Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance has been correlated with the genetic diversity within the insulin-like binding proteins genes. Moreover, insulin resistance is one of the key characteristics of the widespread reproductive endocrine condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Hence, this study is aimed to determine the association between IGFBP3 and IGF2BP2 gene variants and PCOS risk. METHODS A total of 300 subjects (150 PCOS cases diagnosed based on Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM consensus criteria and 150 healthy subjects) were recruited in this case-control cross-sectional study. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) was used for genotyping rs11705701, whereas genotyping of rs1470579 and rs2854744 was done employing PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. RESULTS The CC and AA+AC genotypes of rs1470579 conferred an increased risk of PCOS in our population. Regarding the rs2854744, an increased risk of PCOS was observed under the codominant homozygous (TT vs. GG) model by 2.54 fold. The C allele of rs1470579 and T allele of rs2854744 enhanced PCOS risk by 1.97 and 1.46 folds, respectively. Haplotype analysis showed that the Ars1470579Ars11705701 haplotype conferred a decreased risk of PCOS (odds ratio = 0.53, 95% confidence interval = 0.34-0.83, p = 0.006). The AC/GG/GT, AA/GA/GT, AC/GA/GG, and AC/GA/GT genotype combinations of rs1470579/rs11705701/rs2854744 were associated with a decreased risk of the disease. CONCLUSIONS IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and IGFBP3 rs2854744 enhanced PCOS susceptibility in a Southeastern Iranian population. Further investigation involving larger cohorts representing diverse ethnic backgrounds is needed to confirm the current findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) can induce left ventricular remodeling. In this study, we investigated whether the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism is associated with left ventricular geometry (LVG) and left ventricular functional abnormalities in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects. METHODS Two hundred and seventy-eight subjects were enrolled. Echocardiography and genetic data were assessed in all patients. Geometric patterns of the left ventricle were determined from the relative wall thickness and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Genetic analysis for the TNF-α-308G>A SNP rs1800629 was identified by Sanger sequencing. The correlations of the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism with LVG and left ventricular function were analyzed by difference analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS The chi-square test showed that there were differences in genotype distributions among the four groups (p = 0.033), such that the frequency of GA+AA genotypes was significantly higher in the concentric hypertrophy group than in the normal geometry group (p < 0.05). Independent sample T tests showed that the GA+AA genotypes had higher IVST, LVPWT, LVMI, E/e' values, and lower e' values than those of the GG genotype (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism was independently correlated with eccentric hypertrophy (OR = 2.456, p = 0.047) and concentric hypertrophy (OR = 2.456, p = 0.047). CONCLUSION In OSA patients, the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism was linked to LVG and abnormal left ventricular diastolic function, suggesting that the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism may have an important influence on LVG alterations.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the association between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) T2238C (rs5065) gene polymorphism and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Relevant literature was obtained by searching databases. The odds ratios (ORs) of the ANP T2238C locus genotype distribution in the case group of cardiovascular diseases and the control group of a non-cardiovascular population were pooled using R software. Sensitivity analysis was used to verify the stability of the results. Egger's linear regression test was used to assess the publication bias of the included literature. Studies were classified according to quality assessment score of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, year, region, sample size and underlying disease for subgroup analysis, and meta-regression analysis was performed. A total of 12 studies comprising 45,619 patients were included. ANP rs5065 mutant gene C allele was a significant risk factor for myocardial infarction relative to T allele (OR=2.55, 95% CI=1.47-4.43, P=0.0008), CC+CT genotype was a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events relative to TT (OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.04-1.26, P=0.0048) and the mutant CC genotype was a potential risk factor for the composite cardio-cerebral vascular events (CVE) relative to CT+TT (OR=1.40, 95% CI=0.96-2.04, P=0.081). In studies fulfilling the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the CC genotype was a significant risk factor for the composite CVE relative to TT (OR=2.39, 95% CI=1.40-4.10, P=0.0018) and the CC genotype was a significant risk factor for composite CVE relative to CT+TT (OR=2.41, 95% CI=1.41-4.13, P=0.0015). The P-value of the Egger's test for publication bias was 0.436, which was not statistically significant. The results of the sensitivity analysis were relatively stable. Subgroup analysis indicated that the publication year was a potential source of heterogeneity. Regression analysis was performed for the recessive model in the composite CVE and the results showed that the study region (Europe) was one of the sources of heterogeneity (P=0.016). In conclusion, ANP 2238T/C mutation may increase the risk of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events and composite CVE.

