ABSTRACT: Background
Psoriasis is a complex autoimmune multifactorial disease induced by interaction of environmental and genetic factors. This research aimed to clarify the association of NLRP3 (rs10754558) and PTPN22 (1858C/T) (rs2476601) polymorphisms with susceptibility to psoriasis.Methods
This case-control study involved 150 patients diagnosed with psoriasis and 100 age- and gender-matched apparently healthy individuals. NLRP3 (rs10754558) polymorphism was done by real time PCR and PTPN22 1858C/T (rs2476601) genotype was identified by tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.Results
The genotypes distribution of NLRP3 (rs10754558) were significantly associated with psoriasis (p<0.0001). Whereas for PTPN22 (1858C/T) (rs2476601), no significance was found (p=0.09). NLRP3 (rs10754558) GC genotype revealed a significant association with psoriasis (p<0.0001), mainly among male (p=0.004) patients with mild psoriasis (p=0.001) and affected extremities (p=0.0001).Conclusion
We can conclude that the NLRP3 (rs10754558) GC genotype may play a role in psoriasis susceptibility among male Egyptian populations with affected extremities. Future studies must evaluate its role in the prevention or the treatment of psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, affects approximately 2% of the population worldwide. Although the aetiology of psoriasis is poorly understood, patients with disease of early onset (Type I, age of onset<or=40 years) usually have a strong genetic component to the disease.The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene region in susceptibility to Type I psoriasis.Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to the PTPN22 region were genotyped in 647 patients with Type I psoriasis and 566 normal controls.The rs2476601 (R620W) SNP, widely associated with other inflammatory autoimmune diseases, showed no evidence of association with susceptibility to Type I psoriasis. Two SNPs (rs1217414 and rs3789604) demonstrated significant association with Type I psoriasis and were subsequently genotyped in a further 253 unrelated patients and 2024 normal controls. rs1217414 and rs3789604 were also significantly associated with Type I psoriasis in the combined datasets (P=0.003 and P=0.0002, respectively); furthermore carriage of both risk alleles was also significantly associated (P=0.002).This study demonstrates evidence of association of two SNPs (rs1217414 and rs3789604) in the PTPN22 region with Type I psoriasis, providing evidence for a role of this gene in Type I psoriasis that is not conferred by the R620W variant previously associated with a number of inflammatory diseases.

Project description:BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) are proven to share common risk markers, including genetic factors. In the present study we focused on genetic variants in PTPN22 (rs2476601), PADI4 (rs2240340), CTLA4 genes (rs3087243) and its impact on RA and PD.Materials and methodsIn the study 111 RA patients and 256 systemically healthy controls were involved. A subdivision of patients and controls was carried out according the severity of periodontitis (no/level 1 PD vs. level 2 PD).ResultsI. Evaluating the genetic impact on the occurrence of RA the T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) (bivariate: p < 0.001; multivariate: p = 0.018) and T allele of rs2240340 (PADI4) (bivariate: p = 0.006; multivariate: p = 0.070) were associated with an increased vulnerability to RA. II. Investigating the genetic influence on level 2 PD the T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) was shown to be associated with a higher susceptibility to PD within the RA group (bivariate: p = 0.043; multivariate: p = 0.024). III. The T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) was proven to be a significant marker of RA and level 2 PD comorbidity (bivariate: p < 0.001; multivariate: p = 0.028).ConclusionsThese results support the thesis that genetic variations may represent a possible link between PD and RA. The study increases knowledge about disease-specific and cross-disease genetic pattern.

Project description:Vitiligo is characterized by a skin depigmentation disorder resulting from an autoimmune response targeting melanocytes. Within the genetic factors involved in the development of the vitiligo immune response, various genes in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and non-MHC loci have been considered to be risk factors. The PTPN22 gene encodes for a lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase, a regulator of the activation and development of T-cells. The +1858C/T polymorphism has been associated to autoimmune disease susceptibility in different populations and could be implicated in the onset of vitiligo. To assess the possible association between the presence of PTPN22 +1858C/T and vitiligo, 187 patients with vitiligo and 223 control subjects were analyzed in the study. Genomic DNA was isolated using the salting-out method and samples were subjected to polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in order to detect the PTPN22 +1858C/T polymorphism. Causal associations were determined by χ2 test and their respective odds ratio (OR) was assessed in a 2×2 contingency table. The results showed an association between active vitiligo and the allele T load [P=0.0418; OR, 2.5706; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0040-6.5816], and active vitiligo-CT genotype (P=0.0389, OR, 2.6548; 95% CI, 1.0191-6.9156). In conclusion, the present data indicates a possible association between the PTPN22 +1858C/T genotype and a significant susceptibility of developing an active form of vitiligo.

