Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, a low virulence mycobacterium, and the outcome of disease is dependent on the host genetics for either susceptibility per se or severity. The IFNG gene codes for interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a cytokine that plays a key role in host defense against intracellular pathogens. Indeed, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IFNG have been evaluated in several genetic epidemiological studies, and the SNP +874T>A, the +874T allele, more specifically, has been associated with protection against infectious diseases, especially tuberculosis. Here, we evaluated the association of the IFNG locus with leprosy enrolling 2,125 Brazilian subjects. First, we conducted a case–control study with subjects recruited from the state of São Paulo, using the +874 T>A (rs2430561), +2109 A>G (rs1861494) and rs2069727 SNPs. Then, a second study including 1,370 individuals from Rio de Janeiro was conducted. Results of the case–control studies have shown a protective effect for +874T carriers (ORadjusted = 0.75; p = 0.005 for both studies combined), which was corroborated when these studies were compared with literature data. No association was found between the SNP +874T>A and the quantitative Mitsuda response. Nevertheless, the spontaneous IFN-γ release by peripheral blood mononuclear cells was higher among +874T carriers. The results shown here along with a previously reported meta-analysis of tuberculosis studies indicate that the SNP +874T>A plays a role in resistance to mycobacterial diseases. 相似文献

Susceptibility to infectious diseases is influenced by genetic background and efficient cellular immune activation is responsible
for protection. In tuberculosis (TB), interferon-gamma (IFNγ) is crucial to control intracellular growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis while interleukin-10 (IL-10) has an antagonistic role. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a central mediator of granuloma formation
and control of bacilli spread synergizing with IFNγ to hamper M. tuberculosis infection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located at these genes could influence cytokine levels and regulate resistance
and susceptibility to TB. The aim of this study was to determine the association of the interferon-gamma gene (IFNG) +874T/A, interleukin-10 gene (IL10) -1082G/A and tumor necrosis factor gene (TNF) -308G/A SNPs with TB in several populations using meta-analysis. We searched for association studies correlating these polymorphisms
and TB using pre-established keywords in Medline. Meta-analysis was conducted with random effects models to account for heterogeneity
between studies. Eleven studies were included in the IFNG +874T/A meta-analysis, while eight were used for the IL10 -1082G/A, and 10 were employed for TNF -308G/A. Data were analyzed in respect to associations between alleles, genotypes and minor allele carriers. Statistically
significant results were found only for IFNG. The +874T allele of IFNG showed a protective significant association (OR = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.634–0.887; P = 0.0008). Though not significant, IL10 presented a trend towards protection when only studies with pulmonary TB patients were considered. This data reinforces the
critical importance of IFNG +874T/A as a genetic marker for TB resistance and this information can be used for better design of a TB vaccine.

