Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, spine and peripheral joints. The aetiology of ankylosing spondylitis is still unclear. Previous studies have indicated that genetics factors such as human leukocyte antigen HLA-B27 associates to AS susceptibility. We carried out a case-control study to determine whether the genetic polymorphisms of ORAI1 gene, a major component of store-operated calcium channels that involved the regulation of immune system, is a susceptibility factor to AS in a Taiwanese population. We enrolled 361 AS patients fulfilled the modified New York criteria and 379 controls from community. Five tagging single nucleotides polymorphisms (tSNPs) at ORAI1 were selected from the data of Han Chinese population in HapMap project. Clinical statuses of AS were assessed by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global Index (BAS-G). Our results indicated that subjects carrying the minor allele homozygote (CC) of the promoter SNP rs12313273 or TT homozygote of the SNP rs7135617 had an increased risk of HLA-B27 positive AS. The minor allele C of 3′UTR SNP rs712853 exerted a protective effect to HLA-B27 positive AS. Furthermore, the rs12313273/rs7135617 pairwise allele analysis found that C-G (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.27, 2.25; p = 0.0003) and T-T (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.36, 2.27; p<0.0001) haplotypes had a significantly association with the risk of HLA-B27-positive AS in comparison with the T-G carriers. This is the first study that indicate haplotypes of ORAI1 (rs12313273 and rs7135617) are associated with the risk of HLA-B27 positive AS. 相似文献

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a decreased bone mineral density that results in an increased risk of fragility fractures. Previous studies indicated that genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Polymorphisms of the FONG (FTCDNL1) gene (rs7605378) were reported to be associated with the risk of osteoporosis in a Japanese population. To assess whether polymorphisms of the FTCDNL1 gene contribute to the susceptibility and severity of osteoporosis in a Taiwanese population, 326 osteoporosis patients and 595 controls of a Taiwanese population were included in this study. Our results indicated that rs10203122 was significantly associated with osteoporosis susceptibility among female. Our findings provide evidence that rs10203122 in FTCDNL1 is associated with a susceptibility to osteoporosis. 相似文献

The Brazilian Amazon is a hypo-endemic malaria region with nearly 300,000 cases each year. A variety of genetic polymorphisms, particularly in erythrocyte receptors and immune response related genes, have been described to be associated with susceptibility and resistance to malaria. In order to identify polymorphisms that might be associated with malaria clinical outcomes in a Brazilian Amazonian population, sixty-four human single nucleotide polymorphisms in 37 genes were analyzed using a Sequenom massARRAY iPLEX platform. A total of 648 individuals from two malaria endemic areas were studied, including 535 malaria cases (113 individuals with clinical mild malaria, 122 individuals with asymptomatic infection and 300 individuals with history of previous mild malaria) and 113 health controls with no history of malaria. The data revealed significant associations (p<0.003) between one SNP in the IL10 gene (rs1800896) and one SNP in the TLR4 gene (rs4986790) with reduced risk for clinical malaria, one SNP in the IRF1 gene (rs2706384) with increased risk for clinical malaria, one SNP in the LTA gene (rs909253) with protection from clinical malaria and one SNP in the TNF gene (RS1800750) associated with susceptibility to clinical malaria. Also, a new association was found between a SNP in the CTL4 gene (rs2242665), located at the major histocompatibility complex III region, and reduced risk for clinical malaria. This study represents the first association study from an Amazonian population involving a large number of host genetic polymorphisms with susceptibility or resistance to Plasmodium infection and malaria outcomes. Further studies should include a larger number of individuals, refined parameters and a fine-scale map obtained through DNA sequencing to increase the knowledge of the Amazonian population genetic diversity. 相似文献

