Preliminary Analysis of the Nonsynonymous Polymorphism rs17563 in BMP4 Gene in Brazilian Population Suggests Protection for Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate.

ABSTRACT: Cleft lip with or without palate (CL±P) is common congenital anomalies in humans. Experimental evidence has demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (Bmp4) is involved in the etiology of CL±P in animal models. The nonsynonymous polymorphism rs17563 T>C (p.V152A) in the BMP4 gene has been associated to the risk of nonsyndromic CL±P in Chinese population and microforms from different ethnic backgrounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of BMP4 gene in CL±P in Brazilian sample using genetic association approach. Our sample was composed by 123 patients with nonsyndromic CL±P and 246 controls, in which absence of CL±P was confirmed in 3 generations. The rs17563 polymorphism was genotyped by PCR-RFLP technique. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate allele and genotype association. Our data showed statistical power to detect association (86.83%) in this sample. Logistic regression results showed significant association between C allele and CL±P (P = 0.00018, OR = 0.40, and 95% CI = 0.25-0.65), as well as CC genotype and CL±P (P = 0.00018, OR = 0.35, and 95% CI = 0.19-0.66). So, there is a strong association between nonsyndromic CL±P and BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism in our sample and the C allele had a protective effect against the occurrence of nonsyndromic CL±P.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have investigated the relationship between human bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (BMP4) rs17563 polymorphism and nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). However, the results remained inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism on NSCL/P.MethodsElectronic searches in 5 databases were conducted to select all eligible studies up to March 2017. Odds ratios (ORs) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the results stability by excluding each study in turn. Publication bias was assessed by Begg funnel plots and Egger test.ResultsA total of 11 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled frequency of the minor allele C for BMP4 rs17563 was lower in Asians (pooled frequency = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.29-0.37) than in Brazilian population (pooled frequency = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.40-0.54). The overall results showed no significant association of BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism with NSCL/P risk. However, the results turned out to be different when stratified by ethnicity. BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism was associated with a higher risk of NSCL/P among Asian ethnicity (C vs T: OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.02-1.73; CC vs TT: OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.28-3.43; CC vs TT + TC: OR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.34-3.47) and among Caucasian population (TC vs TT: OR = 3.36, 95% CI: 2.03-5.54; TC + CC vs TT: OR = 3.71, 95% CI: 2.43-5.69). Among Brazilian population, BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism exerted a significantly protective effect on NSCL/P (C vs T: OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.58-0.84; CC vs TT: OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.33-0.88; TC vs TT: OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.44-0.69; TC + CC vs TT: OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.45-0.69).ConclusionThe results suggest that the C allele of BMP4 rs17563 may be a risk factor for NSCL/P among Asians and Caucasians, and may be a protective factor for NSCL/P in Brazilian population. Future large-sample studies with appropriate designs among specific populations are warranted to evaluate the association.
