Association between TBXT rs2305089 polymorphism and chordoma in Iranian patients identified by a developed T-ARMS-PCR assay.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chordoma is a locally aggressive bone tumor with a high capability of recurrence. Because chordoma often occurs at critical locations next to neurovascular structures, there is an urgent need to introduce validated biomarkers. T-box transcription factor T (TBXT; OMIM: 601397) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and survival of chordoma cells.

Methods

Herein, we aimed to show whether rs2305089 polymorphism is correlated with chordoma in the Iranian population. In order to detect rs2305089, tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) was used. In total, 19 chordoma patients and 108 normal healthy individuals were recruited and screened using T-ARMS-PCR. The results were subsequently validated by Sanger sequencing.

Results

The genotype distributions and allele frequencies were significantly different among the patient and healthy groups (p-value <0.05). The A allele of rs2305089 showed a significant positive association with chordoma risk (p-value <0.05). DNA sequencing verified the T-ARMS-PCR results as well. This study demonstrated the association between TBXT rs2305089 and chordoma in an Iranian population using a simple, accurate, and cost-effective T-ARMS-PCR assay.

Conclusions

Our results were in line with those of previous studies showing that TBXT rs2305089 is associated with chordoma development. We also developed an efficient T-ARMS-PCR assay to determine the genotype of rs2305089.

Associations between an MDM2 gene polymorphism and ulcerative colitis by ARMS-PCR.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the colon and rectum. The abnormal lesions in the digestive system caused by ulcerative colitis and intermittent colitis are of major clinical importance. MDM2 is a phospho-protein that functions as a ubiquitin ligase for p53. Recently, a T>G substitution in the promoter of the MDM2 gene (rs309) has been identified. In this case-control study, 174 ulcerative colitis biopsy samples and 82 control samples were collected from colonoscopy centers, hospitals, and clinics in Mazandaran and Gilan Provinces in Iran from October 2014 to May 2015. This MDM2 polymorphism was investigated in DNA samples (extracted from biopsy samples) by amplification-refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. The mean age of patients with ulcerative colitis was 46.5 years (range, 28 to 69 years) and that of control individuals was 45.3 years (range, 26 to 71 years). Seventy-eight patients (44.82%) were men and 96 (55.18%) were women. The distribution of the TT, TG, and GG genotypes was 17.93%, 27.59%, and 34.48%, respectively, in the ulcerative colitis patients and 31.70%, 24.40%, and 43.90%, respectively, in the control individuals (odds ratio of GG for ulcerative colitis, 7.142; 95% confidence interval, 2.400 to 9.542; p = 0.001). It was found that a single-nucleotide polymorphism at rs309 in the MDM2 gene was associated with ulcerative colitis. A direct relationship was found between age and ulcerative colitis, while no relationship was found with sex. This finding is of note because the occurrence of intestinal inflammation and subsequent ulcers can precede the development of cancer.

Association between ABCB1-T1236C polymorphism and drug-resistant epilepsy in Iranian female patients.

Project description:One third of epileptic patients are resistant to several anti-epileptic drugs (AED). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene that excludes drugs from the cells and plays a significant role in AEDs resistance. Over-expression of P-gp could be a result of polymorphisms in ABCB1 gene. We studied the association of T129C and T1236C single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of ABCB1 gene with drug-resistant epilepsy in Iranian epileptics.DNA samples were obtained from 200 healthy controls and 332 epileptic patients, of whom 200 were drug responsive and 132 drug resistant. The frequencies of the genotypes of the two SNP were determined by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism.No significant association was found between T129C and T1236C genotypes and drug-resistant epilepsy neither in adults nor in children. However, the risk of drug resistance was higher in female patients with 1236CC (P = 0.02) or CT (P = 0.008) genotype than in those with TT genotype. The risk of drug resistance was also higher in patients with symptomatic epilepsies with 1236CC (P = 0.02) or CT (P = 0.004) genotype than in those with TT genotype. The risk of drug resistance was lower in patients with idiopathic epilepsies with 129TT genotype (P = 0.001) than in those with CT genotype.Our results indicate that T1236C polymorphism is associated with drug resistance in Iranian female epileptic patients. Replication studies with large sample sizes are needed to confirm our results.

Association between LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and prostate cancer susceptibility in an Iranian population.

