Association of common polymorphisms in the IL2RA gene with type 1 diabetes: evidence of 32,646 individuals from 10 independent studies.

ABSTRACT: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) gene have been suggested to be associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility. However, the results from individual studies are inconsistent. To explore the association of IL2RA polymorphisms with T1D, including rs11594656, rs2104286, rs3118470, rs41295061 and rs706778, a meta-analysis involving 10 independent studies with 19 outcomes was conducted: five studies with a total of 10,572 cases and 12,956 controls were analysed for rs11594656 with T1D risk, three studies with 7300 cases and 8331 controls for rs2104286, three studies with 3880 cases and 5409 controls for rs3118470, five studies with 11,253 cases and 13,834 controls for rs41295061 and three studies with 1896 cases and 1709 controls for rs706778 respectively. Using minor allelic comparison, the five investigated SNPs were all observed to have a significant association with T1D: For rs11594656, fixed effect model (FEM) odds ratio (OR) 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83, 0.91; rs2104286, FEM OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.77, 0.85; rs3118470, FEM OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.16, 1.31; rs41295061, random effect model (REM) OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.60, 0.76 and rs706778 FEM OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08, 1.33. Similar results were obtained when all the included studies were calculated by a REM. Our meta-analysis suggests that all five SNPs in the IL2RA gene are risk factors for T1D risk, and rs11594656, rs2104286 and rs41295061 are the most associated SNPs in the populations investigated. This conclusion warrants confirmation by further studies.

Project description:Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) which include Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) as well as type 1 diabetes (T1D) are common autoimmune disorders in children. Many genes are involved in the modulation of the immune system and their polymorphisms might predispose to autoimmune diseases development. According to the literature genes encoding IL2RA (alpha subunit of Interleukin 2 receptor), IFIH1 (Interferon induced with helicase C domain 1) and CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T cell antigen 4) might be associated with autoimmune diseases pathogenesis. The aim of the study was to assess the association of chosen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL2RA, IFIH1, and CTLA-4 genes in the group of Polish children with AITDs and in children with T1D. We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL2RA region (rs7093069), IFIH1 region (rs1990760) and CTLA-4 region (rs231775) in group of Polish children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (n = 194) and autoimmune thyroid diseases (GD n = 170, HT n = 81) and healthy age and sex matched controls for comparison (n = 110). There were significant differences observed between T1D patients and control group in alleles of IL2RA (rs7093069 T > C) and CTLA-4 (rs231775 G > A). In addition, the study revealed T/T genotype at the IL2RA locus (rs7093069) and G/G genotype at the CTLA-4 locus (rs231775) to be statistically significant more frequent in children with T1D. Moreover, genotypes C/T and T/T at the IFIH1 locus (rs1990760) were significantly more frequent in patients with T1D than in controls. We observed no significant differences between AITD patients and a control group in analyzed SNPs. In conclusion, we detected that each allele T of rs7093069 SNP at the IL2RA locus and G allele of rs231775 SNP at the CTLA-4 locus as well as C/T and T/T genotypes of rs1990760 SNP at the IFIH1 locus are predisposing in terms of T1D development. Thereby, we confirmed that IL2RA, IFIH1, and CTLA-4 gene locus have a role in T1D susceptibility. The analysis of selected SNPs revealed no association with AITDs in a group of Polish children and adolescents.