Abstract
Introduction Internet addiction disorder (IAD) has grown into public health concern of global proportions. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with IAD may exhibit altered levels of serotonin and dopamine, which are known to play crucial roles in depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. Therefore, polymorphisms in the receptors that mediate the effects of serotonin and dopamine and affect their functional states as well as their activities are suspect. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between IAD and rs6313 (T102C) polymorphism in the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A) gene, (HTR2A). Methods Twenty patients with IAD and twenty healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Barratt Impulse Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to assess the severity of internet addiction, mental status, impulsive traits, sleep quality, and social support. Genotyping was performed to identify rs6313 polymorphisms in the HTR2A gene of all participants. Results The frequencies of the C and T alleles of HTR2A T102C were 28% and 72% in the IAD group and 53% and 47% in the HCs group, respectively, indicating that the differences between these two groups were significant. No significant difference was observed in the distribution of the CC, CT, and TT genotypes of HTR2A gene T102C between the IAD and the HCs groups. Additionally, there was no difference in the distribution of the frequencies of the HTR2A gene T102C CC and CT+TT genotypes between the two groups. However, the distribution between the TT and CC+CT genotypes showed an apparent statistical difference in the HTR2A gene T102C between the two groups. Correlation analysis indicated that the IAT score was positively correlated with the Y-BOCS and BIS scores for the CC+CT genotype in patients with IAD. Moreover, the IAT score was positively correlated with the PSQI score in patients with IAD carrying the TT genotype. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that rs6313 in HTR2A is associated with IAD, and that the T allele of rs6313 in HTR2A may be a risk factor for IAD.

Abstract
The CYP2C19 gene is frequently included in different pharmacogenomic panels tested in clinical practice, due to its involvement in the metabolism of a myriad of frequently prescribed medications. Accordingly, CYP2C19 genotyping can promote precise therapeutic decisions and avoid the occurrence of significant drug-drug-gene interactions in the clinical setting. A comprehensive examination of the role of the CYP2C19 gene in real-world medical settings is presented in this review. This review summarizes the most recent information on how genetic variants in CYP2C19 affect drug metabolism and therapeutic outcomes. It goes into the wide range of CYP2C19 phenotypes, with different degrees of metabolizing activity, and their implications for customized medication response through a review of the literature. The review also analyzes the clinical significance of CYP2C19 in several medical specialties, including cardiology, psychiatry, and gastro-enterology clinics, and illuminates how it affects pharmacological efficacy, safety, and adverse effects. Finally, CYP2C19-supported clinical decision-making is outlined, highlighting the possibility of improving therapeutic outcomes and achieving more affordable treatment options, a step towards optimizing healthcare provision through precision medicine.

Abstract
Background The enzyme phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is responsible for synthesizing phosphatidylcholine by methylating phosphatidylethanolamine. We hypothesized that a polymorphism of the PEMT gene, rs7946, is involved in carcinogenesis. Objectives We aimed to investigate the relationship between PEMT rs7946 and digestive system cancer and examine possible effect modifiers and mediators. Methods We conducted a nested, case-control study within the China H-type Hypertension Registry Study, including 751 cases and 1:1 matched controls. To assess the association of PEMT rs7946 and digestive system cancer, we estimated odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using conditional logistic regression. We used the bootstrap test to examine the potential mediating effects of related metabolites. Results Our results revealed that wild-type homozygous CC genotype carriers of PEMT rs7946 had a significantly increased risk [odds ratio (OR): 1.31; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.66; P = 0.023] compared with the TT/CT combined genotypes. The effect was found to be more pronounced in individuals with a lower choline-to-betaine ratio (<0.412, P-interaction = 0.021). Furthermore, the mediation analysis indicated that the choline-to-betaine ratio played a significant role in mediating 13.55% of the association between PEMT rs7946 and digestive system cancer (P = 0.018). Conclusions Our study suggested that PEMT rs7946 may affect risk of digestive system cancer through direct and indirect pathways, and the choline-to-betaine ratio may partially mediate the indirect effect.This trial was registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry as ChiCTR1800017274.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The current work was aimed at exploring the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ICAM-1 gene, along with the identification of additional haplotypes and their potential role in the susceptibility to ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). The control group underwent a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test. The associations of genotypes and alleles with susceptibility to ICM were then analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Subsequently odds ratios (ORs) along with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Interaction analysis was conducted between these SNPs. Furthermore, linkage disequilibrium analysis and haplotype analysis were performed on SNPs that showed interactions with each other. The incidence of ICM was significantly higher among individuals carrying the T allele of rs3093032 (OR = 2.032, 95% CI, 1.275-3.241, P = 0.003) relative to those with the C allele. In addition, CT genotype carriers had a higher susceptibility to ICM than CC genotype carriers (OR = 2.490, 95% CI, 1.445-4.29, P = 0.001). Furthermore, 3 SNPs (rs3093032, rs923366, rs3093030) exhibited a strong interaction with each other, whereas rs281437 showed no interaction with the other 3 SNPs. Individuals carrying the C rs3093032 -T rs923366 -C rs3093030 haplotype had an elevated risk of ICM compared with those carrying the C rs3093032 -C rs923366 -C rs3093030 haplotype (OR = 2.280, 95% CI, 1.568-3.315, P < 0.001). Moreover, individuals carrying the T rs3093032 -C rs923366 -C rs3093030 haplotype were more susceptible to ICM than those carrying the C rs3093032 -C rs923366 -C rs3093030 haplotype (OR = 2.388, 95% CI, 1.469-3.880, P < 0.001). Regarding rs3093032, the minor alleles and haplotypes are associated with an increased ICM risk: 3 SNPs (rs3093032, rs923366, rs3093030) in ICAM-1 have strong interaction with each other.

