Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Atopic Dermatitis in Chinese Han Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies investigated the associations between four Vitamin D receptor (VDR) common variations and interactions of gene-environment factors and atopic dermatitis (AD) in Chinese population are few.

Methods

In this case-control study, 400 AD patients and 400 controls were genotyped for the FokI, TaqI, BsmI and ApalI variations of VDR genes by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The associations between VDR genes and AD were assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The interactions between VDR genes and some risk factors were also explored using cross-over analysis. The corresponding odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated.

Results

The FoKI rs2228570 polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of atopic dermatitis in the co-dominant model (OR=2.93, 95% CI: 1.78-4.82. P=0.000), recessive model (OR=2.67, 95% CI: 1.68-4.26, P=0.000) and dominant model (OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.04-1.84, P=0.028), and allele model. No significant associations were found among TaqI, BsmI and ApalI polymorphism and AD. The C-A-T-C and C-G-T-T haplotypes significantly increased the risk of atopic dermatitis. For rs2228570, the increased effects were more evident in the subgroups of age ≤8-month, cow milk and mixed, and keeping pet. Interactions between rs2228570 gene polymorphism and family history, age >8, and keeping pet increased the AD risk. The rs2228570 C allele decreased the relative mRNA expression.

Conclusion

The FokI rs2228570 C allele of VDR gene could be a risk candidate gene for AD. Interactions between FokI polymorphism and family history and some behaviors may increase the risk of AD.

TLR4 polymorphisms as potential predictors of atopic dermatitis in Chinese Han children.

Project description:BackgroundToll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of atopic dermatitis (AD). In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between TLR4 gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility or severity of AD among Chinese Han children.MethodsA total of 132 AD patients and 100 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs19277914, rs11536891, rs7869402, and rs11536889) of the TLR4 gene were genotyped by multiplex PCR combined with next-generation sequencing.ResultsOur results showed that a significantly reduced risk for AD was associated with C allele [p = 0.008; odds ratio (OR) = 0.41, C vs. T], TC genotype (p = 0.022; OR = 0.41, TC vs. TT), and TC + CC genotype (p = 0.010; OR = 0.39, TC + CC vs. TT) of TLR4 rs11536891. The frequency of the haplotype GCCG (rs1927914-rs11536891-rs7869402-rs11536889) in AD patients was lower than that in the controls (p = 0.010; OR = 0.38). Moreover, the results indicated that a higher risk of severe AD was related to the T allele (p = 0.019; OR = 2.97, T vs. C) and the TC genotype (p = 0.021; OR = 3.34, TC vs. CC) of TLR4 rs7869402. A risk haplotype of TLR4 (GTTG) was found in severe AD patients (p = 0.010; OR = 5.26).ConclusionsOur data suggested that TLR4 rs11536891 polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility to AD in Chinese Han children. And TLR4 rs7869402 might confer the severity of pediatric AD patients.

Association between IL-6 polymorphisms and Atopic Dermatitis in Chinese Han children.

Project description:IntroductionAtopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects almost 20% of children and 2 -10% of adults worldwide. Previous studies revealed that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an essential role in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate the associations between IL-6 polymorphisms and AD.MethodsBlood samples were collected from 132 AD patients and 100 controls, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-6 (rs2069840 (C/G), rs2066992 (G/T), rs2069837 (A/G) and rs1800796 (G/C)) were analyzed using Multiplex PCR-Based Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).ResultsResults showed that the A/G genotype of IL-6/rs2069837 was significantly associated with a 1.933-fold increased risk of AD compared to those patients with A/A genotype (OR 1.933; 95%CI 1.086-3.438; p=0.024). The combined A/G-G/G genotype raised AD risk by 1.856 times compared to patients with the A/A genotype in dominant model (OR: 1.856; 95% CI: 1.056-3.261; p=0.030). No association was observed for 3 other SNPs and 4 haplotypes.DiscussionThese findings suggested that the A/G genotype of IL-6/rs2069837 was more susceptible to AD than A/A genotype in Chinese Han children, indicating the risk role of IL-6/rs2069837 in the occurrence of AD.

Associations between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and chronic spontaneous urticaria in Chinese Han population.

Project description:IntroductionPrevious studies found that vitamin D receptor (VDR) TaqI, BsmI, FokI and ApaI gene polymorphisms are associated with several inflammatory diseases. However, the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is not clear.AimThe purpose of our study was to explore the relationship between the polymorphism of VDR and the incidence of chronic spontaneous urticaria in the Chinese Han population. Meanwhile, the vitamin D levels in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria were also detected and the effects of VDR gene polymorphism on vitamin D levels were detected.Material and methodsThe genotypes of four VDR polymorphisms (TaqI, BsmI, ApaI, and FokI) were studied using allele-specific PCR analysis in 90 CSU patients and 90 healthy controls.ResultsCompared to the control group, the mutant allele (C) of FokI were more common in patients with CSU (57.2% vs. 45%, p = 0.020, odds ratio (OR) = 0.612, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.403-0.928). We found that serum vitamin D levels were significantly lower in CSU patients than in healthy controls (p = 0.023). However, the effect of VDR gene polymorphism on vitamin D levels was not found in patients of CSU.ConclusionsWe first reported the effect of VDR gene FokI (rs2228570) polymorphism on the incidence of chronic spontaneous urticaria in the Chinese Han population.

