Telomeres are critical in maintaining genomic stability. Genetic variants in telomere pathway genes may affect telomere and telomerase function, and subsequently cancer risk. We evaluated 126 SNPs from 10 genes related to telomere regulation in relation to bladder cancer risk. Five SNPs, 4 from TEP1 gene and 1 from PINX1 gene, were found to be highly significant (P<0.01). Out of these, the most significant association was found in rs2228041 of TEP1 (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.19–2.31) while rs1469557 of PINX1 had a protective effect (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.61–0.93). Haplotype analysis showed that a TEP1 haplotype consisting of the variant alleles of 7 SNPs exhibited a 2.28 fold increased risk (95% CI 1.13–4.60). We then performed cumulative analysis of multiple risk variants, as well as Classification and Regression Tree (CART) to look for gene-gene interactions. In cumulative effect analysis, the group with 4–5 risk variants had an OR of 2.57 (95% CI = 1.62–4.09) versus the reference group with 0 risk variants. The CART analysis categorized individuals into five subgroups with different bladder cancer risk profiles based on their distinct genotype background. To our knowledge, this is one of the largest, most comprehensive studies on bladder cancer risk concerning telomere-regulating pathway gene SNPs and our results support that genetic variations of telomere maintenance modulate bladder cancer risk individually and jointly. 相似文献

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms located in the microRNA biogenesis pathway could alter the risk for developing prostate cancer. The present study was intended to identify common genetic variants responsible for prostate cancer susceptibility in the GEMIN4 gene. The high-resolution melting method was used to genotype seven polymorphisms (rs7813, rs4968104, rs3744741, rs2740348, rs1062923, rs910925, and rs910924) in the GEMIN4 gene in 300 prostate cancer patients and 244 matched controls. The encouraging discovery in this study was in the rs2740348. Patients carrying the variant heterozygote GC genotype in the rs2740348 were at a 36% decreased risk of prostate cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.42, 0.99). Similarly, this variant allele carrier showed significant risk for prostate cancer (OR = 0.64). In addition, subjects carrying the homozygote TT genotype in the rs7813 had a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer (OR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.07, 6.28). Two common haplotypes were found to be associated with decreased risk of prostate cancer. In the subgroup analysis, higher risk of more severity of prostate cancer (clinical stage III and IV) was observed in individuals with the rs7813 TT genotype (OR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.02, 7.64), while lower risk of more severity of prostate cancer was observed in individuals with the rs3744741 T allele (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.50, 0.96). Overall, our study provides substantial support for the association between the GEMIN4 gene and the risk of prostate cancer. 相似文献

Recent evidence has suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located at 5p15.33 contribute to susceptibilities for several cancer types, including prostate cancer. To determine whether SNP rs402710 in this region plays a role in prostate cancer, we analyzed these associations in a Chinese population; 251 prostate cancer patients and 273 control subjects were included in this case-control study. Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. We found that subjects carrying the CC homozygote had a decreased risk for prostrate cancer compared to those carrying TT/TC genotypes (odds ratio (OR) = 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.48-0.98, P = 0.038). Compared with the TT homozygote, subjects carrying the CC homozygote also had a decreased risk for prostate cancer (OR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.51-0.99, P = 0.043). We conclude that rs402710 polymorphisms in the 5p15.33 region are associated with prostate cancer risk in the Chinese population. Further investigations with large cohorts and done worldwide are warranted to determine whether our findings are detected in other populations. 相似文献

