Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22), is an archetypal non-HLA autoimmunity gene. It is one of the most prominent genetic contributors to type 1 diabetes mellitus outside the HLA region, and prevalence of its risk variants is subject to enormous geographic variability. Here, we address the genetic background of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus of Armenian descent. Armenia has a population that has been genetically isolated for 3000 years. We hypothesized that two PTPN22 polymorphisms, rs2476601 and rs1310182, are associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons of Armenian descent. In this association study, we genotyped the allelic frequencies of two risk-associated PTPN22 variants in 96 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 100 controls of Armenian descent. We subsequently examined the associations of PTPN22 variants with the manifestation of type 1 diabetes mellitus and its clinical characteristics. We found that the rs2476601 minor allele (c.1858T) frequency in the control population was very low (q = 0.015), and the trend toward increased frequency of c.1858CT heterozygotes among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus was not significant (OR 3.34, 95% CI 0.88-12.75; χ2 test p > 0.05). The control population had a high frequency of the minor allele of rs1310182 (q = 0.375). The frequency of c.2054-852TC heterozygotes was significantly higher among the patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.35-4.24; χ2 test p < 0.001), as was the frequency of the T allele (OR 4.82, 95% CI 2.38-9.76; χ2 test p < 0.001). The rs2476601 c.1858CT genotype and the T allele correlated negatively with the insulin dose needed three to six months after diagnosis. The rs1310182 c.2054-852CC genotype was positively associated with higher HbA1c at diagnosis and 12 months after diagnosis. We have provided the first information on diabetes-associated polymorphisms in PTPN22 in a genetically isolated Armenian population. We found only a limited contribution of the prototypic gain-of-function PTPN22 polymorphism rs2476601. In contrast, we found an unexpectedly close association of type 1 diabetes mellitus with rs1310182.

Wu X, Zhao S, Huang W, Huang M, Xie J, Liu G, Chang S. Relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism of NOS2 gene and inheritance of allergic rhinitis in children. Front Genet 2023; 14:1126212. [PMID: 36845379 PMCID: PMC9945187 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1126212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a common chronic disease, and its high incidence has a great negative impact on the quality of life of many people, especially children. In this paper, through in-depth analysis of NOS2 gene polymorphism, the protective mechanism of NOS2 gene against AR was studied to provide theoretical and scientific basis for the diagnosis of children with AR. It was concluded that the concentration of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in rs2297516 was 0.24 IU/mL compared with that in normal children. rs3794766 specific IgE concentration in the children group was increased by 0.36 IU/mL, which was higher than that in the healthy children group; the difference of rs7406657 specific IgE concentration between the children group and the healthy group was 0.03 IU/mL. The total serum IgE concentration in the healthy children group was lower than that in the infant group, and the change of Rs3794766 was the least, followed by rs2297516 and rs7406657. This means that rs7406657 is the highest, rs2297516 had general genetic correlation with AR patients, and rs3794766 had the least genetic correlation with AR patients. Among the three groups of SNP loci, the healthy children group was higher than the patient children group, indicating that AR reduces the gene frequency of the three loci, and the reduction of gene frequency will also increase the susceptibility of children to AR, because the frequency of gene occurrence will affect the gene sequence. In conclusion, smart medicine and gene SNPS can promote the detection and treatment of AR.

GWAS of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Reveals Genetic Overlap with Autoimmune Diseases, Not Atopic Diseases. J Invest Dermatol 2023; 143:67-77.e15. [PMID: 35933036 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2022.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Although chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common disease, GWASs of CSU are lacking. We aimed to identify susceptibility SNPs by performing a GWAS in Chinese Han adults with CSU. The discovery cohort included 430 CSU cases and 482 healthy controls. The GWAS findings were validated in 800 CSU cases and 900 healthy controls. Genetic, functional enrichment, and bioinformatic analyses of genome-wide significant SNPs were performed to assess the association between CSU and autoimmunity or atopy. Five genome-wide significant SNPs were identified: rs434124/LILRA3, rs61986182/IGHG1/2, rs73075571/TDGF1, rs9378141/HLA-G, and rs3789612/PTPN22. The first four SNPs were in linkage disequilibrium with autoimmune-related diseases‒associated SNPs and were cis-expression quantitative trait loci in immune cells. The five SNPs-annotated genes were significantly enriched in immune processes. Higher polygenic risk scores and allele frequencies of rs3789612∗T, rs9378141∗C, and rs73075571∗G were significantly associated with autoimmune-related CSU phenotypes, including positive antithyroglobulin IgG, positive anti-FcεRIα IgG, total IgE <40 IU/ml, and positive antithyroid peroxidase IgG but not with atopic or allergic sensitized CSU phenotypes. This GWAS of CSU identifies five risk loci and reveals that CSU shares genetic overlap with autoimmune diseases and that genetic factors predisposing to CSU mainly manifest through associations with autoimmune traits.

[PMID: 34221216 PMCID: PMC8233375 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2021.100548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in inflammation; however, their role in allergic rhinitis (AR) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed circRNA expression and identified a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network through which circRNAs regulate AR pathogenesis. Methods We analyzed circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA expression profiles in the nasal mucosa by high-throughput sequencing (HTS), using a fold-change >1.5 and p-value < 0.05 to pinpoint significantly differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in AR. A DEcircRNA-DEmiRNA-DEmRNA crosstalk network was then constructed using bioinformatics and statistical analysis. Gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analyses were performed to identify the biological terms enriched in the network; whereas RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to confirm the circRNAs. Results A total of 264 DEcircRNAs were identified by HTS, including 120 upregulated and 144 downregulated in AR compared to controls. A DEcircRNA-DEmiRNA-DEmRNA crosstalk network was constructed with 17 miRNAs, 11 circRNAs, 29 mRNAs, and 64 interaction pairs. These genes were involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, TNF biosynthesis, inflammatory responses, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and Toll-like receptors. Of the 11 DEcircRNAs, hsa_circ_0008668 and circTRIQK were upregulated, whereas hsa_circ_0029853 and circRNA_01002 were downregulated in AR tissues. Sanger sequencing confirmed the back-splicing junctions of these circRNAs. Conclusions We constructed a novel DEcircRNA-DEmiRNA-DEmRNA network for AR that provides a basis for future studies to investigate its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Exp Ther Med 2020; 20:102. [PMID: 32973951 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2020.9232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common upper airway disease attributed to a variety of risk factors, such as environmental exposures and genetic susceptibility. The commonly observed comorbidity of asthma and AR in the clinic suggests the presence of shared genetic risk factors and biological mechanisms between these diseases. Interleukin (IL)-33 has been indicated to be an important factor driving asthma susceptibility and pathogenesis using both genome-wide association studies and functional studies in model animals. Although previous studies have reported the putative association of this gene with AR, evidence for the association of genetic variations of IL-33 with the disease is still missing. To examine whether variations in the IL-33 gene confer a genetic risk of AR, a total of 769 patients with AR and 769 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited among Han Chinese residents in the Hubei province, and 14 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the IL-33 gene were examined for their association with the risk of AR. The results indicated that five SNPs, which were in a moderate linkage disequilibrium and were located in the 5'-flanking region of IL-33, exhibited significant associations with the risk of AR, and these associations were additionally supported by genotypic and haplotypic analyses. Notably, three of the five IL-33 SNPs have been previously reported to exhibit genome-wide associations with asthma, and their alleles were also revealed to confer an increased risk of AR in the present study. In summary, the results of the current study suggested that certain variations in the IL-33 gene represent a potential risk for AR, and indicated a shared genetic basis between AR and asthma.