The MRC1 gene, encoding the human mannose receptor (MR), is a member of the C-type lectin receptors family. MR can recognize and bind to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by the extracellular structure, and play a role in antigen-presenting and maintaining a stable internal environment. This study aimed to investigate potential associations of SNPs in exon 7 of the MRC1 gene with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). G1186A, G1195A, T1212C, C1221G, C1303T and C1323T were genotyped using PCR and DNA sequencing in 595 Chinese Uygur and 513 Kazak subjects. In the Uygur, the frequency of allele G (P = 0.031, OR = 1.29, 95 % CI = 1.02–1.62) and AA genotype (P = 0.033, OR = 1.64, 95 % CI = 1.04–2.60) for G1186A was lower in the pulmonary TB than healthy control and were significantly correlated with pulmonary TB. After adjustment for age and gender, G1186A was found to be additive models in association with pulmonary TB (P = 0.04, OR = 1.27, 95 % CI = 1.01–1.60). By calculating linkage disequilibrium, the frequency of haplotype GGTCCT (P = 0.032, OR = 0.75, 95 % CI = 0.57–0.97) and GGTCCC (P = 0.044, OR = 0.57, 95 % CI = 0.33–0.99) was significantly associated with pulmonary TB. No association was found between other SNPs and pulmonary TB. In the Kazak, all SNPs were not associated with pulmonary TB. Our results suggest that genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility to pulmonary TB at the individual level, and provide an experimental basis to clarify the pathogenesis of pulmonary TB. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is complex, with several susceptibility genes and environmental factors involved in its development and clinical manifestation. Currently, there is a great amount of interest in the identification of biomarkers, as cytokines, that can quantify the susceptibility of SLE, the risk of future organ involvement, and association of their changes with disease activity. To investigate the associations between polymorphisms in the gene of Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and in the promoter of the Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene and SLE. The polymorphisms +874 T/A (rs2430561) in the IFN-γ gene and ?1082G/A (rs1800896) in the IL-10 promoter were determined in 99 SLE patients and 100 healthy controls among women Brazilian using the refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction method. Disease activity was assessed using the SLE activity index. There were significant differences in the distribution of the genotype T/A in IFN-γ gene polymorphism (+874) (χ 2 = 7.168; P = 0.0074) and the genotype G/A in IL-10 promoter polymorphism (?1082) (χ 2 = 4.654; P = 0.0310) between the SLE and control groups. However, no association was observed between clinical features and the polymorphisms studied. This study presents preliminary evidence for association between IL-10 and IFN-γ polymorphism and SLE susceptibility, but not with clinical features in a Northeast population from Brazil. 相似文献

A numbers studies had been reported that the polymorphisms in the Interleukin 4 (IL-4) and Interleukin 13 (IL-13) genes were associated with susceptibility to asthma. However, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. We carried out a meta-analysis of case–control genetic association studies to assess whether the combined data showed this association by using a genetic model-free approach. Thirty studies (total 12,781 asthma and 11,500 controls) for the IL-4 C-33T and C-589T, IL-13 C-1112T and G+2044A with asthma were included in the meta-analysis. The results indicated that there were an association between the IL-4 C-33T (P = 0.006) and C-589T (P = 0.04), IL-13 C-1112T (P = 0.002) and G+2044A (P = 0.04) and susceptibility to asthma. And the definition of asthma subgroup meta-analysis demonstrates that the IL-4 C-33T is not associated with nonatopic or atopic, and IL-4 C-589T and IL-13 C-1112T polymorphisms are not associated with atopic. In the ethnicity subgroup meta-analysis, the IL-4 ?589T (P = 0.003) and the IL-13 ?1112T (P < 0.00001) alleles are associated with asthma among Caucasian, but not on the IL-13 +2044A allele. In conclusion, IL-4 C-33T and C-589T, IL-13 C-1112T and G+2044A could be proposed as asthma susceptible SNPs. Further investigation in larger studies and meta-analysis is required. 相似文献

The role of IL-15 in the protection against Leishmania (L) parasites has been clarified in previous studies, in which IL-15 similar to IFN-γ induces IL-12 production and stimulates the leishmaniacidal activity of the macrophages infected with L. infantum. Furthermore, the increased level of IL-15 in acute visceral leishmaniasis patients (VL) can suppress Th2 cytokines such as IL-4. Since different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL15 gene have been described, this study aimed to investigate the association of the SNPs at the positions 267, 367, 13,687 and 14,035 with VL. The IL15 gene variants were compared between two groups consisting of 117 VL patients and 146 healthy individuals using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The results showed that the frequencies of the alleles 267C (83.9 vs. 73.5 %, P = 0.0035), 13687A (22.4 vs. 12.8 %, P = 0.032), genotype 267CC (68.5 vs. 55.6 %, P = 0.031), haplotypes CGCA (16 vs. 8.3 %, P = 0.02) and TACA (11.2 vs. 4.8 %, P = 0.02) were significantly higher in the controls than those in the patients, while the genotypes 267TT (8.5 vs. 0.7 %, P = 0.0016), 13687CC (78.6 vs. 65.5 %, P = 0.015), the haplotypes TGCT (10 vs. 2.5 %, P = 0.00002) and TGCA (5.7 vs. 0.35 %, P = 0.000001) were significantly more frequent in the patients. In conclusion, it may be speculated that these gene variants with probable effects on the IL-15 production can serve as the factors influencing VL among Iranian population. However, to clarify the association of these variants with the level of IL-15, further studies are recommended. 相似文献