Abstract
Strokes are the leading cause of death in most regions of the world. Epoxidase inhibitors include the drug aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Aspirin is widely used as first-line treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in at-risk patients. However, patients using conventional doses of aspirin can still develop ischaemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, a phenomenon known as aspirin resistance. The occurrence of aspirin resistance hinders the prevention and treatment of ischaemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are many factors affecting aspirin resistance, such as sex, drug dose, metabolic disease, genetic polymorphisms, drug interactions and pharmacokinetics. Genetic polymorphism refers to the simultaneous and frequent presence of two or more discontinuous variants or genotypes or alleles in a population of organisms. Platelets contain a large number of highly polymorphic transmembrane glycoprotein receptors encoded by two or more isomeric alleles. Changes in gene polymorphisms in various pathways during platelet aggregation can lead to aspirin resistance. This narrative review describes the gene polymorphisms that have been demonstrated to be significantly associated with aspirin resistance. Research on the mechanisms of aspirin resistance and increased knowledge should provide accurate drug guidance in individuals that require first-line antiplatelet therapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between loci rs3761847 and rs10818488 of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 1/complement C5 (TRAF1/C5) gene and the susceptibility to IgAV. METHODS 100 blood samples of children with IgAV and 100 blood samples of healthy children were collected from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2017 to June 2019. The target gene fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the single nucleic acid gene polymorphism of the gene loci was detected by PCR sequencing based typing technique. The association between gene polymorphism of each locus and susceptibility to IgAV was analyzed. RESULTS There were significant differences in both genotype (P < .05) and allele frequencies (P < .05) of rs3761847 of TRAF1/C5 gene between the IgAV group and the control group.Besides, the risks of developing IgAV in children with the TT genotype was 0.495 times and in children with the C allele was 1.627 times of that in children with other genotypes and alleles, respectively (P < .05). For IgAV patients, renal involvement risk in children with CC genotype was 5.859 times of that in children with other genotypes (P < .05). There were no significant differences in genotype (P > .05) and allele frequencies (P > .05) of rs10818488 of TRAF1/C5 gene between the IgAV group and the control group. IgAV patients with TT genotype had a 3.2 times higher risk of renal involvement than those with other genotypes (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS There is an association between locus rs3761847 of TRAF1/C5 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and susceptibility to IgAV. The T allele at locus rs3761847 of TRAF1/C5 gene may be a protective factor for IgAV. The C allele at locus rs3761847 and the T allele at locus rs10818488 of TRAF1/C5 gene may be associated with kidney injury in IgAV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that genetic factors may be substantially linked to allergy disorders. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the relationship between the serum specific Immunoglobulin E [sIgE], blood eosinophil, and the polymorphisms of glycoprotein Ib alpha gene [GP1BA] rs6065, platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 gene [PEAR1] rs12041331, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 gene [PAI-1] rs1799762. METHODS From the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, this study enrolled 60 healthy participants and 283 participants with allergic diseases. TaqMan-minor groove binder [MGB] quantitative polymerase chain reaction [qPCR] was used to examine the gene polymorphisms in each group. RESULTS The TaqMan-MGB qPCR results were completely consistent with the DNA sequencing results, according to other studies in this medical center [Kappa =1, p <0.001]. The GP1BA rs6065, PEAR1 rs12041331, and PAI-1 rs1799762 polymorphisms did not show different distribution between allergy patients and healthy individuals. Concerning allergy patients, the CT [n=33] genotype of GP1BA rs6065 had higher blood eosinophil level than the CC [n=250] genotype [0.59, IQR 0.32-0.72 vs 0.31, IQR 0.15-0.61, *109/L, p =0.005]. The serum sIgE of AA [n=46] genotype of PEAR1 rs12041331 was lower [median 3.7, interquartile quartiles [IQR] 0.2-16.8, kU/L] than the GA [n=136] and GG [n=101] genotypes [GA median 16.3, IQR 3.1-46.3, kU/L, p = 0.002; GG median 12.9, IQR 3.0-46.9, kU/L, p =0.003]. The GA genotypes of PEAR1 rs12041331were with higher blood eosinophil levels [median 0.42, IQR 0.17-0.74 *109/L] than the AA genotype [median 0.25, IQR 0.15-0.41*109/L, p =0.012]. The sIgE of the 5G5G [n=44] genotype of PAI-1 rs1799762 was lower [median 5.0, IQR 0.1-22.8, kU/L] than the 4G5G [n=144] [median 17.3, IQR 3.7-46.0, kU/L, p = 0.012]. CONCLUSION The GP1BA rs6065, PEAR1 rs12041331, and PAI-1 rs1799762 polymorphisms may be associated with the genetic susceptibility of serum sIgE or blood eosinophil in Chinese allergic disease patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is characterized by an excess of uncontrolled preoccupations, urges, or behaviors related to computer use and Internet access that culminate in negative outcomes or individual distress. PIU includes excessive online activities (such as video gaming, social media use, streaming, pornography viewing, and shopping). The aim of this study was to analyze the association of gene polymorphisms that may influence the severity of risky behaviors in young men with the frequency of Internet use. We speculate that there are individual differences in the mechanisms of Internet addiction and that gene-hormone associations may represent useful biomarkers for subgroups of individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in a sample of 407 adult males. Subjects were asked to complete the Problematic Internet Use Test (PIUT). Serum was analyzed to determine concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (TT), sex hormone binding protein (SHBG), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), estradiol (E2), prolactin (PRL), insulin (I), serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA), as well as DRD2, ANKK1, and NTRK3 gene polymorphisms. RESULTS In the analysis of the ANKK1 gene, there was a specific association between ANKK1 polymorphisms and PRL and 5-HT blood concentrations. There was also an association between the ANKK1 polymorphisms and LH and DA concentrations. When analyzing the DRD2 gene polymorphism, we found that in the group with a moderate level of Internet dependence, there was an association between both the G/GG and GG/GG polymorphisms and FSH concentration. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that there may be an association between the NTRK3 gene polymorphism and PIU. The polymorphisms of ANKK1 and DRD2 genes may be factors that influence the concentrations of hormones (PRL, 5-HT, DA) that are associated with the results obtained in PIU.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) and OLIG2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and neurological injury severity and outcome in cerebral infarction (CI). The neurological injury severity of 298 CI patients was evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. The prognosis of CI patients at 30 days after admission was evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale. And 322 healthy people were selected as the control group. The SNPs of the ABCB1 gene (rs1045642) and OLIG2 gene (rs1059004 and rs9653711) were detected by TaqMan probe PCR, and the distribution of SNPs genotype was analyzed. SNP rs9653711 was correlated with CI. Recessive models of rs1045642 and rs9653711 were correlated with CI. The genotypes of rs1045642 and rs9653711 and genetic models were associated with CI severity. rs1045642 had no correlation with CI prognosis, while rs9653711 had less correlation. The genotype distribution and recessive model were associated with CI prognosis. SNP rs1059004 was not associated with CI severity and prognosis. Alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and high levels of homocysteine (HCY) were independent risk factors for CI, while hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and HCY were associated with poor prognosis of CI. ABCB1 rs1045642 and OLOG2 rs9653711 are associated with CI severity.