Association analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms at five loci: comparison between atopic dermatitis and asthma in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:Atopic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma, are closely related to clinical phenotypes with hypersensitivity, and often share some similar genetic and pathogenic bases. Our recent GWAS identified three susceptibility gene/loci FLG (rs11204971 and rs3126085), 5q22.1 (rs10067777, rs7701890, rs13360927 and rs13361382) and 20q13.33 (rs6010620) to AD. The effect of these AD associated polymorphisms in asthma is so far unknown. To investigate whether AD relevant genetic variants is identical to asthma and reveal the differences in genetic factors between AD and asthma in Chinese Han population, seven AD associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as well as 3 other SNPs (rs7936562 and rs7124842 at 11q13.5 and rs4982958 at 14q11.2) from our previous AD GWAS were genotyped in 463 asthma patients and 985 controls using Sequenom MassArray system. We found rs4982958 at 14q11.2 was significantly associated with asthma (P?=?3.04×10(-4), OR?=?0.73). We also detected one significant risk haplotype GGGA from the 4 SNPs (rs10067777, rs7701890, rs13360927 and rs13361382) at 5q22.1 in AD cases (P(correction)?=?3.60×10(-10), OR?=?1.26), and the haplotype was suggestive of risk in asthma cases in this study (P?=?0.014, P(correction)?=?0.084, OR?=?1.38). These SNPs (rs11204971, rs3126085, rs7936562, rs712484 and rs6010620) at AD susceptibility genes/loci FLG, 11q13.5 and 20q13.33 were not associated with asthma in this study. Our results further comfirmed that 14q11.2 was an important candidate locus for asthma and demonstrated that 5q22.1 might be shared by AD and asthma in Chinese Han population.

Association study between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and asthma in the Chinese Han population: a case-control study.

Project description:BackgroundModulation of the immune system is one of the principal roles of Vitamin D, for which the effects are exerted via the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Importantly, variants in the VDR gene have been susceptible in the past to raise the risk of asthma in several populations. These effects of VDR allelic markers remain speculative in the Chinese Han population.ResultsA case-control study of 1090 individuals including 567 asthmatic patients was realized on five SNPs within the VDR gene. Only rs7975232 (ApaI) marker showed a significant association with asthma (P = 0.009). Haplotype analysis of the five VDR polymorphisms showed a significant association with asthma (global-p value = 0.012).ConclusionAlthough the susceptibility of VDR gene variants with asthma could not be confirmed for all SNPs tested in this study, the significant association obtained for rs7975232 provides evidence for a previously unknown report about the Chinese Han population and may raise the susceptibility of VDR to be a candidate gene for asthma.

Filaggrin gene mutation c.3321delA is associated with various clinical features of atopic dermatitis in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundWe confirmed that the filaggrin gene mutation c.3321delA is associated with atopic dermatitis in our previous genome wide association study of the Chinese Han population. c.3321delA is the most common filaggrin gene mutation in Chinese atopic dermatitis patients but is not present in European populations.ObjectiveTo investigate the genetic model for the c.3321delA mutation and to determine the correlation between c.3321delA and atopic dermatitis clinical phenotypes in the Chinese Han population.MethodThe filaggrin gene mutation c.3321delA was sequenced in 1,080 atopic dermatitis patients and 908 controls from the Chinese population. The χ2 test, ANOVA,nonparametric tests and logistic regression were used to investigate the relationship between the c.3321delA genotype and atopic dermatitis clinical phenotypes in the Chinese Han population.ResultsAnalyses of the genetic model revealed that the additive model best described the c.3321delA mutation (P = 3.09E-11, OR = 3.43, 95%CI = 2.38-4.96). Stratified analyses showed that the c.3321delA allele frequency distribution is significantly associated with concomitant skin xerosis (P = 1.68E-03, OR = 2.13,95%CI = 1.32-3.46), palmar hyperlinearity (P = 3.64E-17, OR = 4.0,95%CI = 2.86-5.70), white dermatographism (P = 4.25E-03, OR = 1.82,95%CI = 1.22-2.71), food intolerance (P = 1.51E-03, OR = 1.76,95%CI = 1.23-2.50) and disease severity ( P = 9.67E-05).ConclusionOur study indicates that the filaggrin gene mutation c.3321delA is associated with clinical phenotypes of atopic dermatitis in the Chinese Han population, which might help us gain a better understanding on the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

