Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem in American Indian populations. Recent research has identified associations of polymorphisms in the myosin heavy chain type II isoform A (MYH9) gene with hypertensive CKD in African-Americans. Whether these associations are also present among American Indian individuals is unknown. To evaluate the role of genetic polymorphisms in the MYH9 gene on kidney disease in American Indians, we genotyped 25 SNPs in the MYH9 gene region in 1,119 comparatively unrelated individuals. Four SNPs failed, and one SNP was monomorphic. We inferred haplotypes using seven SNPs within the region of the previously described E haplotype using Phase v2.1. We studied the association between 20 MYH9 SNPs with kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) and CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or renal replacement therapy or kidney transplant) using age-, sex- and center-adjusted models and measured genotyped within the variance component models. MYH9 SNPs were not significantly associated with kidney traits in additive or recessive genetic adjusted models. MYH9 haplotypes were also not significantly associated with kidney outcomes. In conclusion, common variants in MYH9 polymorphisms may not confer an increased risk of CKD in American Indian populations. Identification of the actual functional genetic variation responsible for the associations seen in African-Americans will likely help to clarify the lack of replication of this gene in our population of American Indians. 相似文献

A total of 569 individuals aged 55–85 and Caucasian were genotyped for SNP rs10927887 in the Ka renal chloride channel gene (CLCNKA). The following variables were significantly associated with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of (eGFR) < 60 ml/min./1.73 m2: age, type 2 diabetes, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and the CLCNKA GG genotype (p = 0.03; OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.04–2.62). This novel finding could partly explain the reported greater risk of heart failure linked to the CLCNKA SNP, but requires confirmation on other populations. 相似文献

Background
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a well-known measure of kidney function and is commonly used for the diagnosis and management of patients with chronic kidney disease. The inter-individual variation in eGFR has significant genetic component. However, the identification of underlying genetic susceptibility variants has been challenging. In an attempt to identify and characterize susceptibility genetic variant(s) we previously identified the strongest evidence for linkage of eGFR occurring on chromosome 9q21 in the Mexican American participants of San Antonio Family Heart Study (SAFHS). The objective of the present study was to examine whether the common genetic variants in Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase 2 (NTRK2), a positional candidate gene on 9q21, contribute to variation in eGFR.Results
Twelve tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the NTRK2 gene region were selected (r2 ≥ 0.80, minor allele frequency of ≥ 0.05) from the Hapmap database. SNPs were genotyped by TaqMan assay in the 848 Mexican American subjects participated in the SAFHS. Association analysis between the genotypes and eGFR (estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) were performed by measured genotype approach as implemented in the program SOLAR. Of the 12 common genetic variants examined, the rs1036915 (located in 3′UTR) and rs1187274 (located in intron-14), present in perfect linkage disequilibrium, exhibited an association (P = 0.017) with eGFR after accounting for the effects of age, sex, diabetes, diabetes duration, systolic blood pressure and blood pressure medication. The carriers of minor allele of rs1036915 (G; 38%) had increased eGFR (104 ± 25 ml/min/1.73 m2) in comparison to the carriers of major allele A (98 ± 25 ml/min/1.73 m2).Conclusion
Together, our results suggest for the first time that the genetic variants in NTRK2 may regulate eGFR. 相似文献4.

BackgroundTo date, the cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains a mystery. A balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis maintains intestinal tissue homeostasis. Dissociation-induced myosin-actin contraction results in stem cell apoptosis. This study aiming to evaluate the influence of the myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on inflammatory bowel disease.Subjectsand methods: The study carried on eighty patients with IBD and seventy controls. All participants subjected to history taking, thorough physical examination, colonoscopy and laboratory investigations. Genotyping performed for rs4821480 and rs3752462 by SNP assay real-time PCR methods.ResultsOn analyzing rs3752462 CT and TT genotypes were significantly more frequent in IBD patients as compared to controls with 4.6 fold increase in the risk of IBD. While on analyzing rs4821480, The TG and GG genotypes have significant increased distribution among the IBD patients as compared to the controls with 5.3 fold increase in the risk of IBD and higher prevalence of GG genotype in patients with low hemoglobin level and higher BMI.ConclusionThe rs3752462 T allele and rs4821480 G allele of MYH9 are associated with more susceptibility to IBD. 相似文献

