Genome-wide association study of early-onset and late-onset postpartum depression: the IGEDEPP prospective study. Eur Psychiatry 2024; 67:1-36. [PMID: 38555957 PMCID: PMC11059250 DOI: 10.1192/j.eurpsy.2024.26] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Postpartum depression (PPD) appears at two peak periods: early-onset prior to 2 months after delivery and late-onset (2 months after delivery and beyond). The aim of our study is to evaluate the different genetic factors associated with early- and late-onset PPD. With the French multicenter interaction of gene and environment of depression during postpartum (IGEDEPP) cohort, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 234 women with early-onset PPD and 223 women with late-onset PPD, as well as 1,204 controls with no history of lifetime depression. We performed post-GWAS analyses: functional mapping and annotation of GWAS results using MAGMA thanks to Functional Mapping and Annotation of Genome-Wide Association Studies (FUMA), expression quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses, mapping using data from the PsychENCODE and GTEx, and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis based on published GWAS. We found two new significant candidate loci for early-onset PPD, rs6436132 in PTPRN gene on chromosome 2 and rs184644645 in RAD18 on chromosome 14, respectively, and one region of interest with five significant associated SNPs in chromosome 20 for late-onset PPD. Variant rs6436132 is the most significant associated with early-onset PPD, and it is a QTL that significantly modifies the expression and splicing of the PTPRN gene in different brain tissues. We also found an enrichment of uterus tissue in the early expression of PPD genes. PRS analysis showed a genetic overlap between both early and late-onset PPD and major depressive disorder, but only early-onset PPD overlaps with bipolar disorder. Our study presents two GWAS separately, highlighting two candidate loci for early-onset PPD and one different region of interest for late-onset PPD. These results have important consequences in our understanding of these disorders, especially since our data reinforce the hormonal pathophysiological hypotheses for early-onset PPD.

The Association between Inefficient Repair of DNA Double-Strand Breaks and Common Polymorphisms of the HRR and NHEJ Repair Genes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2619. [PMID: 38473866 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation affecting up to 2.0% of adults around the world. The molecular background of RA has not yet been fully elucidated, but RA is classified as a disease in which the genetic background is one of the most significant risk factors. One hallmark of RA is impaired DNA repair observed in patient-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The aim of this study was to correlate the phenotype defined as the efficiency of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair with the genotype limited to a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of DSB repair genes. We also analyzed the expression level of key DSB repair genes. The study population contained 45 RA patients and 45 healthy controls. We used a comet assay to study DSB repair after in vitro exposure to bleomycin in PBMCs from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays were used to determine the distribution of SNPs and the Taq Man gene expression assay was used to assess the RNA expression of DSB repair-related genes. PBMCs from patients with RA had significantly lower bleomycin-induced DNA lesion repair efficiency and we identified more subjects with inefficient DNA repair in RA compared with the control (84.5% vs. 24.4%; OR 41.4, 95% CI, 4.8-355.01). Furthermore, SNPs located within the RAD50 gene (rs1801321 and rs1801320) increased the OR to 53.5 (95% CI, 4.7-613.21) while rs963917 and rs3784099 (RAD51B) to 73.4 (95% CI, 5.3-1011.05). These results were confirmed by decision tree (DT) analysis (accuracy 0.84; precision 0.87, and specificity 0.86). We also found elevated expression of RAD51B, BRCA1, and BRCA2 in PBMCs isolated from RA patients. The findings indicated that impaired DSB repair in RA may be related to genetic variations in DSB repair genes as well as their expression levels. However, the mechanism of this relation, and whether it is direct or indirect, needs to be elucidated.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy worldwide. Possible manifestations of RA can be represented by a wide variability of symptoms, clinical forms, and course options. This multifactorial disease is triggered by a genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Both clinical and genealogical studies have demonstrated disease case accumulation in families. Revealing the impact of candidate gene missense variants on the disease course elucidates understanding of RA molecular pathogenesis. A multivariate genomewide association study (GWAS) based analysis identified the genes and signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, these identified RA candidate gene variants only explain 30% of familial disease cases. The genetic causes for a significant proportion of familial RA have not been determined until now. Therefore, it is important to identify RA risk groups in different populations, as well as the possible prognostic value of some genetic variants for disease development, progression, and treatment. Our review has two purposes. First, to summarise the data on RA candidate genes and the increased disease risk associated with these alleles in various populations. Second, to describe how the genetic variants can be used in the selection of drugs for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints and affects 1% of the population. Polymorphisms of genes that encode proteins that primarily participate in inflammation may influence RA occurrence or become useful biomarkers for certain types of anti-rheumatic treatment.Areas covered: The authors summarize the recent progress in our understanding of the genetics of RA. In the last few years, multiple variants of genes that are associated with RA risk have been identified. The development of new technologies and the detection of new potential therapeutic targets that contribute to novel drug discovery are also described.Expert opinion: There is still the need to search for new genes which may be a potential target for RA therapy. The challenge is to develop appropriate strategies for achieving insight into the molecular pathways involved in RA pathogenesis. Understanding the genetics, immunogenetics, epigenetics and immunology of RA could help to identify new targets for RA therapy. The development of new technologies has enabled the detection of a number of new genes, particularly genes associated with proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, B- and T-cell activation pathways, signal transducers and transcriptional activators, which might be potential therapeutic targets in RA.