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, spine and peripheral joints. However, the development of anklosing spondylitis is unclear. Human leukocyte antigens HLA-B27 and ERAP1 have been widely reported to be associated with AS susceptibility. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed that two new susceptibility loci between EDIL3 and HAPLN1 at 5q14.3 (rs4552569) and within ANO6 at 12q12 (rs17095830) contribute to the risk of AS in Han Chinese. In this study, we enrolled 475 AS patients and 475 healthy subjects to assess whether these genetic variations contribute to the susceptibility and the severity of AS in the Taiwanese population. The correlation between genetic polymorphisms, AS activity indexes, (namely, BASDAI, BASFI and BAS-G) and AS complications (uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease) were tested using the markers, rs4552569 and rs17095830. Although no association between rs4552569/rs17095830 genetic polymorphisms and AS susceptibility/severity was found, a significant association between rs17095830 and inflammatory bowel disease was observed in a Taiwanese population. 相似文献

Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1 or YKL40) is a secreted glycoprotein highly expressed in advanced stages of several cancer types, including prostate cancer (PCa). Impacts of genetic variants of CHI3L1 on PCa development have not yet been investigated. The most common well-studied genetic variations are single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore associations of CHI3L1 SNPs with both the susceptibility to PCa and its clinicopathological development. Three promoter SNPs, rs6691378 (−1371, G>A), rs10399805 (−247, G>A) and rs4950928 (−131, C>G), and one non-synonymous SNP, rs880633 (+2950, T>C), were analysed using a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay for genotyping in a cohort of 701 PCa patients and 701 healthy controls. Results indicated that there were no significant associations of PCa susceptibility with these four CHI3L1 SNPs. However, among elderly PCa patients (aged >65 years), it was observed that polymorphic variants (GA + AA) of CHI3L1 rs6691378 and 10399805 were significantly linked to reduced risks of several clinicopathological characteristics, including a high Gleason grade, advanced pathologic T stage and tumour cell invasion. Moreover, analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas database revealed that CHI3L1 expression levels were elevated in PCa tissues compared with normal tissues. Interestingly, higher CHI3L1 expression levels were found to be associated with longer progression-free survival rates in PCa patients. Our findings indicated that levels of CHI3L1 may influence the progression of PCa, and the rs6691378 and 10399805 SNP genetic variants of CHI3L1 are linked to the clinicopathological development of PCa within a Taiwanese population. 相似文献

Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Previous studies from Japan indicated that a gene polymorphism of ITPKC (rs28493229) is responsible for susceptibility to KD. We collected DNA samples from 1,531 Taiwanese subjects (341 KD patients and 1,190 controls) for genotyping ITPKC. In this study, no significant association was noted for the ITPKC polymorphism (rs28493229) between the controls and KD patients, although the CC genotype was overrepresented. We further combined our data with previously published case/control KD studies in the Taiwanese population and performed a meta-analysis. A significant association between rs28493229 and KD was found (Odds Ratio:1.36, 95% Confidence Interval 1.12–1.66). Importantly, a significant association was obtained between rs28493229 and KD patients with aneurysm formation (P = 0.001, under the recessive model). Taken together, our results indicated that C-allele of ITPKC SNP rs28493229 is associated with the susceptibility and aneurysm formation in KD patients in a Taiwanese population. 相似文献

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase C (ITPKC, rs28493229) and caspase-3 (CASP3, rs113420705) are associated with susceptibility to KD in Japanese and Taiwanese populations. This study was conducted to investigate the involvement of these 2 SNPs in the risk for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary artery lesion (CAL) in Taiwanese population. A total of 340 KD patients were subjected to assess by the identification of 2-locus genes model. A combinatorial association between ITPKC (rs28493229) and CASP3 (rs113420705) was found in CAL formation (P = 0.0227, OR: 3.06). KD patients with high-risk genotype had a trend of overrepresentation in IVIG resistance compared with individual SNPs. Our findings suggest the existence of genetic factors affecting patients’ risk for CAL formation and IVIG responsiveness in a Taiwanese population. 相似文献