Objective
Though single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the non-muscle myosin gene (MYH9) have been reported to explain most of the excess risk of nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD), in African-Americans, some studies have also shown associations with diabetic end-stage renal disease. We investigated the association of MYH9 SNPs with renal traits in a mixed-ancestry South African population prone to diabetes.Research Design and Methods
Three SNPs known to be associated with CKD (rs4821480, rs5756152 and rs12107) were genotyped using Taqman assay in 716 adults (198 with diabetes) from the Bellville-South community, Cape Town. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) assessed. Multivariable regressions were used to relate the SNPs with renal traits.Results
Mean age was 53.6 years, with the expected differences observed in characteristics by diabetic status. Significant associations were found between rs575152 and serum creatinine, and eGFR in the total population, and in diabetic participants (all p≤0.003), but not in non-diabetics (all p≥0.16), with significant interactions by diabetes status (interaction-p≤0.009). The association with ACR was borderline in diabetic participants (p = 0.05) and non-significant in non-diabetics (p = 0.85), with significant interaction (interaction p = 0.02). rs12107 was associated with fasting-, 2-hour glucose and HbA1c in diabetic participants only (interaction-p≤0.003), but not with renal traits.Conclusion
MYH9 SNPs were associated with renal traits only in diabetic participants in this population. Our findings and other studies suggest that MYH9 may have a broader genetic risk effect on kidney diseases. 相似文献6.

Classical hereditary hemochromatosis involves the HFE-gene and diagnostic analysis of the DNA variants HFE p.C282Y (c.845G > A; rs1800562) and HFE p.H63D (c.187C > G; rs1799945). The affected protein alters the iron homeostasis resulting in iron overload in various tissues. The aim of this study was to validate the TaqMan-based Sample-to-SNP protocol for the analysis of the HFE-p.C282Y and p.H63D variants with regard to accuracy, usefulness and reproducibility compared to an existing SNP protocol. The Sample-to-SNP protocol uses an approach where the DNA template is made accessible from a cell lysate followed by TaqMan analysis. Besides the HFE-SNPs other eight SNPs were used as well. These SNPs were: Coagulation factor II-gene F2 c.20210G > A, Coagulation factor V-gene F5 p.R506Q (c.1517G > A; rs121917732), Mitochondria SNP: mt7028 G > A, Mitochondria SNP: mt12308 A > G, Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9-gene PCSK9 p.R46L (c.137G > T), Plutathione S-transferase pi 1-gene GSTP1 p.I105V (c313A > G; rs1695), LXR g.-171 A > G, ZNF202 g.-118 G > T. In conclusion the Sample-to-SNP kit proved to be an accurate, reliable, robust, easy to use and rapid TaqMan-based SNP detection protocol, which could be quickly implemented in a routine diagnostic or research facility. 相似文献

We explored associations between SNPs in cytokine/cytokine receptor genes and cellular immunity in subjects following primary smallpox vaccination. We also analyzed the genotype–phenotype associations discovered in the Caucasian subjects among a cohort of African-Americans. In Caucasians we found 277 associations (p < 0.05) between gene SNPs and inter-individual variations in IFN-α, IL-12p40, IL-1β, IL-2, and TNF-α secretion levels. A collection of SNPs in the IL1RN, IL2RB, IL4R, IL6, IL10RB, IL12A, and IL12RB2 genes had consistent associations among both Caucasians and African-Americans. A regulatory SNP (rs452204) in the IL1RN gene was significantly associated with higher levels of IL-2 secretion in an allele dose-dependent manner in both race groups (p = 0.05 for Caucasians and p = 0.002 for African-Americans). IL12RB2 polymorphism rs3790567 was associated with a dose-related decrease in IL-1β secretion (p = 0.009 for Caucasians and p = 0.01 for African-Americans). Our results demonstrate that variations in smallpox vaccine-induced cytokine responses are modulated by genetic polymorphisms in cytokine and cytokine receptor genes. 相似文献