Objective
Sepsis is an inflammatory syndrome caused by infection, and both its incidence and mortality are high. Because interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) plays an important role in inflammation, this work assessed IFN-γ single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that may be associated with sepsis.Methods
A total of 196 patients with pneumonia-induced sepsis and 213 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers participated in our study from July 2012 to July 2013 in Guangzhou, China. Patient clinical information was collected. Clinical pathology was assessed in subgroups defined based on clinical criteria, APACHE II (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) and SOFA (sepsis-related organ failure assessment) scores and discharge rate. Four functional SNPs, −1616T/C (rs2069705), −764G/C (rs2069707), +874A/T (rs2430561) and +3234C/T (rs2069718), were genotyped by Snapshot in both sepsis patients and healthy controls. Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the distribution of the SNPs, and the probability values (P values), odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.Results
No mutations in the IFN-γ −764G/C SNP were detected among the participants in our study. The +874A/T and +3234C/T SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) (r2 = 0.894). The −1616 TC+TT, +874 AT+AA genotype and the TAC haplotype were significantly associated with sepsis susceptibility, while the CTT haplotype was associated with protection against sepsis incidence. Genotype of −1616 TT wasn’t only protective against severity of sepsis, but also against higher APACHE II and SOFA scores as +874 AA and +3234 CC. The TAC haplotype was was protective against progression to severe sepsis either.Conclusion
Our results suggest that functional IFN-γ SNPs and their haplotypes are associated with pneumonia-induced sepsis. 相似文献8.

Genetic factors play important roles in the development of tuberculosis (TB). SP110 is a promising candidate target for controlling TB infections. However, several studies associating SP110 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with TB have yielded conflicting results. This may be partly resolved by studying other genes associated with SP110, such as MYBBP1A and RELA. Here, we genotyped 6 SP110 SNPs, 8 MYBBP1A SNPs and 5 RELA SNPs in 702 Chinese pulmonary TB patients and 425 healthy subjects using MassARRAY and SNaPshot methods. Using SNP-based analysis with Bonferroni correction, rs3809849 in MYBBP1A [Pcorrected (cor) = 0.0038] and rs9061 in SP110 (Pcor = 0.019) were found to be significantly associated with TB. Furthermore, meta-analysis of rs9061 in East Asian populations showed that the rs9061 T allele conferred significant risk for TB [P = 0.002, pooled odds ratio (OR), 1.24, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.43]. The MYBBP1A GTCTTGGG haplotype and haplotypes CGACCG/TGATTG within SP110 were found to be markedly and significantly associated with TB (P = 2.00E?06, 5.00E?6 and 2.59E?4, respectively). Gene-based analysis also demonstrated that SP110 and MYBBP1A were each associated with TB (Pcor = 0.011 and 0.035, respectively). The logistic regression analysis results supported interactions between SP110 and MYBBP1A, indicating that subjects carrying a GC/CC genotype in MYBBP1A and CC genotype in SP110 possessed the high risk of developing TB (P = 1.74E?12). Our study suggests that a combination of SP110 and MYBBP1A gene polymorphisms may serve as a novel marker for identifying the risk of developing TB in the Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein E (APOE, protein; ApoE, gene) is a lipid transport protein abundantly present in brain cells. Previous studies have suggested that there is an association between genetic variants of ApoE and susceptibility to cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study was to explore whether the ApoE gene is involved in the etiology of CP in the Chinese population. In this study, 350 CP patients and 242 healthy control children were recruited. Genomic DNA was prepared from venous blood and all five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ApoE (rs769446, rs405509, rs121918399, rs429358, and rs190853081) were detected by the MassARRAY platform-based genotyping approach. The SHEsis program was used to analyze the genotyping data, and we systemically analyzed the association of the ApoE SNPs with different subtypes of CP. No significant association was detected between the e4 identified by the C allele of rs429358 and CP, but there were significant differences in allelic frequencies between the CP patients and controls at rs769446 (P = 0.005, P = 0.025 after Bonferroni correction), as well as between the CP patients with preterm birth (<34 gestational weeks) and controls at rs769446 (P = 0.001, P = 0.005 after Bonferroni correction). A haplotype consisting of the five SNPs rs769446(C), rs405509(C), rs121918399(C), rs429358(T), and rs190853081(G) was associated with a decreased risk of CP (P = 0.002 after Bonferroni correction). However, we found no significant association between any of the other three SNPs and CP based on different subgroup analyses. This study provides the first evidence that ApoE gene polymorphisms are a potential risk factor for CP in the Chinese population. 相似文献