Abstract
Periodontitis (PD) is a prevalent and chronic inflammatory disease with a complex pathogenesis, and it is associated with the presence of specific pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. Dysbiosis and dysregulated immune responses ultimately lead to chronic inflammation as well as tooth and alveolar bone loss. Multiple studies have demonstrated that genetic polymorphisms may increase the susceptibility to PD. Furthermore, gene expression is modulated by various epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, or the activity of non-coding RNA. These processes can also be induced by PD-associated pathogens. In this review, we try to summarize the genetic processes that are implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. Furthermore, we discuss the use of these mechanisms in diagnosis and therapeutic purposes. Importantly, novel treatment methods that could promote tissue regeneration are greatly needed in PD. In this paper, we also demonstrate current evidence on the potential use of stem cells and extracellular vesicles to stimulate tissue regeneration and suppress inflammation. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of PD, as well as the impact of PD-associated bacteria and stem cells in these processes, may enhance future research and ultimately improve long-term treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported the role of the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily, encoded by the CHRM3 gene, in cardiac function and the regulation of blood pressure (BP). The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of CHRM3 genetic variants with salt sensitivity, longitudinal BP changes, and the development of hypertension in a Chinese population. We conducted a chronic dietary salt intervention experiment in a previously established Chinese cohort to analyze salt sensitivity of BP. Additionally, a 14-year follow-up was conducted on all participants in the cohort to evaluate the associations of CHRM3 polymorphisms with longitudinal BP changes, as well as the incidence of hypertension. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10802811 within the CHRM3 gene displayed significant associations with low salt-induced changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP), while rs373288072, rs114677844, and rs663148 exhibited significant associations with SBP and MAP responses to a high-salt diet. Furthermore, the SNP rs58359377 was associated with changes in SBP and pulse pressure (PP) over the course of 14 years. Additionally, the 14-year follow-up revealed a significant association between the rs619288 polymorphism and an increased risk of hypertension (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.06-2.87, p = .029). This study provides evidence that CHRM3 may have a role in salt sensitivity, BP progression, and the development of hypertension.