YKL-40 was reported to be associated with the risk of hypertension. Whether the variants of CHI3L1 gene were associated with both YKL-40 levels and hypertension needs to be further elucidated. In a 1:1 matched case-control study of 507 pairs with available YKL-40 levels and DNA samples nested in a prospective cohort of Chinese subjects, the 15 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CHI3L1 gene were genotyped. The levels of YKL-40 among different genotypes of each SNP were compared after false discovery rate adjustment. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between the genotypes and the risk of hypertension. Subjects with the genetic variants for rs10399931, rs1538372, rs2071580, rs2297839 and rs4950928 had lower YKL-40 levels. The genetic variant for rs10399805 was associated with higher YKL-40 level. Subjects with the genotype of GA/AA of rs10399805 had a 1.34-fold risk of hypertension compared with those with GG genotype in the total population (P = .05). Subjects with heterozygote/rare homozygote genotype of rs4950928 and rs2297839 both had a significantly lower risk of hypertension compared with those with major homozygote genotype among men. The ORs (95% CIs) were 0.46 (0.23-0.89) and 0.49 (0.26-0.91), respectively. The above three SNPs could significantly improve the accuracy of risk prediction for hypertension based on the conventional factors. The genotypes of rs10399805, rs4950928 and rs2297839 may hopefully become stable biomarkers for predicting the risk of hypertension. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that function as negative regulators of gene expression. Common genetic
variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) in miRNA genes may alter their expression or maturation resulting in varied
functional consequences. Until now, several studies had evaluated the association between the polymorphisms in the hsa-miR-196a2
rs11614913 and cancer risk in diverse populations and in multiple types of cancer, with contradictory outcomes. Therefore,
here we performed a meta-analysis to address the association between this polymorphism and cancer risk. A total of nine studies
involving 6,540 cases and 7,562 controls were retrieved based on PubMed. Our analysis demonstrated that hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913
CC genotype significantly increased the cancer risk in homozygote comparison model compared to TT genotype (OR = 1.18; 95%
CI, 1.01–1.68). Moreover, significant association of this polymorphism with breast cancer was found based on homozygote comparison
model (OR = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.01–1.26) and dominant model (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01–1.23). In addition, hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913
CC genotype was significantly associated with cancer risk in Chinese and Indian (OR = 1.21; 95% CI, 1.05–1.40), but not in
Caucasians (OR = 1.03; 95% CI, 0.89–1.19). Taken together, our results indicate that the polymorphism of hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913
is associated with cancer susceptibility, especially with breast cancer and in Chinese and Indian populations. 相似文献

Genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNA) or in the miRNA binding sites may affect the miRNA dependent gene expression regulation, which has been implicated in various cancers, including breast cancer, and may alter individual susceptibility to cancer. We investigated associations between miRNA related SNPs and breast cancer risk. First we evaluated 2,196 SNPs in a case-control study combining nine genome wide association studies (GWAS). Second, we further investigated 42 SNPs with suggestive evidence for association using 41,785 cases and 41,880 controls from 41 studies included in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). Combining the GWAS and BCAC data within a meta-analysis, we estimated main effects on breast cancer risk as well as risks for estrogen receptor (ER) and age defined subgroups. Five miRNA binding site SNPs associated significantly with breast cancer risk: rs1045494 (odds ratio (OR) 0.92; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88–0.96), rs1052532 (OR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95–0.99), rs10719 (OR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.94–0.99), rs4687554 (OR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95–0.99, and rs3134615 (OR 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.05) located in the 3′ UTR of CASP8, HDDC3, DROSHA, MUSTN1, and MYCL1, respectively. DROSHA belongs to miRNA machinery genes and has a central role in initial miRNA processing. The remaining genes are involved in different molecular functions, including apoptosis and gene expression regulation. Further studies are warranted to elucidate whether the miRNA binding site SNPs are the causative variants for the observed risk effects. 相似文献

A number of case-control studies were conducted to investigate the association of IL6 gene polymorphisms with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the results were not always consistent. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between the IL6 gene polymorphisms and CRC. Data were collected from the following electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, BIOSIS Previews, HuGENet, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, with the last report up to July 2011. A total of 17 studies involving 4 SNPs were included (16 for rs1800795, 2 for rs1800796, 2 for rs1800797, and 1 for rs13306435). Overall, no significant association of these polymorphisms with CRC was found in heterozygote comparisons as well as homozygote comparison, dominant genetic model and recessive model. In subgroup analysis, among studies using population-based controls, fulfilling Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, or using Taqman genotyping method, we did not find any significant association. However, the rs1800795 C allele was significantly associated with reduced risk for CRC among persons who regularly or currently took NSAIDs (four studies, OR = 0.750; 95 % CI, 0.64-0.88; P = 0.474 for heterogeneity test), and with increased risk for CRC among persons who drank (one study, OR = 1.97; 95 % CI, 1.32-2.94). Individuals with the rs1800795 C allele in the IL6 gene have a significantly lower risk of CRC, but in the setting of NSAIDs use. Further studies are merited to assess the association between the IL6 gene polymorphisms and CRC risk among persons who take NSAIDs, drink or smoke, etc. 相似文献