In this meta-analysis study, SNPs were investigated for their association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in both Arab and Caucasian ethnicities. A total of 55 SNPs were analyzed, of which 11 fulfilled the selection criteria, and were used for analysis. It was found that TCF7L2 rs7903146 was significantly associated with a pooled OR of 1.155 (95%C.I. = 1.059–1.259), p < 0.0001 and I2 = 78.30% among the Arab population, whereas among Caucasians, the pooled OR was 1.45 (95%C.I. = 1.386–1.516), p < 0.0001 and I2 = 77.20%. KCNJ11 rs5219 was significantly associated in both the populations with a pooled OR of 1.176(1.092–1.268), p < 0.0001 and I2 = 32.40% in Caucasians and a pooled OR of 1.28(1.111–1.475), p = 0.001 among Arabs. The ACE I/D polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with a pooled OR of 1.992 (95%C.I. = 1.774–2.236), p < 0.0001 and I2 = 83.20% among the Arab population, whereas among Caucasians, the pooled OR was 1.078 (95%C.I. = 0.993–1.17), p = 0.073 and I2 = 0%. Similarly, MTHFR C677T polymorphism was also found to be significantly associated among Arabs with a pooled OR of 1.924 (95%C.I. = 1.606–2.304), p < 0.0001 and I2 = 27.20%, whereas among Caucasians, the pooled OR was 0.986 (95%C.I. = 0.868–1.122), p = 0.835 and I2 = 0%. Meanwhile PPARG-2 Pro12Ala, CDKN2A/2B rs10811661, IGF2BP2 rs4402960, HHEX rs7923837, CDKAL1 rs7754840, EXT2 rs1113132 and SLC30A8 rs13266634 were found to have no significant association with T2D among Arabs. In conclusion, it seems from this study that both Arabs and Caucasians have different SNPs associated with T2D. Moreover, this study sheds light on the profound necessity for further investigations addressing the question of the genetic components of T2D in Arabs. 相似文献

Background
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, with multiple genetic and environmental factors involving in its etiology. The toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) gene has been reported to have important roles in the development and progression of SLE. We performed a case–control study to investigate the effects of 4 SNPs in the TLR9 gene in the development of SLE in Northern Chinese population.Methods
Four SNPs including rs187084, rs5743836, rs352139 and rs352140 were genotyped using the SNaPshot® method. A group of 430 SLE patients were compared to 424 normal controls. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 and HaploView v 4.1 software.Results
The frequency distributions of SNP rs351240 and haplotype H2 (TGCT) and H3 (CATT) were found to differ significantly between patient and control groups (p < 0.05), while other SNPs and haplotypes showed no significant difference between the two cohorts (p > 0.05).Conclusion
The results revealed that variations in the TLR9 gene are associated with SLE, indicating that TLR9 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE in the northern Chinese Han population. 相似文献10.

The hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in lung morphogenesis and cellular responses to lung injury. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and integrative genomics approaches have demonstrated the associations between HHIP polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in non-Asian populations. Here we investigated whether HHIP polymorphisms would also be associated with COPD susceptibility and COPD-related phenotypes in a Chinese Han population. In the present case–control study a total of 680 COPD patients and 687 healthy control subjects were recruited. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1828591, rs13118928, rs6817273, rs10519717, rs12504628, rs13147758) were selected for genotyping. Allele frequencies and genotype distributions were compared between patients and controls. To estimate the strength of association, odds ratios (OR) (with 95% CI) were calculated and potential confounding variables were tested by using logistic regression analysis. Association between haplotypes and COPD outcome was also assessed. We identified that SNP rs12504628 was associated with FEV1/FVC ratio among cases (P = 0.0460). Moreover, the HHIP SNP rs10519717 was associated with the severity of disease (adjusted P-value = 0.0300). The six SNPs showed strong linkage disequilibrium (r2 ≥ 0.9). Three major haplotypes were observed but showed no significant difference between case and control groups (P = 0.4532, 0.0875, and 0.3484, respectively). In conclusion, our study suggests that the HHIP gene may be involved in COPD susceptibility in Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Objective
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is an important lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) receptor in gastric epithelial cell signaling transduction and plays critical roles in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). We investigated the effects of TLR4 gene polymorphisms and gene–environmental interactions on the risk of GC in Northeastern China.Methods
We genotyped two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR4 (rs10116253 and rs1927911) in 217 GC patients and 294 cancer-free controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by unconditional logistic-regression models.Results
Individuals carrying CC genotype of rs10116253 and TT genotype of rs1927911 had a significantly decreased risk of GC (adjusted OR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.18–0.60, P < 0.001 and adjusted OR = 0.37, 95% CI 0.21–0.67, P = 0.001 respectively), compared with TT genotype of rs10116253 and CC genotype of rs1927911. In addition, the SNP effects were additive to the effects of some known environmental factors without any interaction between them in the susceptibility to GC.Conclusion
Our data suggested that TLR4 gene polymorphisms may be associated with a decreased risk of GC in Chinese population. And these SNPs and their combined effects with environmental factors may be associated with the risk of GC. 相似文献12.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MYH9 and APOL1 on chromosome 22 (c22) are powerfully associated with non-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in African Americans (AAs). Many AAs diagnosed with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) have non-diabetic kidney disease, potentially masking detection of DN genes. Therefore, genome-wide association analyses were performed using the Affymetrix SNP Array 6.0 in 966 AA with T2DN and 1,032 non-diabetic, non-nephropathy (NDNN) controls, with and without adjustment for c22 nephropathy risk variants. No associations were seen between FRMD3 SNPs and T2DN before adjusting for c22 variants. However, logistic regression analysis revealed seven FRMD3 SNPs significantly interacting with MYH9—a finding replicated in 640 additional AA T2DN cases and 683 NDNN controls. Contrasting all 1,592 T2DN cases with all 1,671 NDNN controls, FRMD3 SNPs appeared to interact with the MYH9 E1 haplotype (e.g., rs942280 interaction p-value = 9.3E−7 additive; odds ratio [OR] 0.67). FRMD3 alleles were associated with increased risk of T2DN only in subjects lacking two MYH9 E1 risk haplotypes (rs942280 OR = 1.28), not in MYH9 E1 risk allele homozygotes (rs942280 OR = 0.80; homogeneity p-value = 4.3E−4). Effects were weaker stratifying on APOL1. FRMD3 SNPS were associated with T2DN, not type 2 diabetes per se, comparing AAs with T2DN to those with diabetes lacking nephropathy. T2DN-associated FRMD3 SNPs were detectable in AAs only after accounting for MYH9, with differential effects for APOL1. These analyses reveal a role for FRMD3 in AA T2DN susceptibility and accounting for c22 nephropathy risk variants can assist in detecting DN susceptibility genes. 相似文献

Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with body mass index (BMI)/obesity. In this study, we aim to examine the associations of obesity related loci with risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a children population from China. A total of 431 children with MetS and 3046 controls were identified based on the modified ATPIII definition. 11 SNPs (FTO rs9939609, MC4R rs17782313, GNPDA2 rs10938397, BDNF rs6265, FAIM2 rs7138803, NPC1 rs1805081, SEC16B rs10913469, SH2B1 rs4788102, PCSK1rs6235, KCTD15 rs29941, BAT2 rs2844479) were genotyped by TaqMan 7900. Of 11 SNPs, GNPDA2 rs10938397, BDNF rs6265, and FAIM2 rs7138803 were nominally associated with risk of MetS (GNPDA2 rs10938397: odds ratio (OR) = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04–1.40, P = 0.016; BDNF rs6265: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.03–1.39, P = 0.021; FAIM2 rs7138803: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.02–1.40, P = 0.025); genetic risk score (GRS) was significantly associated with risk of MetS (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.04–1.15, P = 5.26 × 10− 4). After further adjustment for BMI, none of SNPs were associated with risk of MetS (all P > 0.05); the association between GRS and risk of MetS remained nominally (OR = 1.02, 95%CI = 0.96–1.08, P = 0.557). However, after correction for multiple testing, only GRS was statistically associated with risk of MetS in the model without adjustment for BMI. The present study demonstrated that there were nominal associations of GNPDA2 rs10938397, BDNF rs6265, and FAIM2 rs7138803 with risk of MetS. The SNPs in combination have a significant effect on risk of MetS among Chinese children. These associations above were mediated by adiposity. 相似文献