Abstract
AIM Both the activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and the presence of ApoE ε4 genotype have been found to respectively correlate with cognitive decline in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who further show a high incidence of developing Alzheimer's disease. However, the relationship between ApoE ε4 and GSK-3β in the cognitive impairment of T2DM patients remains unclear. METHODS ApoE genotypes and platelet GSK-3β level were measured in 1139 T2DM patients recruited from five medical centers in Wuhan, China. Cognitive functions were assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The association and the relationships among apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes, GSK-3β activity and cognitive function were analyzed by regression and mediating effect analyses, respectively. RESULTS T2DM patients with ApoE ε4 but not ApoE ε2 haplotype showed poorer cognitive function and elevated platelet GSK-3β activity, when using ApoE ε3 as reference. The elevation of GSK-3β activity was positively correlated the diabetes duration, as well as plasma glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glucose levels. Moreover, correlation and regression analysis also revealed significant pairwise correlations among GSK-3β activity, ApoE gene polymorphism and cognitive function. Lastly, using Baron and Kenny modeling, we unveiled a mediative role of GSK-3β activity between ApoE ε4 and cognitive impairment. CONCLUSION We reported here that the upregulation of GSK-3β activity mediates the exacerbation of cognitive impairment by ApoE ε4-enhanced cognitive impairment in T2DM patients, suggesting GSK-3β inhibitors as promising drugs for preserving cognitive function in T2DM patients, especially to those with ApoE ε4 genotype.

Abstract
Background The MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism is a common variation in the gene encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1), an enzyme crucial for folate metabolism. This study investigated the association between the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism, which is involved in folate metabolism, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Methods A case-control study was conducted and 304 pregnant women (152 with gestational diabetes as cases and 152 healthy pregnant as controls) participated in the study. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) techniques were used to determine the MTHFD1 1958G>A polymorphism genotypes. Results Analysis of genotype frequencies revealed a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.05) between the GDM group and the control group, suggesting a potential association between this gene variant and the development of GDM. Interestingly, while allele frequencies alone did not show a significant association with GDM risk, analysis in a recessive model (both severe and mild forms) demonstrated a strong link between the homozygous AA genotype and increased susceptibility to GDM. Conclusion This study provides the first evidence linking the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism and GDM risk in an Indian setting. These findings warrant further investigation into the functional impact of the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism and its potential role in the pathogenesis of GDM.

Abstract
Background: Severe delayed diarrhea and hematological toxicity limit the use of irinotecan. Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is a critical enzyme in irinotecan metabolism. The study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of irinotecan under the guidance of the pre-treatment UGT1A1 genotype in the second-line treatment of gastric cancer. Methods: This study involved 110 patients. Irinotecan was injected intravenously every 3 weeks, and the dose of irinotecan was determined by polymorphism of the UGT1A1 gene, which was divided into three groups (125 mg/m2: GG type; 100 mg/m2: GA type; 75 mg/m2: AA type). The primary end point was overall survival (OS), the secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Results: One hundred and seven patients received irinotecan treatment and three patients with AA type received paclitaxel treatment. Among 107 patients, there were no significant differences in PFS (4.8 m vs 4.9 m vs 4.4 m; p = 0.5249) and OS (9.3 m vs 9.3 m vs NA; p = 0.6821) among patients with GG/GA/AA subtypes after dose adjustment. For the patient with homozygosity mutation, treatment was switched to paclitaxel. There were no significant differences in PFS and OS among patients with different alleles or after dose adjustment (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the risk of delayed diarrhea (p = 0.000), leukopenia (p = 0.003) and neutropenia (p = 0.000) in patients with different UGT1A1*6 genotypes, while no difference in patients with different UGT1A1*28 genotypes. Additionally, grade 3/4 diarrhea, neutropenia, and leukopenia were significantly more common in AA genotype patients compared to GG (2%, 19%, 24%) or GA (23%, 31%, 31%) genotype patients. Conclusion: Individual irinotecan treatment shows encouraging survival and tolerability outcomes in patients with GG/GA subtype. Irinotecan may be not suitable for patients with AA subtype.

