AbstractAssociation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI (rs1544410) gene polymorphism with the chronic kidney disease (CKD) susceptibility from the published reports are still conflicting. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between VDR BsmI (rs1544410) gene polymorphism and the risk of CKD. The association studies were identified from PubMed, Cochrane Library and China Biological Medicine Database on 1 March 2014, and eligible investigations were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. Nine reports were recruited into this meta-analysis for the association of VDR BsmI gene polymorphism with CKD susceptibility. In this meta-analysis for overall populations, the BsmI B allele BB genotype and bb genotype were not associated with the risk of CKD (B allele: OR?=?1.12, 95% CI: 0.88–1.44, p?=?0.36; BB genotype: OR?=?1.15, 95% CI: 0.81–1.62, p?=?0.43; bb genotype: OR?=?0.86, 95% CI: 0.61–1.20, p?=?0.36). Furthermore, VDR BsmI gene polymorphism was not associated with CKD susceptibility in Asians and in Caucasians. In conclusion, the BsmI gene polymorphism was not associated with CKD susceptibility in overall populations, in Asians and in Caucasians. However, more studies should be conducted to confirm it. 相似文献

Abnormalities in circadian rhythms play an important role in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorders (BD). Previous genetic studies have reported discrepant results regarding associations between circadian genes and susceptibility to BD. Furthermore, plausible behavioral consequences of at-risk variants remain unclear since there is a paucity of correlates with phenotypic biomarkers such as chronotypes. Here, we combined association studies with a genotype/phenotype correlation in order to determine which circadian genes variants may be associated with the circadian phenotypes observed in patients with BD. First, we compared the allele frequencies of 353 single nucleotide polymorphisms spanning 21 circadian genes in two independent samples of patients with BD and controls. The meta-analysis combining both samples showed a significant association between rs774045 in TIMELESS (OR?=?1.49 95%CI[1.18–1.88]; p?=?0.0008) and rs782931 in RORA (OR?=?1.31 95%CI[1.12–1.54]; p?=?0.0006) and BD. Then we used a “reverse phenotyping approach” to look for association between these two polymorphisms and circadian phenotypes in a subsample of patients and controls. We found that rs774045 was associated with eveningness ( p?=?0.04) and languid circadian type ( p?=?0.01), whereas rs782931 was associated with rigid circadian type ( p?=?0.01). Altogether, these findings suggest that these variants in the TIMELESS and RORA genes may confer susceptibility to BD and impact on circadian phenotypes in carriers who thus had lower ability to properly adapt to external cues. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important regulators of angiogenesis. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with the VEGF overexpression and tumor progression in several cancers. This study aimed to determine the association of VEGF rs833061 and rs2010963 polymorphism and their haplotypes with susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Iranian population. A total of 284 colorectal cancer patients (37.3% women, 62.7% men) were enrolled in this study. Healthy controls without evidence of cancer history or family cancer predispositions were frequency-matched to the cases by sex and age (± 5 years). Genotyping was performed by the Sequenom mass ARRAY method and the genotype distribution and risk estimate were analyzed by SPSS software. The correlation between the genotypes and clinicopathological parameters (Dukes stage, phenotype, location, differentiation, and tumor size) among colorectal cancer patients were investigated. We found a significant relationship, between rs833061T/C genotype and their TG haplotype with the age of diagnosis < 60; ( p = 0.012, p = 0.014) and rs2010963G/C genotype with female gender and TG haplotype with third and fourth tumor stage and tumor location ( p = 0.04and p = 0.047). This study showed that rs833061T/C genotype and TG haplotype increase the susceptibility to colon cancer in the Iranian population. This susceptibility has a significant relationship with the age of diagnosis and different stages of the tumor. 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

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world and is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical course. This variability in clinical course has spiked the search for prognostic markers able to predict patient evolution at the moment of diagnosis. Markers demonstrated to be of value are the mutation status of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region genes ( IGHV) and lipoprotein lipase ( LPL) expression. High LPL mRNA expression has been associated with short treatment free (TFS) and decreased overall survival (OS) in CLL. The LPL SNPs rs301 (T<C), rs328 (C<G) and rs13702 (T<C) have been associated with various metabolic disorders, but the association with CLL evolution is unknown. Here, in a cohort of 248 patients, we show that patients with the LPL SNP rs13702 wild-type T/T genotype had significantly shorter OS than patients with C/C and T/C genotypes (median time until CLL related death: 90 and 156 months respectively, p=0.008). The same was observed for LPL SNP rs301 (median time until CLL related death T/T: 102 and C/C, T/C: 144 months, p=0.03). Both SNPs rs301 and rs13702 were significantly associated with each other and notably, no association was found between IGHV status and presence of the SNP genotypes, indicating that these LPL SNPs are reliable prognostic markers that could add extra prognostic and predictive information to classical markers and help to improve the management of CLL. 相似文献

