Correlation of chitinase 3-like 1 single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes with uterine cervical cancer in Taiwanese women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the relationships of chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes with the development of uterine cervical cancer in Taiwanese women. The SNPs frequencies and haplotypes were also correlated with the clinicopathologic variables of cervical cancer, cancer recurrence, and patient survival.

Methodology and principal findings

Ninety-nine patients with invasive cancer and 61 with pre-cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix were compared to 310 healthy control subjects. Three SNPs rs6691378 (-1371, G/A), rs10399805 (-247, G/A) and rs4950928 (-131, C/G) in the promoter region, and one SNP rs880633 (+2950, T/C) in exon 5 were analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction and genotyping. The results showed that the mutant homozygous genotype AA of CHI3L1 SNP rs6691378 and AA of rs10399805, and haplotypes AACC and AACT increased the risk of developing pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cancer. The patients with these risk haplotypes had higher than stage I tumors, larger tumors, and vaginal invasion. In logistic regression model, they also tended to have poor survival event [p = 0.078; odds ratio (OR): 2.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89-10.08] and a higher probability of recurrence event (p = 0.081; OR: 3.07, 95% CI: 0.87-10.81). There was a significant association between the CHI3L1 risk haplotypes and probability of recurrence (p = 0.002; hazard ratio: 6.21, 95% CI: 1.90-20.41), and a marginal association between the risk haplotypes and overall survival (p = 0.051; hazard ratio: 3.76, 95% CI: 0.99-14.29) in the patients with SCC, using Cox proportional hazard model.

Conclusion

The CHI3L1 SNPs rs6691378 and rs10399805 and CHI3L1 haplotypes all correlated with the development of cervical pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cancer. The cervical cancer patients with the CHI3L1 haplotypes AACC or AACT had poor clinicopathologic characteristics and poor recurrence and survival events. These risk haplotypes were associated with higher recurrence, especially in the patients with SCC.

Project description:This retrospective study aims to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) (C677T, A1298C), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) (A66G) and ethnic distribution characteristics in pregnant women, and to explore the risk correlation with folate metabolism. The demographic data of 8735 pregnant women aged 15 to 47 years were retrospectively analyzed, and peripheral blood samples were collected and tested. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to determine the genotype and allele frequency of MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G in blood samples. Sperman correlation analysis, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to verify the correlation between SNPs of MTHFR (C677T, A1298C), MTRR (A66G), different ethnic groups and the susceptibility and risk levels of folate metabolism. The relative risk of the SNPs was further determined by calculating the odds ratio (OR) at a 95% confidence interval (CI). The average age of 8735 pregnant women was 28.87 ± 4.20 years old. The evaluation of risk levels for folate metabolism was relative high, including 2296 cases with low risk, 3971 cases with medium risk, and 752 cases with high risk. Among the MTHFR C677T locus, the CC genotype had the highest frequency, MTHFR A1298C locus had the highest frequency of the AA genotype, and MTRR A66G locus had the highest frequency of the AA genotype. The frequency distribution of SNPs in different ethnic groups revealed that the frequency of CT genotype among the MTHFR C677T locus, AA genotype among the MTHFR A1298C locus and the MTRR A66G locus was the highest in Han, Buyi, Miao and Dong ethnic groups. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the Han, Buyi, Miao and other ethnic groups (including Yi, Bai, Zhuang, Chuanqing) had the possibility of increasing the risk levels of folate metabolism. The CC genotype of MTHFR C677T (adjusted OR = 2.46, 95% CI: 2.14-2.84, P < .001) and the AG genotype of MTRR A66G (adjusted OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.61-2.22, P < .001) were significantly related to the risk levels of folate metabolism, which is an independent risk factor for the susceptibility of folate metabolism.