Several lines of evidence support for a role of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in Alzheimer disease (AD). Most genetic studies have focused on an Alu insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the ACE gene (DCP1) and have yielded conflicting results. We evaluated the association between 15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DCP1, including the I/D variant, and AD in a sample of 92 patients with AD and 166 nondemented controls from an inbred Israeli Arab community. Although there was no evidence for association between AD and I/D, we observed significant association with SNPs rs4343 (P = .00001) and rs4351 (P = .01). Haplotype analysis revealed remarkably significant evidence of association with the SNP combination rs4343 and rs4351 (global P = 7.5 x 10(-7)). Individuals possessing the haplotype "GA" (frequency 0.21 in cases and 0.01 in controls) derived from these SNPs had a 45-fold increased risk of developing AD (95% CI 6.0-343.2) compared with those possessing any of the other three haplotypes. Longer range haplotypes including I/D were even more significant (lowest global P = 1.1 x 10(-12)), but the only consistently associated alleles were in rs4343 and rs4351. These results suggest that a variant in close proximity to rs4343 and rs4351 modulates susceptibility to AD in this community. 相似文献

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a highly familial rheumatic disorder and is considered as a chronic inflammatory disease. Genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of AS. To identify genes which render people susceptible to AS in a Taiwanese population, we selected six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) which were associated with AS in European descendants and Han Chinese. To assess whether the six SNPs contributed to AS susceptibility and severity in Taiwanese population, 475 AS patients fulfilling the modified New York Criteria and 527 healthy subjects were recruited. We found that rs10865331 was significantly associated with AS susceptibility and with Bath AS Function Index (BASFI). The AA and AG genotypes of rs10865331 were also significantly associated with a higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Our findings provided evidence that rs10865331 is associated AS susceptibility and with disease activity (BASFI) in a Taiwanese population. 相似文献

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease and can lead to deformities and severe disabilities, due to irreversible damage of tendons, joints, and bones. A previous study indicated that a DNA repair system was involved in the development of RA. In this study, we investigated the association of four N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) gene polymorphisms (rs3176364, rs710079, rs2858056, and rs2541632) with susceptibility to RA in 384 Taiwanese individuals (192 RA patients and 192 control subjects). Our data show a statistically significant difference in genotype frequency distributions at rs710079 and rs2858056 SNPs between RA patients and control groups (P = 0.040 and 0.029, respectively). Our data also indicated that individuals with the GG genotype at rs2858056 SNP may have a higher risk of developing RA. In addition, compared with the haplotype frequencies between case and control groups, individuals with the GCGC haplotype appeared to be at a greater risk of RA progression (P = 0.003, OR = 1.75; 95% CI = 1.20-1.55). Our results suggest that rs710079 and rs2858056 polymorphisms and the GCGC haplotype in the MPG gene are associated with the risk of RA progression, and thus may be used as molecular markers of RA if they are confirmed by further research. 相似文献

The interleukin (IL)-17 gene plays a key role in host defence against infections from microbes, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Genetic factors contribute to host defence. However, whether genetic variation in IL-17 is associated with altered susceptibility to tuberculosis is unknown. A total of 596 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, 176 extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) patients, and 622 control patients from a Chinese Han population were recruited. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-17F (rs1889570 and rs763780) and one SNP in IL-17A (rs2275913) were genotyped using the SNaPshot technique. Of the three SNPs in the IL-17 gene tested, there was an increased frequency of the rs1889570 G allele and the rs763780 C allele in the PTB patients and an increased frequency of the rs763780 C allele in the EPTB patients compared with the control patients. There were also significant differences in the distribution of the rs763780 genotype between the PTB and EPTB patients and the controls. The patients who had the CT/TT genotype of the rs763780 SNP were more susceptible to tuberculosis, compared to the CC genotype. There was no significant difference observed between the IL-17 SNPs when the PTB and EPTB patients were compared. Genetic variation in IL-17F is associated with altered susceptibility to tuberculosis and may provide valuable information in the development of tuberculosis. 相似文献

IntroductionPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine-metabolic disorders. Evidence of familial aggregation analysis and different clinical traits among different regions and ethnicities indicated that the pathogenesis of PCOS is associated with multiple genetic and environmental factors. Our previous research had identified three susceptibility loci (rs2479106, DENND1A; rs13405728, LHCGR; rs13429458, THADA) for PCOS in Han Chinese women. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between three susceptibility gene polymorphisms and PCOS in Hui ethnic women.Methods151 patients with PCOS (case group) and 99 healthy women (control group) were recruited from the Reproductive Medicine Center of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. Clinical data and serum hormone characteristics of case and control groups were collected and analyzed. The three susceptibility single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been replicated in both case and control groups. Gene polymorphisms were detected by direct sequencing after polymerase chain reaction.ResultsThe Body Mass Index, LH, LH/FSH ratio and total testosterone were significantly elevated in PCOS patients compared to control group (P<0.05). The frequencies of genotype and allele in rs13405728 were significantly different between the PCOS and the control groups (P<0.05). Of the SNP rs13405728, the PCOS cases with TT genotype stayed at a higher level of total testosterone, TG and LDL than those with the CC and CT genotypes. In contrary, there was no statistical difference between the two groups for SNP rs13429458 and rs2479106 (P>0.05).ConclusionThe present study suggested that the SNP rs13405728 in the LHCGR gene was associated with PCOS in Hui ethnic women, and its TT genotype characterized with higher level of TT, TG and LDL. 相似文献

Given the essential role of prolactin (PRL) and its receptor (PRLR) in breast tumorigenesis, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PRL and PRLR genes were associated with breast cancer in Taiwanese women. A total of 160 breast cancer patients and 336 unrelated control Taiwanese women were enrolled in this study. Three SNPs (rs1341238, rs2244502 and rs3756824) in the PRL gene and one SNP (rs10941235) in the PRLR gene were genotyped using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. We showed that the PRLR SNP rs10941235 was associated with breast cancer (P < 0.05) and its genotype frequencies in the breast cancer group were significantly associated (P < 0.05) with the levels of cancer antigen 15-3, a serum biomarker of breast cancer. The PRL SNP rs3756824 was significantly associated with breast cancer metastasis (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the polymorphism rs10941235 in the PRLR gene is associated with breast cancer and cancer antigen 15-3 levels in Taiwanese women. 相似文献

Due to the recent growth of the alien population in Korea, tracking the ethnic origin of human specimens has gained importance in genetic forensics. To address this issue, we developed a method to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which is now being used for personal identification in forensics. We designed a panel of 153 Korean-specific high-performance multiplexed SNPs and performed NGS using 233 DNA samples collected from eight different ethnic groups around the world. Eight Korean-specific genetic markers (rs28777, rs1010872, rs6043841, rs6034433, rs885479, rs2503107, rs4530059, and rs214955) that were screened showed significant variability among the ethnic groups. Three markers were novel SNPs that were absent from our multiplexed SNP panel, and two markers were associated with specific phenotypes. Our high-performance multiplexed SNP panel allows efficient screening of Korean-specific SNP alleles in populations that are genetically similar to the Korean population (e.g., Japanese and northeast Asians including Chinese and Eurasians), which will be useful for personal identification, paternity testing, and forensic investigations. 相似文献

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. IL‐37, a novel member of the IL‐1 family, has anti‐inflammatory activity. Various cytokine genes polymorphisms are reportedly associated with susceptibility to TB infection. However, an association between genetic variations in the IL‐37 gene and susceptibility to TB infection has not been investigated. The aim of this case‐control study was therefore to identify such an association in Saudi subjects, in which five single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL‐37 gene were assessed. Serum concentrations of IL‐37 were evaluated using ELISA, and genetic variants genotyped by multiplex PCR and ligase detection reaction. It was found that the C/C genotype of rs2723176 (–6962 A/C) occurs significantly more frequently in patients with active TB and that the C allele of this SNP is associated with TB. In addition, the C allele of rs2723176 SNP was associated with high circulating concentrations of IL‐37. However, the genotype and allele frequency of the other four SNPs (rs3811046, rs3811047, rs2723186 and rs2723187) were not significantly associated with TB infection. In conclusion, the present data suggest that rs2723176 SNP of IL‐37 is involved in the development of TB infection. Furthermore, high circulating concentrations of IL‐37 may have a negative effect on protective immunity against TB infection. 相似文献