Association of vitamin d receptor-a gene polymorphisms with coronary heart disease in Han Chinese.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To assess the association between coronary heart disease (CHD) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms in Han Chinese adults. METHODS:A total of 215 CHD patients and 67 controls were recruited. In both groups, the VDR gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of Tru9I (rs757343), ApaI (rs7975232), TaqI (rs731236) and FokI (rs2228570) were detected, and the frequencies of VDR genotypes were compared between patients and controls. The relationship between VDR FokI genotype and risk for CHD was assessed by logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age and sex. In addition, the clinical parameters and biochemical characteristics of CHD subgroups were compared according to the VDR FokI polymorphism. RESULTS:The frequencies of FokI genotypes in CHD patients were 23.7% for AA, 47.9% for AG, and 28.4% for GG. The frequency of FokI-GG genotype significantly decreased in CHD patients as compared to control group (P = 0.039). No significant differences were observed in other VDR SNPs (rs7975232, rs731236 and rs757343) (P > 0.05) between groups. FokI-A allele carriers had a 2.61-fold increase in the odds (95% CI: 1.116-6.102, P = 0.027) as compare to CHD subjects with FokI mutation. In CHD subgroup, patients with GG genotype had a significantly higher concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than those with AG genotype or A* genotype (P = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION:VDR FokI polymorphisms appear to be associated with CHD. GG genotype predicts a higher HDL-cholesterol in CHD adults.

Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and periodontitis in a Taiwanese Han population.

Project description:Background/purpose:: Genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to the immune response and bone metabolism, both of which are implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. This study was to investigate the association between VDR-gene polymorphisms and periodontitis among a Taiwanese Han ethnic population. Materials and methods:Ninety-two aggressive periodontitis (AgP), 385 chronic periodontitis (CP) and 163 healthy controls (HC) were recruited from dental clinics. Demographic characteristics and possible confounding factors were obtained using a self-reported questionnaire. The VDR rs731236 (TaqI), rs7975232 (ApaI), rs1544410 (BsmI), and rs2228570 (FokI) polymorphisms were genotyped using PCR-RFLP methods. Statistical analyses were applied to determine the associations. Results:The individual VDR polymorphisms were not associated with risk of AgP and CP. The f allele of rs2228570 was related to decreased risk for AgP. Subjects with TAbF (adjusted OR = 7.2, 95% CI = 3.2-7.2, p < 0.0001) or TAbf (adjusted OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.05-0.48, p = 0.002) combined polymorphisms were significantly associated with AgP. Subjects with Tabf (adjusted OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.8-3.8, p < 0.0001), TAbF (adjusted OR = 4.4, 95% CI = 2.6-8.1, p < 0.0001), TabF (adjusted OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.2-0.5, p < 0.0001), or TAbf (adjusted OR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.3-0.7, p = 0.001) combined polymorphisms were significantly associated with CP. Conclusion:The study indicates that VDR gene polymorphisms are associated with AgP and CP in a Taiwanese Han population.

Association of Leptin Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Keloids in the Chinese Han Population.

Project description:BACKGROUND The association between leptin receptor (LEPR) polymorphisms and keloids is still unclear. Our study aimed to explore the association between LEPR gene polymorphisms and keloids in the Chinese Han population. MATERIAL AND METHODS We implemented a case-control study in a cohort of 352 keloid patients and 299 healthy controls to analyze the correlation between 4 SNPs (rs1137101, rs1938496, rs6588147, and rs7555955) and keloids. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood by using TGuide M16 (Tiangen). Genotyping of LEPR SNPs was performed using an improved multiple ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) by Shanghai Genesky Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. RESULTS We found that patients caring the AA genotype of rs1137101 and the CC genotype rs1938496 tend to have the increased risk of keloids (P=0.026, P=0.047). Carrying the GA, AA gene type, and G allele frequencies of rs7555955, patients were more likely to have to keloids (P=0.030, P=0.016, P=0.018, respectively). There were no significant differences in genotype distribution and allele frequencies of rs6588147 between cases and controls. The association of rs1137101 and rs7555955 under dominant, recessive, and allele models exhibited significant differences among family-history keloid patients, no-family-history keloid groups, and normal controls (χ²=6.471, P=0.039; χ²=6.477, P=0.039; χ²=6.197, P=0.045, respectively). Similarly, the OR of rs1137101 in the recessive model was significantly higher in patients with a family history of keloids than those in controls. Nonetheless, there are significant ORs of rs1938496 and rs6588147 among the mild-moderate keloid, severe keloid, and control groups. CONCLUSIONS The LEPR gene polymorphisms are associated with keloid formation and severity, especially in patients with a positive family history.
