Association of ALOX5AP gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and cerebral infarction in the Han population of northern China.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: To explore the association of ALOX5AP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotype with the occurrence of cerebral infarction in the Han population of northern China. METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 236 patients of Han ancestry with a history of cerebral infarction and 219 healthy subjects of Han ancestry with no history of cerebral infarction or cardiovascular disease. Applied Biosystems(®) TaqMan(®) SNP Genotyping Assays for SNP genotyping were used to determine the genotypes of 7 ALOX5AP SNP alleles (rs4073259, rs4769874, rs9315050, rs9551963, rs10507391, rs9579646, and rs4147064). RESULTS: One SNP allele (A) of rs4073259 was significantly associated with development of cerebral infarction (P = 0.049). In comparison to control groups, haplotype rs9315050&rs9551963 AAAC [OR (95% CI) = 1.53 (1.02-2.29)], and genotypes rs4147064 CT [OR (95% CI) = 1.872 (1.082-3.241)], and rs9551963 AC [OR (95% CI) = 2.015 (1.165-3.484)] increased the risk of cerebral infarction in patients with hypertension. Genotype rs9579646 GG [OR (95% CI) = 2.926 (1.18-7.251)] increased the risk of, while rs4073259 GG [OR (95% CI) = 0.381 (0.157-0.922)] decreased the risk of cerebral infarction in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSION: These results suggest the ALOX5AP SNP A allele in rs4073259 and genotype rs9579646 GG, rs9551963 AC, and haplotype rs9315050 & rs9551963 AAAC were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in the Han population, while rs4073259 GG was associated with a decreased risk.

Project description:BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic destructive inflammation in synovial joints. It is well known that genetic and environmental risk factors and their interaction contribute to RA pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the association between the critical polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced protein 3(TNFAIP3) gene and the risk of RA in a large northern Chinese Han population.MethodsA case-control study of 1280 RA patients and 1280 matched healthy controls was conducted.ResultsThis study showed that carriers of the rs2230926 TG genotype or rs10499194 CT genotype had an increased risk for RA compared with those carrying the wild genotype (rs2230926: OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.17-1.86, p = 0.001; rs10499194: OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.46-2.74, p < 0.001). The combined rs2230926TG/GG or rs10499194 CT/TT were associated with an increased risk of RA (ORs were 1.50 and 2.01, 95% CIs were 1.19-1.88 and 1.47-2.74, respectively, both p < 0.001). There was not significant association between rs13207033 polymorphism and RA risk. Subset analysis stratified to gender showed that the increased risks were significant among the genotypes TG, TG/GG of rs2230926 and CT, CT/TT of rs10499194 and the corresponding ORs were 1.42 (95% CI = 1.10-1.83, p = 0.006), 1.44(95% CI = 1.12-1.85, p = 0.004), 1.52(95% CI = 1.05-2.20, p = 0.026) and 1.52(95% CI = 1.06-2.19, p = 0.023) in the female population. Stratified analyses by age found that rs2230926(TG, TG/GG) and rs10499194(CT, CT/TT) polymorphisms were associated with RA risks in population ≤53 years old and among >53 years old only rs10499194(CT, TT, CT/TT) polymorphism had significant results. The interaction analysis suggested that individuals with both risk genotypes of the two SNPs have a higher elevated risk of RA than those with only one of them (ORs were 3.44 compared to 1.74 and 1.35). The haplotype results showed that individuals with the rs2230926G-rs13207033G-rs10499194C haplotype were associated with increased risks of RA (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.08-1.74, p = 0.010).ConclusionsRs10499194 and rs2230926 polymorphisms in the TNFAIP3 gene region may be susceptibility factors for rheumatoid arthritis in the northern Chinese Han population.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The frequency distribution of A/G genotype at position-169 in promoter of FCRL3 gene (Fc receptor-like 3) was identified in Han population of northern Anhui Province. The correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at this site and genetic susceptibility of Graves disease (GD) was discussed. How the genotype at this position correlated to age, gender, severity of goiter, presence or absence of exophthalmos, levels of thyrotrophin receptor antibody (TRab), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TpoAb) and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid function was analyzed in details. METHOD:Peripheral venous blood was collected for DNA extraction. SNP at position-169 in the promoter of FCRL3 gene was determined by using PCR-RELP among 180 GD cases and 146 normal subjects. Thyroid function tests and antibody detection were performed. RESULTS:The frequency of GG genotype of position-169 in promoter of FCRL3 gene was higher in GD group than in control group. The frequency was 28.9% and 13.8%, respectively, showing significant differences in intergroup comparison (?(2)=6.618, P=0.046). The G allele frequency of GD group and control group was 49.4% and 40.4%, respectively, also showing significant differences between the groups (?(2)=5.308, P=0.021). GD cases with AA, AG and GG genotypes at position-169 in FCRL3 promoter had significant differences in serum level of TRAb (?(2)=7.319, P=0.026). However, no significant differences in gender, severity of goiter, TpoAb and TgAb level, presence or absence of exophthalmos and thyroid function (FT3, FT4, TSH) were found between the three genotypes (P>0.05). CONCLUSION:A/G SNP at position-169 in promoter of FCRL3 gene was correlated with susceptibility to GD among Han population in northern Anhui Province. G allele may contribute to the susceptibility to GD and correlate to positive TRAb result in thyroid diseases, but not to age of onset, gender, presence or absence of exophthalmos, thyroid function, TpoAb and TgAb level or severity of goiter.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Genetic variation associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes has immunological functions and is associated with autoimmune diseases. To date, large-scale studies involving classical HLA genes have been limited by time-consuming and expensive HLA-typing technologies. To reduce these costs, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been used to predict HLA-allele types. Although HLA allelic distributions differ among populations, most prediction model of HLA genes are based on Caucasian samples, with few reported studies involving non-Caucasians. RESULTS: Our sample consisted of 437 Han Chinese with Affymetrix 5.0 and Illumina 550 K SNPs, of whom 214 also had data on Affymetrix 6.0 SNPs. All individuals had HLA typings at a 4-digit resolution. Using these data, we have built prediction model of HLA genes that are specific for a Han Chinese population. To optimize our prediction model of HLA genes, we analyzed a number of critical parameters, including flanking-region size, genotyping platform, and imputation. Predictive accuracies generally increased both with sample size and SNP density. CONCLUSIONS: SNP data from the HapMap Project are about five times more dense than commercially available genotype chip data. Using chips to genotype our samples, however, only reduced the accuracy of our HLA predictions by only ~3%, while saving a great deal of time and expense. We demonstrated that classical HLA alleles can be predicted from SNP genotype data with a high level of accuracy (80.37% (HLA-B) ~95.79% (HLA-DQB1)) in a Han Chinese population. This finding offers new opportunities for researchers in obtaining HLA genotypes via prediction using their already existing chip datasets. Since the genetic variation structure (e.g. SNP, HLA, Linkage disequilibrium) is different between Han Chinese and Caucasians, and has strong impact in building prediction models for HLA genes, our findings emphasize the importance of building ethnic-specific models when analyzing human populations.