Abstract
The current investigation aims to explore the relationship between matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) gene polymorphism and ovarian cancer (OC) risk. Two hundred forty pathologically confirmed OC patients and 390 healthy controls participated in the present investigation. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was applied to investigate the present polymorphism. At the same time, the meta-analysis was also performed to comprehensively explore the relationship. Three genotypes (5A/5A, 5A/6A, and 6A/6A) were observed for MMP-3 gene polymorphism. 6A/6A genotype and 6A allele displayed significant increase in OC patients (all P < .05). Meta-analysis found that no significant results (all P > .05). In conclusion, our results indicate that MMP-3 gene polymorphism contributes increased risk to OC for southern Chinese population. And meta-analysis indicates that MMP-3 gene polymorphism contributes no risk to OC in other populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in many inflammatory diseases, but its association with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is poorly understood. This study looked for an association of TNF-α gene polymorphisms with INS, as well as its effect on steroid responsiveness among Kuwaiti Arab children. METHODS Genotypes of the TNF-a gene polymorphisms were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 151 INS Kuwaiti Arab patients and 64 age and sex-matched controls. Clinical data of all subjects were reviewed. RESULTS The heterozygous AG genotype was detected in 8.6% of INS patients compared 23.4% of the controls (p < 0.01). Comparing steroid responsiveness, AA genotype was significantly more common in steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) cases than steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) patients (p = 0.001). However, AG genotype was significantly more common in SRNS patients compared to the SSNS cases (p = 0.001). No difference was found between these two subgroups in the GG genotype frequency. CONCLUSION AG genotype of TNF-a gene polymorphisms may be considered a suitable marker for INS disease among Kuwaiti children. Both AA and AG genotypes may be useful in predicting steroid responsiveness among these cases of Arab ethnicity. The findings might open the era for the use of genetic markers in the early treatment of NS.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a heparin-specific growth factor specific for vascular endothelial cells and induces angiogenesis via binding to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). Chronic kidney disease (CKD), accompanied by microvascular disease, is recognized as an irreversible reduction of renal function. The effects of VEGF on CKD risk were evaluated in this study. 121 CKD patients and 50 healthy volunteers were evaluated in the current study. Data mining using the China Biological Medicine (CBM) and NCBI/PubMed databases, was performed and applicable investigations were pursued. Pooled mean differences (MD) and pooled odds ratios (OR), with corresponding confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated by meta-analysis. The levels of Scr, BUN and VEGF in the CKD group were significantly higher, when compared with the control group (P < 0.01). For the meta-analysis, thirteen articles and our current study were evaluated. VEGF levels was found to be associated with CKD risk (P < 0.00001). In the sub-group meta-analysis, we found that the pooled MD of VEGF levels was related to the early CKD group, although the difference was not notable. However, the meta-analysis itself indicated that the pooled MD of VEGF levels were in accordance with severe CKD group (P < 0.00001). Furthermore, VEGF +936C/T T allele was not associated with CKD risk (P = 0.69). VEGF levels are apparently associated with CKD risk, especially in more severe CKD. Gene polymorphism analysis indicates that the VEGF +936C/T T allele is not associated with CKD risk.

Abstract
Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) increases the 5-year survival rate by 90%; therefore, non-invasive biomarkers such as measurable circulating proteins for early detection and prognosis are crucial. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) bind and inhibit the activity of IGF-1. It was inconsistently reported that high IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 and low IGFBP-3 circulating levels are associated with high cancer risk, poor prognosis, and tumor metastasis in several cancers. A total of 175 patients with CRC and 429 controls were enrolled in this study. We genotyped for IGF-1 rs35767 and rs6214 gene polymorphisms and assessed their association with circulating levels of IGF-1 and/or the risk for CRC. We also determined plasma levels of IGF-1, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3. Neither rs35767 nor rs2614 were associated with cancer risk or IGF-1 levels in our study cohort. IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels were higher in controls than in patients, whereas IGFBP-2 was higher in patients than in controls. Only IGFBP-2 was associated with increased tumor grade but not stage. Therefore, IGF-1, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3 may be useful as early detection and prognostic biomarkers in CRC.

