Association between inbreeding coefficient and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection, a case-control study.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Consanguinity has been associated with adverse health outcomes. The objective of the present study was to assess the association between parental consanguinity and risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). METHODS:Data were collected from 333 HIV-1 infected individuals referred to a local health center in Shiraz (southern Iran). A total of 999 healthy individuals frequency matched with the cases according to their sex and age were also studied, as a control group. RESULTS:Prevalence of parental consanguineous marriage was 23.7% and 32.8% among patients and controls, respectively (Chi(2)=9.880, df=1, p=0.007). The mean inbreeding coefficient was 0.0110 and 0.0156 among patients and controls, respectively. The risk of infection with HIV-1 decreased as a function of inbreeding coefficient (Chi(2)=7.531, p=0.006). CONCLUSION:The present finding indicates a negative association between the susceptibility of HIV-1 infection and the inbreeding coefficient.

Association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and thyroid dysfunction: a case-control seroprevalence study.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and thyroid disease has been poorly studied. Therefore, we sought to determine the association between T. gondii seropositivity and thyroid dysfunction. METHODS:We performed an age- and gender-matched case-control study of 176 patients suffering from hypothyroidism (n = 161) or hyperthyroidism (n = 15) and 528 control subjects without these diseases in a public hospital in Durango City, Mexico. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were determined in sera from cases and controls using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS:Anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies were found in 11 (6.3%) of 176 patients suffering from thyroid dysfunction and in 48 (9.1%) of 528 control subjects (OR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.33-1.31; P = 0.23). Stratification by two groups of age (50 years and younger, and 51 year and older) showed that the youngest group of patients with thyroid dysfunction had a significantly lower seroprevalence of T. gondii infection than its age- and gender-matched control group (1/83: 1.2% vs 23/257: 8.6%; OR = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.01-0.93; P = 0.01). This stratification also showed that the youngest group of patients with hypothyroidism had a significantly lower seroprevalence of T. gondii infection than its age- and gender matched control group (0/75: 0% vs 21/233: 9.0%; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that thyroid dysfunction is not associated with seropositivity to T. gondii in general; however, in young (50 years or less) patients, a negative association between infection and thyroid dysfunction and hypothyroidism was found. Further research to confirm this negative association is needed.

Association between EN1 rs4144782 and susceptibility of knee osteoarthritis: A case-control study.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease that affects the whole joint, resulting from the combined influence of biomechanical factors and genetic factors. The heritable component for primary OA accounts for about 60% of variation in population liability to the disease. So far, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and candidate gene studies have established many OA-related loci. However, these findings account for only a rather small fraction of the genetic component. To further reveal the genetic architecture of OA, we conducted this case-control study to explore the association of locus EN1 rs4144782 and knee OA susceptibility in a Chinese population. EN1 rs4144782 was significantly associated with increased risk of knee OA (OR=1.26; 95% CI: 1.05-1.50, P value=0.012). In dominant model, compared with carriers of GG genotype, those with AG or AA genotype have an 1.44-fold increased risk of OA (OR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.10-1.88; P value=0.008). Subgroup analyses didn't change the results materially. This should be the first association study of EN1 locus on risk of OA, and our finding suggested that the EN1 rs4144782 might contribute to the susceptibility of knee OA.

Genetic association of TOLLIP gene polymorphisms and HIV infection: a case-control study.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have indicated that host genetic factors play an essential role in immunity to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We aimed to investigate the association between the toll-interacting protein (TOLLIP) and mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) genes and HIV infection susceptibility among Chinese Han patients.MethodsThis is a case-control study. A total of 435 HIV-infected patients and 1013 seronegative healthy individuals were recruited. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Two SNPs in the MBL2 gene (rs7096206 and rs1800450) and three SNPs in the TOLLIP gene (rs5743899, rs3750920, and rs5743867) were selected and genotyped using a SNPscan Kit (Cat#: G0104, Genesky Biotechnologies Inc., Shanghai, China). Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using unconditional binary logistic regression.ResultsA significant association between the minor alleles rs5743899 (C allele) and rs5743867 (G allele) in the TOLLIP gene and susceptibility to HIV infection was found in this study after adjusting for age and sex (Pa = 0.011 and < 0.001, respectively). The rs5743867 in the TOLLIP gene was significantly associated with the risk of HIV infection in dominant, recessive, and additive models when adjusted for age and sex (Pa < 0.05). No significant association was found between MBL2 gene polymorphisms and HIV infection.ConclusionOur study found a statistically significant association between the two SNPs (rs5743867 and rs5743899) in the TOLLIP gene and susceptibility to HIV infection in a Chinese Han population.

Association between METTL3 gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility: A nine-centre case-control study.

