Abstract

Background and Purpose-The genetic contribution to dilated perivascular space (dPVS) burden-an emerging MRI marker of cerebral small vessel disease-is unknown. We measured the heritability of dPVS burden and its shared heritability with other MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease. Methods-The study sample comprised 1597 participants from the population-based Three City (3C) Dijon Study, with brain MRI and genome-wide genotyping (mean age, 72.8 +/- 4.1 years; 61% women). dPVS burden and lacunar brain infarcts were rated on a semiquantitative scale, whereas an automated algorithm generated white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV). We estimated dPVS burden heritability and shared heritability with WMHV and lacunar brain infarcts using the genome-wide complex trait analysis tool, on unrelated participants, adjusting for age, sex, intracranial volume, and principal components of population stratification. Results-dPVS burden was significantly correlated with WMHV and lacunar brain infarcts, the strongest correlation being found between WMHV and dPVS in basal ganglia. Heritability estimates were h(2) = 0.59 +/- 0.24 (P = 0.007) for dPVS burden, h(2) = 0.54 +/- 0.24 (P = 0.010) for WMHV, and h(2) = 0.48 +/- 0.81 (P = 0.278) for lacunar brain infarcts. We found a nonsignificant trend toward shared heritability between dPVS and WMHV (r(g) = 0.41 +/- 0.28; P = 0.096), which seemed driven by dPVS in basal ganglia (r(g) = 0.72 +/- 0.61; P= 0.126) and not dPVS in white matter (r(g) =-0.10 +/- 0.36; P = 0.393). A genetic risk score for WMHV based on published loci was associated with increased dPVS burden in basal ganglia (P = 0.031). Conclusions-We provide evidence for important genetic contribution to dPVS burden in older community-dwelling people, some of which may be shared with WMHV. Differential heritability patterns for dPVS in white matter and basal ganglia suggest at least partly distinct underlying biological processes.
