Abstract
Background Cretinism is a subtype of congenital hypothyroidism, an endocrine disorder resulting from inadequate thyroid hormone production or receptor deficiency. Genetic abnormalities play a major role in the development of thyroid dysfunction. Methods We recruited 183 participants with cretinism and 119 healthy participants from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and randomly selected 29 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) in TSHB, PAX8, TPO, NKX2-5, and TSHR in all participants. We compared genotype and allele frequencies between cases and controls utilizing the chi-squared test, logistic regression analysis, and haplotype analysis. Results Using the chi-squared test, a single SNP was found to be associated with cretinism (recessive model: rs3754363, OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.27-0.80, P = 0.00519; genotype model: P = 0.01677). We stratified neurological, myxedematous, and mixed type and determined that another SNP was associated with a higher risk when comparing myxedematous type to the neurological type (rs2277923). Conclusion rs3754363 has a statistically significant protective effect on people with cretinism, while rs2277923 may play a greater role in promoting the development of neurocretinism.

[PMID: 35647298 PMCID: PMC9102305 DOI: 10.1515/biol-2022-0058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
NKX2.5 is a transcription factor that plays a key role in cardiovascular growth and development. Several independent studies have been previously conducted to investigate the association between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 606G >C (rs3729753) in the coding region of NKX2.5 and congenital heart disease (CHD). However, the results of these studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, the present study aimed to reveal the relationship between NKX2.5 SNP 606G >C and the risk of CHD as possible in the Chinese population through meta-analysis. After retrieving related articles in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of science, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang DATA, and VIP database until August 2021, a total of eight studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The qualified research data were then merged into allele, dominant, recessive, heterozygous, homozygous, and additive models. Overall results of the current meta-analysis showed that 606G >C was not associated with CHD of the Chinese population in any model. In addition, subgroup analysis based on CHD type gave the same negative result. Results of sensitivity analysis showed that there was no significant correlation after the deletion of each study. Furthermore, it was noted that the results were negative and the heterogeneity was not significant. In conclusion, it was evident that NKX2-5 SNP 606G >C may not lead to the risk of CHD in Chinese population.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a group of structural defects of the heart and the great vessels, and one of the leading causes of death among infants and young adults. Several gene variants are involved in diverse mechanisms of cardiac and vessel development and could thus be considered candidate mutated genes for a congenital heart defect or a specific variant could predispose a person to CHD. In the present study, variants in four such genes are investigated for the first time in a group of young Greek CHD patients: the NFKB1 gene polymorphism (-94ins/ delATTG), rs28362491, NKX2-5 gene polymorphism rs2277923, GATA4 gene polymorphism rs11785481 and RANKL gene polymorphism rs4531631. A total of 43 CHD patients and 100 healthy adults were included in the study. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PRC-RFLP) method was used to genotype the aforementioned polymorphisms of NFKB1, NKX2-5, GATA4 and RANKL. The association analysis identified that there was a protective association between CHD and the A allele of rs2277923 polymorphism (p = 0.004). The D allele of the rs28362491 polymorphism is also a likely risk factor for causing CHD (p = 0.006). The differences of the rs4531631 and rs11785481 variant contribution had no statistical significance between the groups (p >0.05). In conclusion, our results revealed that the rs28362491 and rs2277923 gene polymorphisms, but not the rs4531631 and rs11785481 polymorphisms, may contribute to CHD risk in a cohort of Greek CHD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gene NKX2-5 is a key transcription factor that plays an essential role in normal cardiac development. Although some recent studies have studied the role of polymorphisms in the NKX2-5 gene in congenital heart diseases (CHDs), the results were not consistent and remained uncertain. Therefore, we conduct a review of literature and investigate the association of genetic polymorphisms with CHDs. RESULTS We selected seventeen studies regarding the association of NKX2-5 gene rs2277923 polymorphism with CHDs. Overall, in all the tested genetic models, the 63A > G polymorphism was not significantly associated with increased congenital heart defects risk. We used pooled odds ratios (OR) to calculate the association of CHDs with rs2277923 including allelic model: OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.82-1.21; homozygote model: OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.68-1.33, recessive model: OR 0.89 CI 0.70-1.13, heterozygote model: OR: 1.09, 95%CI 0.87-1.37, dominant model: OR 1.08 CI 0.82-1.42 and overdominant model: OR 1.17 CI 1.01-1.35. In addition, our analysis suggests that no publication bias exists in this meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that 63A > G polymorphism in the NKX2-5 gene was not significantly associated with congenital heart defects. However, in the future, more studies with increased sample size are required that may provide us more definite conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of congenital anomalies in newborns in South Korea was 272.9 per 100,000 in 2005, and 314.7 per 100,000 in 2006. In other studies, the prevalence of congenital anomalies in South Korea was equivalent to 286.9 per 10,000 livebirths in 2006, while it was estimated 446.3 per 10,000 births during the period from 2008 to 2014. Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses analyzing the factors contributing to congenital anomalies have been reported, but comprehensive umbrella reviews are lacking. METHODS We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases up to July 1, 2019, for systematic reviews and meta-analyses that investigated the effects of environmental and genetic factors on any type of congenital anomalies. We categorized 8 subgroups of congenital anomalies classified according to the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Two researchers independently searched the literature, retrieved the data, and evaluated the quality of each study. RESULTS We reviewed 66 systematic reviews and meta-analyses that investigated the association between non-genetic or genetic risk factors and congenital anomalies. Overall, 269 associations and 128 associations were considered for environmental and genetic risk factors, respectively. Congenital anomalies based on congenital heart diseases, cleft lip and palate, and others were associated with environmental risk factors based on maternal exposure to environmental exposures (air pollution, toxic chemicals), parental smoking, maternal history (infectious diseases during pregnancy, pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational diabetes mellitus), maternal obesity, maternal drug intake, pregnancy through artificial reproductive technologies, and socioeconomic factors. The association of maternal alcohol or coffee consumption with congenital anomalies was not significant, and maternal folic acid supplementation had a preventive effect on congenital heart defects. Genes or genetic loci associated with congenital anomalies included MTHFR, MTRR and MTR, GATA4, NKX2-5, SRD5A2, CFTR, and 1p22 and 20q12 anomalies. CONCLUSION This study provides a wide perspective on the distribution of environmental and genetic risk factors of congenital anomalies, thus suggesting future studies and providing health policy implications.

