Pathogenic variants screening in seventeen candidate genes on 2p15 for association with ankylosing spondylitis in a Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Previous studies have found the association between rs10865331 in 2p15 area and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to identify additional functional genetic variants in 2p15 region associated with AS susceptibility.

Methods

We used next generation sequencing (NGS) in 100 AS cases and 100 healthy controls to screen AS susceptible genetic variants, and validated these variants in 620 cases and 620 controls by using imLDRTM technique for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping.

Results

Totally, we identified 12 SNPs that might confer susceptibility to AS. Of those SNPs, three (rs14170, rs2123111 and rs1729674) were nominally associated (P<0.05) with AS, but were no longer statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. After stratified by gender, another two SNPs (rs11428092 and rs10208769 in USP34) were associated with AS in males but not females, though this was not statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. In addition, rs1729674, rs14170, rs2123111 and rs10208769 were in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and were further enrolled in haplotype analysis. A novel haplotype TAGA was found to be associated with a decreased risk of AS (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 0.832 (0.705-0.982)). Beyond that, we also demonstrated a strong relationship between rs10865331 and AS susceptibility (OR (95% CI) = 1.303(1.111-1.526)).

Conclusions

rs14170 and rs2123111 inUSP34 and rs1729674 in C2orf74 may be associated with AS susceptibility in Han Chinese population. USP34 and C2orf74 in 2p15 region may be AS novel susceptibility genes.

Project description:BackgroundWe sought to discover serum biomarkers of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) for diagnosis and monitoring disease activity.MethodsWe studied biologic-treatment-naïve AS and healthy control (HC) patients' sera. Eighty samples matched by age, gender, and race (1:1:1 ratio) for AS patients with active disease, inactive disease, and HC were analyzed with SOMAscan™, an aptamer-based discovery platform. T-tests tests were performed for high/low-disease activity AS patients versus HCs (diagnosis) and high versus low disease activity (Monitoring) in a 2:1 and 1:1 ratio, respectively, to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). We used the Cytoscape Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) plugin to find clusters in protein-protein interaction networks and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) for upstream regulators. Lasso regression analysis was performed for diagnosis.ResultsOf the 1317 proteins detected in our diagnosis and monitoring analyses, 367 and 167 (317 and 59, FDR-corrected q < .05) DEPs, respectively, were detected. MCODE identified complement, IL-10 signaling, and immune/interleukin signaling as the top 3 diagnosis PPI clusters. Complement, extracellular matrix organization/proteoglycans, and MAPK/RAS signaling were the top 3 monitoring PPI clusters. IPA showed interleukin 23/17 (interleukin 22, interleukin 23A), TNF (TNF receptor-associated factor 3), cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, Stimulator of Interferon Gene 1), and Jak/Stat (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1), signaling in predicted upstream regulators. Lasso regression identified a Diagnostic 13-protein model predictive of AS. This model had a sensitivity of 0.75, specificity of 0.90, a kappa of 0.59, and overall accuracy of 0.80 (95% CI: 0.61-0.92). The AS vs HC ROC curve was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.61-0.96).ConclusionWe identified multiple candidate AS diagnostic and disease activity monitoring serum biomarkers using a comprehensive proteomic screen. Enrichment analysis identified key pathways in AS diagnosis and monitoring. Lasso regression identified a multi-protein panel with modest predictive ability.

Project description:Genotyping was performed using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina) to determine possible associations of genes encoding PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR,SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 to rheumatoid arthrities (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We previously found that encoding genes of PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR, SERPNA1, PCSK6 and DNAH9 could be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We used illumina customer designed microarray to verify the above finding with an increased numbers of samples. Genotyping was performed using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina) to determine possible associations of genes encoding PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR, SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 to RA and AS. A case-control study was performed with 51 AS patients, 266 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 163 health controls. Tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag SNPs) across the above genes were determined by searching the HapMap database. The tag SNPs were selected on the basis of linkage disequilibrium patterns observed in the Han Chinese in Beijing (CHB) samples that were genotyped as a part of the International HapMap Project. Only SNPs with a minor allele frequency of greater than 5% with a pair-wise r2 ≥ 0.8 in the HapMap were considered. SNPs that were in exons and untranslated regions (UTR), as well as promoters and introns within 500 bp of exons were also selected. Candidate SNPs were submitted to Illumina for a design score. The Illumina Assay Design Tool filtered out SNPs that were not suitable for the Illumina platform. Finally, 382 SNPs with a design score of “1” were selected. 382 SNPs within PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR,SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 encoding genes were selected. Genotyping was performed using Illumina VeraCode microarray in a case-control study including 51 AS patients, 266 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 163 health controls We performed genotyping using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina). Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with RA (n=266, 183 female) and AS (n=51, 10 female). RA patients had a mean age of 51.7 years, while AS patients had a mean age of 35.9 years. A total of 163 (60 female) healthy individuals with a mean age of 48.0 years were blood donors. Blood samples were put into Monovette tubes containing 3.8% sodium citrate. The genotyping was conducted with the BeadXpress Reader using the Illumina VeraCode GoldenGate Assay kit. 500 ng of sample DNA were used per assay. Genotype clustering and calling were performed using BeadStudio software (Genomestudio V2010.2 Genotyping module V1.6) (Illumina). This work was completed at the Beijing Institute of Genomics.
