Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:852. [PMID: 39062631 PMCID: PMC11275600 DOI: 10.3390/genes15070852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a complicated autoimmune disease that is caused by gluten sensitivity. It was commonly believed that CD only affected white Europeans, but recent findings show that it is also prevailing in some other racial groups, like South Asians, Caucasians, Africans, and Arabs. Genetics plays a profound role in increasing the risk of developing CD. Genetic Variations in non-HLA genes such as LPP, ZMIZ1, CCR3, and many more influence the risk of CD in various populations. This study aimed to explore the association between LPP rs1464510 and ZMIZ1 rs1250552 and CD in the Punjabi Pakistani population. For this, a total of 70 human subjects were selected and divided into healthy controls and patients. Genotyping was performed using an in-house-developed tetra-amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between LPP rs1464510 (χ2 = 4.421, p = 0.035) and ZMIZ1 rs1250552 (χ2 = 3.867, p = 0.049) and CD. Multinomial regression analysis showed that LPP rs1464510 A allele reduces the risk of CD by ~52% (OR 0.48, CI: 0.24-0.96, 0.037), while C allele-carrying subjects are at ~2.6 fold increased risk of CD (OR 3.65, CI: 1.25-10.63, 0.017). Similarly, the ZMIZ1 rs1250552 AG genotype significantly reduces the risk of CD by 73% (OR 0.26, CI: 0.077-0.867, p = 0.028). In summary, Genetic Variations in the LPP and ZMIZ1 genes influence the risk of CD in Punjabi Pakistani subjects. LPP rs1464510 A allele and ZMIZ1 AG genotype play a protective role and reduce the risk of CD.

Abstract
Celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune disorder caused by genetic factors and exposure to gluten, is increasingly being recognized and diagnosed in both children and adults. Scientists have been searching for a cure for this disease for many years, but despite the impressive development of knowledge in this field, a gluten-free diet remains the only recommended therapy for all patients. At the same time, the increasing diagnosis of celiac disease in adults, which was considered a childhood disease in the 20th century, has opened a discussion on the etiopathology of the disease, which is proven to be very complex and involves genetic, immunological, nutritional, environmental and gut microbiota-related factors. In this review, we extensively discuss these factors and summarize the knowledge of the proposed state-of-the-art treatments for celiac disease to address the question of whether a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis of celiac disease has opened new directions for therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant differences in immune responses, prevalence or susceptibility of diseases and treatment responses have been described between males and females. Despite this, sex-differentiation analysis of the genetic architecture of inflammatory proteins is largely unexplored. We performed sex-stratified meta-analysis after protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) mapping using inflammatory biomarkers profiled using targeted proteomics (Olink inflammatory panel) of two population-based cohorts of Europeans. RESULTS Even though, around 67% of the pQTLs demonstrated shared effect between sexes, colocalization analysis identified two loci in the males (LINC01135 and ITGAV) and three loci (CNOT10, SRD5A2, and LILRB5) in the females with evidence of sex-dependent modulation by pQTL variants. Furthermore, we identified pathways with relevant functions in the sex-biased pQTL variants. We also showed through cross-validation that the sex-specific pQTLs are linked with sex-specific phenotypic traits. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the relevance of genetic sex-stratified analysis in the context of genetic dissection of protein abundances among individuals and reveals that, sex-specific pQTLs might mediate sex-linked phenotypes. Identification of sex-specific pQTLs associated with sex-biased diseases can help realize the promise of individualized treatment.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087216.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CeD) is an immune-mediated disorder triggered by gluten ingestion that damages the small intestine. Although CeD has been associated with a higher risk for cancer, the role of CeD as a risk factor for specific malignancies, such as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), remains controversial. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR) methods and the summarized results of large genome-wide association studies from public repositories, we addressed the causal relationship between CeD and eight different malignancies. Eleven non-HLA SNPs were selected as instrumental variables (IVs), and causality estimates were obtained using four 2SMR methods: random-effects inverse variance-weighted, weighted median estimation, MR-Egger regression, and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO). We identified a significant causal relationship between CeD and mature T/NK cell lymphomas. Under a multivariate Mendelian randomization model, we observed that the causal effect of CeD was not dependent on other known lymphoma risk factors. We found that the most instrumental IV was located in the TAGAP locus, suggesting that aberrant T cell activation might be relevant in the T/NK cell malignization process. Our findings provide new insights into the connection between immune imbalance and the development of severe comorbidities, such as EATL, in patients with CeD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Lipoma preferred partner (LPP) gene polymorphisms and the risk of Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in the Chinese Han population. In this case-control study, we genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the LPP gene in 357 IgAN cases and 384 controls, using Agena Bioscience MassARRAY technology and assessed their association with IgAN using the χ2 test and genetic model analysis. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess risk and were adjusted for age and gender by logistic regression. In the allele model, there were significant associations between LPP rs1064607 (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.01-1.53; p = 0.041), rs3796283 (OR = 1.32; 95% CI = 1.08-1.63; p = 0.008), and rs2378456 (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.05-1.59; p = 0.016), as well as an increased risk of IgAN. In the dominant model, the "G/C-C/C" genotypes of rs1064607 (p = 0.023), the "G/A-G/G" genotypes of rs3796283 (p = 0.0013) and the "G/C-C/C" genotypes of rs2378456 (p = 0.00052) were risk factors for IgAN. The results of the stratified analysis showed that rs3796283 and rs2378456 were connected with susceptibility to IgAN in different subgroups. Our data may provide new evidence to research the etiology of IgAN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To validate in an ethnically homogeneous Greek multiple sclerosis (MS) cohort, genetic risk factors for the disease, identified through a number of previous multi-ethnic genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHODS A total of 1228 MS cases and 1014 controls were recruited in the study, from 3 MS centers in Greece. We genotyped 35 susceptibility SNPs that emerged from previous GWAS or meta-analyses of GWAS. Allele and genotype single locus regression analysis, adjusted for gender and site, was performed. Permutation testing was applied to all analyses. RESULTS Six polymorphisms reached statistical significance (permutation p value < 0.05). In particular, rs2760524 of LOC105371664, near RGS1 (permutation p value 0.001), rs3129889 of HLA-DRA, near HLA-DRB1 (permutation p value < 1.00e-04), rs1738074 of TAGAP (permutation p value 0.007), rs703842 of METTL1/CYP27B1 (permutation p value 0.008), rs9596270 of DLEU1 (permutation p value < 1.00e-04), and rs17445836 of LincRNA, near IRF8 (permutation p value 0.001) were identified as susceptibility risk factors in our group. CONCLUSION The current study replicated a number of GWAS susceptibility SNPs, which implies that some similarities between the examined Greek population and the MS genetic architecture of the GWAS populations do exist.