Abstract
Aim: To analyze the association of NKX2.5 gene with congenital heart disease (CHD), and to determine if the variants rs703752, rs3729753 and rs2277923 increase the risk for developing CHD. Materials & methods: PubMed, EBSCO and Web of Science databases were screened to identify eligible studies. Through a comprehensive meta-analysis software, the association between NKX2.5 gene variants and susceptibility of CHD was calculated by pooled odd ratio (ORs) and 95% CI. Results: We observed that the allelic model of rs703752 and rs2277923 increased the risk in the overall population: OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.00-1.55; Z p-value = 0.049; OR = 1.18; 95% CI: 0.01-1.37; Z p-value = 0.036; respectively. Conclusion: Our results suggested that the rs703752 and rs2277923 polymorphisms of the NKX2.5 gene are associated with CHD.

Abstract
Background: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common type of birth defects and a major cause of infant mortality. Although knowledge of genetic risk variants for CHDs is scarce, most cases of CHDs are considered to be due to multifactorial inheritance. Objective: To analyze the association of 14 single nucleotide polymorphic variants previously associated with a risk of CHDs in a Mexican population with isolated CHDs. Materials and Methods: DNA samples obtained from healthy subjects and from subjects with isolated atrial, ventricular, or atrioventricular septal defects living in Northeastern Mexico were analyzed by real time-polymerase chain reaction for allelic discrimination of genetic variants of the genes TBX1, TBX20, ASTX-18-AS1, AXIN1, MTHFR, NKX2.5, BMP4, and NFATc1. The odds ratios (ORs) for allele and genotype frequencies and inheritance models were obtained. Results: Forty-two patients and 138 controls were included. Two variants were found to confer a risk of CHDs: variant rs4720169 of TBX20 in which the OR for the heterozygous state was 1.88 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-3.14, p = 0.010), whereas the OR for the homozygous state was 3.82 (95% CI: 1.18-12.3, p = 0.010); and variant rs12921862 of AXIN1 in which the OR for the heterozygous state was 4.15 (95% CI: 2.42-7.10; p ≤ 0.001), whereas the OR for the homozygous state was 9.2 (95% CI: 1.31-64.7, p = 0.008) for allele A. Conclusion: Genetic variants of the TBX20 and AXIN1 genes confer a significantly increased risk of congenital septal heart defects in a population from Northeastern Mexico.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of transcription factors (NKX2.5, GATA4, TBX5, and FOG2) with congenital heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese population. METHODS PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and Weipu Data were searched for articles on the association of SNPs of target genes with CHD in the Chinese population. If one locus was mentioned in at least two articles, the random or fixed effect model was used to perform a pooled analysis of study results and to calculate the pooled OR and its 95%CI. If a locus was mentioned in only one article, related data were extracted from this article to analyze the association between the SNPs of this locus and CHD. RESULTS Twenty-three articles were included. The Meta analysis showed that there were significant differences between the CHD and control groups in the genotype and allele frequencies of GATA4 rs1139244 and rs867858 and the genotype frequency of GATA4 rs904018, while there were no significant differences in the SNPs of the other genetic loci between the two groups. The single-article analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in the allele frequencies of NKX2.5 rs118026695/rs703752, GATA4 rs884662/rs12825/rs12458/rs3203358/rs4841588, and TBX5 rs6489956. There were no significant differences in the SNPs of FOG2 locus between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The SNPs of some loci in NKX2.5, GATA4, and TBX5 are associated with CHD in the Chinese population, but the association between the SNPs of FOG2 locus and the development of CHD has not been found yet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the differences of NKX2.5 and TBX5 gene mutations between in vitro fertilization (IVF) children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and naturally conceived children with CHD. METHODS Blood