Project description:Leprosy, a human chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), remains endemic in certain countries despite the use of multidrug therapy. Recently, several host genes modulating the immune responses to M. leprae infection have been suggested to influence the acquisition and clinical course of leprosy. Lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase, encoded by the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene, serves a negative regulatory role in T cell activation. The non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2476601 (1858C>T) has been associated with autoimmune diseases. Here, the present study investigated if rs2476601 polymorphism was associated with leprosy in a Mexican mestizo population. Genotyping was performed in patients with leprosy (n=189) and control subjects (n=231) from regions with higher incidence of leprosy. Genotypic (P=0.44) and allelic frequencies (P=0.45) of the rs2476601 polymorphism were similar between patients and controls; genotypic frequencies were 91 vs. 94% for CC and 9 vs. 6% for CT, and the TT genotype was absent in both groups. Allelic frequencies were 96 vs. 97% for C, and 4 vs. 3% for T. In the same way, the genotypic (P=0.46) and allelic frequencies (P=0.47) from MB patients and controls were similar. In conclusion, there was a lack of association of the PTPN22 rs2476601 polymorphism with the development of leprosy, which suggests that this SNP was not a genetic risk factor for leprosy in the Mexican mestizo population studied.

Project description:Background:Psoriasis is a complex autoimmune disease caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. PTPN22 gene polymorphism has been reported to affect psoriasis susceptibility; however, no data are available for Middle Eastern populations. Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the association of PTPN22 (1858C/T) R620W polymorphism with psoriasis in a Saudi cohort. Methods:Saudi subjects (n?=?306) including patients with psoriasis (n?=?106) and matched controls (n?=?200) were studied for PTPN22 variants using tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction method. The frequencies of alleles and genotypes of PTPN22 (1858C/T) polymorphism were compared between patients and controls. Results:The frequency of CT genotype of PTPN22 (1858C/T) polymorphism was significantly higher, whereas that of CC genotype was lower in patients with psoriasis than in controls (P?<?.001, relative risk [RR]?=?7.151). The homozygous genotype TT was absent in both the patients and healthy controls. The frequency of allele T encoding tryptophan (W) was significantly increased (P?<?.001, RR?=?5.76), whereas that of allele C encoding arginine (R) decreased in psoriasis cases as compared with controls (P?<?.001, RR?=?0.173) indicating that individuals carrying allele T are more susceptible to psoriasis than noncarriers. Conclusions:PTPN22 (1858C/T) polymorphism is positively associated with susceptibility of psoriasis in Saudis and can be developed as biomarker for evaluating psoriasis risk. However, further studies on PTPN22 polymorphism in larger samples from different geographical areas and ethnicity are warranted.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Variant R620W of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) has consistently been reported as a susceptibility factor for several autoimmune diseases. We investigated its role in susceptibility to psoriasis, the relevance of possibly other disease-causing variants, and interdependency of the major risk factor for psoriasis at PSORS1. METHODS: R620W was tested in a case-control study initially with 375 German patients and then with an enlarged sample of an additional 418 patients. Analyses were extended to linkage disequilibrium (LD) based haplotypes. Potential interaction between risk haplotypes of PTPN22 and the PSORS1 associated risk allele was tested by regression analysis. PTPN22 coding sequence was determined in 20 patients carrying the risk haplotype. Association and regression analysis were also performed in the extended case-control study. RESULTS: R620W was not associated in either case-control study, while significant association (corrected for multiple testing) with one haplotype (C-4) of the LD block encompassing PTPN22 as well with another haplotype (B-3) within an adjacent telomeric LD block was detected. No evidence for interaction between risk haplotype C-4 and the PSORS1 associated risk allele was found. Sequencing excluded other coding variants within PTPN22 as a basis for association findings. Analysis of the extended study group confirmed association for haplotypes B-3 and C-4 and independence of risk haplotypes C-4 and PSORS1. DISCUSSION: We exclude a major role of *620W in German psoriasis patients but suggest that other susceptibility determinant(s) within non-coding regions of PTPN22 or its proximity might exist acting independently of the major PSORS1 risk factor.