Project description:Neuroblastoma ranks as the most commonly seen and deadly solid tumour in infancy. The aberrant activity of m6 A-RNA methyltransferase METTL3 is involved in human cancers. Therefore, functional genetic variants in the METTL3 gene may contribute to neuroblastoma risk. In the current nine-centre case-control study, we aimed to analyse the association between the METTL3 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and neuroblastoma susceptibility. We genotyped four METTL3 gene SNPs (rs1061026 T>G, rs1061027 C>A, rs1139130 A>G, and rs1263801 G>C) in 968 neuroblastoma patients and 1814 controls in China. We found significant associations between these SNPs and neuroblastoma risk in neither single-locus nor combined analyses. Interestingly, in the stratified analysis, we observed a significant risk association with rs1061027 AA in subgroups of children ≤ 18 months of age (adjusted OR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.03-3.41, P = .040) and females (adjusted OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.07-3.24, P = .028). Overall, we identified a significant association between METTL3 gene rs1061027 C>A polymorphism and neuroblastoma risk in children ≤18 months of age and females. Our findings provide novel insights into the genetic determinants of neuroblastoma.

Association Between <i>CYP1A1</i> Polymorphisms and Esophageal Cancer Susceptibility: A Case-control Study.

Project description:Background/aimEnvironmental and genetic factors (such as polymorphisms) contribute to the development of esophageal cancer (EC), but the disease's molecular genetic markers are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate previously unstudied cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1 polymorphisms (rs2606345, rs4646421 and rs4986883) in EC.Materials and methodsWe performed real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to identify CYP1A1 polymorphisms (rs2606345, rs4646421, and rs4986883) in 100 patients and 100 controls.ResultsSmoking and tandoor fumes were significantly higher in all EC and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients compared to the control group (p<0.0001). The risk of EC was two-fold higher in hot tea drinkers compared to non-drinkers, but this factor was not significant for ESCC or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) (p>0.05). The rs4986883 T>C polymorphism was not found in our population. The rs2606345 C allele was significantly associated with EC risk in men, and C-carriers who drank hot black tea had a nearly threefold higher risk of EC than non-drinkers. In addition, EC risk in hot black tea drinkers was approximately 12 times higher in rs4646421 A carriers than in non-A carriers, and approximately 17 times higher in the presence of both rs2606345 C allele and rs4646421 A allele. Furthermore, the rs2606345 AA genotype may act as a protective factor for the rs4646421 GG genotype.ConclusionAmong the CYP1A1 polymorphisms, rs2606345 may increase the risk of EC only in men. The risk of EC in hot tea drinkers may increase in the presence of rs4986883 and rs2606345 polymorphisms.

Association between periodontitis and severity of COVID-19 infection: A case-control study.

Project description:AimCOVID-19 is associated with an exacerbated inflammatory response that can result in fatal outcomes. Systemic inflammation is also a main characteristic of periodontitis. Therefore, we investigated the association of periodontitis with COVID-19 complications.Materials and methodsA case-control study was performed using the national electronic health records of the State of Qatar between February and July 2020. Cases were defined as patients who suffered COVID-19 complications (death, ICU admissions or assisted ventilation), and controls were COVID-19 patients discharged without major complications. Periodontal conditions were assessed using dental radiographs from the same database. Associations between periodontitis and COVID 19 complications were analysed using logistic regression models adjusted for demographic, medical and behaviour factors.ResultsIn total, 568 patients were included. After adjusting for potential confounders, periodontitis was associated with COVID-19 complication including death (OR = 8.81, 95% CI 1.00-77.7), ICU admission (OR = 3.54, 95% CI 1.39-9.05) and need for assisted ventilation (OR = 4.57, 95% CI 1.19-17.4). Similarly, blood levels of white blood cells, D-dimer and C Reactive Protein were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients with periodontitis.ConclusionPeriodontitis was associated with higher risk of ICU admission, need for assisted ventilation and death of COVID-19 patients, and with increased blood levels of biomarkers linked to worse disease outcomes.

Association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase tagging polymorphisms and susceptibility of hepatocellular carcinoma: a case-control study.

Project description:Polymorphisms in one-carbon metabolism genes may influence the susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, we studied methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) tagging polymorphisms in 584 HCC cases and 923 controls. Polymerase chain reaction was harnessed to detect MTHFR genotype. Overall, our results showed that genotype distribution of MTHFR rs4846048 and rs4845882 polymorphisms was not different between HCC patients and controls. MTHFR rs9651118 and rs1801133 loci were protective factors for HCC (rs9651118: CT vs. TT: adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49-0.90, P=0.008 and TC/CC vs. TT: adjusted OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.53-0.93, P=0.015; rs1801133: GA vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.54-0.97, P=0.031, AA/GA vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.57-0.99, P=0.045). However, MTHFR rs3753584 locus was a candidate for susceptibility to HCC (CT vs. TT: adjusted OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.20-2.32, P=0.003 and TC/CC vs. TT: adjusted OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.15-2.20, P=0.005). Results of haplotype analysis suggested that MTHFR Grs1801133Trs3753584Grs4845882Ars4846048Trs9651118 was associated with the risk of HCC (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.16-2.07, P=0.003). The power of our study also confirmed these associations (the value of power >0.80). In summary, our findings suggested that MTHFR rs3753584, rs9651118 and rs1801133 polymorphisms may affect the risk of HCC in Chinese Han population. In future, our findings should be further validated in additional case-control studies.