Project description:Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4 ? (LAPTM4B) is an oncogene associated with many human cancers. In the present study we aimed to examine the possible association between LAPTM4B polymorphism and risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in an Iranian population. This case control study was performed on 168 patients with PCa and 176 controls with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and LAPTM4B genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction. The distributions of LAPTM4B genotypes were significantly different between PCa patients (60.7% for *1/1, 32.8% for *1/2, and 6.5% for *2/2) and controls (44.9% for *1/1, 49.4% for *1/2, and 5.7% for *2/2). Both the *1/2 and *1/2+*2/2 genotypes significantly decreased the risk of PCa compared with the *1/1 genotype (OR = 49, 95% CI = 0.31-0.77, p = 0.002 and OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.34-0.81, p = 0.004, respectively). The minor allele (LAPTM4B*2) was associated with a decreased risk of PCa compared with the LAPTM4B*1 allele (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.48-0.96, p = 0.031). Moreover, LAPTM4B polymorphism was not associated with clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients. The results of this study showed that LAPTM4B*2 was associated with a decreased risk of PCa but the clinicopathological characteristics of PCa were not linked to LAPTM4B polymorphism. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are needed to confirm our findings.

Association between HLA-E gene polymorphism and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in Iranian women.

Project description:Human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E)is a non-classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens which expressed on extra villous cytotrophoblast, which interacts with NKG2A, is an inhibitory receptor on natural killer (NK) cells and leading to down regulation of immune response in the maternal-fetal interface and provides maternal immune tolerance of the fetus.This study was designated to investigate the gene frequencies of E0101 and E0103 in HLA-E gene in Iranian women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA).Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS-PCR) technique was carried out to detect polymorphism in exon 3 of the HLA-E gene in women with RSA and controls (n=200). Differences between groups were analyzed by SPSS19 software using (2) test.There was no significant difference in the allele frequencies of the HLA-E polymorphism between RSA and fertile controls but HLA-E 0101/0103 heterozygous genotype was found to be significantly higher in RSA group (p=0.006, OR=1.73), so this genotype might confer susceptibility to RSA.Our results suggest that HLA-E 0101/0103 heterozygous genotype leads to increase of RSA risk. It seems that by genotyping of HLA-E polymorphism, we can predict the risk of RSA in infertile women.

Association between Trp48Arg polymorphism of the CD11c gene and risk for obesity among Iranian population.

Project description:Background: Despite assessing the expression of CD11c gene in macrophages in adipose tissues and suggesting association between the gene expressions and predisposing to obesity, the relationship of the changes in CD11c gene and its variants with obesity has not been exclusively evaluated. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between rs2230424 gene polymorphism leading a single amino acid Arginine 48 to Tryptophan interchange in CD11c gene protein chain and obesity in a sample of Iranian population.Methods: This case-control association study was performed on 247 subjects including obese individuals and a sex- and age-matched healthy non-obese individuals. After DNA extraction, the DNA sequence containing the relevant polymorphic site was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Determining different genotypic patterns of the SNP was carried out by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. To final draft the suspected genotypes of the SNP, DNA sequencing was performed.Results: The frequency of wild genotype (TT) of Trp48Arg polymorphism of the CD11c gene in obese and non-obese groups was 97.9% and 94.6% and the frequency of heterozygous genotype (TC) was 2.1% and 5.4%, respectively with no significant difference (p?=?0.230,). None of the participants had mutant genotypic pattern of the polymorphism. There was no association of the genotypic pattern of Trp48Arg polymorphism with different underlying risk factors as well as mean laboratory parameters.Conclusion: The presence of Trp48Arg polymorphism of the CD11c gene is not associated with increased risk for obesity among Iranian population.

Detection of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism in AGPAT6 Gene, Associated with Milk Fat Content, using Tetra-Primer ARMS PCR-Based Assay, in Karan Fries Breeding Bulls.

Project description:Background:The bovine AGPAT6 gene is one of the potential candidate genes governing milk fat synthesis. Objectives:Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the targeted region of AGPAT6 gene and their effect on expected breeding values (EBV) of first lactation milk production traits viz. fat %, fat yield and 305 days milk yield in Karan Fries (KF) breeding bulls were sought. Materials and Methods:A tetra-primer ARMS PCR technique was adapted to genotype an SNP, g.36,175,805C>T located on 5' flanking region of AGPAT6 gene. The relationship between EBV of milk production traits and polymorphic locus of AGPAT6 gene was assessed. Results:Three kinds of genotype (CC, CT, and TT) with respect to g.36,175,805C>T SNP locus were observed. The identified SNP had significant (P<0.05) influence on EBV of fat % (EBV-FP). The KF bulls with CC and CT genotype had comparatively higher EBV-FP than the bulls with the TT genotype. The substitution of "C" allele by "T" allele led to a decrease of 0.0045 % in the EBV-FP. Conclusion:The identified SNP was significantly associated with EBV-FP, thus it may be utilized as a molecular marker for developing marker-assisted selection strategy to enhance the milk fat content in KF cattle population.

