて、「血液検査でしか得られない循環器疾患危険因子の保有状況（リスクプロファイル）を眼底画像から得ることができる。」という新たな仮説を検証すべく、深層学習モデル群の開発を進めてきた。今回、国内外の複数の大規模疫学研究のデータを用いてその精度を検証するとともに、社会実装に向けた技術的なロードブロックを乗り越えるべく実証研究を行う。具体的には国内外の大規模疫学コホート研究で既に取得されている情報を用いて、（１）眼底画像から高精度で循環器疾患リスク因子を推定する深層学習モデル作成と検証、（２）眼底カメラ機種、画像仕様に対応した一般化可能性の高い深層学習モデル作成、（３）眼底画像から循環器疾患リスク因子の経時的変化を推定する深層学習モデルの作成、を行う。

これまで多くの疫学研究によって乳癌罹患に関わるリスク因子が解明されたが、いまだ日本人女性の乳癌罹患数を減らすには至っていない。メラトニンは脳の松果体で分泌される内分泌物質で、エストロゲンを抑制することが知られており、網膜への光刺激で分泌が抑制される。以前より、電磁波や夜間の電光暴露によるメラトニン減少が乳癌の発症率を増加させているという“メラトニン仮説”が報告されている。本研究は、東北メディカル・メガバンク計画によるゲノムコホート調査から、光とメラトニン、乳癌発症に関するデータを可能なかぎり抽出して、将来的に日本人女性の光環境を変化させることで乳癌罹患数を低減できる可能性をもとに、その基盤となるデータを集積することを目的とする。ゲノムコホート調査から抽出可能なデータとして、１．OCT(Optical Coherence Tomography)による網膜所見および網膜厚、２．脳MRIによる松果体体積、３．全ゲノム解析によるメラトニン合成酵素のバリアント、４．唾液中のメラトニン定量値、５．睡眠および日中の活動性、眠剤内服の情報、があげられる。本研究では、これらのデータのうち現時点で抽出可能なものを抽出し、乳癌既往の有無の情報と突合する手法をとる。現在のところコホート調査およびそのデータ解析は計画にそって順調に進められ、データの蓄積が進んでいる。本年度は、データ構成の把握と抽出方法および解析手法についての検討を行ない、来年度以降のデータ解析の基盤を構築した。

日本人(東北地方)緑内障患者において緑内障原因遺伝子であるMYOC遺伝子、WDR36遺伝子のスクリーニングを行い、その変異の臨床像、表現型・遺伝型を正常対照と相関解析した。検体として原発開放隅角緑内障(POAG)、正常眼圧緑内障(NTG)、正常対照を用いた。MYOC遺伝子では、若年発症のAla363Thrの変異2家系、高年発症のAsn297Hisの変異を1例に認めた(MengGe M,et al.Mol Vis.2007)。WDR36遺伝子では、POAGにおいてSer664Leuの変異を認め、Ile264Val,IVS16-30A/Gの多型がPOAGの表現型と関連していることを始めて明らかにした(Miyazawa A,et al.Mol Vis.2007)。また発達緑内障先天型のAxenfeld-Rieger症候群においてFOXC1遺伝子に新規の変異Ala85Proと437-453del17を見出した(Fuse N,et al.Mol Vis.2007)。研究前において予想される結果としては,原因遺伝子がどの位の割合で日本人(東北地方)のPOAG、NTGに関与しているのかが明らかになり欧米の結果とは違う傾向を得る可能性があるというものであった。結果として、1)MYOC遺伝子異常の頻度は欧米のものとほぼ同じであるが、変異の位置が違う2)WDR36遺伝子異常は、多型の頻度が違い日本人のPOAGに関連している3)Axenfeld-Rieger症候群におけるFOXC1遺伝子の変異の位置は日本人特有である可能性がある、という新知見を得た。

我々は神経栄養因子を分泌する培養色素上皮細胞の網膜下移植は連続光照射などの視細胞傷害に対して視細胞保護効果があることを報告してきた。栄養因子分泌にはウイルスベクターを使用するのではなく、すでに日本で臨床応用されているリポゾームを使用し、遺伝子が導入された細胞のみを選択培養した。このことで一過性の神経栄養分泌ではなく永続的な分泌が得られ、長時間の培養後でも移植後に保護効果があることを報告した.網膜色素変性などの臨床経過から考えても、これらの操作を行う時間的な余裕はあり、将来の臨床応用を考えても倫理的な問題の多くをクリアできると考えられた。一方、ゴアテックス膜やコラーゲン膜は生体適合性が優れ、広く生体内に使用されている。この膜を強膜半層(かなり全層に近く)切開後に強膜下に移植できる。強膜下移植のために視細胞周囲の微細環境は移植手技などで、破壊されないですむ。今回はこの両膜に栄養因子分泌細胞を培養することを試みた。まず、コラーゲン膜は我々が開発した方法で強化すると6ヶ月以上培養しても、培地中にコラーゲン膜が溶け出すことはなく、膜はセッシで容易に把持できた。また、継時的に培養細胞の生存を確認でき目的の神経栄養因子が分泌されていることもELISAとwestern blottingで確認できた。組織学的な観察では培養細胞と異なり、細胞は膜内で立体的な構造を保っていることが判明した.ゴアテックス膜はさらに強度が高い分、細胞の膜内侵入は当初は困難であったが、さまざまな工夫を利用し、培養細胞を変更することで膜内培養が可能であった.