samples from 68 IVF children with CHD and 98 naturally conceived children with CHD were collected. The mutations in coding regions 1 and 2 of the NKX2.5 gene, and coding regions 4, 5, and 8 of the TBX5 gene were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. RESULTS An A-to-G mutation at nucleotide 63 (c.63A>G) in coding region 1 of the NKX2.5 gene was found in both IVF and naturally conceived children with CHD. There were no significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies at c.63A>G locus of the NKX2.5 gene between the two groups. No mutations were detected in coding region 2 of the NKX2.5 gene and coding regions 4, 5 and 8 of the TBX5 gene. CONCLUSIONS There is no difference in NKX2.5 and TBX5 gene mutations between IVF and naturally conceived children with CHD. Therefore, it is presumed that assisted reproductive technology may not lead to mutations in the NKX2.5 and TBX5 genes.

Abstract
Gerbode defects are rare Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) constituting approximately one percent cases of congenital heart diseases. The genetic predispositions towards the Gerbode Defect (GD) have remained an unexplored area of study till date. We investigated the genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with Gerbode VSD. Molecular genetic study on Sanger sequencing and subsequent data analysis showed that the contributing sequence variations in the NKX2-5, GATA4 and TBX5 gene lies in one of the highly conserved regions and this region is responsible for encoding a functional protein. The resulting genotype variation may be responsible for causing the diseased phenotype known as GD.

Abstract
The NKX2-5 gene is a vital regulator of cardiac formation and development. Recently, the roles of NKX2-5 63A>G polymorphism and 606G>C polymorphism in congenital heart disease (CHD) have been extensively studied, with conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to better elucidate the associations between NKX2-5 genetic polymorphisms and CHD risk through a meta-analysis. Eligible articles were searched in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar and CNKI up to December 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals were used to detect any potential associations between NKX2-5 genetic polymorphisms and CHD risk. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed with Q test and I (2) statistic. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to test the reliability and stability of the results, and funnel plots were applied to estimate publication bias. A total of 13 case-control studies including 2245 CHD patients and 1953 healthy controls were analyzed. The overall meta-analysis results showed that NKX2-5 63A>G polymorphism and 606G>C polymorphism were not significantly associated with CHD risk. Subgroup analysis was further performed for NKX2-5 63A>G polymorphism based on types of CHD and ethnicity of study population, and similar negative results were found in all subgroups. Our findings suggested that NKX2-5 63A>G polymorphism and 606G>C polymorphism may not be implicated in the pathogenesis of CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth abnormality, especially for sporadic CHD. However, the etiology of sporadic CHD is largely unknown. NKX2-5, the earliest sign of cardiac progenitor cell differentiation, plays a key role in cardiac morphogenesis, and the mutation of this gene can cause sporadic CHD. PURPOSE To investigate the association of genetic variations of NKX2-5 with sporadic CHD in Chinese Bai people. METHODS The whole 2 coding exons and flanking intron sequences of NKX2-5 gene were screened using DNA sequencing in 70 Chinese Bai patients with sporadic CHD and 136 healthy controls. RESULTS A novel heterozygous DNA sequence variant (DSV), 1433A>G, was identified in one tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patient and one persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) patient, but none in controls. The frequency of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2277923 in CHD group was significantly higher than that in control group. The allele and genotype were associated with the occurrence of CHD. CONCLUSION The novel DSV (1433A>G) may be relevant with TOF and PLSVC, and the SNP rs2277923 of NKX2-5 gene contributes to the risk of sporadic CHD in Chinese Bai people.

