Association between the HLA-DQA1 rs2187668 polymorphism and risk of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the rs2187668 polymorphism in the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) complex class II HLA-DQ a-chain 1 (HLA-DQA1) gene and idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) risk, which provided new insight into potential new targets for the treatment of iMN. However, this relationship remains inconclusive. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between this polymorphism and iMN susceptibility by performing a meta-analysis. METHODS:Articles were identified in the PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Cochran Library databases. Meta-analyses were performed for rs2187668 allele frequency, genotypes, and the association with iMN susceptibility. Subgroup analyses, publication bias and sensitivity analyses were also conducted. RESULTS:11 eligible studies (3209 cases and 7358 controls) from 7 articles were included. Statistical analyses were carried out using Stata 12.0, combining data from all the relevant studies. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) regarding the association between the HLA-DQA1 rs2187668 polymorphism and iMN risk were statistically significant [A vs G: OR?=?3.34, 95% confidence interval (CI)?=?2.70-4.13; AA vs GA?+?GG: OR?=?8.69, 95% CI?=?6.64-11.36; GG vs GA?+?AA: OR?=?0.25, 95% CI?=?0.19-0.33;AA vs GG: OR?=?12.61, 95% CI?=?8.02-19.81; GA vs GG: OR?=?3.45, 95% CI?=?2.79-4.25]. CONCLUSIONS:Our pooled analysis showed a significant association between rs2187668-(A) allele and iMN susceptibility, and the intervention of this mutation might bring new therapeutic strategy for iMN. However, further studies should be performed to confirm this finding.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within HLA complex class II HLA-DQ ?-chain 1 (HLA-DQA1) and M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) genes were identified as strong risk factors for idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) development in a recent genome-wide association study. Copy number variants (CNVs) within the Fc gamma receptor III (FCGR3) locus have been associated with several autoimmune diseases, but their role in IMN has not been studied. This study aimed to validate the association of HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 risk alleles with IMN in a Spanish cohort, test the putative association of FCGR3A and FCGR3B CNVs with IMN, and assess the use of these genetic factors to predict the clinical outcome of the disease. DESIGN, SETTINGS, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: A Spanish cohort of 89 IMN patients and 286 matched controls without nephropathy was recruited between October of 2009 and July of 2012. Case-control studies for SNPs within HLA-DQA1 (rs2187668) and PLA2R1 (rs4664308) genes and CNVs for FCGR3A and FCGR3B genes were performed. The contribution of these polymorphisms to predict clinical outcome and renal function decline was analyzed. RESULTS: This study validated the association of these HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 SNPs with IMN in a Spanish cohort and its increased risk when combining both risk genotypes. No significant association was found between FCGR3 CNVs and IMN. These results revealed that HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 genotype combination adjusted for baseline proteinuria strongly predicted response to immunosuppressive therapy. HLA-DQA1 genotype adjusted for proteinuria was also linked with renal function decline. CONCLUSION: This study confirms that HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 genotypes are risk factors for IMN, whereas no association was identified for FCGR3 CNVs. This study provides, for the first time, evidence of the contribution of these HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 polymorphisms in predicting IMN response to immunosuppressors and disease progression. Future studies are needed to validate and identify prognostic markers.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) gene polymorphism and idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in Heilongjiang Chinese.MethodsThirty-five patients with IMN confirmed by renal biopsy attending the Heilongjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2021 and December of 2021 were selected as the IMN group, and a group of 25 healthy participants from the Physical Examination Center of Heilongjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled as healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify and genotype 8 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci (rs16844715, rs2715918, rs2715928, rs35771982, rs3749119, rs3828323, rs4665143, and rs6757188) of PLA2R and to analyze the PLA2R gene polymorphisms that correlated with IMN. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis, and the chi-squared (χ2) goodness-of-fit test was used to determine whether each SNP genotype and allele in the PLA2R gene complied with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The qualitative data were analyzed via χ2 or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors, and the odds ratios (ORs) values and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. α=0.05 was taken as the test level, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsStatistically significant differences were found in the genotype and allele frequencies of rs35771982 and rs3749119 between the IMN and control groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the genotypes rs35771982 GG and rs3749119 CC were associated with IMN susceptibility. Statistically significant differences in uric acid level were found between the rs35771982 GG and CG + CC genotypes (P<0.05), while statistically significant differences in serum albumin were detected between rs3749119 CC and the CT + TT genotypes (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, and triglyceride levels affected the occurrence of IMN (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe PLA2R gene polymorphisms rs35771982 and rs3749119 in Heilongjiang Chinese may be related to IMN susceptibility and correlated with clinical indicators of IMN. Gender, age, and triglyceride levels may influence the occurrence of IMN.

Project description:BackgroundBoth Genome-wide associations and our previous study have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and human leukocyte antigen complex class II HLA-DQα-chain 1 (HLA-DQA1) gene were identified to be associated with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). However, whether these SNPs affect clinical manifestation and renal outcome for PMN patients is poorly defined. Here, we evaluated whether there is an association between these SNPs and clinical manifestations and renal outcomes of PMN in a western Chinese cohort.MethodsSeven SNPs within PLA2R and one SNP in HLA-DQA1 were selected in our study. Clinical data from 314 patients with PMN were collected and the relationship between the genotype and phenotype was evaluated. A total of 186 patients had follow-up data. We assessed the treatment responses and renal outcomes between patients with these gene polymorphisms after a median follow-up of 18.6 months.ResultsEight SNPs were not associated with clinical manifestations of PMN patients (Pc < 0.05). rs3828323 T allele was marginally significantly associated with hypertension (P = 0.008, Pc = 0.064, OR = 1.821). After treatment for PMN, the SR group (including CR and PR) had lower serum creatinine level (68.4 ± 18.8 μmol/L vs. 122.8 ± 126.6 μmol/L, P < 0.001), urea (5.5 ± 1.9 mmol/L vs. 8.0 ± 4.0 mmol/L, P < 0.001), uric acid (358.5 ± 95.1 μmol/L vs. 392.8 ± 118.1 μmol/L, P = 0.037) and urinary protein (0.23 (0.76,1.05) g/d vs. 3.01 (2.06,7.95) g/d, P < 0.001), higher eGFR (100.0 ± 20.1 ml/min/1.73m2 vs. 77.1 ± 35.3 ml/min/1.73m2, P < 0.001) and albumin (41.1 ± 5.1 g/L vs.30.4 ± 8.2 g/L, P < 0.001). We also identified that PMN patients with CT/TT genotype for rs3828323 achieved higher cumulative survival rate than patients with CC genotype.ConclusionsRs3828323 may influence hypertension and renal outcome in patients with PMN. Further research is needed to explore the mechanism for this genotype-disease phenotype association.