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of mortality that has been associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. The purpose of the present case–control study was to determine the relationships between oxidative stress-related genetic variants and the risk and severity of COPD, as well as, the influence of these variants on inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters. Genotyping of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) + 35 A/C (rs2234694), catalase [A-21T (rs7943316), C-262T (rs1001179)] and glutathione peroxidase 1 (reduced glutathione (GSH)-Px1) 198Pro/Leu (rs1050450) was carried out in 143 patients with COPD and 216 healthy controls using PCR-RFLP. Serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), while the levels of reduced GSH, total antioxidant status (TAS), H 2O 2, lipid peroxides (TBARS) and protein carbonyls (PCs) were determined using spectrophotometric methods. We also evaluated the activities of GSH-Px, catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in both plasma and erythrocytes. We did not observe significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of chosen variants between COPD patients and healthy controls. A significant correlation was retrieved between the SOD1?+?35A/C variant and disease severity (odds ratios (OR) = 0.15, p?=?0.04). In addition, patients having the +35AC genotype presented increased plasma levels of GSH and a reduced level of PCs ( p?=?0.03, p?=?0.04, respectively). The present data highlighted the important role of antioxidant enzymes and their genetic variants in the oxidative stress-mediated pathogenesis and progression of COPD. 相似文献

AbstractThe association studies from different ethnic groups showed that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms might be connected with the susceptibility to ulcerative colitis (UC); however, the conclusions were less consistent. Our study aimed to analyze the associations of UC with common mutations of VDR in Chinese patients. A total of 382 UC patients and 489 healthy controls were recruited. The genotypes of VDR FokI (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410), ApaI (rs7975232) and TaqI (rs731236) were examined by SNaPshot assays. Haplotype analysis was performed in all study subjects. After Bonferroni correction, the mutant alleles and genotypes of VDR FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI did not statistically differ between UC patients and the controls (all p?>?0.0125). However, the mutant allele C and genotype TC?+?CC of FokI gene were significantly increased in patients with mild and moderate UC compared to those with severe UC (C allele: 54.1% versus 39.3%, OR?=?1.83, 95% CI: 1.21–2.75, p?=?0.004; TC?+?CC genotype: 81.6% versus 57.1%, OR?=?3.32, 95% CI: 1.83–6.06, p?<?0.001, respectively). Haplotype analysis showed that the VDR BsmI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphic loci were in a strong linkage disequilibrium. Furthermore, the frequency of AAC haplotype was statistically lower in UC patients than that in the controls (3.8 versus 5.9%, OR?=?0.63, 95% CI: 0.39–1.01, p?=?0.039). In conclusion, the mutation of FokI gene influenced severity of the disease in UC patients. Moreover, the AAC haplotype formed by the VDR BsmI, ApaI and TaqI gene might engender a reduced risk of UC attack. 相似文献

Toll-like receptors trigger the innate immune response by activating various cell types such us macrophages and lymphocytes. We genotyped SNV of TLR3, TRL7, TLR8 and TLR10 in 863 Spanish and 150 Italian patients with Meniere’s disease (MD) and 1,013 controls by using Taqman assays. Real-Time qPCR was used to measure the expression level of TLR10 in peripheral blood leukocytes. The overall dataset showed that the C allele and the CC genotype of rs11096955 in TLR10 gene were more commonly observed in controls than patients (corrected p?=?1?×?10 ?3, OR?=?0.68 [95 % confidence interval, 0.54–0.84] for CC genotype; corrected p?=?1.5?×?10 ?5, OR?=?0.75 [0.66–0.85] for allele C). Moreover, the CC genotype was more frequent in patients with uni- (19 %) than bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (13 %). Logistic regression demonstrated that the time since the onset of MD, Tumarkin crises, hearing stage and rs11096955 were independent factors influencing the risk of bilateral SNHL. In addition, rs11096955 influenced hearing loss progression in patients with bilateral MD. No change in expression of TLR10 was observed according to CC, CA or AA genotypes. Our data suggest that allelic variants of TLR10 gene may influence the susceptibility and time-course of hearing loss of MD in the European population. 相似文献