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a chronic infectious disease. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is an important cytokine imparting resistance to mycobacterial diseases. It is believed that IFN-γ and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) play divergent roles in the host immune system against MTB infection. IL-10 is an important inhibitory cytokine and helps balancing the inflammatory and immune responses. IL-10 is involved in down regulation of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II antigen and co-stimulatory molecular expression on macrophages, while IFN-γ results in macrophage activation allowing them to exert the microbicidal role. The objectives were to find out the association of IL-10 (?1082 A/G) and IFN-γ (+874 A/T) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with extrapulmonary tuberculosis in ethnic Kashmiri population. A total of 100 extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases and 102 healthy controls were analyzed for IL-10 (?1082 A/G) and IFN- γ (+874 A/T) SNPs using Allele-Specific PCR. We found a significant association of IFN-γ + 874 ‘TT’ genotype with extrapulmonary tuberculosis (p = 0.006) and in case of IL-10 (?1082 A/G) we found a significant association with extrapulmonary tuberculosis under recessive model (GG vs GA + AA) (p = 0.03) in Kashmiri population. IL-10 (?1082 A/G) and IFN-γ (+874 A/T) have a significant association with extrapulmonary tuberculosis in ethnic Kashmiri population. 相似文献

Recent Genome-Wide Association Studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with breast cancer (BC) among women of Asian, European, and African-American ancestry. Nevertheless, the contribution of these variants in the South American population is unknown. Furthermore, there is little information about the effect of these risk alleles in women with early BC diagnosis. In the present study, we evaluated the association between rs3803662 (TOX3, also known as TNRC9), rs13387042 (2q35), and rs13281615 (8q24) with BC risk in 344 Chilean BRCA1/2-negative BC cases and in 801 controls. Two SNPs, rs3803662 and rs13387042, were significantly associated with increased BC risk in familial BC and in non-familial early-onset BC. The risk of BC increased in a dose-dependent manner with the number of risk alleles (P-trend < 0.0001 and 0.0091, respectively). The odds ratios for BC in familial BC and in early-onset non-familial BC were 3.76 (95 %CI 1.02–13.84, P = 0.046) and 8.0 (95 %CI 2.20–29.04, P = 0.002), respectively, for the maximum versus minimum number of risk alleles. These results indicate an additive effect of the TOX3 rs3803662 and 2q35 rs13387042 alleles for BC risk. We also evaluated the interaction between rs3803662 and rs13387042 SNPs. We observed an additive interaction only in non-familial early-onset BC cases (AP = 0.72 (0.28–1.16), P = 0.001). No significant association was observed for rs13281615 (8q24) with BC risk in women from the Chilean population. The strongly increased risk associated with the combination of low-penetrance risk alleles supports the polygenic inheritance model of BC. 相似文献

The serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor has been implicated in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5-HT2A gene have been found in OSA, the most common being ?1438G/A and T102C; however, studies of the association between 5-HT2A SNPs and OSA risk have reported inconsistent findings. A meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively review the association between ?1438G/A and T102C SNPs and OSA. Five studies, including 791 subjects for ?1438G/A genotype and 1,068 subjects for T102C genotype, were selected. Pooled data analysis of the ?1438G/A genotype indicated a significantly increased OSA risk was associated with two variant genotypes (AA vs. AG+GG: OR 3.023, 95 % CI 2.169–4.213, P = 0.506 for heterogeneity; A allele carriers vs. GG: OR 1.938, 95 % CI 0.879–4.274, P = 0.012 for heterogeneity). Stratification analysis by gender supported the association in males, but not females. For the T102C genotype, no significantly increased OSA risk was associated with the two variant genotypes (CC vs. CT+TT: OR 1.065, 95 % CI 0.787–1.442, P = 0.361 for heterogeneity; C allele carriers vs. TT: OR 0.979, 95 % CI 0.737–1.3, P = 0.9 for heterogeneity).In conclusions, meta-analysis indicated that the ?1438G/A, and not T102C, polymorphism of 5-HT2A is a positive risk factor of OSA, especially in males. 相似文献

Tuberculosis (TB) has substantial mortality worldwide with 5–10% of those exposed progressing to active TB disease. Studies in mice and humans indicate that the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) molecule plays an important role in immune response to TB. A mixed case–control association study of individuals with TB, relatives, or close contact controls was performed in 726 individuals (279 case and 166 control African-Americans; 198 case and 123 control Caucasians). Thirty-nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected from the NOS2A gene for single SNP, haplotype, and multilocus interaction analyses with other typed candidate genes using generalized estimating equations. In African-Americans, ten NOS2A SNPs were associated with TB. The strongest associations were observed at rs2274894 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.23–2.77], p = 0.003) and rs7215373 (OR = 1.67, 95% CI [1.17–2.37], p = 0.004), both of which passed a false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons (q* = 0.20). The strongest gene–gene interactions were observed between NOS2A rs2248814 and IFNGR1 rs1327474 (p = 0.0004) and NOS2A rs944722 and IFNGR1 rs1327474 (p = 0.0006). Three other SNPs in NOS2A interacted with TLR4 rs5030729 and five other NOS2A SNPs interacted with IFNGR1 rs1327474. No significant associations were observed in Caucasians. These results suggest that NOS2A variants may contribute to TB susceptibility, particularly in individuals of African descent, and may act synergistically with SNPs in TLR4 and IFNGR1. 相似文献

Previous studies identified the variant IFNG +874A/T (rs2430561) in the first intron of the gene in association with mycobacterial infection, especially tuberculosis and leprosy. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the protective role of the T allele in relation to leprosy using a meta-analysis evaluation. Thus, 1573 patients and 1914 controls were included and analyzed in fixed effects model. The T allele is associated with a protective effect for leprosy under the dominant model (pooled OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.72–0.96, p = 0.011) suggesting that carriers of the IFNG +874T allele may be protected from developing leprosy. The T allele has been suggested to correlate with high interferon-γ levels. A phenotype with high IFN-γ producing and an increased inflammatory profile may account for these findings. This meta-analysis suggests that IFNG +874T allele is associated with leprosy resistance. 相似文献

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, the complex interaction of host immune system and the mycobacteria is associated with levels of cytokines production that play a major role in determining the outcome of the disease. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cytokine genes have been associated with tuberculosis (TB) outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between previously reported SNPs IL2–330 T>G (rs2069762); IL4–590 C>T (rs2243250); IL6–174 G>C (rs1800795); IL10–592 A>C (rs1800872); IL10–1082 G>A (rs1800896); IL17A -692 C>T (rs8193036); IL17A -197 G>A (rs2275913); TNF -238 G>A (rs361525); TNF -308 G>A (rs1800629) and IFNG +874 T>A (rs2430561) and pulmonary TB (PTB) susceptibility. We conducted a case-control study in individuals from Southern Brazil who were recruited between February 2012 and October 2013 in a high incidence TB city. We performed a multiplex genotyping assay in 191 patients with PTB and 175 healthy subjects. Our results suggest a decreased risk for PTB development associated with the IL17A -197A allele (OR = 0.29; p = 0.04), AA genotype (OR = 0.12; p = 0.04) and A carrier (AG/AA) (OR = 0.29; p = 0.004) and IL6 -174C carrier (CC/CG) (OR = 0.46; p = 0.04). We could not properly analyze IL17A -692 C>T (rs8193036) and IFNG +874T>A due to genotypic inconsistencies and found no evidence of association for the IL2, IL4, IL10 and TNF polymorphisms and PTB. In conclusion, our results show a protective effect of IL17 and IL6 polymorphisms on PTB outcome in Southern Brazilian population. 相似文献

