Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Genetic polymorphism, obviously, has a potential clinical role in determining differences in drug efficacy; however, there are no reports about the pharmacogenomic information of the Lahu population. Therefore, our research aimed to screen the genotypic frequencies of the very important pharmacogenomics (VIP) mutations and determined the differences between Lahu and the other 11 populations.Methods
Agena MassARRAY (AgenaMassARRAY) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping technique was used to detect 81 VIP mutations of pharmacogenomics genes in Lahu, and their genotypic frequencies were compared with the other major 11 populations. Chi-square tests were used to identify different loci among these populations. Finally, the genetic structure and pairwise Fst values of Lahu and the other 11 populations were analyzed.Results
We found that the distribution of allele frequencies within different pharmacogenes in Lahu showed significantly different with other populations. Additionally, the pairwise F-statistics (Fst) values and genetic structure revealed the variants in the Lahu population as well were mostly related to the Han Chinese in Beijing, China (CHB) and the Japanese population in Tokyo, Japan (JPT) genetically.Conclusion
This study will provide a theoretical basis for safe drug use and help to establish the appropriate individualized treatment strategies in the Lahu population.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to enrich the pharmacogenomic information of a Blang population (BP) from Yunnan Province in China.MethodsWe genotyped 55 very important pharmacogene (VIP) variants from the PharmGKB database and compared their genotype distribution (GD) in a BP with that of 26 populations by the χ 2 test. The minor allele frequency (MAF) distribution of seven significantly different single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was conducted to compare the difference between the BP and 26 other populations.ResultsCompared with the GD of 55 loci in the BP, among 26 studied populations, GWD, YRI, GIH, ESN, MSL, TSI, PJL, ACB, FIN and IBS were the top-10 populations, which showed a significantly different GD >35 loci. CHB, JPT, CDX, CHS, and KHV populations had a significantly different GD <20 loci. A GD difference of 27-34 loci was found between the BP and 11 populations (LWK, CEU, ITU, STU, PUR, CLM, GBR, ASW, BEB, MXL and PEL). The GD of five loci (rs750155 (SULT1A1), rs4291 (ACE), rs1051298 (SLC19A1), rs1131596 (SLC19A1) and rs1051296 (SLC19A1)) were the most significantly different in the BP as compared with that of the other 26 populations. The genotype frequency of rs1800764 (ACE) and rs1065852 (CYP2D6) was different in all populations except for PEL and LWK, respectively. MAFs of rs1065852 (CYP2D6) and rs750155 (SULT1A1) showed the largest fluctuation between the BP and SAS, EUR, AFR and AMR populations.ConclusionOur data can provide theoretical guidance for safe and efficacious personalized drug use in the Blang population.

Project description:Pharmacogenomics, the study of the role of genetics in drug response, has recently become a focal point of research. Previous studies showed that genes associated with drug detoxification vary among different populations. However, pharmacogenomic information of the Zhuang ethnic group is scarce. The aim of the present study was to screen members of the Zhuang ethnicity in southwestern China for genotype frequencies of very important pharmacogenomic (VIP) variants and to determine the differences between the Zhuang ethnicity and other human populations.We genotyped 80 variants of VIP genes in 100 unrelated healthy Zhuang adults from the Yunnan province of China. Next, we analyzed the genotyping data with Structure and F-statistics (Fst).We compared our data with those of other populations using the HapMap data set, and observed that the frequency distribution of Zhuang population in Yunnan closely resembles that of JPT. Furthermore, population structure and Fst analysis showed that the Zhuang population is closely related to the Shaanxi Han population with respect to genetic background.Our study supplements existing information on Zhuang population pharmacogenomics and provides an extensive overview for developing personalized medicine.

Project description:BackgroundPharmacogenomics (PGx), forming the basis of precision medicine, has revolutionized traditional medical practice. Currently, drug responses such as drug efficacy, drug dosage, and drug adverse reactions can be anticipated based on the genetic makeup of the patients. The pharmacogenomic data of Pakistani populations are limited. This study investigates the frequencies of pharmacogenetic variants and their clinical relevance among ethnic groups in Pakistan.MethodsThe Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) database was used to extract pharmacogenetic variants that are involved in medical conditions with high (1A + 1B) to moderate (2A + 2B) clinical evidence. Subsequently, the allele frequencies of these variants were searched among multiethnic groups of Pakistan (Balochi, Brahui, Burusho, Hazara, Kalash, Pashtun, Punjabi, and Sindhi) using the 1000 Genomes Project (1KGP) and ALlele FREquency Database (ALFRED). Furthermore, the published Pharmacogenomics literature on the Pakistani population was reviewed in PubMed and Google Scholar.ResultsOur search retrieved (n = 29) pharmacogenetic genes and their (n = 44) variants with high to moderate evidence of clinical association. These pharmacogenetic variants correspond to drug-metabolizing enzymes (n = 22), drug-metabolizing transporters (n = 8), and PGx gene regulators, etc. (n = 14). We found 5 pharmacogenetic variants present at >50% among 8 ethnic groups of Pakistan. These pharmacogenetic variants include CYP2B6 (rs2279345, C; 70%-86%), CYP3A5 (rs776746, C; 64%-88%), FLT3 (rs1933437, T; 54%-74%), CETP (rs1532624, A; 50%-70%), and DPP6 (rs6977820, C; 61%-86%) genes that are involved in drug response for acquired immune deficiency syndrome, transplantation, cancer, heart disease, and mental health therapy, respectively.ConclusionsThis study highlights the frequency of important clinical pharmacogenetic variants (1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) among multi-ethnic Pakistani populations. The high prevalence (>50%) of single nucleotide pharmacogenetic variants may contribute to the drug response/diseases outcome. These PGx data could be used as pharmacogenetic markers in the selection of appropriate therapeutic regimens for specific ethnic groups of Pakistan.

