G6PD genetic variations in neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesian Deutromalay population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Neonatal jaundice is a common finding in newborns in Asia, including Indonesia. In some cases, the serum total bilirubin levels exceeds the 95th percentile for hours of life (neonatal hyperbilirubinemia). Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) could lead to kernicterus and neonatal death. Glucose-6-Phosphage Dehydrogenase (G6PD) genetic variations and deficiency have been reported in several studies to be associated with NH. This study aimed to analyze the G6PD genetic variations and its activity in neonates with and without hyperbilirubinemia in the Deutromalay Indonesian population. METHODS:Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) was isolated from peripheral blood of 116 and 115 healthy term neonates with and without hyperbilirubinemia. All infants underwent the following laboratory examinations: routine hematologic evaluation, Coombs test, G6PD activity measurement using the Randox kit method, and serum total bilirubin level. All exons of the G6PD gene were targeted for deep sequencing using MiSeq (Illumina). An association study of G6PD polymorphisms with NH was performed using PLINK. RESULTS:The prevalence of G6PD deficiency in neonates with and without hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesian Deutromalay population were 1.72% (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.6-4.1%) and 1.74% (95% CI: 0.7-4.1%), respectively. The most common G6PD polymorphisms, i.e. rs1050757/c.*?+?357A?>?G, rs2230037/c.1311C?>?T, and rs2071429/c.1365-13?T/IVS11, were identified. However, none of those polymorphisms and their haplotype were associated with NH (p?>?0.05, Odds Ratio (OR) ~1.00). The prevalence of G6PD mutations in neonates with and without hyperbilirubinemia were 6.8% (95% CI: 2.3-11.5%) and 6.9% (95% CI: 2.3-11.6%), respectively. The most frequently identified G6PD mutation was the Viangchan variant (p.V291?M), which was followed by the Canton (p.R459L) and Vanua Lava (p.L128P) variants. Two novel mutations were identified both in case (p.V369A, p.I167F) and control (p.L474=, p.I36T) groups. CONCLUSION:The prevalence of G6PD deficiency is low in neonates with or without hyperbilirubinemia in Deutromalay Indonesian population. The majority of G6PD mutations identified among Indonesian Deutromalay population in this study are Viangchan, Canton and Vanua Lava variants.

Project description:Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) is common in infants, with extremely preterm infants (EPT, <28 weeks gestational age) being at high risk for bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity, resulting in neurodevelopmental impairment. Hyperbilirubinemia is treated using phototherapy to lower unconjugated bilirubin levels. However, the benefits and risks of phototherapy in EPTs have not been well studied, and bilirubin at low levels may be protective as an antioxidant. Phototherapy is associated with markers of oxidative stress in the plasma, but the effects of phototherapy on the hippocampus (HPC) are not known. Bilirubin and insults associated with EPTs impair hippocampal development, a brain structure critical for cognitive function, but their underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The effects of hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy on the HPC were studied using a Gunn rat model. Jaundiced (jj) and non-jaundiced (Nj) pups were subjected to phototherapy from postnatal day 4 (P4) through P6. The HPC was harvested and processed for RNA sequencing. Serum bilirubin levels were elevated in jj compared to Nj control rats. Phototherapy significantly lowered serum bilirubin levels in jj rats. Compared to Nj rats, 1294 genes were differentially expressed in the jj hippocampal transcriptome and mapped onto the nervous system development, inflammation, and ferroptosis signaling pathways. Phototherapy induces 3297 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in rat hippocampal transcriptome compared to untreated rats. These DEGs were annotated to pathways regulating synaptogenesis, long-term potentiation, and neurogenesis. Both hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy altered expression of 407 genes, which mapped onto hippocampal plasticity functions, including neuritogenesis and long-term potentiation. Our study demonstrates a model for investigating molecular effects of hyperbilirubemia and phototherapy in an EPT-equivalent Gunn rat pup. Our data revealed the effects of hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy on signaling pathways critical for hippocampal development and plasticity.

Project description:Objective: We aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic risk factors associated with neonatal severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: This was a retrospective, 1:1 matched, case-control study. We included 614 neonates diagnosed with severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (serum total bilirubin level ≥425 μmol/L or serum total bilirubin concentration that met exchange transfusion criteria) from the China Neonatal Genomes Project in Children's Hospital of Fudan University. Clinical exome sequencing data were analyzed using a data analysis pipeline of Children's Hospital of Fudan University. The factors associated with severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Interaction analyses were examined between clinical and genetic risk factors. Results: ABO/Rh incompatibility hemolysis (odds ratio [OR] 3.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.32-4.86), extravascular hemorrhage (OR 2.95, 95% CI 2.24-3.89), weight loss (OR 5.46, 95% CI 2.88-10.36), exclusive breastmilk feeding (OR 3.56, 95% CI 2.71-4.68), and the homozygous mutant of UGT1A1 211G>A (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.54-3.59) were all identified as factors significantly associated with severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The presence of UGT1A1 211G>A mildly increased the risk of severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by ABO/Rh incompatibility hemolysis (OR 3.98, 95% CI 2.19-7.23), although the effect is not statistically significant. Conclusion: ABO/Rh incompatibility hemolysis, extravascular hemorrhage, weight loss, exclusive breastmilk feeding, and the homozygous mutant of UGT1A1 211G>A were found to be risk factors for severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Clinical factors remain the most crucial and preventable determinants in managing severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, with a minimal genetic contribution. The establishment of preconception care practices and the reinforcement of screening for the aforementioned risk factors are essential steps for preventing severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:It has been established that genetic factors play a substantial role in the development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The population of Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries has similar, yet different genetic makeup compared to the rest of Asia. Aside from UGT1A1, variants of SLCO1B1 have also been known to contribute to the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Asian populations. Since there has been no report on SLCO1B1 polymorphism in relation with hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesia, this study aims to explore incidence of SLCO1B1*1B polymorphism in Indonesia based on 3 hospitals from different provinces and population, and their association with hyperbilirubinemia severity. METHODS:Our study included 88 neonates with mild and moderate-severe hyperbilirubinemia from 3 NICU in hospitals representing homogenous and heterogenous populations: Biak General Hospital Papua, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (Jakarta), and M Yunus Hospital (Bengkulu). We collected samples between November 2016 and September 2017. DNA was obtained from existing samples of the patients from previous studies and were subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction - Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We analyzed the *1B variant located in exon 5 of SLCO1B1 with TaqI restriction endonuclease. Clinical, demographic, and laboratory data was also collected from medical records and parents' interviews. RESULTS:The most dominant variant of SLCO1B1*1B in our population is the homozygous G/G (68.18%), followed by heterozygous A/G (26.14%), and wild type A/A (5.68%). The heterozygous A/G had an Odds Ratio (OR) of 0.73 (95% CI 0.10-5.2) and homozygous G/G with OR of 0.51 (95%CI 0.08-3.27), both were not significant. Genotypic distribution across the different centers were also similar and not significant. The significant risk factors for moderate-severe hyperbilirubinemia were the population the neonate originated from (p =?<?0.001) and the delivery location (p =?0.001), while SLCO1B1*1B was not associated with the different severity of hyperbilirubinemia. CONCLUSIONS:SLCO1B1*1B is not associated with higher bilirubin levels among neonates with hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesia. Further study is needed to find other potentially important genetic polymorphisms in the development of severe hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesia.
