Increased Prevalence of Rare Sucrase-isomaltase Pathogenic Variants in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients.

ABSTRACT: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often associate their symptoms to certain foods. In congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), recessive mutations in the SI gene (coding for the disaccharidase digesting sucrose and 60% of dietary starch)1 cause clinical features of IBS through colonic accumulation of undigested carbohydrates, triggering bowel symptoms.2 Hence, in a previous study,3 we hypothesized that CSID variants reducing SI enzymatic activity may contribute to development of IBS symptoms. We detected association with increased risk of IBS for 4 rare loss-of-function variants typically found in (homozygous) CSID patients, because carriers (heterozygous) of these rare variants were more common in patients than in controls.1,4 Through a 2-step computational and experimental strategy, the present study aimed to determine whether other (dys-)functional SI variants are associated with risk of IBS in addition to known CSID mutations. We first aimed to identify all SI rare pathogenic variants (SI-RPVs) on the basis of integrated Mendelian Clinically Applicable Pathogenicity (M-CAP) and Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) predictive (clinically relevant) scores; next, we inspected genotype data currently available for 2207 IBS patients from a large ongoing project to compare SI-RPV case frequencies with ethnically matched population frequencies from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC).

Project description:Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and regulates the stress response through two CRH receptors (R1 and R2). Previously, we reported that a CRHR1 gene polymorphism (rs110402, rs242924, and rs7209436) and haplotypes were associated with IBS. However, the association between the CRHR2 gene and IBS was not investigated. We tested the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of CRHR2 are associated with IBS pathophysiology and negative emotion in IBS patients.A total of 142 IBS patients and 142 healthy controls participated in this study. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CRHR2 gene (rs4722999, rs3779250, rs2240403, rs2267710, rs2190242, rs2284217, and rs2284220) were genotyped. Subjects' psychological states were evaluated using the Perceived-Stress Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Self-Rating Depression Scale.We found that rs4722999 and rs3779250, located in intronic region, were associated with IBS in terms of genotype frequency (rs4722999: P = 0.037; rs3779250: P = 0.017) and that the distribution of the major allele was significantly different between patients and controls. There was a significant group effect (controls vs. IBS), and a CRHR2 genotype effect was observed for three psychological scores, but the interaction was not significant. We found a haplotype of four SNPs (rs4722999, rs3779250, rs2240403, and rs2267710) and two SNPs (rs2284217 and rs2284220) in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' > 0.90). We also found that haplotypes of the CRHR2 gene were significantly different between IBS patients and controls and that they were associated with negative emotion.Our findings support the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of CRHR2 are related to IBS. In addition, we found associations between CRHR2 genotypes and haplotypes and negative emotion in IBS patients and controls. Further studies on IBS and the CRH system are warranted.

Project description:Background & aimsVariations in genes that regulate bile acid (BA) synthesis are associated with colonic transit in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We investigated features of BA synthesis and excretion and genetic features of patients with different types of IBS.MethodsIn 26 healthy volunteers, 26 patients with IBS and constipation (IBS-C), and 26 with IBS and diarrhea (IBS-D), we measured serum levels of 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4; a surrogate for BA synthesis) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 19 (an ileal hormone that downregulates BA synthesis). For stool samples, we measured concentration of BA, weight, and amount of fat when participants were given high-fat diets. Spearman correlations were used to explore relationships among factors. We analyzed 1 polymorphism in Klotho-β (KLB) and 3 in fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR4) for all members of each group using analysis of covariance.ResultsThe concentration of BA in stool was associated with group (for a comparison of 3 groups; P = .057); it was higher in patients with IBS-D than IBS-C (P = .017). The serum level of C4 was higher in patients with IBS-D than IBS-C (P = .02) or healthy volunteers (P = .01); 38% of patients with IBS-D had increased serum levels of C4, compared with healthy volunteers. Serum level of C4 correlated with stool concentration of BA (rs = 0.606; P < .001), serum FGF19 (rs = -0.324; P = .007), and stool weight (rs = 0.366; P = .003). Stool concentration of BA correlated with weight (rs = 0.737; P < .001) and level of fat (rs = 0.528; P < .001). Body mass index correlated with serum level of C4 (rs = 0.423, P < .001) and stool concentration of BA (rs = 0.507, P < .001), and was higher in patients with IBS-D compared with other groups (overall P = .036). FGFR4 rs1966265 was associated with stool level of BA (P = .032).ConclusionsPatients with IBS-D have greater body mass index and synthesize and excrete higher levels of BA than individuals with IBS-C or healthy volunteers. Serum levels of C4 might be used to identify patients with IBS-D who have BA malabsorption; studies are needed to determine if some patients have a genetic predisposition to this disorder.