我々は、加齢黄斑変性に対する治療法として、新生血管抜去後に培養下で維持された自己虹彩色素上皮細胞(IPE)移植する、自己虹彩色素上皮細胞移植を臨床応用してきた。この治療法は統計学的に有意な治療効果は認められているものの、その効果は劇的なものではない。そこでさらに治療効果を高める目的で神経保護因子を移植細胞に導入し、移植する、遺伝子導入細胞移植について検討中である。本研究課題の目的は、遺伝子導入に用いるベクターの安全性とその効果、移植後の動態を把握することである。加齢黄斑変性、色素変性を対象疾患と考えた場合、目的遺伝子の長期的な発現が必要である。そこで我々はベクターとしてアデノアソシエイトウイルスを利用した。アデノアソシエイトウイルスには様々な血清型が存在することが知られている。今回、5種の血清型について、虹彩色素上皮細胞への遺伝子導入効率を比較検討した。その結果、IPEへの導入効率は、最も多く遺伝子治療に用いられている2型で良かった。しかしその効率は約20%程度であった。さらに遺伝子導入効率を高めるため、導入方法を検討した結果、ウイルス感染直前にEpidermal Growth factor(EGF)レセプターのインヒビターであるTyrophostin処理することにより導入効率を有意に高めることが出来ることが明らかとなった。これらの方法によって導入した遺伝子の保護効果について検討した結果、培養下では網膜神経節細胞の血清除去による細胞死を抑制すること、また、連続光照射による視細胞変性の動物実験モデルにおいて、これらの細胞移植は有意に視細胞変性を抑制することが明らかとなった。

加齢黄斑変性は近年ますます増加している、高度の視力障害をきたす疾患である。その背景には環境的な危険因子とともに遺伝的な要素も関係していると考えられる。最近加齢黄斑変性において、Starg ardt病の原因遺伝子であるABCR(Retina-specific ATP binding cassette trans porter)に13の遺伝子異常があることが報告された。ABCR mRNAは網膜に特異的に発現している。今回、日本人の萎縮型加齢黄斑変性とABCR遺伝子の異常に関連性があるか検討した。東北大学眼科外来で、萎縮型加齢黄斑変性と診断された25例の患者からinformed consentに基づいて末梢血を採取し、加齢黄斑変性を認めない40例の患者を対照群とした。genomeDNAを抽出し、目的の26個のexonをPCR法で増幅した。得られたPCR産物をすべてdirect sequence法にて塩基配列を決定し解決した。 ABCR遺伝子のexon23に全例でP1116S,H1125L,Q1126Lの塩基置換が存在したが、これは対照群においても全例に存在した。exon29に報告された変異と同じT1428Mのアミノ酸変異が1例認められた(1/25;4%)が、この変異は対照群にも認められた(2/40;5%)。Starg ardt病における既知のポリモルフィズムと同じI2083Iが2例認められた。intron33にヘテロの塩基置換が4例、ホモの塩基置換が2例認められた。Allikmetsらは加齢黄斑変性の16%にABCR遺伝子の異常があると報告したが、今回の検討ではこれを支持する結果は得られなかった。ABCRが網膜疾患にどう関わっているか明らかにするためには、ABCRの機能及び遺伝子の発現調節機構の解明も必要であると思われ、今後の課題と考えられる。

現在加齢黄斑変性の治療での問題は、病変が黄斑部に局在し、レーザー光凝固法による治療が困難な場合が多いこと、さらに主として網膜色素上皮細胞の加齢に伴う変化が原因で、形成される新生血管膜の外科的除去に伴い網膜色素上皮細胞も一緒に除去されることがこの疾患の術後視力の得られない原因であった。自己虹彩色素上皮細胞移植を使う方法により、免疫反応を殆ど無視することができる加齢黄斑変性症の治療が期待される。我々は、患者自身の虹彩色素上皮細胞を培養し、神経栄養因子遺伝子を導入する技術を最終的に検討する。まず、培養ラット虹彩色素上皮細胞(IPE)が網膜色素上皮細胞(RPE)の代替細胞として利用可能かどうかについて検討した。IPEとRPEについて視細胞変性および保護に関与する栄養因子、増殖因子とその受容体の発現について調べたところ、発現量は異なるものの同様に発現していることが確認できた。また、RPEの重要な機能である貪食能について調べたところ、IPEの貪食能はRPEの約1/2と少ないものの同様に貪食能を有することが明らかとなった。また、この貪食能はbFGFやBDNFといった視細胞変性に対して保護作用を有する因子は貪食能を亢進させることがわかった。サルを用いて自己虹彩色素上皮細胞移植を実施したところ、移植された細胞は6ケ月以上、網膜下で生存していることが分かった。以上の基礎研究を終え、加齢黄斑変性症患者に対し、自己虹彩色素上皮細胞移植を実施した。現在までのところ、良好で副作用は認められていない。