Project description:BackgroundMIR155HG plays an important role in malignant tumors, but it is rarely reported in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study investigated the effects of MIR155HG polymorphisms on CRC susceptibility from the perspective of molecular genetics.MethodsEight SNPs in MIR155HG were selected and genotyped among 514 CRC cases and 510 healthy controls using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The associations between these SNPs and the CRC risk were evaluated under genetic models using conditional logistic regression analysis. The HaploReg v4.1 database was used for SNPs functional prediction.ResultsThe allele "C" of rs12482371 (p = 0.047), allele "C" of rs1893650 (p = 0.025), and the allele "A" of rs928883 (p = 0.037) in MIR155HG were significantly associated with CRC risk. Genetic model analysis revealed that rs12482371 and rs1893650 increased CRC risk; whereas rs928883 was associated with reduced CRC risk. Stratification analysis showed that rs9383938 was a protective factor in CRC patients under 60 years old. Rs12482371 and rs1893650 were associated with the CRC risk in females. Rs11911469 and rs34904192 may affect the clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Moreover, the haplotypes CTT and GTC of LD block rs4143370|rs77218221|rs12482371, and the haplotypes CATGA and CACGG of LD block rs77699734|rs11911469|rs1893650|rs34904192|rs928883 were significantly associated with CRC risk.ConclusionThis study revealed that MIR155HG SNPs were associated with CRC susceptibility and could be predictive biomarkers for CRC risk.

Project description:The field of pharmacogenomics was initiated in the 1950s and began to thrive after the completion of the human genome project 10 years ago. Thus far, more than 100 drug labels and clinical guidelines referring to pharmacogenomic biomarkers have been published, and several key pharmacogenomic markers for either drug safety or efficacy have been identified and subsequently adopted in clinical practice as pre-treatment genetic tests. However, a tremendous variation of genetic backgrounds exists between different ethnic groups. The application of pharmacogenomics in the Chinese population is still a long way off, since the published guidelines issued by the organizations such as US Food and Drug Administration require further confirmation in the Chinese population. This review highlights important pharmacogenomic discoveries in the Chinese population and compares the Chinese population with other nations regarding the pharmacogenomics of five most commonly used drugs, ie, tacrolimus, cyclosporine A, warfarin, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine.

Project description:Previous studies have identified 8q24 as an important region to prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of six genetic variants on 8q24 (rs1447295, A; rs6983267, G; rs6983561, C; rs7837688, T; rs10090154, T and rs16901979, A) on PCa risk in Chinese population. Online electronic databases were searched to retrieve related articles concerning the association between 8q24 variants and PCa risk in men of Chinese population published between 2000 and 2014. Odds ratio (ORs) with its 95% correspondence interval (CI) were employed to assess the strength of association. Total eleven case-control studies were screened out, including 2624 PCa patients and 2438 healthy controls. Our results showed that three risk alleles of rs1447295 A (OR=1.35, 95% CI=1.19-1.53, P<0.00001), rs6983561 C (C vs. A: OR=1.41, 95% CI=1.21-1.63, P<0.00001) and rs10090154 T (T vs. C: OR=1.48, 95% CI=1.22-1.80, P<0.00001) on8q24 were significantly associated with PCa risk in Chinese population. Furthermore, genotypes of rs1447295, AA+AC; rs6983561, CC+AC and CC; rs10090154, TT+TC; and rs16901979, AA were associated with PCa as well (P<0.01). No association was found between rs6983267, rs7837688 and PCa risk. In conclusions, variants including rs1447295, rs6983561, rs10090154 and rs16901979 on 8q24 might be associated with PCa risk in Chinese population, indicating these four variations may contribute risk to this disease. This meta-analysis was the first study to assess the role of 8q24 variants on PCa risk in Chinese population.

