ABSTRACT: Background
Astrocytoma is a common type of central nervous system tumor. In this study, we investigated the correlation between ST6GAL1 and CYP19A1 polymorphisms and the risk and prognosis of astrocytoma.Methods
A total of 365 astrocytoma patients and 379 healthy controls were genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY system. The correlation between ST6GAL1 and CYP19A1 variants and astrocytoma risk was calculated using logistic regression. The survival rate of patients with astrocytoma was analyzed to evaluate prognosis.Results
We found that the ST6GAL1-rs2239611 significantly decreased the risk of astrocytoma in the codominant model (p = 0.044) and dominant model (p = 0.049). In stratified analyses, CYP19A1-rs2255192 might be associated with a higher risk of astrocytoma among the low-grade subgroup under recessive (p = 0.034) and additive (p = 0.030) models. However, CYP19A1-rs4646 had a risk-decreasing effect on the high-grade subgroup in the codominant model (p = 0.044). The results of Cox regression analysis showed that the CYP19A1-rs2239611 and -rs1042757 polymorphisms were significantly correlated with the prognosis of astrocytoma.Conclusion
Our results suggest that ST6GAL1 and CYP19A1 genes may be a potential biomarker of genetic susceptibility and prognosis to astrocytoma in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:Gliomas are highly malignant with a poor prognosis. Studies have reported that DNA repair genes influence risk for glioma, but its relationship with prognosis is unclear. In this study, we want to explore the relationship between DNA repair genes (XRCC3, XRCC4 and XRCC5) and prognosis of astrocytoma in the Chinese Han population.160 astrocytoma cases were recruited in our study. Survival probabilities were estimated by using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and significant differences were analyzed by using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the associations between genotypes with astrocytoma survival. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multivariable models. All tests were two-sided and p < 0.05 was considered to be significant.The SNP (rs9288516) in XRCC5 (HR: 1.69, 95%CI: 1.04 - 2.77, p = 0.049), surgical approach (HR: 0.61, 95%CI: 0.43 - 0.88, p = 0.003) and chemotherapy (HR: 0.71, 95%CI: 0.50 - 0.99, p = 0.029) were associated with astrocytoma prognosis. Further, the "A/A" genotype of rs9288516 in XRCC5 (HR: 1.67, 95%CI: 1.02 - 2.72, p = 0.042) had significantly outcomes after adjusting for potential confounders, patients with poor tumor differentiation and the coexistence of the unfavorable genotypes.These results suggest that polymorphisms of XRCC5 play an important role in astrocytoma prognosis in the Chinese Han population which could be used in the determination of astrocytoma prognosis in clinical researches.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), one of the global health issues, is a group of metabolic diseases and is affected by several genetic loci in the clinical phenotype. This study intended to ascertain associations between CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 gene polymorphisms with the T2DM risk in Chinese Han.MethodsSeven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in total including five of CYP19A1 (rs4646, rs6493487, rs1062033, rs17601876 and rs3751599) and two of CYP1A2 (rs762551 and rs2470890) from 512 T2DM patients and 515 non-diabetic controls were genotyped in the platform of Agena MassARRAY. SPSS 18.0 was utilized for analyzing genotyping results. Logistic regression models were conducted for the risk assessment by the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsThe results suggested a significant association between genotype GC of rs1062033 with a decreased T2DM risk (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55-0.96, P = 0.025) under the co-dominant (heterozygous) model. The results of stratification analysis with age and gender adjustment revealed that the effects of all selected SNPs in CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 on the T2DM susceptibility were dependent on age, body mass index (BMI) and disease progression (P < 0.05). The haplotype analysis was further conducted and the results indicated that Crs1062033Grs17601876Ars3751599 in CYP19A1 played a protective role (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.25-0.91, P = 0.026) in T2DM patients with diabetic retinopathy.ConclusionThis population-based case-control study suggested that CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 variations might affect the susceptibility of T2DM. The findings provide a theoretical basis for searching the clinical therapeutic markers and attractive drug targets of T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally. Recent studies have revealed that CYP19A1 gene plays a crucial role in cancer initiation and development. The aim of this study was to assess the association of CYP19A1 genetic polymorphisms with the risk of lung cancer in the Chinese Han population.MethodsThis study randomly recruited 489 lung cancer patients and 467 healthy controls. The genotypes of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CYP19A1 gene were identified by the Agena MassARRY technique. Genetic model analysis was used to assess the association between genetic variations and lung cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the effect of four selected SNPs on lung cancer risk.ResultsCYP19A1 rs28757157 might contribute to an increased risk of lung cancer (p = 0.025, OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.03-1.64). In stratified analysis, rs28757157 was associated with an increased cancer risk in the population aged under 60 years, females, smokers, and drinkers. Besides, rs3751592 and rs59429575 were also identified as risk biomarkers in the population under 60 years and drinkers. Meanwhile, a relationship between an enhanced risk of squamous cell carcinoma and rs28757157 was found, while the rs3751592 CC genotype was identified as a risk factor for lung adenocarcinoma development.ConclusionsThis study has identified revealed that the three SNPs (rs28757157, rs3751592, and rs59429575) of CYP19A1 are associated with lung cancer in the Chinese Han population. These findings will provide theoretical support for further functional studies of CYP19A1 in lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe expression of μ-opioid receptor has important role in cognitive dysfunction in Schizophrenia (SZ). The results of studies about the association of polymorphisms of μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) with SZ were inconsistent.MethodsWe conducted a case-control study to investigate the genetic association between OPRM1 polymorphisms and SZ among the Han chinese population. 264 SZ patients and 264 age-matched control subjects were recruited. Four SNPs of OPRM1 were successfully genotyped by using PCR-RFLP.ResultsOf four polymorphisms, rs1799971 and rs2075572 were shown to associate with SZ. Compared with the A allele of rs1799971 and C allele of rs2075572, the G allele of rs1799971 and rs2075572 was associated with an almost 0.46-fold risk (OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.357-0.59, P<0.01) and 0.7-fold risk (OR=0.707, 95% CI: 0.534-0.937, P=0.015) of the occurrence of SZ,. When subjects were divided by gender, rs1799971 remained significant difference only in males (OR=0.309, 95% CI: 0.218-0.439 for G allele, P<0.01), and rs2075572 only in females (OR=0.399, 95% CI: 0.246-0.648 for G allele, P<0.01). In secondary analysis with subsets of patients, the G allele of rs1799971 (compared to the A allele) was associated with a decreased risk of all patients and male patients with apathy symptoms (OR=0.086, 95% CI: 0.048-0.151, P=0.01; OR=0.083, 95% CI: 0.045-0.153, P<0.01), and the G allele of rs2075572 (compared to the C allele) was associated with a decreased risk of all patients and female patients with positive family history (OR=0.468, 95% CI: 0.309-0.71, P<0.01; OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.195-0.593, P<0.01). In addition, haplotype analysis revealed that two SNP haplotypes (A-C-C-G and G-C-C-A) were associated with decreased risks of SZ (P<0.01). The other two (G-C-C-G and G-G-C-G) with increased risks of SZ (P<0.01).ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated for the first time that the OPRM1 polymorphism may be a risk factor for schizophrenia in the Han Chinese. Further studies are needed to give a global view of this polymorphism in pathogenesis of schizophrenia in a large-scale sample, family-based association design or well-defined subgroups of schizophrenia.