The Association Between Cervical Human Papillomavirus Infection and Subsequent HIV Acquisition in Tanzanian and Ugandan Women: A Nested Case-Control Study.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study was performed to analyze the associations between cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition, using cervical samples from previous studies in Tanzania and Uganda.MethodsA total of 161 adult women who acquired HIV infection during follow-up and 464 individually matched HIV-seronegative controls were selected from 5 cohorts of women working in bars and recreational facilities. Stored cervical samples were tested for 37 HPV genotypes, using a polymerase chain reaction assay (Roche Linear Array genotyping assay). Multivariate matched analysis using conditional logistic regression was performed to evaluate HPV infection, persistence, and clearance as predictors of HIV acquisition.ResultsHIV seroconverters were significantly more likely than controls to frequently drink alcohol and to be infected with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or herpes simplex virus type 2. There was no evidence of an association between HIV acquisition and any detectable HPV at the visit prior to HIV seroconversion (adjusted odds ratio, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, .66-1.57) or between HIV acquisition and persistent HPV infection (defined as 2 positive HPV genotype-specific test results at least 6 months apart), cleared HPV infection (defined as a positive HPV test result followed by negative HPV genotype-specific test result), or newly acquired HPV infection, compared with HPV-negative women.ConclusionsThere was no evidence of association between HPV infection status and subsequent HIV acquisition. These results stand in contrast to other observational studies.

Association between intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) polymorphisms and diabetic foot susceptibility: A case-control study.

Project description:The objective of the present study was to explore the association between intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) polymorphisms (rs5498 and rs3093030) and diabetic foot (DF) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.128 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with DF, 147 T2DM patients without DF, and 155 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. ICAM1 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The genotypes and alleles of the polymorphisms were compared by ? test between the 2 groups. Association between ICAM1 polymorphisms and DF susceptibility was expressed through odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Effects of ICAM1 polymorphisms on DF clinical characteristics were analyzed by t test.GG genotype of rs5498 polymorphism was distinctly correlated with decreased T2DM risk (OR?=?0.369, 95%CI?=?0.152-0.895) and reduced susceptibility to DF among healthy controls (OR?=?0.316, 95%CI?=?0.119-0.837). Similar results were discovered between rs5498 G allele and decreased risk of T2DM (OR?=?0.676, 95%CI?=?0.475-0.963) and DF (OR?=?0.656, 95%CI?=?0.453-0.950) among healthy controls. Individuals carrying rs3093030 T allele had low susceptibility to DF developed from T2DM (OR?=?0.634, 95%CI?=?0.412-0.974). DF patients carrying rs5498 AA genotype had significantly higher serum creatinine levels than GG genotype carriers (P?=?.003).ICAM1 rs3093030 polymorphism may act as a protective factor against DF developed from T2DM, moreover, rs5498 may be involved in onset of T2DM.Clinical trial number: ChiCTR-INR-18010231.

Association between IL1B gene and cervical cancer susceptibility in Chinese Uygur Population: A Case-Control study.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin-1β (IL-1B) has been recognized as a pro-inflammatory cytokine and associated with tumorigenesis. We aimed to evaluate the contribution of IL-1B polymorphisms to the susceptibility of cervical cancer in Chinese Uygur population.MethodsSeven variants were genotyped by Agena MassARRAY platform in 267 cervical cancer patients and 302 healthy controls. Allelic, genotypic, and haplotypic association analyses adjusted for age were investigated using odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). GEPIA and UALCAN databases were used to evaluate expression and prognostic of IL-1B gene in cervical cancer.ResultsOur result revealed IL-1B rs1143627-AA (OR = 1.98, p = 0.029) and rs16944-GG (OR = 2.01, p = 0.025) was associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. Besides, we also found two protective single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs3136558 (OR = 0.63, p = 0.011) and rs1143630 (OR = 0.63, p = 0.019). Haplotype ″TGA″ in the block (rs1143630, rs1143627, and rs16944) significantly decreased the susceptibility of cervical cancer (OR = 0.53, p = 0.0007). IL-1B mRNA level was up-regulated in the cervical cancer patients, which was related with poor prognosis in silico.ConclusionsFor the first time, our results provide evidence on polymorphism of IL-1B gene associated with cervical cancer risk in Chinese Uygur population.