Project description:Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart disease, occurs as a simplex trait of unknown etiology in the majority of cases. Studies of non-Asian populations suggest that approximately 10% of TOF cases carry a de novo rare copy number variant (CNV) thought to underlie the malformation. A genome-wide CNV analysis was performed in 303 TOF and 302 controls of Han Chinese as well as compared to 1,000 common Chinese database and revealed 166 rare CNVs identified in TOF patients with 119 CNVs further evaluated as potential “TOF-specific CNVs”; 98 were validated by qPCR, and 44 CNVs showed positive results on validation (positive rate 46.9%, 44/98). The genes related to the clinical phenotypes (subpulmonary VSD, bicuspid pulmonary valve, aortic valve overriding more than 75%, and right aortic arch) and the specific CNVs were included in integrating gene-gene interaction network analysis that identified the genes covering the specific CNVs directly or indirectly correlated to TOF and the signaling pathways. Thus, this study identified novel TOF-specific/associate CNVs in the Han Chinese that occurring at higher frequency in the Han Chinese (28.4% in Chr 1-20 and 42.9% in all chromosomes) is reflective of the increased prevalence of TOF in China. These novel CNVs identify new candidate genes for TOF. Our findings provide new insight into the contribution of CNVs to the genetic basis of TOF and identify new genetic loci potentially important to the pathogenesis of TOF

Project description:Schizophrenia is a chronic, severely debilitating mental disorder. Many studies have suggested that genetic factors play an important role in the onset and development of schizophrenia. In our study, we conducted a case-control study in a northern Chinese Han population of 499 schizophrenia patients and 500 controls to investigate the effect of variant genotypes of 13 SNPs in ANK3 on schizophrenia risk. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using the chi-squared test, genetic model analysis, and haplotype analysis. Four ANK3 SNPs were associated with schizophrenia risk. The minor allele of rs958852 in ANK3 was associated with a 0.75-fold reduction in schizophrenia risk in an allelic model. In the genetic model, rs958852 was associated with a reduced schizophrenia risk, and rs10994336, rs10994338 and rs4948418 were associated with an increased schizophrenia risk (rs10994336, OR = 2.00, 95%CI: 1.01-3.94, p = 0.047; rs10994338, OR = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.01-3.93, p = 0.047; rs4948418, OR = 2.00, 95%CI: 1.01-3.94, p = 0.047). In addition, haplotype "TTC" of ANK3 was associated with a 0.73-fold reduced schizophrenia risk (95%CI: 0.54-0.99; p = 0.044). To our knowledge, this is the first to report of an association between ANK3 rs10994336, rs10994338, rs4948418 and rs958852 and schizophrenia risk in a northern Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital heart disease (CHD) is a class of cardiovascular defects that includes septal defects, outflow tract abnormalities, and valve defects. Human homolog of Drosophila headcase (HECA) is a novel cell cycle regulator whose role in CHD has not been elucidated. This is the first study to determine the frequency of HECA mutations in patients with CHD and the association between HECA variants and CHD.MethodsIn this study, we identified a candidate gene, HECA, by whole-exome sequencing of an atrial septal defect family. To investigate the association between HECA variants and CHD risk, targeted exon sequencing was conducted in 689 individuals with sporadic CHD. We further analyzed the effect of HECA gene abnormalities on cardiomyocyte phenotype behavior and related signaling pathways by Western blotting, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and scratch assay.ResultsWe found a novel de novo mutation, c.409_410insA (p. W137fs), in the HECA gene and identified five rare deleterious variants that met the filtering criteria in 689 individuals with sporadic CHD. Fisher's exact test revealed a significant association between HECA variations and CHD compared with those in gnomADv2-East Asians(p = 0.0027). Further functional analysis suggested that the variant p. W137fs resulted in a deficiency of the normal HECA protein, and HECA deficiency altered AC16 cell cycle progression, increased cell proliferation, and migration, and promoted the activation of the PDGF-BB/PDGFRB/AKT pathway.ConclusionsOur study identified HECA and its six rare variants, expanding the spectrum of genes associated with CHD pathogenesis in the Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundIt is known that the contribution of risk alleles to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may vary between populations. Further, previous studies involving various ethnic groups have revealed associations between COPD and genetic polymorphisms in families with sequence similarity 13, member A (FAM13A), micro-RNA 2054 (MIR2054), SET domain containing protein 7 (SETD7), ring finger protein 150 (RNF150), hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Our objective was to explore the association between these gene polymorphism and COPD in members of Chinese Li minority population.Materials and methodsThe Chinese Li population case-control study was conducted to assess genetic associations with COPD risk. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on chromosome 4, including FAM13A, MIR2054, SETD7, RNF150, and HHIP, and nine SNPs in the VEGFA gene were genotyped among 234 cases and 240 controls using Sequenom Mass-ARRAY(®) platform. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis was performed using Haploview software and the associations of the SNP frequencies with COPD were analyzed using chi-square (χ(2)) tests, genetic models analysis, and haplotype analysis.ResultsBy χ(2) we found the minor allele "G" of rs17050782 was with increased COPD risk in allele model. In genetic models, we found the minor allele of rs7671167 (P=0.028 by dominant model) and rs17050782 (P=0.008 by recessive model) was associated with the increased risk of COPD disease. Likewise, an increased risk of developing COPD was associated with the "GGCGC" haplotype of VEGFA (odds ratio =1.48, 95% confidence interval =1.02-2.12, P=0.037).ConclusionOur results were the first time to reveal that SNPs from FAM13A (rs7671167), SETD7 (rs17050782), and a haplotype of VEGFA ("GGCGC") are potential susceptibility loci associated with increased COPD risk in Chinese Li minority population.