Project description:BackgroundNuclear receptor coactivator-3 (NCOA3) is involved in various physiological processes. Emerging evidence from previous studies using animal models suggests that the NCOA3 gene (NCOA3) plays a critical role in lipid metabolism as well as adipogenesis and obesity. The present study aims to investigate the association between NCOA3 SNPs and dyslipidemia in the Chinese Han population.MethodsFive hundred and twenty-nine (529) Chinese Han subjects were recruited. Four tag SNPs (rs2425955G > T, rs6066394T > C, rs10485463C > G, and rs6094753G > A) in NCOA3, selected from the HapMap website, were genotyped using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0, SNPStats and haploview 4.2.ResultsFour SNPs (rs2425955, rs6066394, rs10485463, and rs6094753) were associated with triglyceride levels. Except for SNP rs10485463, genotype distributions and allele frequencies of the other three NCOA3 SNPs (rs2425955, rs6066394, and rs6094753) were significantly different between hypertriglyceridemia subjects and normal group. Significant differences were also observed in allele frequencies and genotype distributions of SNP rs10485463 between low-HDL cholesterolemia subjects and normal group. Carriers of rs2425955 T allele had a lower risk of hypertriglyceridemia compared to GG genotype. Similar results were observed from rs6094753. Subjects with rs6066394 CT genotype had a lower risk of hypertriglyceridemia than those with the TT genotype; however, CC and TT genotypes showed no significant difference in the risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Similar results were found in the association between rs6066394 and hypercholesterolemia. The variant alleles of rs2425955, rs6066394 and rs6094753 were associated with a lower risk of hypertriglyceridemia compared with the wild-type alleles. The G allele of rs10485463 was associated with an increased risk of low-HDL cholesterolemia. In the log-additive model the association between rs2425955 and hypertriglyceridemia remained significant after Bonferroni correction, and genotypes with variant alleles were associated with a lower risk of hypertriglyceridemia.ConclusionsIn summary, this study demonstrated that variation in NCOA3 might influence the risk of dyslipidemia and serum lipid levels in Chinese Han population.

Project description:Numerous developmental genes have been linked to schizophrenia (SZ) by case-control and genome-wide association studies, suggesting that neurodevelopmental disturbances are major pathogenic mechanisms. However, no neurodevelopmental deficit has been definitively linked to SZ occurrence, likely due to disease heterogeneity and the differential effects of various gene variants across ethnicities. Hence, it is critical to examine linkages in specific ethnic populations, such as Han Chinese. The newly identified RhoGAP ARHGAP18 is likely involved in neurodevelopment through regulation of RhoA/C. Here we describe four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ARHGAP18 associated with SZ across a cohort of >2000 cases and controls from the Han population. Two SNPs, rs7758025 and rs9483050, displayed significant differences between case and control groups both in genotype (P = 0.0002 and P = 7.54×10-6) and allelic frequencies (P = 4.36×10-5 and P = 5.98×10-7), respectively. The AG haplotype in rs7758025-rs9385502 was strongly associated with the occurrence of SZ (P = 0.0012, OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.48-0.93), an association that still held following a 1000-times random permutation test (P = 0.022). In an independently collected validation cohort, rs9483050 was the SNP most strongly associated with SZ. In addition, the allelic frequencies of rs12197901 remained associated with SZ in the combined cohort (P = 0.021), although not in the validation cohort alone (P = 0.251). Collectively, our data suggest the ARHGAP18 may confer vulnerability to SZ in the Chinese Han population, providing additional evidence for the involvement of neurodevelopmental dysfunction in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer worldwide, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The marker of progression in lung adenocarcinoma, the main type of NSCLC, has been rarely studied. Programmed death 1 (PD-1) is an effective drug target for the treatment of NSCLC. Our study aimed to examine the PD-1 role in the disease process. The study of the effect of polymorphisms on the progression of lung adenocarcinoma in the Han population of Northeast China may provide a valuable reference for the research and application of these drugs.MethodsChi-square test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and classification efficiency assessment were used to test SNPs of PD-1 in 287 patients and combined with clinical information.ResultsWe successfully identified biomarkers (rs2227981, rs2227982, and rs3608432) that could distinguish between lung adenocarcinoma patients of early stages and late stages. Multiple clinical indicators showed significant