The genetic factors of tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility have been widely recognized. Here we performed a two-stage study in 616 TB patients and 709 healthy controls to systematically identify the genetic markers of TB susceptibility. In the discovery stage, we identified 93 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 3 human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles that had potential associations with TB susceptibility. In the validation stage, we confirmed that 6 nominally significant SNPs, including 2 novel missense variants at RAB17 and DCTN4 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.40, P = 4.98 × 10−3 and OR = 2.30, P = 3.17 × 10−2 respectively), were associated with the predisposition to TB. Moreover, our study found that HLA-II allele DQA1*05:05 (P = 0.0011, OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.15–1.77) was a TB susceptibility locus for the first time. This study comprehensively investigated the genetic variants that were associated with TB susceptibility and provided insight into the tuberculosis pathogenesis. 相似文献

Fish oil supplementation provides an inconsistent degree of protection from cardiovascular disease (CVD), which may be attributed to genetic variation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the elongation-of-very-long-chain-fatty-acids-2 (ELOVL2) gene have been strongly associated with plasma proportions of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). We investigated the effect of genotype interaction with fish oil dosage on plasma n-3 LC-PUFA proportions in a parallel double-blind controlled trial, involving 367 subjects randomised to treatment with 0.45, 0.9 and 1.8 g/day eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (1.51:1) or olive oil placebo for 6 months. We genotyped 310 subjects for ELOVL2 gene SNPs rs3734398, rs2236212 and rs953413. At baseline, carriers of all minor alleles had lower proportions of plasma DHA than non-carriers (P = 0.021–0.030). Interaction between genotype and treatment was a significant determinant of plasma EPA (P < 0.0001) and DHA (P = 0.004–0.032). After the 1.8 g/day dose, carriers of ELOVL2 SNP minor alleles had approximately 30 % higher proportions of EPA (P = 0.002–0.004) and 9 % higher DHA (P = 0.013–0.017) than non-carriers. Minor allele carriers could therefore particularly benefit from a high intake of EPA and DHA in maintaining high levels of plasma n-3 PUFA conducive to protection from CVD. 相似文献

Objective
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Since interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) has a direct effect on inflammation, in this study we assessed the potential association of the IFNG functional gene variant rs2430561 with CV disease in patients with RA.Methods
One thousand six hundred and thirty-five patients fulfilling the 1987 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for RA were genotyped for the IFNG (rs2430561, +874T/A) gene polymorphism using TaqMan genotyping assay. Patients were stratified according to the presence of CV events or not. Logistic regression models to explain the presence of CV disease according to the IFNG rs2430561 allele distribution were performed. The potential influence of this variant in the development of subclinical atherosclerosis was also analyzed in a subgroup of patients with no history of CV events to determine carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) (n = 286) and presence of carotid plaques. Levels of the cytokine were determined in a subgroup of patients by ELISA.Results
Adjusted logistic regression model disclosed that presence of the minor allele A was not associated with increased risk of suffering CV events in RA patients. Besides, differences did not achieve statistical significance regarding carotid IMT and presence of carotid plaques in RA patients carrying IFNG rs2430561 variant allele. Levels of IFN-γ were higher in patients who had suffered CV events compared to patients who did not.Conclusion
Our results do not support a role of IFNG rs2430561 (+874T/A) functional gene variant in the development of CV disease in RA patients. 相似文献19.