Plasma levels of adiponectin are decreased in type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Our aim was to use a family-based analysis to identify the genetic variants of the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene that are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, among Arabs. We screened 328 Arabs in one large extended family for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the ADIPOQ gene. Two common SNPs were detected: rs17300539 and rs266729. Evidences of association between traits related to the metabolic syndrome and the SNPs were studied by implementing quantitative genetic association analysis. Results showed that SNP rs266729 was significantly associated with body weight (p-value = 0.001), waist circumference (p-value = 0.037), BMI (p-value = 0.015) and percentage of total body fat (p-value = 0.003). Up to 4.1% of heritability of obesity traits was explained by the rs266729 locus. Further cross-sectional analysis showed that carriers of the G allele had significantly higher values of waist circumference, BMI and percentage of total body fat (p-values 0.014, 0.004 and 0.032, respectively). No association was detected between SNP rs266729 and other clusters of metabolic syndrome or their traits except for HOMA-IR and fasting plasma insulin levels, p-values 0.035 and 0.004, respectively. In contrast, both measured genotype and cross-sectional analysis failed to detect an association between the SNP rs17300539 with traits and clusters of metabolic syndrome. In conclusion, we showed family-based evidence of association of SNP rs266729 at ADIPOQ gene with traits defining obesity in Arab population. This is important for future prediction and prevention of obesity in population where obesity is in an increasing trend. 相似文献

Background
Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Despite several factors such as ionizing radiation exposure or rare genetic syndromes have been associated with the development of glioblastoma, no underlying cause has been identified for the majority of cases. We thus aimed to investigate the role of DNA repair polymorphisms in modulating glioblastoma risk.Methods
Genotypic and allelic frequencies of seven common polymorphisms in DNA repair genes involved in nucleotide excision repair (ERCC1 rs11615, ERCC2 rs13181, ERCC6 rs4253079), base excision repair (APEX1 rs1130409, XRCC1 rs25487), double-strand break repair (XRCC3 rs861539) and mismatch repair (MLH1 rs1800734) pathways were analyzed in 115 glioblastoma patients and 200 healthy controls. Haplotype analysis was also performed for ERCC1 rs11615 and ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphisms, located on the same chromosomal region (19q13.32).Results
Our results indicated that carriers of the ERCC2 Gln/Gln genotype were associated with a lower glioblastoma risk (OR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.12–0.89; P = 0.028), whereas carriers of the MLH1 AA genotype were associated with an increased risk of glioblastoma (OR = 3.14, 95% CI 1.09–9.06; P = 0.034). Furthermore, the haplotype containing the C allele of ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphism and the T allele of ERCC1 rs11615 polymorphism was significantly associated with a protective effect of developing glioblastoma (OR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.16–0.71; P = 0.004).Conclusions
These results pointed out that MLH1 rs1800734 and ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphisms might constitute glioblastoma susceptibility factors, and also suggested that the chromosomal region 19q could be important in glioblastoma pathogenesis. 相似文献18.
Studies investigating the association between interleukin-13 (IL-13) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs20541 and allergic rhinitis (AR) risk have reported conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the possible association of IL-13 SNP rs20541 with AR risk. Eight studies were included in the present meta-analysis (2153 cases and 3931 controls). The combined results based on all studies showed that IL-13 SNP rs20541 was associated with increased AR risk (Gln versus Arg: odds ratio (OR) = 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.30; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.20–1.92; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.06–1.33; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.13–1.79). When stratifying for race, IL-13 SNP rs20541 exhibited increased AR risk in Asians (Gln versus Arg: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.06–1.36; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.17–2.12; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.04–1.44; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.09–1.93), while no significant association was detected in Caucasians (Gln versus Arg: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 0.93 ~ 1.78; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 0.96–2.11; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 0.89–2.05; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 0.93–2.02). This meta-analysis supported that IL-13 SNP rs20541 was associated with AR, particularly in Asians. 相似文献