Abstract
Background Common polymorphisms within the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are rs429358 and rs7412, which result in three major alleles (ɛ2, ɛ3, and ɛ4) and six genotypes (E2/E2, E2/E3, E3/E3, E3/E4, E4/E4, and E2/E4). Although APOE gene polymorphisms have been suggested to be associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN), their potential association remains unclear in different regions. This study aims to unveil the genetic effects of APOE gene polymorphisms on DN susceptibility and serum lipid profiles in southern Chinese population. Methods A total of 306 DN patients and 483 type 2 diabetic patients as controls were included in the study. The APOE gene polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) microarray gene chip. Relevant medical records and information of these participants were collected. Results There were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in gender, SBP, hypertension, hyperuricemia, UTP, TG and HDL-C between DN patients and controls. DN patients exhibited a higher frequency of the ε2 allele and E2/E3 genotype than controls (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the ε2 allele and E2/E3 genotype were independent risk factors (adjusted OR: 3.237, 95% CI: 1.789-5.854, p < 0.001; adjusted OR: 3.453, 95% CI: 1.873-6.368, p < 0.001), while the ε3 allele or E3/E3 genotype might serve as protective role (adjusted OR: 0.395, 95% CI: 0.255-0.612, p < 0.001) for development of DN. Conclusion Our study indicates a correlation between APOE polymorphisms and DN in the southern Chinese Hakka population. Specifically, individuals carrying the APOE ε2 allele and E2/E3 genotype are at a higher risk of developing DN. Conversely, those with the APOE ε3 allele and E3/E3 genotype have a lower risk of DN in southern Chinese population.

Abstract
The interleukin-1 gene cluster encodes cytokines, which modulate mesangial cell proliferation and matrix expansion, both constituting central factors in the development and progression of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). A candidate-gene study was performed to examine the association of polymorphisms of the interleukin-1 gene cluster with the risk of progressive IgAN. To gain deeper insights into the involvement of interleukin genes in IgAN, a meta-analysis of genetic association studies (GAS) that examine the association between interleukin variants and IgAN was conducted. Association study: The case-control study consisted of 121 unrelated Caucasians with sporadic, histologically diagnosed IgAN and of 246 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Persistent proteinuria (>2 g/24 h) and/or impaired kidney function (serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL) defined progressive (n = 67) vs. non-progressive (n = 54) IgAN cases. Genotypes were assessed for two promoter-region single-nucleotide polymorphisms, C-899T (rs1800587) in IL1A and C-511T (rs16944) in IL1B, and for one penta-allelic variable-length tandem repeat polymorphism (VNTR 86 bp intron 2) in IL1RN. The association of these variants with the susceptibility of IgAN and the development of progressive IgAN (healthy status, IgAN, progressive IgAN) was tested using the generalized odds ratio (ORG) metric. Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis were also performed. Meta-analysis: We included in the meta-analysis 15 studies investigating association between 14 interleukin variants harbored in eight different genes and IgAN. The ORG was used to evaluate the association between interleukin variants and IgAN using random effects models. The present case-control study revealed association of IL1B C-511T (rs16944) with the progression of IgAN (p = 0.041; ORG = 2.11 (1.09-4.07)). On haplotype analysis, significant results were derived for the haplotypes C-C-1 (p = 0.005; OR = 0.456 (0.261~0.797)) and C-T-2 (p = 0.003; OR = 4.208 (1.545-11.50)). Regarding association and meta-analysis results, variants in IL1B (rs1143627 and rs16944), IL1RN (rs928940, rs439154, and rs315951) and IL10 (rs1800871) were associated with IgAN based on either genotype or allele counts. Genetic variants and haplotypes in the IL1B, IL1RN, and IL10 genes might contribute to an increased risk for development and progression of IgAN.

