Gene-gene interaction among cell adhesion genes and risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in Chinese case-parent trios.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common birth defect with complex etiology. One strategy for studying the genetic risk factors of NSCL/P is to consider gene-gene interaction (G × G) among gene pathways having a role in craniofacial development. The present study aimed to investigate the G × G among cell adhesion gene pathway. METHODS:We carried out an interaction analysis of eight genes involved in cell adherens junctions among 806 NSCL/P Chinese case-parent trios originally recruited for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Regression-based approach was used to test for two-way G × G interaction, while machine learning algorithm was run for exploring both two-way and multi-way interaction that may affect the risk of NSCL/P. RESULTS:A two-way ACTN1 × CTNNB1 interaction reached the adjusted significance level. The single nucleotide polymorphisms pair composed of rs17252114 (CTNNB1) and rs1274944 (ACTN1) yielded a p value of .0002, and this interaction was also supported by the logic regression algorithm. Higher order interactions involving ACTN1, CTNNB1, and CDH1 were picked out by logic regression, suggesting a potential role in NSCL/P risk. CONCLUSION:This study suggests for the first time evidence of both two-way and multi-way G × G interactions among cell adhesion genes contributing to the NSCL/P risk.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have investigated the relationship between human bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (BMP4) rs17563 polymorphism and nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). However, the results remained inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism on NSCL/P.MethodsElectronic searches in 5 databases were conducted to select all eligible studies up to March 2017. Odds ratios (ORs) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the results stability by excluding each study in turn. Publication bias was assessed by Begg funnel plots and Egger test.ResultsA total of 11 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled frequency of the minor allele C for BMP4 rs17563 was lower in Asians (pooled frequency = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.29-0.37) than in Brazilian population (pooled frequency = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.40-0.54). The overall results showed no significant association of BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism with NSCL/P risk. However, the results turned out to be different when stratified by ethnicity. BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism was associated with a higher risk of NSCL/P among Asian ethnicity (C vs T: OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.02-1.73; CC vs TT: OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.28-3.43; CC vs TT + TC: OR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.34-3.47) and among Caucasian population (TC vs TT: OR = 3.36, 95% CI: 2.03-5.54; TC + CC vs TT: OR = 3.71, 95% CI: 2.43-5.69). Among Brazilian population, BMP4 rs17563 polymorphism exerted a significantly protective effect on NSCL/P (C vs T: OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.58-0.84; CC vs TT: OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.33-0.88; TC vs TT: OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.44-0.69; TC + CC vs TT: OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.45-0.69).ConclusionThe results suggest that the C allele of BMP4 rs17563 may be a risk factor for NSCL/P among Asians and Caucasians, and may be a protective factor for NSCL/P in Brazilian population. Future large-sample studies with appropriate designs among specific populations are warranted to evaluate the association.