MC4R contributes to the control of food intake and energy expenditure, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MC4R gene have clearly been associated with backfat depth, feed intake and growth rate in pig. Our objectives were to scan the complete coding region by sequencing in samples from eight cattle breeds, to estimate the frequency of the SNPs in the MC4R gene and to determine if individual genotypes were associated with several economic traits. Five polymorphisms were detected at position 19 (C/A), 20 (A/T), 83(T/C), 128 (G/A), and 1069 (G/C), and the last one was significantly associated with backfat thickness value (P < 0.01, n = 245). The linkage disequilibrium analysis indicated that the SNP markers C19A, A20T, T83C and G128A were completely linked (r 2 = 1). 相似文献

The Apolipoprotein A5 (APO A5) ?1131T/C, fibrinogen β (FgB) ?455G/A, ?148C/T, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB gene polymorphisms have been indicated to be associated with the coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, but the individual study results are still inconsistent. To explore the relationship between APO A5 ?1131T/C, FgB ?455G/A, ?148C/T, and CETP TaqIB gene polymorphisms and CAD in the Chinese population, the current meta-analysis involving 15,055 subjects from 40 individual studies was conducted. The pooled odds ratio (OR) for the association between APO A5 ?1131T/C, FgB ?455G/A, ?148C/T, and CETP TaqIB gene polymorphisms and CAD and its corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were evaluated by random or fixed effect model. A significant association between APO A5 ?1131T/C gene polymorphism and CAD in the Chinese population was found under an allelic (OR: 1.33, 95 % CI: 1.22–1.44, P < 0.00001), recessive (OR: 1.67, 95 % CI: 1.25–2.25, P = 0.0006), dominant (OR: 0.820, 95 % CI: 0.767–0.876, P = 1.0 × 10?10), homozygous (OR: 2.36, 95 % CI: 1.55–3.58, P < 0.0001) and heterozygous genetic models (OR: 1.136, 95 % CI:1.075–1.200, P = 1.0 × 10?10). A significant association between FgB ?455G/A gene polymorphism and CAD was also detected in the Chinese population under an allelic (OR: 1.50, 95 % CI: 1.25–1.81, P < 0.0001), dominant (OR: 0.864, 95 % CI: 0.819–0.912, P = 1.0 × 10?10), homozygous (OR: 1.616, 95 % CI: 1.213–2.152, P = 0.001) and heterozygous genetic models (OR: 1.245, 95 % CI:1.138–1.361, P = 1.0 × 10?10). No significant association was found between them under a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.124, 95 % CI: 0.844–1.497, P = 0.424). A significant association was also found between FgB ?148C/T gene polymorphism and CAD in the Chinese population under an allelic (OR: 1.34, 95 % CI: 1.06–1.71, P = 0.02), recessive (OR: 1. 65, 95 % CI: 1.02–2.69, P = 0.04), dominant (OR: 0.924, 95 % CI: 0.872–0.978, P = 0.007) and homozygous genetic models (OR: 0.968, 95 % CI: 0.942–0.995, P = 0.018). No significant association was found between them under a heterozygous genetic model (OR: 0.979, 95 % CI: 0.937–1.023, P = 0.342). In the whole Chinese population, no significant association between the CETP TaqIB gene polymorphism and CAD was found under an allelic (OR: 1.17, 95 % CI: 0.94–1.45, P = 0.15), dominant (OR: 1.46, 95 % CI: 0.80–2.67, P = 0.22) or recessive genetic models (OR: 0.68, 95 % CI: 0.32–1.44, P = 0.31). However, in the subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity, there was a significant association between them under an allelic (OR: 1.27, 95 % CI: 1.07–1.52, P = 0.007) and dominant genetic model (OR: 2.04, 95 % CI: 1.49–2.79, P < 0.00001) in the Han subgroup. In the Chinese population, the APO A5 ?1131T/C and FgB ?455G/A, ?148C/T gene polymorphisms were implied to be associated with CAD susceptibility. The APO A5 ?1131C, FgB ?455A, and ?148T alleles might confer susceptibility to CAD. CETP TaqIB gene polymorphism was suggested to be associated with CAD susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Carriers with B1 allele of CETP TaqIB gene might be predisposed to CAD in the Chinese Han population. 相似文献