Background Macrophage inhibitory factor ( MIF) is a pro‐inflammatory cytokine modulating monocyte motility and a pleiotropic regulator of different biological and cellular processes. The MIF‐173G/C (rs755622) polymorphism is found in the promoter region and affects its activity. The present study investigated the MIF polymorphism as a risk factor for the development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Egyptian children. Methods We analyzed the MIF‐173G/C (rs755622) polymorphism in 180 ALL cases and 150 healthy control children by amplification of the gene using a polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction endonuclease digestion and running on an agarose gel for visualization of the product. Results We found a significant incidence of the homozygous polymorphic (CC) genotype and the combined polymorphic genotypes (GC + CC) in ALL patients compared to healthy controls ( p = 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively), whereas the wild‐type genotype (GG) was more common in healthy controls ( p = 0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjustment for MIF different genotypes and other potential risk factors such as age, sex and parental smoking indicated that the CC genotype is the only significant risk factor for the test ( p = 0.02). We also noted that, by increasing the C‐allele representation within the gene [GC, CC], there was an increase in total leukocytic count ( p = 0.09 and p = 0.001, respectively) that may reflect the bad prognostic impact of the polymorphic allele, although further studies are needed. Conclusions The results of the present study indicate that the MIF‐173G/C (rs755622) polymorphism is a risk factor for childhood ALL development with respect to both homozygous and combined polymorphic genotypes. In addition, the increased leukocytic count in synchronization with the increased representation of the polymorphic C‐allele may reflect its bad prognostic impact. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that there is a genetic basis to restless legs syndrome (RLS) development. Occurrence of antipsychotic-induced RLS could also be due to differences in genetic susceptibility. We investigated whether CLOCK and NPAS2 gene polymorphisms are associated with RLS in schizophrenic patients on antipsychotics because RLS symptoms usually manifest during the evening and night. We assessed symptoms of RLS in 190 Korean schizophrenic patients on antipsychotics and divided the subjects into two groups according to the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group diagnostic criteria: (i) subjects who met all the criteria and (ii) the remaining subjects who did not meet all the criteria. We found a significant difference in the number of subjects with different genotype and allele carrier frequencies for the CLOCK gene (rs2412646) between the two groups ( p?=?0.031 and 0.010, respectively). Distribution of CLOCK haplotypes (rs2412646–rs1801260) was significantly different between schizophrenic patients with and without RLS ( p?=?0.021). However, the distributions of allelic, genotypic, and haplotypic variants of NPAS2 (rs2305160 and rs6725296) were not significantly different between the two groups. Our results suggest that CLOCK polymorphisms are associated with increased susceptibility of schizophrenic patients to RLS. We hypothesize that RLS in schizophrenia patients treated with antipsychotics may be a very mild akathisia that manifests during the night and is under control of circadian oscillation. 相似文献

CyclinD proteins, the ultimate recipients of mitogenic and oncogenic signals, play a crucial role in cell-cycle regulation. CyclinD2, one of the cyclinD family, is overexpressed in T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and involved in the pathogenesis of leukemias. Recent reports indicated that CCND2 polymorphisms are associated with human cancer risk, thusly we hypothesized that CCND2 gene polymorphisms may contribute to childhood ALL susceptibility. We selected the polymorphism rs3217927 located in the 3′UTR region of CCND2 to assess its associations with childhood ALL risk in a case-control study. A significant difference was found in the genotype distributions of rs3217927 polymorphism between cases and controls (P = 0.019) and homozygous GG genotype may be an increased risk factor for childhood ALL (adjusted OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.14 —2.99). Furthermore, this increased risk was more pronounced with GG genotype among high-risk ALL (adjusted OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.04–3.67), low-risk ALL (adjusted OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.13–3.87), B-phenotype ALL patients (adjusted OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.08–2.95) and T-phenotype ALL patients (adjusted OR = 2.87, 95% CI = 1.16–7.13). Our results provide evidence that CCND2 polymorphism rs3217927 may be involved in the etiology of childhood ALL, and the GG genotype of rs3217927 may modulate the genetic susceptibility to childhood ALL in the Chinese population. Further functional studies and investigations in larger populations should be conducted to validate our findings. 相似文献

AbstractContext: AXIN1 is a central component of Wnt signalling pathway which is essential for embryonic development. Objective: To investigate whether polymorphisms of AXIN1 contribute to ASD susceptibility. Materials and methods: Three tag SNPs (rs12921862, rs370681 and rs1805105) in AXIN1 were genotyped in 208 ASD patients and 302 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in a Chinese population. Results: Significantly increased ASD risk was observed to be associated with the A allele of rs12921862 ( p?<?0.0001, OR?=?3.096, 95% CI?=?2.037–4.717). Increased ASD risk was observed to be associated with rs370681 in a codominant ( p?=?0.043, OR?=?1.52, 95% CI?=?1.04–2.22) and overdominant model ( p?=?0.016, OR?=?1.57, 95% CI?=?1.08–2.27). Conclusion: rs12921862 and rs370681 may contribute to ASD susceptibility. 相似文献