Project description:BackgroundGeneral, breed- and diet-dependent associations between feed efficiency in beef cattle and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes were identified on a population of 1321 steers using a 50 K SNP panel. Genomic associations with traditional two-step indicators of feed efficiency - residual feed intake (RFI), residual average daily gain (RADG), and residual intake gain (RIG) - were compared to associations with two complementary one-step indicators of feed efficiency: efficiency of intake (EI) and efficiency of gain (EG). Associations uncovered in a training data set were evaluated on independent validation data set. A multi-SNP model was developed to predict feed efficiency. Functional analysis of genes harboring SNPs significantly associated with feed efficiency and network visualization aided in the interpretation of the results.ResultsFor the five feed efficiency indicators, the numbers of general, breed-dependent, and diet-dependent associations with SNPs (P-value?<?0.0001) were 31, 40, and 25, and with haplotypes were six, ten, and nine, respectively. Of these, 20 SNP and six haplotype associations overlapped between RFI and EI, and five SNP and one haplotype associations overlapped between RADG and EG. This result confirms the complementary value of the one and two-step indicators. The multi-SNP models included 89 SNPs and offered a precise prediction of the five feed efficiency indicators. The associations of 17 SNPs and 7 haplotypes with feed efficiency were confirmed on the validation data set. Nine clusters of Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway categories (mean P-value?<?0.001) including, 9nucleotide binding; ion transport, phosphorous metabolic process, and the MAPK signaling pathway were overrepresented among the genes harboring the SNPs associated with feed efficiency.ConclusionsThe general SNP associations suggest that a single panel of genomic variants can be used regardless of breed and diet. The breed- and diet-dependent associations between SNPs and feed efficiency suggest that further refinement of variant panels require the consideration of the breed and management practices. The unique genomic variants associated with the one- and two-step indicators suggest that both types of indicators offer complementary description of feed efficiency that can be exploited for genome-enabled selection purposes.

Project description:BackgroundGallstones are abnormal masses caused by impaired metabolism of cholesterol, bilirubin, or bile salts in the gallbladder or biliary tract. ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 8 (ABCG8) is a protein that regulates cholesterol efflux from the liver. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses of GWAS revealed the ABCG8 rs11887534 variant as the most common genetic determinant of gallstones in humans. These findings have not been extensively replicated in Taiwanese. Therefore, we appraised the relationship between gallstones and rs11887534 in a relatively large Taiwanese sample.MethodsWe retrieved data collected through questionnaires, physical and biochemical tests from the Taiwan Biobank Bank (TWB). The study participants comprised 7388 men and 13,880 women who voluntarily enrolled in the Taiwan Biobank project between 2008 and 2019. Gallstones were self-reported.ResultsThe overall sample size was 21,268 comprising 938 gallstone patients and 20,330 non-gallstone individuals. Among the participants, 20,640 had the GG and 628 had the GC + CC genotype. At p-value < 0.05, the baseline genotypes and gallstone status between men and women were not significantly different. The risk of gallstones was higher in participants having the GC + CC compared to the GG genotype: odds ratio (OR); 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.698; 1.240-2.325), but was lower in men compared to women (OR = 0.763; 95% CI = 0.638-0.913). Compared to men with the rs11887534 GG genotype, women with the GG and GC + CC genotypes had a higher risk of gallstone (OR; 95% CI = 1.304; 1.087-1.565 for GG and 2.291; 1.514-3.467 for GC + CC). The positive association between GC + CC and gallstones was retained after we restricted the analysis to the female participants (OR; 95% CI = 1.789 = 1.208-2.648). Hormone use was associated with an elevated risk of gallstones (OR; 95% CI = 1.359; 1.107-1.668). Relative to GG and no hormone use, we found a significantly high risk among hormone users with the GC + CC genotype (OR; 95% CI = 3.596; 1.495-8.650).ConclusionsThe rs11887534 GC + CC genotype was independently associated with a higher risk of gallstones. This risk was much higher among women, especially those who used hormones for various gynecological purposes.

Project description:BACKGROUND:FAS cell surface death receptor (FAS) gene has 2 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in its promoter, FAS-1377G?>?A (rs2234767) and FAS-670A?>?G (rs1800682). Several studies have investigated the role of these 2 polymorphisms in etiology of breast cancer in Asian population while the outcomes are inconsistent. To derive a more precise assessment of the association between breast cancer susceptibility with FAS gene promoter SNPs, a meta-analysis of published studies was performed. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Chinese biomedical database (CBM) for papers published until November 1, 2018. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidential interval (95%CI) was conducted to evaluate the associations. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata13.0 software. A total of 8 studies covering 2564 cases and 2633 controls were included. RESULTS:The integrated results suggest the following: For the FAS-1377G/A polymorphism, we only found significant associations for allele G vs allele A (OR?=?1.100, 95%CI?=?1.004-1.206, P?=?.040). After stratification by ethnicity, a significant association was observed only for the AA+GA vs GG genotype in East Asian populations (OR?=?1.177, 95% CI?=?1.010-1.371, P?=?.037). The association was not found in West Asian populations. For the FAS -670A/G polymorphism, no association with cancer risk was found in any comparison model. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the meta-analysis results obtained after excluding any single study were similar to the original ones, suggesting that the meta-analysis results were not significantly affected by any single study. CONCLUSION:These results indicated that FAS-1377G/A polymorphism may contribute to the increased breast cancer susceptibility and could be a promising target for cancer risk prediction. Further studies are needed to determine if the FAS gene confers a risk of breast cancer in other ethnic groups, such as Africans and Latin Americans.