Association between Ala379Val polymorphism of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and migraine without aura in Iranian population.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Migraine is a common neurovascular disorder with multifactorial and polygenic inheritance. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of a migraine without aura and Ala379Val polymorphism of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) gene in the Iranian population. METHODS:In this study, 103 migraine patients and 100 healthy controls were enrolled. DNA samples were extracted and the Ala379Val polymorphism of Lp-PLA2 gene was investigated. To assess severity of a headache, patients filled out the headache impact test (HIT-6) and migraine severity (MIGSEV) questionnaires. RESULTS:Allele V had significantly lower frequency in the case group than control subjects [P = 0.001, odds ratio (OR) = 0.25, confidence interval (CI): 0.15-0.40]. The frequency of migraine patients that were a carrier of V allele (V/V and A/V) was statistically significant lower than the control group (P = 0.003, OR = 2.39, CI: 1.35-4.23). There was no significant difference of alleles frequency between three grades of MIGSEV (P = 0.316). Furthermore, total HIT-6 score was not significantly different between different genotypes (P = 0.466). CONCLUSION:Our results showed that Ala379Val gene polymorphism of LP-PLA2 is associated with lower risk of migraine but not with severity of headaches in an Iranian population.

A PCR Method That Can Be Further Developed into PCR-RFLP Assay for Eight Animal Species Identification.

Project description:There are many PCR-based methods for animal species identification; however, their detection numbers are limited or could not identify unknown species. We set out to solve this problem by developing a universal primer PCR assay for simultaneous identification of eight animal species, including goat, sheep, deer, buffalo, cattle, yak, pig, and camel. In this assay, the variable lengths of mitochondrial DNA were amplified using a pair of universal primers. PCR amplifications yielded 760?bp, 737?bp, 537?bp, 486?bp, 481?bp, 464?bp, 429?bp, and 359?bp length fragments for goat, sheep, deer, buffalo, cattle, yak, pig, and camel, respectively. This primer pair had no cross-reaction with other common domestic animals and fish. The limit of detection varied from 0.01 to 0.05?ng of genomic DNA for eight animal species in a 20?µl PCR mixture. Each PCR product could be further digested into fragments with variable sizes and qualitative analysis by SspI restriction enzyme. This developed PCR-RFLP assay was sufficient to distinguish all targeted species. Compared with the previous published related methods, this approach is simple, with high throughput, fast processing rates, and more cost-effective for routine identification of meat in foodstuffs.

Lack of association between VEGF -2578C/A polymorphism and risk of colorectal cancer in an Iranian population.

Project description:AimHere, we evaluated the VEGF gene -2578C/A polymorphism as a potential susceptibility factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) occurrence amongst Iranian CRC patients.BackgroundVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulatory factor in angiogenesis which plays essential roles in the development of malignancy in colorectal cancer (CRC), as the third most prevalent cancer worldwide.MethodsVEGF -2578C/A polymorphism was evaluated in 200 CRC patients and 200 healthy control subjects via restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.ResultsThe frequencies of CC, AC and AA genotypes among CRC patients were 22.5%, 51% and 26.5%, respectively, with their respective genotype frequencies at 16%, 54% and 30% in control cohorts (P=0.247). The A allele frequency among the case group was 52% and for control group, it was 57%. C allele frequency in case and control groups was 48% and 43%, respectively (p=0.156). No significant association was observed (p=0.990) between this polymorphism and CRC stage.ConclusionOur findings provide limited support for the hypothesis that the -2578C/A VEGF are associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer in Iranian colorectal cancer patients and suggest instead that meta data studies, which have previously relied upon populations definitions such as 'Asian', should more specifically take into account country of origin when associating prognostic value to a given genotype.

Association between autocrine motility factor receptor gene polymorphism (rs2440472, rs373191257) and glioblastoma multiform in a representative Iranian population.

Project description:BackgroundGlioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and most malignant of the glial tumors that begins primarily in brain tissue. Genetic background could be considered as an important predisposing factor in GBM. Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR) is a cytokine receptor that participates in a lot of physiologic and pathologic processes like: Cellular motility and metastasis. So, it seems that this protein has an essential role in pathophysiology of several cancers and could be a potential diagnostic and or therapeutic target in GBM. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of AMFR (rs2440472, rs373191257) gene polymorphism and GBM in a representative Iranian population.Materials and methodsThis study includes 81 cases of GBM and 117 control subjects. After DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction - high resolution melting reaction was performed. For each single nucleotide polymorphisms, 12 samples were selected for sequencing. Data was analyzed using Chi-square test and Logistic regression.ResultsFor rs2440472, frequency of GG genotype in the case group was increased compared to the control group (51.9% vs. 34.2% respectively, P = 0.013). After adjusting for sex and age by logistic regression our results were the same (P = 0.017, odds ratio = 2.056). Allelic frequencies for rs2440472 among cases and controls were not significantly different (P = 0.058). For rs373191257, genotypic and allelic frequencies were not significantly different between two groups.ConclusionOur results showed the possible association between the AMFR rs2440472 gene polymorphism with susceptibility to GBM.
