Distribution of Intracranial Major Artery Stenosis/Occlusion According to RNF213 Polymorphisms.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion (ICASO) is the major cause of ischemic stroke. Recent studies have suggested that variants of RNF213, a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease (MMD), are also related to non-MMD ICASO. Regarding the predominant involvement of steno-occlusion on anterior circulation in MMD, we hypothesized that the ICASO distribution pattern (anterior/posterior) in non-MMD may differ according to RNF213 variants. This study analyzed 1024 consecutive Korean subjects without MMD who underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). We evaluated four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exon region of RNF213: 4448G > A (rs148731719), 4810G > A (rs112735431), 4863G > A (rs760732823), and 4950G > A (rs371441113). Associations between RNF213 variants and anterior/posterior ICASO were examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Anterior ICASO was present in 23.0% of study subjects, and posterior ICASO was present in 8.2%. The GA genotype of RNF213 4810G > A (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) [95% confidence interval (CI)], 2.39 [1.14-4.87] compared to GG; p = 0.018) and GA genotype of RNF213 4950G > A (AOR [95% CI], 1.71 [1.11-2.63] compared to GG; p = 0.015) were more frequent in subjects with anterior ICASO. The genotype frequency of RNF213 4863G > A differed significantly according to the presence of posterior ICASO. Further investigations of the functional and biological roles of RNF213 will improve our understanding of the pathomechanisms of ICASO and cerebrovascular disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The p.R4810K and other rare variants of ring finger protein 213 gene (RNF213) were illustrated as susceptibility variants for moyamoya (MMD) and non-moyamoya intracranial artery stenosis/occlusion disease (ICASO) recently. However, the effect sizes of p.R4810K were in great discrepancy even in studies of the same ethnic population and firm conclusions of other rare variants have been elusive given the small sample sizes and lack of replication. Thus, we performed this study to quantitatively evaluate whether or to what extent the rare variants of RNF213 contribute to MMD and ICASO in different populations. METHODS:A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, ISI web of science, CNKI, and WANFANG DATA was conducted up to 5 September 2017. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random- or fixed-effect models based on the between-study heterogeneity. The subgroup analyses were performed by the ethnicity and family history. Sensitivity and publication bias analysis were performed to test the robustness of associations. All the statistical analyses were conduct using STATA 12.0. RESULTS:Twenty studies including 2353 MMD cases and 5488 controls and 11 studies including 1778 ICASO cases and 3140 controls were included in this study. Pooled ORs indicated that RNF213 p.R4810K significantly increased MMD and ICASO risk in East Asians with great effect sizes of discrepancy (dominant model: odds ratios 184.04, 109.77, and 31.53 and 10.07, 28.52, and 5.59 for MMD and ICASO, respectively, in Japan, Korea, and China). It significantly increased familial MMD risk in Japan, Korea, and China with 5 ~ 36 times larger effect sizes than that for sporadic ones in each country (dominant model ORs 1802.44, 512.42, 1109.02 and 134.35, 99.82, and 30.52, respectively, for familial and sporadic cases). The effect sizes of RNF213 p.R4810K to sporadic MMD were 3 ~ 4 times larger in Japan and Korea than those in China. RNF213 p.R4810K also increased the ICASO risk in Japan and Korea with 2 ~ 4 times larger effect sizes than that in China (dominant model ORs 10.71, 28.52, and 5.59, respectively). Another two rare variants- p.E4950D and p.A5021V significantly increased MMD risk in Chinese population (dominant model ORs 9.06 and 5.01, respectively). Various other rare variants in RNF213 were identified in Japanese, Chinese, European, and Hispanic American populations without association evidence available yet. CONCLUSIONS:This meta-analysis shows the critical roles of RNF213 p.R4810K in MMD especially familial MMD and ICASO in Japan, Korea, and China. Except for RNF213 p.R4810K, MMD seems to have more complex determiners in China. Distinct genetic background exists and other environmental or genetic factor(s) may contribute to MMD. Studies focused on delineating the ethnicity-specific factors and pathological role of RNF213 variants in MMD and ICASO are needed.