Abstract
We investigated kinase insert domain-containing receptor (KDR) polymorphisms and protein levels in relation to susceptibility to and severity of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). 641 RA patients and 340 controls (HC) were examined for the rs1870377 KDR variant by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method and for rs2305948 and rs2071559 KDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. KDR serum levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rs1870377 KDR variant has shown association with RA under the codominant (p = 0.02, OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.09–2.85) and recessive models (p = 0.019, OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.07–2.20). KDR rs2305948 was associated with RA under the dominant model (p = 0.005, OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.10–1.73). Under the codominant model, the frequency of the rs2071559 TC and GG genotypes were lower in RA patients than in controls (p < 0.001, OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.37–0.69, and p = 0.002, OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.39–0.81). KDR rs2071559 T and rs2305948 A alleles were associated with RA (p = 0.001, OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.45–0.81 and p = 0.008, OR = 1.71, CI = 1.15–2.54). KDR rs2305948SNP was associated with Disease Activity Score (DAS)-28 score (p < 0.001), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score (p < 0.001), number of swollen joints (p < 0.001), mean value of CRP (p < 0.001). A higher KDR serum level was found in RA patients than in HC (8018 pg/mL versus 7381 pg/mL, p = 0.002). Present results shed light on the role of KDR genetic variants in the severity of RA.

Abstract
Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of a central part of the neural retina (macula) and a leading cause of blindness in elderly people. While it is known that the AMD is a multifactorial disease, genetic factors involved in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neovascularization are currently being widely studied in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in RAD51B, TRIB1, COL8A1, and COL10A1 genes on AMD development. Methods Case-control study involved 254 patients diagnosed with early AMD, 244 patients with exudative AMD, and 942 control subjects. The genotyping of RAD51B (rs8017304 and rs2588809), TRIB1 (rs6987702, rs4351379, and rs4351376), COL8A1 (rs13095226), and COL10A1 (rs1064583) was carried out using TaqMan assays by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Results Statistically significant difference was found in genotype (TT, TC, and CC) distribution of COL8A1 rs13095226 between exudative AMD and control groups (60.2%, 33.6%, and 6.1% vs. 64.9%, 32.3%, and 2.9%, respectively, p = 0.036). Also, comparing with TT+TC, rs13095226 CC genotype was associated with 3.5-fold increased odds of exudative AMD development (OR = 3.540; 95% CI: 1.415-8.856; p = 0.007). Conclusion Our study revealed a strong association between a variant in COL8A1 (rs13095226) and exudative AMD development.