The expression of IL-2RA and IL-2RB was correlated with breast cancer (BC) progression. However, there is no literature investigating the association of IL-2RA and IL-2RB polymorphisms with BC predisposition among Chinese Han Women. Seven SNPs in IL-2RA and IL-2RB were genotyped by Agena MassARRAY platform among 553 BC patients and 550 healthy controls. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) adjusted for age were calculated for the effect of IL-2RA and IL-2RB variants on BC susceptibility. IL-2RA rs12722498 was a protective factor for BC occurrence (OR?=?0.70, p?=?0.019), especially in subjects with age?≤?52 years (OR?=?0.55, p?=?0.004). IL-2RA rs12569923 (OR?=?9.07, p?=?0.033), IL-2RB rs2281089 (OR?=?0.67, p?=?0.043) and rs9607418 (OR?=?0.59, p?=?0.012) were related to the incidence of estrogen receptor positive (ER?+) BC. IL-2RB rs3218264 (OR?=?1.38, p?=?0.010) and rs9607418 (OR?=?0.56, p?=?0.009) were associated with the risk of developing progesterone receptor positive (PR?+) BC. Rs2281089 (OR?=?1.54, p?=?0.012) and rs1573673 (OR?=?0.72, p?=?0.035) were correlated to Ki-67 level. Moreover, IL-2RB rs2281089 (OR?=?0.72, p?=?0.022) showed a reduced risk of BC metastasis, and IL-2RA rs12722498 (OR?=?0.54, p?=?0.030) had a lower frequency in BC patients with tumor size?>?2 cm. Our study identified the potential effect of genetic variations in IL-2RA and IL-2RB on BC susceptibility and/or BC clinicopathologic indicators among Chinese Han Women. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the IL-23R rs1343151, rs10489629, rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA using (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) the additive model. A total of 13 studies from eight articles involving 10,016 RA patients and 11,967 controls were considered in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis identified a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs1343151 polymorphism in the overall population (OR?=?1.110, 95?% CI?=?1.056–1.168, p?=?4.7?×?10 ?6). Stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between this polymorphism and RA in Europeans (OR?=?1.105, 95?% CI?=?1.049–1.163, p?=?1.4?×?10 ?5). An association was also found between RA and the A allele carrier of the rs1343151 polymorphism in Europeans (OR?=?1.135, 95?% CI?=?1.058–1.217, p?=?4.0?×?10 ?5). Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism in the overall population (OR?=?1.079, 95?% CI?=?1.029–1.131, p?=?0.002) and in Europeans (OR?=?1.092, 95?% CI?=?1.038–1.149, p?=?0.001). Meta-analyses of recessive, dominant, and additive models showed the same pattern as the meta-analysis of the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism, that is, a significant association with RA in Europeans. However, no association was found between the IL-23R rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA susceptibility. This meta-analysis shows that the IL-23R rs1343151 and rs10489629 polymorphisms are associated with the development of RA in Europeans. These findings suggest that the IL-23R genes confer susceptibility to RA in the European population, but further study of this association is required in other ethnic groups. 相似文献

Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic angiitis, and its most disastrous complication is coronary artery lesions (CALs). Recently, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in KD has been reported. rs1814343 is a lncRNA, but the relationship between the lncRNA rs1814343 polymorphism and KD risk remains elusive. Methods We enrolled 1625 Kawasaki disease patients (583 patients with CAL and 1042 without CAL) and 1000 healthy controls from a southern Chinese population. We genotyped the rs1814343 C > T polymorphism in KD and control patients using the TaqMan method. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the strength of the association. Results There was no significant association between the lncRNA rs1814343 C > T polymorphism and KD susceptibility. However, we stratified patients in this study by CAL and sex. First, compared with the control groups, we found that the rs1814343 genotype increased risk for KD patients with CAL (TT vs. CC + CT: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.08–1.71, p = 0.009). Moreover, when KD patients were stratified by CAL, the TT genotypes of this lncRNA polymorphism contributed to a relatively higher occurrence of KD with CAL than that was found in the CC/CT genotype patients (TT vs. CC + CT: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.07–1.69, p = 0.011). In addition, our research suggested that the TT variant genotype in the lncRNA rs1814343 had an obvious risk of KD with CAL susceptibility in male children. Conclusion The lncRNA rs1814343 C > T polymorphism was related to higher susceptibility of KD with CAL. 相似文献
