Association study of genetic variations of inflammatory biomarkers with susceptibility and severity of obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases health risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Both genetic factors and environmental exposures contribute to the occurrence of OSA. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of four functional inflammatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (VWF rs1063856, IL-6 rs1800796, TNF rs1800629, and CRP rs2794521) in the susceptibility and severity of OSA.

Methods

A case-control study of OSA among Chinese population was conducted. Genotyping was performed using ABI TaqMan SNP genotyping technique.

Results

We found VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.50, 95% CIs = 1.10-2.04; p = 0.010), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.32, 95% CIs = 1.11-1.56; p = 0.002), TNF rs1800629 (OR = 1.44, 95% CIs = 1.13-1.83; p = 0.003), and CRP rs2794521 (OR = 1.27, 95% CIs = 1.04-1.55; p = 0.021) were all significantly associated with increased susceptibility of OSA, while VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.75, 95% CIs = 1.18-2.62; p = 0.006), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.39, 95% CIs = 1.10-1.76; p = 0.006) were associated with the severity of OSA.

Conclusions

Our study indicated that functional variants of inflammatory biomarkers could cause the occurrence of OSA and influence the severity of OSA. These findings further support that inflammatory cytokines were closely related to the occurrence and development of OSA.

Project description:Importance:While much has been reported on the relationship between floppy eyelid syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the diagnostic criteria of floppy eyelid syndrome are often subjective and vague. Objective:To evaluate the association between OSA and quantitative markers of eyelid laxity or secondary ocular surface disease in a sleep clinic population. Design, Setting, and Participants:This investigation was a cross-sectional observational study at the Center for Sleep Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Participants were individuals referred for overnight polysomnography from March 1 to August 30, 2015. Main Outcomes and Measures:Eyelid laxity and ocular surface disease were assessed on bedside ophthalmologic examination. The presence and severity of OSA were determined from polysomnography results. Initial correlation between OSA and ocular surface and eyelid markers was calculated through bivariate linear regression analysis, and the association between ocular symptoms was obtained through bivariate ordered logistic regression. Analysis was repeated adjusting for known associations between OSA and sex, age, body mass index, and medical comorbidities through multivariable analysis. Results:In total, 201 individuals (402 eyes) were enrolled in the study. Their mean (SD) age was 53.2 (13.5) years, 43.3% (n?=?87) were female, 56.7% (n?=?114) were of white race/ethnicity, 26.9% (n?=?54) were black/African American, 4.0% (n?=?8) were Asian, 8.0% (n?=?16) were multiracial or other, and 4.5% (n?=?9) were of unknown race/ethnicity, with 21.9% (n?=?44) of all individuals self-identifying as Hispanic and 75.1% (n?=?151) self-identifying as non-Hispanic. After adjustment, no association was observed between OSA severity and an eyelid laxity score (regression coefficient, 0.85; 95% CI, -0.33 to 0.62; P?=?.40) or an ocular surface score (regression coefficient, 1.09; 95% CI, -0.32 to 0.29; P?=?.93). Through subset analysis, male sex was associated with a higher ocular surface score, while older age and diabetes were associated with a higher eyelid laxity score. Only one patient (0.5%) exhibited findings of floppy eyelid syndrome. Conclusions and Relevance:Among individuals referred for overnight polysomnography, quantitative markers of eyelid laxity were not associated with the presence or severity of OSA. Subset analysis suggests that prior studies may have been limited by confounding variables or the technique of identifying eyelid laxity.