The considerable uncertainty regarding cancer risks associated with inherited mutations of BRCA2 is due to unknown factors. To investigate whether common genetic variants modify penetrance for BRCA2 mutation carriers, we undertook a two-staged genome-wide association study in BRCA2 mutation carriers. In stage 1 using the Affymetrix 6.0 platform, 592,163 filtered SNPs genotyped were available on 899 young (<40 years) affected and 804 unaffected carriers of European ancestry. Associations were evaluated using a survival-based score test adjusted for familial correlations and stratified by country of the study and BRCA2*6174delT mutation status. The genomic inflation factor (λ) was 1.011. The stage 1 association analysis revealed multiple variants associated with breast cancer risk: 3 SNPs had p-values<10(-5) and 39 SNPs had p-values<10(-4). These variants included several previously associated with sporadic breast cancer risk and two novel loci on chromosome 20 (rs311499) and chromosome 10 (rs16917302). The chromosome 10 locus was in ZNF365, which contains another variant that has recently been associated with breast cancer in an independent study of unselected cases. In stage 2, the top 85 loci from stage 1 were genotyped in 1,264 cases and 1,222 controls. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for stage 1 and 2 were combined and estimated using a retrospective likelihood approach, stratified by country of residence and the most common mutation, BRCA2*6174delT. The combined per allele HR of the minor allele for the novel loci rs16917302 was 0.75 (95% CI 0.66-0.86, ) and for rs311499 was 0.72 (95% CI 0.61-0.85, ). FGFR2 rs2981575 had the strongest association with breast cancer risk (per allele HR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.18-1.39, ). These results indicate that SNPs that modify BRCA2 penetrance identified by an agnostic approach thus far are limited to variants that also modify risk of sporadic BRCA2 wild-type breast cancer. 相似文献

Previous studies on the association between glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3-β) polymorphisms (rs334558 and rs6438552) and Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility remained inconsistent. Thus, the goal of this study was to re-examine their exact association by a meta-analysis. All eligible studies were identified by a systematic literature search of multiple databases. Six studies (3105 cases and 4387 controls) on rs334558 and six studies (2579 cases and 4091 controls) on rs6438552 were included. The quality of these studies was generally good according to the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS). The meta-analysis showed null association between the two variants and PD susceptibility in all genetic models from the overall or Caucasian population. However, the analysis of rs334558 revealed that the risk of PD decreased in heterozygote, dominant or additive models (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.74; OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.51, 0.78; OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.71, 0.94, respectively) from the Eastern Asian population. Moreover, the analysis on the homozygote, heterozygote, dominant or additive models suggested that rs6438552 also reduced the PD risk (OR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.24, 0.84; OR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.39, 0.97; OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.87; OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.88, respectively) in the Eastern Asian population. Together, the findings suggest that the two variants both reduced the risk of PD in the Eastern Asian subgroup but not in the overall and Caucasian populations, which should be cautiously interpreted because of limited number of included studies. 相似文献

Background
Chronic exposure to arsenic in drinking water is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.Objectives
This study evaluated the interaction between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes associated with diabetes and arsenic exposure in drinking water on the risk of developing T2DM.Methods
In 2009–2011, we conducted a follow up study of 957 Bangladeshi adults who participated in a case-control study of arsenic-induced skin lesions in 2001–2003. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between 38 SNPs in 18 genes and risk of T2DM measured at follow up. T2DM was defined as having a blood hemoglobin A1C level greater than or equal to 6.5% at follow-up. Arsenic exposure was characterized by drinking water samples collected from participants'' tubewells. False discovery rates were applied in the analysis to control for multiple comparisons.Results
Median arsenic levels in 2001–2003 were higher among diabetic participants compared with non-diabetic ones (71.6 µg/L vs. 12.5 µg/L, p-value <0.001). Three SNPs in ADAMTS9 were nominally associated with increased risk of T2DM (rs17070905, Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17–4.50; rs17070967, OR = 2.02, 95%CI 1.00–4.06; rs6766801, OR = 2.33, 95%CI 1.18–4.60), but these associations did not reach the statistical significance after adjusting for multiple comparisons. A significant interaction between arsenic and NOTCH2 (rs699780) was observed which significantly increased the risk of T2DM (p for interaction = 0.003; q-value = 0.021). Further restricted analysis among participants exposed to water arsenic of less than 148 µg/L showed consistent results for interaction between the NOTCH2 variant and arsenic exposure on T2DM (p for interaction = 0.048; q-value = 0.004).Conclusions
These findings suggest that genetic variation in NOTCH2 increased susceptibility to T2DM among people exposed to inorganic arsenic. Additionally, genetic variants in ADAMTS9 may increase the risk of T2DM. 相似文献12.

