Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) comprises a broad spectrum of pathological conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels, including sequelae that arise from damaged vasculature in other organs of the body, such as the brain, kidneys or eyes. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial intima and is the primary cause of coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, heart attack, stroke and renal pathology. It represents a leading cause of mortality worldwide and the loss of human productivity that is marked by an altered immune response. Endometriosis is a heritable, heterogeneous, common gynecological condition influenced by multiple genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors, affecting up to 10% of the female population of childbearing age, causing pain and infertility; it is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Of note, epidemiological data obtained thus far have suggested a link between endometriosis and the risk of developing CVD. The similarities observed in specific molecular and cellular pathways of endometriosis and CVD may be partially explained by a shared genetic background. The present review presents and discusses the shared genetic factors which have been reported to be associated with the development of both disorders.

Słomiński B, Skrzypkowska M, Ryba-Stanisławowska M, Myśliwiec M, Trzonkowski P. Associations of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism with complications and comorbidities in patients with type 1 diabetes. J Mol Med (Berl) 2021; 99:675-683. [PMID: 33495869 PMCID: PMC8055568 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-020-02035-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Abstract Wild-type TP53 plays an important role in the regulation of immune response and systemic inflammation. In type 1 diabetes (T1D), TP53 pathways are upregulated and an increased susceptibility to apoptosis is observed. We hypothesize that TP53 codon 72 polymorphism could be associated with complications and comorbidities in patients with T1D. We have investigated the associations of the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism with the T1D complications and comorbidities (retinopathy, nephropathy, hypertension, dyslipidemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, and celiac disease) in 350 patients. The key results of our approach are as follows: (1) In diabetic subjects, the Pro/Pro genotype is associated with an increased risk of microvascular complications, dyslipidemia, and celiac disease; (2) the Arg/Arg variant is associated with a decreased risk of autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease; (3) the Pro allele is associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, and celiac disease. Although further studies are required, our results for the first time indicate that the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism could be considered a genetic marker to predict the increased susceptibility to some T1D complications and comorbidities. Key messages We analyzed the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism in patients with T1D. Pro/Pro genotype is associated with an increased risk of microvascular complications, dyslipidemia, and celiac disease. The Arg/Arg variant is associated with a decreased risk of autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease. The Pro allele is associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, and celiac disease.

Association Analysis of TP53 rs1042522, MDM2 rs2279744, rs3730485, MDM4 rs4245739 Variants and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Susceptibility, Risk Stratification Scores, and Clinical Features: An Exploratory Study. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9061672. [PMID: 32492903 PMCID: PMC7355701 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9061672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the associations between the TP53 rs1042522 (TP53 Arg72Pro), MDM2 rs2279744 (MDM2 309T>G), rs3730485 (MDM2 del1518), MDM4 rs4245739 (MDM4 34091 C>A) variants and odds of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in a cohort of 809 adult subjects, consisting of 406 healthy controls and 403 AML patients. Model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction (MB-MDR) framework was used to identify the interactions of the mentioned variants and their association with AML risk. Associations of the mentioned variants with clinical features of AML, somatic mutations, and response to treatment were also evaluated. Significant associations between TP53 rs1042522 and MDM4 rs4245739 variants and AML susceptibility were noticed. MB-MDR and logistic regression analysis revealed an interaction between MDM2 rs2279744 and TP53 rs1042522, between MDM4 rs4245739 and MDM2 rs3730485, as well as significant associations with AML susceptibility. Several associations between the mentioned variants and clinical features of AML and somatic mutations were also noticed. Individually, the variant genotypes of TP53 rs1042522 and MDM4 rs4245739 were associated with AML susceptibility, but their interaction with MDM2 rs2279744 and rs3730485 modulated the risk for AML. The variant genotypes of TP53 rs1042522 were associated with adverse molecular and cytogenetic risk and also with NPM1 mutations.