Project description:The 1858T allele in the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) locus shows one of the strongest and most consistent genetic associations with autoimmune diseases. We synthesized all meta-analyses reporting a genetic association of the PTPN22 1858T C/T polymorphism with autoimmune diseases. This work examined their validity to discover false positive results under Bayesian methods. We conducted a PubMed search to identify relevant publications and extracted the respective results, published until 30 November 2018. In observational studies, the associations of 1858 C/T genetic variant were noteworthy for 12 autoimmune or autoimmunity-related diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Crohn's disease, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, vitiligo, Graves' disease, myasthenia gravis, Addison's disease, giant cell arteritis, and endometriosis). In contrast, we could not confirm the noteworthiness for eight diseases (systemic sclerosis, psoriasis, Behçet's disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, alopecia areata, Sjögren's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and ankylosing spondylitis). From the meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with a p-value < 5 × 10-8, findings verified noteworthiness for all autoimmune diseases (psoriatic arthritis, myasthenia gravis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis). The results from meta-analysis of GWAS showing a p-value ranging between 0.05 and 5 × 10-8 were noteworthy under both Bayesian approaches (ANCA-associated vasculitis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, giant cell arteritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis). Re-analysis of observational studies and GWAS by Bayesian approaches revealed the noteworthiness of all significant associations observed by GWAS, but noteworthiness could not be confirmed for all associations found in observational studies.

Project description:To assess the association between PTPN22 1858C>T gene polymorphism and susceptibility to, and clinical presentation of, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our study included 135 SLE patients (120 women and 15 men; mean age 45.1 years; mean course of disease from 0.5 to 31 years) and 201 healthy subjects. The PTPN22 1858C>T gene polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism. A significantly higher incidence of genotype CT in patients with SLE (36.3 %) was found, compared with the control group (24.9 %). The frequencies of C1858 and T1858 alleles were 78.1 and 21.9 % in SLE patients and 86.1 and 13.9 % in controls, respectively. Significantly higher SLE susceptibility was observed in patients carrying at least one T allele (p = 0.009; OR 1.86; 95 % CI 0.14-3.05). Significant association of the PTPN22 T1858 allele (CT + TT vs.CC) and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome was observed (p = 0.049). In SLE patients carrying the T1858 allele, higher levels of antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies and/or lupus anticoagulant) were found (p = 0.030; OR 2.17; 95 % CI 1.07-4.44).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2476601 within protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 gene (PTPN22) has been shown to be a risk factor for different autoimmune diseases. This study explored the association of 1858 C/T SNP with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and celiac disease (CD) in a region covering south-west of Iran. METHODS:Totally, 52 patients with CD, 120 patients with RA, and 120 healthy subjects were selected. The samples were genotyped for the rs2476601 in PTPN22 gene using the tetra-amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:The frequency of +1858T risk allele was significantly increased in both RA (P=0.021, OR=2.56, 95%CI=1.19-5.47) and CD (P=0.002, OR=3.87, 95%CI=1.68-8.95) patients, as compared to the control group. However, no association was found between the +1858C/T PTPN22 gene SNP and the anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide and rheumatoid factor positivity in RA patients. CONCLUSIONS:PTPN22 gene could play a crucial role in people's susceptibility to certain autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by persistent chronic arthritis. Disease risk is believed to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. It is well established that the PTPN22 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2476601 is associated with JIA susceptibility. It was recently reported in an Australian study that this association is restricted to females and is not observed in males. A significant source of inconsistency amongst the literature on autoimmune disease susceptibility genes stems from an inability to replicate genetic findings across different racial or ethnic groups. We therefore attempted to generate further evidence of the female-specific association of rs2476601 in a homogeneous Greek population.We genotyped rs2476601 in 128 Caucasian JIA patients (70.3 % female) and 221 healthy controls (28.1 % female) from Northern Greece. Overall, PTPN22 was associated with increased risk of JIA in this Greek sample (OR?=?2.3, 95 % CI 1.1 - 5.1, p?=?0.038). Sex-stratified analyses showed that, once again, the risk association was restricted to females (Female: OR?=?19.9, 95 % CI 1.2 - 342, p?=?0.0016; Male: OR?=?1.1, 95 % CI 0.3 - 3.1, p?=?0.94) supporting the prior findings.Our data demonstrates that this sex-specific pattern of association is broadly applicable to different populations, and provides further impetus to undertake mechanistic studies to understand the impact of sex on PTPN22 in JIA.
