Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in pre-miRNAs and the risk of asthma in a Chinese population

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pre-miRNAs may alter microRNA (miRNA) expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. We investigated the correlation between four SNPs (rs11614913, rs3746444, rs2910164, and rs229283) in pre-miRNAs and the risk of asthma in 220 asthma patients and 540 controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and DNA-sequencing. There were significant differences in the genotype and allelic distribution of rs2910164G/C and rs2292832C/T polymorphisms among cases and controls. The CC genotype and C allele of rs2910164G/C were significantly associated with a decreased risk of asthma (CC vs. GG, odds ratio [OR]?= 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31-0.82; C vs. G, OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.59-0.93). Similarly, the TT genotype and T allele of rs2292832C/T were significantly associated with a decreased risk of asthma (TT vs. CC, OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.33-0.95; T vs. C, OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.95). However, no significant association between the other two polymorphisms (i.e., rs11614913C/T and rs3746444C/T) and the risk of asthma was observed. Our data indicate that rs2910164G/C and rs2292832C/T may play a role in the development of asthma.     

Interleukin-4 rs2243250 polymorphism is associated with asthma among Caucasians and related to atopic asthma

Published data on the association between interleukin-4 (IL-4) rs2243250 (C-589T) polymorphism and asthma susceptibility are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 17 studies with 3037 asthma patients and 3032 healthy controls were included. Overall, significantly elevated asthma risk was associated with IL-4 T allele when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (CT vs. CC: OR=1.187, 95% CI=1.016-1.387; dominant model: OR=1.213, 95% CI=1.046-1.405). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risk was only found for Caucasians (TT vs. CC: OR=1.591, 95% CI=1.032-2.452; dominant model: OR=1.292, 95% CI=1.028-1.624). When stratified by asthma type, statistically significantly elevated risk was only found in atopic asthma group (dominant model: OR=1.313, 95% CI=1.033-1.667). Despite some limitations, this meta-analysis suggests that T allele at position -589 of the IL-4 gene promoter region is a low-penetrant risk factor for asthma development especially for Caucasians and atopic type.     

葡萄糖转运体9（GLUT9）基因启动子区的rs13124007（G/C）及rs6850166（G/A）位点的单核苷酸多态性（SNP）与汉族女性痛风相关性研究（英文）

Genetic variation in the NBS1 gene is associated with hepatic cancer risk in a Chinese population

NBS1 plays important roles in maintaining genomic stability as a key DNA repair protein in the homologous recombination repair pathway and as a signal modifier in the intra-S phase checkpoint. We hypothesized that polymorphisms of NBS1 are associated with hepatic cancer (HCC) risk. The NBS1 rs1805794 C/G polymorphism has been frequently studied in some cancers with discordant results, but its association with HCC has not been investigated. Moreover, studies of the 3'UTR variant rs2735383 have not touched upon HCC. This study examined the contribution of these two polymorphisms to the risk of developing HCC in a Chinese population. NBS1 genotypes were determined in 865 HCC patients and 900 controls and the associations with risk of HCC were estimated by logistic regression. Compared with the rs1805794 GG genotype, the GC genotype had a significantly increased risk of HCC (adjusted odds ratios [OR]=1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.11-1.80), the CC carriers had a further increased risk of HCC (OR=2.27; 95% CI=1.68-3.14), and there was a trend for an allele dose effect on risk of HCC (p<0.001). Also, we found that the risk effect of rs1805794 CC+CG was more pronounced in HCC patients that drank (OR=2.28, 95% CI=1.55-3.29 for drinkers; OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.00-1.77 for nondrinkers). However, there was no significant difference in genotype frequencies of rs2735383 G/C site between cases and controls. These findings suggest that rs1805794 C/G polymorphism in NBS1 may be a genetic modifier for developing HCC.     

Two genetic variants in FABP1 and susceptibility to non-alcohol fatty liver disease in a Chinese population

Liver fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1) serves as a key regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism, and polymorphisms within the FABP1 gene have been associated with several metabolic traits. To investigate the association between FABP1 polymorphisms and the risk of non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Chinese population, the genotypes and haplotypes of FABP1 (rs2241883 T/C and rs1545224G/A) were determined in 553 patients with NAFLD and 553 healthy controls. The results showed that individuals with at least one copy of the rs2241883 C allele (TC or CC genotype) had an elevated risk for developing NAFLD (odds ratio [OR]=1.32, 95% CI: 1.01-1.71), and individuals with at least one copy of the rs1545224 A allele (GA or AA genotype) also had a significantly increased risk for NAFLD (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.14-2.02). Cumulative effect analysis of the two SNPs revealed that individuals with two risk genotypes were at significantly higher risk of NAFLD than those without risk genotype, and a significant trend of increased risk with increasing numbers of risk genotype was observed. Stratification analysis showed that the rs2241883 C allele carriers had higher level of LDL-C and the rs1545224 A allele carriers had higher level of FPG than those without this allele. In addition, haplotype analysis revealed that the one composed of the rs1545224 A and rs2241883 C variants was significantly associated with an increased risk for NAFLD (OR=1.34; 95% CI=1.05-1.40) compared to the GT haplotype. Taken together, the present study suggests that genetic variations within FABP1 influence susceptibility to NAFLD independently or jointly.     

Mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase-5 promoter region polymorphisms affect the risk of sporadic colorectal cancer in a southern Chinese population

Mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase-5 (MEK5), which belongs to a network of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether variants in the MEK5 gene promoter were involved in susceptivity of individuals to sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present hospital-based case-control study of 737 patients with sporadic CRC and 703 healthy control subjects in a southern Chinese population, the two polymorphisms of MEK5 promoter (i.e., rs7172582C>T and rs3743354T>C) were genotyped by TaqMan assay. There were significant differences between cases and controls in the genotype and allele distribution of the MEK5 gene rs3743354T>C polymorphism. The rs3743354 CC genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of CRC when compared with the TT genotype (adjusted odds ratios [ORs]=0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.77). Compared to the T allele, a significant correlation was detected between the presence of the C allele and decreased risk of CRC (adjusted OR=0.79; 95% CI, 0.61-0.94). The decreased risk of CRC associated with rs3743354 variant genotypes (i.e., CT+CC) was found in the smoker subgroup (adjusted OR=0.63; 95% CI=0.45-0.88). Further, environmental factors, including smoking and drinking, interacted with rs3743354C variant genotypes to reduce CRC risk. Western blot analysis showed that the levels of MEK5 protein in sporadic CRC neoplastic tissues and adjacent normal colorectal epithelium tissues were lower in the carriers of rs3743354 CC genotypes than that in those with rs3743354 TT genotypes or those with rs3743354 TC genotypes. However, no significant association was found between the rs7172582C>T polymorphism and risk of CRC. These data indicate that the rs3743354 polymorphism in the MEK5 promoter may affect the risk of developing CRC.