differences among different SNPs and cancer stages. Furthermore, this gene was confirmed to effectively distinguish the stages of lung adenocarcinoma with RNA-seq data in TCGA.ConclusionsOut study indicated that the PD-1 gene and the SNPs on it could be used as markers for distinguishing lung adenocarcinoma staging in the Northeast Han population. Our investigation into the link between PD-1 polymorphisms and lung adenocarcinoma would help to provide guidance for the treatment and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Autism, a heterogeneous disease, is described as a genetic psychiatry disorder. Recently, abnormalities at the synapse are supposed to be important for the etiology of autism.SHANK3 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains protein) gene encodes a master synaptic scaffolding protein at postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapse. Rare mutations and copy number variation (CNV) evidence suggested SHANK3 as a strong candidate gene for the pathogenesis of autism. METHODS: We performed an association study between SHANK3 gene polymorphisms and autism in Chinese Han population. We analyzed the association between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SHANK3 gene and autism in 305 Chinese Han trios, using the family based association test (FBAT). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis showed the presence of LD between pairwise markers across the locus. We also performed mutation screening for the rare de novo mutations reported previously. RESULTS: No significant evidence between any SNPs of SHANK3 and autism was observed. We did not detect any mutations described previously in our cohort. CONCLUSION: We suggest that SHANK3 might not represent a major susceptibility gene for autism in Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundChymase is the major angiotensin II (Ang II)-forming enzyme in cardiovascular tissue, with an important role in atrial remodeling. This study aimed to examine the association between chymase 1 gene (CMA1) polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Chinese Han population.MethodsThis case-control study enrolled 126 patients with lone AF and 120 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, all from a Chinese Han population. Five CMA1 polymorphisms were genotyped.ResultsThe CMA1 polymorphism rs1800875 (G-1903A) was associated with AF. The frequency of the GG genotype was significantly higher in AF patients compared with controls (p = 0.009). Haplotype analysis further demonstrated an increased risk of AF associated with the rs1800875-G haplotype (Hap8 TGTTG, odds ratio (OR) = 1.668, 95% CI 1.132-2.458, p = 0.009), and a decreased risk for the rs1800875-A haplotype (Hap5 TATTG, OR = 0.178, 95% CI 0.042-0.749, p = 0.008).ConclusionsCMA1 polymorphisms may be associated with AF, and the rs1800875 GG genotype might be a susceptibility factor for AF in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the correlation between growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) gene polymorphism and the risk and prognosis of prostate cancer in Chinese Han population.MethodsSanger sequencing was used to analyze genotypes at the rs17359906 and rs1951625 loci of the GAS5 gene in 218 prostate cancer patients and 220 healthy controls. The follow-up period was from August 2016 to August 2019, and the relationships between GAS5 gene polymorphisms at the rs17359906 and rs1951625 loci and the recurrence-free survival rate of prostate cancer patients were analyzed.ResultsGAS5 A-allele carriers at the rs17359906 locus were 3.44 times more likely to develop prostate cancer than G-allele carriers (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.38-4.96, P < .001). Carriers of the GAS5 A allele at the rs1951625 locus had a 1.40-fold higher risk of prostate cancer than carriers of the G allele (95% CI: 1.05-1.86, P = .027). Plasma prostate-specific antigen (PSA), body mass index (BMI), and rs17359906 and rs1951625 loci were independent risk factors for prostate cancer. GAS5 AA genotype and A-allele carriers (GA + AA) at the rs1951625 locus were significantly correlated with Gleason scores ≤7 (P < .05). GAS5 genes rs17359906 G > A and rs1951625 G > A were associated with high plasma PSA levels. The recurrence-free survival rate of patients with prostate cancer with AA genotype at the rs17359906 locus of GAS5 (66.67%) was significantly lower than that of the GA genotype (76.47%), whereas the GG genotype was the highest (91.96%), and the difference was statistically significant (P = .002). The recurrence-free survival rate of patients with prostate cancer with the AA genotype at the rs1951625 locus of GAS5 (75.00%) was significantly lower than that of the GA genotype (81.82%), whereas the GG genotype was the highest (87.76%) with a statistically significant difference (P = .025).ConclusionGAS5 rs17359906 G > A and rs1951625 G > A are significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and a reduction in three-year relapse-free survival.
