Role of FN1 and GREB1 gene polymorphisms in endometriosis.

ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder, affecting up to 10% of women of childbearing age, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue at ectopic positions generally within the peritoneum. It is a heritable condition influenced by multiple genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors, with an overall heritability estimated at approximately 50%. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of rs1250248 and rs11674184 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mapping to fibronectin 1 (FN1) and growth regulation by estrogen in breast cancer 1 (GREB1) genetic loci, respectively, with the risk of endometriosis. A total of 166 women with endometriosis (stages I-IV) who were hospitalized for the condition, diagnosed by laparoscopic intervention and histologically confirmed, and 168 normal controls were recruited and genotyped. Genotyping of the rs1250248 and rs11674184 SNPs was performed with TaqMan primer/probe sets. A significant association was detected with the A allele, as well as the AA and AG genotypes of rs1250248 (FN1) in patients with endometriosis, as well as in patients with stage I and II of the disease only. The rs11674184 SNP of the GREB1 gene was not found to be associated with an increased susceptibility to endometriosis either for all patients (stages I-IV) or for subgroups of stage I and II or III and IV of the disease only. Our results demonstrated a genetic association between the rs1250248 (FN1) SNP and endometriosis at both the genotypic and allelic level. However, although rs11674184 of GREB1 constitutes one of the most consistently associated SNPs with endometriosis in European ancestry populations, it was not found to be associated with endometriosis in this study.

Project description:ObjectiveEndometriosis is a common chronic, gynecological disease. Despite many studies on the role of N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) in endometriosis, its clinical significance is unclear. In this study, associations between NAT2 phenotypes as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within NAT2 (i.e. rs1799929, rs1799930, rs1208, and rs1799931) and endometriosis risk were evaluated using a meta-analysis approach.MethodsEmbase, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), Wanfang databases, Cochrane Library for clinical trials, and Web of Science were searched to identify relevant articles. ORs (odds ratios) and 95% CIs (95% confidence intervals) were used to estimate the associations between NAT2 polymorphisms and endometriosis risk. Heterogeneity among included studies was also assessed. In addition, a subgroup analysis of NAT2 phenotypes and endometriosis risk based on ethnicity was performed.ResultsNine case-control studies met the inclusion criteria. The odds ratio was 2.30 (95% CI: 1.61-3.28) for the NAT2 slow acetylation phenotype versus the intermediate + fast acetylation phenotype in the Asian population. These results suggest that Asian individuals with the NAT2 slow acetylation phenotype have a 130% increased risk of endometriosis. A significant association was also found for rs1799930 (OR = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.59-0.92), suggesting that individuals with this mutant genotype have a 26% decreased risk of endometriosis.ConclusionsThe rs1799930 mutant genotypes are associated with a decreased risk of endometriosis. No statistically significant associations were found between rs1799931, rs1208, or rs1799929 and endometriosis. Based on a subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, the NAT2 slow acetylation phenotype was found to increase the risk of endometriosis in Asians. No statistically significant associations were found between the NAT2 slow acetylation phenotype and endometriosis risk in Caucasians. Accordingly, NAT2 phenotypes and SNPs are potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.

Project description:BackgroundTumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is an important cytokine in acute inflammatory response to infective factors. Based on investigation in different populations, it is thought that this response increases in patients with endometriosis due to the presence of cytokines such as TNF-α. This study aimed to examine the association of four TNF-α polymorphisms, namely -238G/A, -308G/A, -857C/T and -863C/A, with susceptibility to endometriosis in an Iranian population.Materials and methodsWe recruited 150 women with endometriosis and 150 women without endometriosis in this case-control study and collected 4 ml of blood from all subjects. After DNA extraction, the polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).ResultsThe allele frequency of TNF-α -863C/A in the case and control groups showed a significant difference [odds ratios (OR)=0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.41-0.99, P=0.047] but the result is not significant when Adjusting for multiple testing (P=0.188). No significant difference in the allele frequencies of -238G/A (OR=1.07, 95% CI=0.51-2.25, P=0.862), -308G/A (OR=0.79, 95% CI=0.43-1.45, P=0.438) and -857C/T (OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.66- 1.61, P=0.887) was observed. We adjusted all four polymorphism genotypes by age and body mass index (BMI), however, no significant difference was detected. There was an association between the case and control and BMI when adjusting by age (OR=1.082, 95% CI=1.009-1.162, P=0.028).ConclusionFor the first time the association of the four polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene with endometriosis has been conducted in women of Iranian origin. The present research reveals the -863 A allele may play a role in incidence of endometriosis among Iranian women. Development of endometriosis among those people with -863 A allele seems low. According to the results, the current study indicates that there might be a correlation between BMI and progression of endometriosis.