AIM: To explore the potential association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene cluster and the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) susceptibility in never-smoking Chinese. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted with 200 NSCLC patients and 200 healthy controls, matched on age and sex. Five SNPs distributed in CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene cluster were selected for genotyping. The association between genotype and lung cancer risk was evaluated by computing the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses with adjustment for gender and age. RESULTS: For CHRNA3 rs578776 status, data were available in 199 NSCLC patients and 199 controls. The G/G homozygote in CHRNB4 rs7178270 had a reduced risk of developing NSCLC (OR = 0.553; 95% CI = 0.309–0.989; P = .0437), especially squamous cell carcinoma (SQC) (OR = 0.344; 95% CI = 0.161–0.732; P = .0043), compared with those who carry at least one C allele (C/C and C/G). The polymorphisms of rs578776, rs938682, rs17486278, and rs11637635 were not significantly different between controls and cases or between controls and histologic subgroups, adenocarcinoma and SQC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, we found that the SNP of CHRNB4 rs7178270 is significantly associated with reduced risk of NSCLC, especially with reduced risk of SQC in never-smoking Chinese population. 相似文献

DNA repair genes play an important role in maintaining stability and integrity of genomic DNA. Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes may cause variations in DNA repair capacity phenotype and thus contribute to cancer risk. In this case-control study of 1,125 gastric cancer cases and 1,196 cancer-free controls, we investigated the association between three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, rs2296147T > C, rs2094258C > T and rs873601G > A) in the xeroderma pigmentosum group G (XPG) gene and gastric cancer risk. We used the Taqman assays to genotype these three SNPs and logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). We found that only the rs873601A variant genotypes were associated with a significant higher risk for gastric adenocarcinoma (adjusted OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.03-1.64 for AA vs. GG and adjusted OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.49 for AA vs. GG/AG). Stratification analysis indicated that this risk was more pronounced in subgroups of older age (>59 years), males, ever-smokers, and patients with NGCA. All these were not found for the other two SNPs (rs2296147T > C and rs2094258C > T). We then performed expression analysis using gastric cancer adjacent normal tissues from 141 patients and found that the A variant allele was associated with non-significantly reduced expression of XPG mRNA (P(trend) = 0.107). Further analysis using mRNA expression data from the HapMap suggested that the A allele was associated with significantly reduced expression of XPG mRNA in normal cell lines for 45 Chinese (P(trend) = 0.003) as well as for 261 subjects with different ethnicities (P(trend) = 0.001). These support the hypothesis that functional XPG variants may contribute to the risk of gastric cancer. Larger studies with different ethnic populations are warranted to validate our findings. 相似文献

Published data on the association between the rs895819 (A > G) polymorphism in the terminal loop of pre-miR-27a and cancer risk is inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the association between this polymorphism and cancer. The PubMed, Web of science, and Embase databases were searched for articles on the hsa-miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and cancer risk published up to November 24, 2012. The genotype data obtained in the searches were pooled in our meta-analysis, and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the association. Seven studies with a total of 3849 cases and 4781 controls were eligible for analysis. Overall, we found no significant associations between the hsa-miR-27a rs895819 (A > G) polymorphism and cancer susceptibility (homozygote model: OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.68–1.14; heterozygote model: OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.79–1.17; dominant model: OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.79–1.12; recessive model: OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.69–1.12). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, we found that the rs895819 AG genotype was associated with a decreased risk of cancer in white individuals (dominant model: OR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.76–0.94; heterozygote model: OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.75–0.94). This meta-analysis indicated that the hsa-miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism did not correlate with overall cancer risk in the general population. However, the rs895819 AG genotype may protect against the development of cancer in white individuals. Larger, better studies of homogeneous cancer patients are needed to further assess the correlation between this polymorphism and cancer risk. 相似文献

