Fine-Mapping of 18q21.1 Locus Identifies Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Associated with Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate.

ABSTRACT: Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is one of the most common congenital birth defects. NSCL/P is a complex multifactorial disease caused by interactions between multiple environmental and genetic factors. However, the causal single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) signature profile underlying the risk of familial NSCL/P still remains unknown. We previously reported a 5.7-Mb genomic region on chromosome 18q21.1 locus that potentially contributes to autosomal dominant, low-penetrance inheritance of NSCL/P. In the current study, we performed exome sequencing on 12 familial genomes (six affected individuals, two obligate carriers, and four seemingly unaffected individuals) of a six-generation family to identify candidate SNPs associated with NSCL/P risk. Subsequently, targeted bidirectional DNA re-sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified high-risk regions of MYO5B gene and sequenom iPLEX genotpying of 29 candidate SNPs were performed on a larger set of 33 members of this NSCL/P family (10 affected + 4 obligate carriers + 19 unaffected relatives) to find SNPs significantly associated with NSCL/P trait. SNP vs. NSCL/P association analysis showed the MYO5B SNP rs183559995 GA genotype had an odds ratio of 18.09 (95% Confidence Interval = 1.86-176.34; gender-adjusted P = 0.0019) compared to the reference GG genotype. Additionally, the following SNPs were also found significantly associated with NSCL/P risk: rs1450425 (LOXHD1), rs6507992 (SKA1), rs78950893 (SMAD7), rs8097060, rs17713847 (SCARNA17), rs6507872 (CTIF), rs8091995 (CTIF), and rs17715416 (MYO5B). We could thus identify mutations in several genes as key candidate SNPs associated with the risk of NSCL/P in this large multi-generation family.

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.
