Multiple Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Exfoliation Syndrome in the Uygur Population.

ABSTRACT: Background:Our previous data suggested that three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1048661, rs3825942, and rs2165241, of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene (LOXL1) are significantly associated with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). The following study investigated other SNPs that potentially effect XFS/XFG. Methods:A total of 216 Uygur patients diagnosed with XFS/XFG, and 297 Uygur volunteers were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital at Xinjiang Medical University between January 2015 and October 2017. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture. Alleles and genotypes of LOXL1, TBC1D21, ATXN2, APOE, CLU, AFAP1, TXNRD2, CACNA1A, ABCA1, GAS7, and CNTNAP2 were analyzed by direct sequencing. Results:The allele G of rs41435250 of LOXL1 was a risk allele for XFS/XFG (P < 0.001), whereas the allele G of rs893818 of LOXL1 was a protective allele for XFS/XFG (P < 0.001). After adjusting all data for age and gender, the following results were obtained: the frequency of genotype CC for rs7137828 of ATXN2 was significantly higher in XFS/XFG patients than in controls (P = 0.027), while no significance was found with reference to the frequency of genotype TT. The frequency of genotype GG for rs893818 of LOXL1 (P < 0.001) and the frequency of genotype AA were both significantly higher in XFS/XFG groups compared to the control group (P < 0.001). In addition, the frequency of genotype TT for rs41435250 of LOXL1 was higher in XFS/XFG patients than in controls (P = 0.003), while no significant difference was found with reference to the frequency of genotype GG after adjusting for age and gender. In addition, the haplotypes G-A/T-G/G-G for rs41435250 and rs893818 were significantly associated with XFS/G. Conclusions:With reference to LOXL1, the rs41435250 resulted as a risk factor and rs893818 as a protective factor for XFS/XFG in the Uygur populations. Meanwhile, the rs16958445 of TBC1D21 and the rs7137828 of ATXN2 have also shown to be associated with pathogenesis of XFS/XFG.

Project description:PurposeIn Uygur populations, exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) occurred at a high frequency. In this study, we evaluate the association profiles of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene polymorphisms with XFS in the Uygur population.MethodsSixty-four unrelated Uygur patients with XFS and 127 Uygur control subjects were included in this study. Genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LOXL1 (rs1048661, rs2165241, and rs3825942) were analyzed by direct sequencing, and a case-control association study was performed.ResultsThe three SNPs were significantly associated with XFS and XFG individually. The G allele of rs1048661 (OR [95%CI]: 1.92 [1.14-3.22]), G of rs3825942 (OR [95%CI]: 4.86 [2.02-11.68]), and T of rs2165241 (OR [95%CI]: 3.98 [2.54-6.25]) were risk alleles for the disorder. The genotypes GG for rs1048661 (OR [95%CI]: 2.13 [1.14-3.97]), GG for rs3825942 (OR [95%CI]: 5.68 [2.28-14.17]), and TT for rs2165241 (OR [95%CI]: 6.13 [2.68-14.01]) were risk genotypes for the disease. The haplotypes G-G for the SNPs rs1048661and rs3825942, G-T for the SNPs rs1048661 and rs2165241, and SNPs rs3825942 and rs2165241 were found to be significantly associated with XFS/G. The haplotypes G-G-T for the three SNPs were determined to be significantly associated with XFS/G. There were significant differences of the allelic and genotypic proportion in different gender/age patients and controls for all three SNPs. T allele of rs2165241 and G of rs3825942 were risk alleles for the disorder in both the male and female groups. G allele of rs1048661 was a risk allele for the disorder in the below 65-year-old group. T of rs2165241 was a risk allele for the disorder in both age groups. G of rs3825942 was a risk allele for the disorder in the over 65-year-old group. The genotypes also showed significant differences in the below 65-year-old group of rs1048661, both groups of rs2165241, and over 65-year-old group of rs3825942.ConclusionsLOXL1 is a susceptibility gene of XFS/XFG in Uygur populations. The risk alleles of rs1048661, rs3825942 and rs2165241 in Uygur subjects were found to be similar to those of populations in Iceland and the United States and different from Han populations in China. The genotypic and allelic distributions of these SNPs are similar between XFS and XFG.