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a dominant cause of acquired heart disease in children due to frequent complicating coronary artery lesions (CALs). Genome-wide association study and linkage analysis have recently identified 6 susceptibility loci at genome-wide significance of P < 5.0 × 10?8 in subjects of Japanese, Taiwanese and European. In present study, we analysed the variants of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genetic loci to investigate their potential effect on KD susceptibility and outcomes in Han Chinese population. As a result, the risk alleles of rs1801274 and rs2254546 were observed significant effect on KD with higher frequencies in 358 patients than those in 815 controls. The significant role of rs1801274, rs2857151 and rs2254546 in KD was found in the multi-variable logistic regression analysis of the SNPs. Two 2-locus and one 3-locus combinations of the SNPs showed significant effect on KD with stronger association with KD relative to comparable single SNP or 2-locus combinations. Significant susceptibility to CALs was found in KD patients with high-risk genotypes at both rs1801274 and rs2857151. The meta-analyses first revealed significant risk for CALs in KD patients carrying risk allele of rs11340705, and the association of rs28493229 with KD was not observed in the Han Chinese. In conclusion, the findings demonstrated that 5 of the 6 genetic loci influence the risk for KD and 3 of them may be involved in secondary CALs formation in Han Chinese. The additive effects of 3 multi-locus combinations on KD/CALs imply that some loci may participate together in certain unknown gene networks related to KD/CALs. Further function studies of the genetic loci are helpful for better understanding the pathophysiology of KD. 相似文献

The association of polymorphisms in exon 1 of the WNK1 gene with essential hypertension in the minority groups of Hani and Yi of China was investigated in the case-control study. The sequence of 1257 bp containing the WNK1 gene exon 1 was determined in 1307 individuals (649essential hypertension subjects and 658 controls) to identify SNPs in Hani and Yi minority groups. Four of eleven previously known SNPs (rs3168640, rs11885, rs11554421 and rs34880640) were identified. The SNP analysis indicated that SNPs rs11885 and rs11554421 were significantly associated with hypertension in both Hani and Yi populations, and rs34880640 was significantly associated with hypertension in Hani but not in Yi population, adjusted for covariates. Haplotype analysis indicated that the haplotype H1 significantly decreased the risk of hypertension in both populations. These results suggested that WNK1 polymorphisms were involved in the predisposition of essential hypertension in Hani and Yi populations and its effects showed a clear population specificity. This finding supported the importance of population specificity in determining the genetic factors associated with diseases and thus disease treatment. 相似文献

Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers in the world. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reported that functional genetic variations in the phospholipase C epsilon gene (PLCE1) were strongly associated with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) in Chinese population. For C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and risk of esophageal cancer, the results were inconsistent. We conducted a replication case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of these two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the development of esophageal cancer. A total of 380 cases and 380 controls were recruited for this study. The genotypes were determined by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS). The variant alleles of the functional polymorphism, PLCE1 rs2274223 SNP was associated with the increased risk of esophageal cancer [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.95, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.05-3.59 for PLCE1 rs2274223 GG vs. AA]. However, there was no significant association between the C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and esophageal cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.99, 95 % CI = 0.63-1.57 for C20orf54 rs13042395 TT vs. CC). Stratified analyses indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AG genotype was more evident among females, younger patients and never drinkers, compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. Stratified analyses also indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 GG genotype was more evident among never smokers and never drinkers compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. These findings indicated that functional polymorphisms PLCE1 rs2274223 might contribute to esophageal cancer susceptibility. 相似文献

A GWAS study has reported that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with predisposition to tuberculosis (TB) in African populations. These two loci represented the long-waited GWAS hits for TB susceptibility. To determine whether these two SNPs are associated with TB in Chinese population, we attempted an replication in a cohort of over one thousand Chinese TB patients and 1,280 healthy controls using melting temperature shift allele-specific genotyping analysis. We found that only SNP rs4331426 was significantly associated with TB in Chinese population (p = 0.011). However, the effect was opposite. The G allele of the SNP in Chinese population is a protective allele (OR = 0.62, 95 % CI 0.44–0.87), while it was the risk allele for African population (OR = 1.19, 95 % CI 1.12–1.26). No significance was found for SNP rs2335704. The results provided an independent support for a role in susceptibility to TB for SNP rs4331426. However, it also indicated that direct predisposition element to TB and the association effects may vary across ethnic groups. 相似文献