PLoS One 2015; 10:e0124409.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD), the most common type of birth defect, is still the leading non-infectious cause of infant morbidity and mortality in humans. Aggregating evidence demonstrates that genetic defects are involved in the pathogenesis of CHD. However, CHD is genetically heterogeneous and the genetic components underpinning CHD in an overwhelming majority of patients remain unclear. In the present study, the coding exons and flanking introns of the PITX2 gene, which encodes a paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2essential for cardiovascular morphogenesis as well as maxillary facial development, was sequenced in 196 unrelated patients with CHD and subsequently in the mutation carrier's family members available. As a result, a novel heterozygous PITX2 mutation, p.Q102X for PITX2a, or p.Q148X for PITX2b, or p.Q155X for PITX2c, was identified in a family with endocardial cushion defect (ECD) and Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS). Genetic analysis of the pedigree showed that the nonsense mutation co-segregated with ECD and ARS transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern with complete penetrance. The mutation was absent in 800 control chromosomes from an ethnically matched population. Functional analysis by using a dual-luciferase reporter assay system revealed that the mutant PITX2 had no transcriptional activity and that the mutation eliminated synergistic transcriptional activation between PITX2 and NKX2.5, another transcription factor pivotal for cardiogenesis. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the association of PITX2 loss-of-function mutation with increased susceptibility to ECD and ARS. The findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underpinning ECD and ARS, suggesting the potential implications for the antenatal prophylaxis and personalized treatment of CHD and ARS.

Germline mutations in NKX2-5, GATA4, and CRELD1 are rare in a Mexican sample of Down syndrome patients with endocardial cushion and septal heart defects. Pediatr Cardiol 2015; 36:802-8. [PMID: 25524324 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-014-1091-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2014] [Accepted: 12/11/2014] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are found in ~50 % of Down syndrome (DS) patients. Genetic variants have been implicated, including CRELD1 mutations, but no previous study has examined the candidate genes, NKX2-5 and GATA4, in DS patients with secundum atrial defects (ASDII) and ventricular septal defects (VSD). Furthermore, CRELD1 mutations have not yet been studied in Mexican DS patients with atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD). Mexican DS patients (n = 148) with standard trisomy 21 were classified as follows: group I, normal heart; group II, VSD, ASDII, or both; and group III, AVSD. Mexican healthy controls (n = 113) were also included. Sequence analysis was performed on NKX2-5 and GATA4 in all three groups, and on CRELD1 in only group III. Statistical differences in the percentages of functional variants were analyzed by Fisher's exact test. Three non-synonymous variants in NKX2-5 were identified in the heterozygous state: a novel p.Pro5Ser was found in one DS patient without CHD; the p.Glu21Gln was found in one ASDII patient; and the p.Arg25Cys (R25C) was found in three patients (one from each DS study group). The p.Glu21Gln and R25C were also documented in 0.88 % of the controls. No significant difference was observed between the DS groups and healthy controls. Germline mutations in the NKX2-5, GATA4, and CRELD1 genes do not appear to be associated with CHD in Mexican DS patients. Our findings also support the notion that the R25C variant of NKX2-5 is a polymorphism, as it was not significantly different between our DS patients and controls.