PurposeTranslesion DNA synthesis (TLS) plays an important role in promoting replication through DNA lesions. Genetic polymorphisms in TLS genes may have potential roles in lung cancer development in humans.MethodsWe evaluated the association between genetic variants in six TLS genes and the risk and survival of lung cancer in a case–control study in China. Included in the study are 224 lung cancer patients and 448 healthy controls.ResultsCarriers of the G allele of POLκ rs5744724 had significantly reduced risk of lung cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44–0.89), comparing with those carrying the C allele, and the AA genotype of PCNA rs25406 was also associated with significantly decreased cancer risk compared with the major homozygote alleles (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.25–0.86). Haplotype analysis showed that subjects with the POLκ C-G (rs5744533–rs5744724) haplotype had decreased risk of lung cancer (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49–0.98), comparing with those carrying the C-C haplotype. Besides, the heterozygote of REV1 rs3087386 and rs3792136 were independent prognostic factors for lung cancer survival with hazard radio (HR) 1.54 (95% CI: 1.12–2.12) and 1.44 (95% CI: 1.06–1.97) respectively.ConclusionsOur findings suggested that genetic variants in POLκ and PCNA genes may play roles in the susceptibility of lung cancer, and REV1 gene may have roles in lung cancer survival in Chinese men. 相似文献

Background: The role of estrogen and progesterone in the development of endometrial cancer is well documented. Few studies have examined the association of genetic variants in sex hormone-related genes with endometrial cancer risk. Methods: We conducted a case-control study nested within three cohorts to examine the association of endometrial cancer risk with polymorphisms in hormone-related genes among 391 cases (92% postmenopausal at diagnosis) and 712 individually-matched controls. We also examined the association of these polymorphisms with circulating levels of sex hormones and SHBG in a cross-sectional analysis including 596 healthy postmenopausal women at blood donation (controls from this nested case-control study and from a nested case-control study of breast cancer in one of the three cohorts). Results: Adjusting for endometrial cancer risk factors, the A allele of rs4775936 in CYP19 was significantly associated (OR(per allele)=1.22, 95% CI=1.01-1.47, p(trend)=0.04), while the T allele of rs10046 was marginally associated with increased risk of endometrial cancer (OR(per allele)=1.20, 95% CI=0.99-1.45, p(trend)=0.06). PGR rs1042838 was also marginally associated with risk (OR(per allele)=1.25, 95% CI=0.96-1.61, p(trend)=0.09). No significant association was found for the other polymorphisms, i.e. CYP1B1 rs1800440 and rs1056836, UGT1A1 rs8175347, SHBG rs6259 and ESR1 rs2234693. Rs8175347 was significantly associated with postmenopausal levels of estradiol, free estradiol and estrone and rs6259 with SHBG and estradiol. Conclusion: Our findings support an association between genetic variants in CYP19, and possibly PGR, and risk of endometrial cancer. 相似文献

Peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase, NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1) plays an important role in cell transformation and oncogenesis. Association between PIN1 promoter polymorphisms and cancer risk was reported in several cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, ?667T>C, rs2233679 and ?842G>C, rs2233678) on PIN1 promoter and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The two SNPs were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in a total of 334 native Chinese subjects consisting of 178 cases and 156 controls. The results indicated that the ?667CT heterozygote and ?667CC homozygote exhibited a significantly decreased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma when compared with ?667TT homozygote (OR = 0.639, 95 % CI = 0.452–0.903, p = 0.011 for ?667CT; and OR = 0.441, 95 % CI = 0.213–0.915, p = 0.038 for ?667CC, respectively). In the ?842G>C polymorphism, compared with ?842GG homozygote, only ?842CG heterozygote but not ?842CC homozygote had a significantly decreased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (OR = 0.465, 95 % CI = 0.249–0.871, p = 0.010). Genotype in the two SNPs in patients showed no significant associations with the clinicopathologic features examined. Our study showed that the minor genotypes of PIN1 promoter (?667CT, ?667CC and ?842CG) were associated with decreased risk of NPC in a Chinese population, suggested that PIN1 promoter polymorphisms might play an important role in NPC carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Recently an association was demonstrated between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs9939609, within the FTO locus and obesity as a consequence of a genome wide association (GWA) study of type 2 diabetes in adults. We examined the effects of two perfect surrogates for this SNP plus 11 other SNPs at this locus with respect to our childhood obesity cohort, consisting of both Caucasians and African Americans (AA). Utilizing data from our ongoing GWA study in our cohort of 418 Caucasian obese children (BMI>or=95th percentile), 2,270 Caucasian controls (BMI<95th percentile), 578 AA obese children and 1,424 AA controls, we investigated the association of the previously reported variation at the FTO locus with the childhood form of this disease in both ethnicities. The minor allele frequencies (MAF) of rs8050136 and rs3751812 (perfect surrogates for rs9939609 i.e. both r(2) = 1) in the Caucasian cases were 0.448 and 0.443 respectively while they were 0.391 and 0.386 in Caucasian controls respectively, yielding for both an odds ratio (OR) of 1.27 (95% CI 1.08-1.47; P = 0.0022). Furthermore, the MAFs of rs8050136 and rs3751812 in the AA cases were 0.449 and 0.115 respectively while they were 0.436 and 0.090 in AA controls respectively, yielding an OR of 1.05 (95% CI 0.91-1.21; P = 0.49) and of 1.31 (95% CI 1.050-1.643; P = 0.017) respectively. Investigating all 13 SNPs present on the Illumina HumanHap550 BeadChip in this region of linkage disequilibrium, rs3751812 was the only SNP conferring significant risk in AA. We have therefore replicated and refined the association in an AA cohort and distilled a tag-SNP, rs3751812, which captures the ancestral origin of the actual mutation. As such, variants in the FTO gene confer a similar magnitude of risk of obesity to children as to their adult counterparts and appear to have a global impact. 相似文献

Genetic variants may determine susceptibility of congenital heart disease (CHD). To evaluate the impact of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), TGFβ receptor II (TGFβR2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms on conotruncal heart defects susceptibility, we genotyped six functional polymorphisms TGFβ1 rs1800469 C>T, TGFβR2 rs3087465 G>A, VEGF ?2578C>A, ?1498T>C, ?634G>C and +936C>T in a hospital based case–control study of 244 conotruncal heart defects cases and 136 non-CHD controls in a Chinese population. Logistic regression analyses revealed that if the TGFβ1 rs1800469 CC homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, subjects carrying the CT variant heterozygote had a significant 0.48-fold decreased risk of conotruncal heart defects [odds ratio (OR) = 0.52; 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.30–0.88], subjects carrying the TT variant homozygote had a significant 0.47-fold decreased risk of conotruncal heart defects (OR 0.53; 95 % CI 0.28–1.00). In stratification analyses, the TGFβ1 rs1800469 C>T genotype was associated with a decreased risk for tetralogy of fallot in homozygote comparisons (OR 0.47; 95 % CI 0.22–0.99), a decreased risk for transposition of great artery in the dominant genetic model (OR 0.49; 95 % CI 0.28–0.87) and heterozygote comparisons (OR 0.45; 95 % CI 0.24–0.83). Our findings suggest that TGFβ1 rs1800469 C>T polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased risk of conotruncal heart defects. TGFβR2 rs3087465 G>A, VEGF ?2578C>A, ?1498T>C, ?634G>C and +936C>T polymorphisms may not play a role in the susceptibility of conotruncal heart defects. 相似文献

Background: Gelsolin (GSN) is one of the most abundant actin-binding proteins, and is involved in cancer development and progression.Patients and methods: A hospital-based case-control study including 201 patients with OSCC and 199 healthy controls was conducted. Seventeen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of GSN were investigated by Sequenom Mass ARRAY and iPLEX-MALDI-TOF technology.Results: Through comparison of the 17 SNPs on GSN gene between the two groups, SNP rs1078305 and rs10818524 were verified to be significantly associated with an increased risk of OSCC. For GSN rs1078305, the TT genotype was associated with increased risk for OSCC (OR?=?1.92, 95% CI?=?1.11–3.32, p?=?0.028). CT/TT variants were also associated with increased risk for OSCC compared to the CC genotype (OR?=?1.83, 95% CI?=?1.25–3.84, p?=?0.032).Conclusion: The rs1078305 and rs10818524 SNPs of GSN were associated with increased risk for OSCC development in a Chinese Han population. 相似文献