Missense mutations in the APOL1 gene are highly associated with end stage kidney disease risk previously attributed to the MYH9 gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shay Tzur Saharon Rosset Revital Shemer Guennady Yudkovsky Sara Selig Ayele Tarekegn Endashaw Bekele Neil Bradman Walter G. Wasser Doron M. Behar Karl Skorecki 《Human genetics》2010,128(3):345-350
MYH9 has been proposed as a major genetic risk locus for a spectrum of nondiabetic end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We use recently released sequences from the 1000 Genomes Project to identify two western African-specific missense mutations (S342G and I384M) in the neighboring APOL1 gene, and demonstrate that these are more strongly associated with ESKD than previously reported MYH9 variants. The APOL1 gene product, apolipoprotein L-1, has been studied for its roles in trypanosomal lysis, autophagic cell death, lipid metabolism, as well as vascular and other biological activities. We also show that the distribution of these newly identified APOL1 risk variants in African populations is consistent with the pattern of African ancestry ESKD risk previously attributed to MYH9. Mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium (MALD) localized an interval on chromosome 22, in a region that includes the MYH9 gene, which was shown to contain African ancestry risk variants associated with certain forms of ESKD (Kao et al. 2008; Kopp et al. 2008). MYH9 encodes nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIa, a major cytoskeletal nanomotor protein expressed in many cell types, including podocyte cells of the renal glomerulus. Moreover, 39 different coding region mutations in MYH9 have been identified in patients with a group of rare syndromes, collectively termed the Giant Platelet Syndromes, with clear autosomal dominant inheritance, and various clinical manifestations, sometimes also including glomerular pathology and chronic kidney disease (Kopp 2010; Sekine et al. 2010). Accordingly, MYH9 was further explored in these studies as the leading candidate gene responsible for the MALD signal. Dense mapping of MYH9 identified individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and sets of such SNPs grouped as haplotypes that were found to be highly associated with a large and important group of ESKD risk phenotypes, which as a consequence were designated as MYH9-associated nephropathies (Bostrom and Freedman 2010). These included HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), primary nonmonogenic forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and hypertension affiliated chronic kidney disease not attributed to other etiologies (Bostrom and Freedman 2010). The MYH9 SNP and haplotype associations observed with these forms of ESKD yielded the largest odds ratios (OR) reported to date for the association of common variants with common disease risk (Winkler et al. 2010). Two specific MYH9 variants (rs5750250 of S-haplotype and rs11912763 of F-haplotype) were designated as most strongly predictive on the basis of Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis (Nelson et al. 2010). These MYH9 association studies were then also extended to earlier stage and related kidney disease phenotypes and to population groups with varying degrees of recent African ancestry admixture (Behar et al. 2010; Freedman et al. 2009a, b; Nelson et al. 2010), and led to the expectation of finding a functional African ancestry causative variant within MYH9. However, despite intensive efforts including re-sequencing of the MYH9 gene no suggested functional mutation has been identified (Nelson et al. 2010; Winkler et al. 2010). This led us to re-examine the interval surrounding MYH9 and to the detection of novel missense mutations with predicted functional effects in the neighboring APOL1 gene, which are significantly more associated with ESKD than all previously reported SNPs in MYH9. 相似文献

Our previous studies identified a functional SNP, R952Q in the LRP8 gene, that was associated with increased platelet activation and familial and early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) in American and Italian Caucasian populations. In this study, we analyzed four additional SNPs near R952Q (rs7546246, rs2297660, rs3737983, rs5177) to identify a specific LRP8 SNP haplotype that is associated with familial and early-onset CAD and MI. We employed a case–control association design involving 381 premature CAD and MI probands and 560 controls in GeneQuest, 441 individuals from 22 large pedigrees in GeneQuest II, and 248 MI patients with family history and 308 controls in an Italian cohort. Like R952Q, LRP8 SNPs rs7546246, rs2297660, rs3737983, and rs5177 were significantly associated with early-onset CAD/MI in both population-based and family-based association studies in GeneQuest. The results were replicated in the GeneQuest II family-based population and the Italian population. We then carried out a haplotype analysis for all five SNPs including R952Q. One common haplotype (TCCGC) was significantly associated with CAD (P = 4.0 × 10− 11) and MI (P = 6.5 × 10− 12) in GeneQuest with odds ratios of 0.53 and 0.42, respectively. The results were replicated in the Italian cohort (P = 0.004, OR = 0.71). The sib-TDT analysis also showed significant association between the TCCGC haplotype and CAD in GeneQuest II (P = 0.001). These results suggest that a common LRP8 haplotype TCCGC confers a significant protective effect on the development of familial, early-onset CAD and/or MI. 相似文献
