Abstract
Background
COPD is a respiratory disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphism, as a genetic factor, can affect the susceptibility of the disease of COPD. In this study, we assessed the relationship between the polymorphisms of three genes and COPD risk in a Chinese Han population.
Patients and Methods
A total of 376 patients diagnosed with COPD and 284 control subjects were enrolled in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between three polymorphisms (SMAD4 rs10502913, IL-4 rs2070874, HSPA1L rs2227956) and COPD susceptibility.
Results
The SMAD4 rs10502913 GG and AG genotype significantly increased COPD risk (adjusted OR = 2.235, 95% CI 1.198–4.104; adjusted OR = 2.218, 95% CI 1.204–4.151, respectively) compared with the AA genotype. In the stratification analyses, the GG genotype significantly increased the risk of COPD in subjects aged 60 and over (adjusted OR = 2.519, 95% CI 1.266–5.015) and with a smoking history of less than 30 years (p=0.009; adjusted OR = 3.751; 95% CI 1.398–10.062). This increased risk was more pronounced in the group of GOLD I and GOLD II (adjusted OR = 3.628, 95% CI 1.022–12.885; adjusted OR = 2.394, 95% CI 1.004–5.710, respectively). In addition, AG genotype was associated with an increased COPD risk in subjects aged 60 and over (adjusted OR = 2.599, 95% CI 1.304–5.176) and in smokers (p=0.021; adjusted OR = 2.269; 95% CI 1.132–4.548). This increased risk was more obvious in the group of GOLD III COPD (p=0.047; adjusted OR = 2.532; 95% CI 1.012–6.336).
Conclusion
Our present study indicated that the genotype GG and AG of SMAD4 rs10502913 are associated with an increased risk of COPD in a Chinese Han population. Further validation studies with large-scale populations are needed to confirm our findings.