Abstract
Introduction: Bleeding is one of the most undesirable complications of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). While the ryanodine receptor (RYR2) has been related to cardiac diseases, research on bleeding complications is lacking. This study aimed to elucidate the association between RYR2 and bleeding risk to develop the risk scoring system in patients treated with DOACs. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected samples. We selected ten SNPs within the RYR2 gene, and two models were constructed (Model I: demographic factors only, Model II: demographic and genetic factors) in multivariable analysis. Independent risk factors for bleeding were used to develop a risk scoring system. Results: A total of 447 patients were included, and 49 experienced either major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. In Model I, patients using rivaroxaban and experiencing anemia exhibited an increased bleeding risk after adjusting for covariates. Upon incorporating genetic factors into Model I, a significant association with bleeding was also observed in cases of overdosing on DOACs and in patients with a creatinine clearance (CrCl) < 30 mL/min, in addition to rivaroxaban and anemia (Model II). Among genetic factors, RYR2 rs12594 GG, rs17682073 AA, rs3766871 GG, and rs6678625 T alleles were associated with bleeding complications. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of Model I was 0.670, whereas that of Model II increased to 0.803, demonstrating better performance with the inclusion of genetic factors. Using the significant variables in Model II, a risk scoring system was constructed. The predicted bleeding risks for scores of 0, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 points were 0%, 1.2%, 4.6%, 15.7%, 41.7%, and 73.3%, respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed an association between RYR2 and bleeding complications among patients taking DOACs and established a risk scoring system to support individualized DOAC treatment for these patients.

Abstract
Introduction Previous studies have identified diabetes as a risk factor for coronary heart disease. This study determined the correlation between the IL-6 gene -572 G/C polymorphism and the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease in patients with diabetes. Methods One hundred four patients with diabetes who were admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled in the current study. These patients were divided into a diabetes only group (group A, 27 patients) and a diabetes complicated by coronary heart disease group (group B, 77 patients). Seventy patients in the latter group were further divided into low, medium, and high Syntax score groups based on coronary angiography results. A correlation analysis between IL-6, blood lipids, and the IL-6 -572 G/C gene levels was performed. Results The serum IL-6 level in patients with the IL-6-572G/C-GG genotype was higher than patients with the GC and CC genotypes. In patients with diabetes, the presence of the IL-6-572G/C-GG and GC genotypes was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. Patients with the IL-6-572G/C-GG genotype and diabetes were shown to have more severe coronary artery lesions compared to patients with the CC genotype. Moreover, the G allele of the IL-6-572G/C gene was linked to a higher risk of coronary heart disease and more severe coronary artery lesions in patients with diabetes compared to the C allele. Conclusion The IL-6-572G/C gene polymorphism is associated with the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among present reports, the T/G allelic variation at the rs2609255 locus of the family sequence similarity gene 13A (FAM13A) was considerable associated with susceptibility to interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). In this study, we summarized relevant studies and applied a meta-analysis to explore whether the polymorphism of rs2609255 site of the FAM13A gene can be utilized to predict susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients or rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) or silicosis patients in different populations for the first time. METHODS We compared the frequency of G allele on rs2609255 site of FAM13A between the control subjects and IPF or RA-ILD or silicosis patients from different races by using meta-analysis. Nine studies were involved in this meta-analysis, including five IPF studies, two RA-ILD studies, and two silicosis studies, and containing 14 subgroups. We conducted separate meta-analyses for different races. RESULTS In all individuals, a substantial link between the G allele of the FAM13A rs2609255 polymorphism and IPF (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.33-1.63, p < 0.00001) was indicated. After dividing by ethnicity, the G allele was illustrated to be considerable correlation with IPF in Asian (OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.81-3.81, p < 0.00001) and with RA-ILD individuals (OR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.26-8.49, p = 0.01). Conversely, there was no correlation with the G allele and IPF in European individuals (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 0.89-1.83, p = 0.13) or silicosis in Chinese individuals (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.99-1.46, p = 0.07). CONCLUSION This is the first meta-analysis that provides evidence that the rs2609255 of FAM13A might increase susceptibility to RA-ILD, and IPF especially in Asian but not in European individuals, and not be correlated with silicosis in Chinese individuals, which indicated the differences in susceptibility to disease by race were noteworthy.

Abstract
In individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) gene polymorphism has been linked to diabetic nephropathy (DN). Different renal disorders, including DN, have been found to alter cannabinoid (CB) receptor expression and activation. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between CNR1 rs1776966256 and rs1243008337 genetic variants and the risk of developing DN in Iraqi patients with T2DM. The study included 100 patients with T2DM, divided into two groups: 50 with DN and 50 without DN. Genotyping of CNR1 rs1776966256 and rs1243008337 polymorphisms was conducted using PCR in DN patients and control samples. The distribution of rs1776966256 and rs1243008337 genotypes and alleles between the two groups revealed statistically significant differences. The frequencies of the GG and AG genotypes of CNR1 rs1776966256 were significantly different between DN patients and the control group. Additionally, compared to the A allele, the G allele of this polymorphism was linked to a higher incidence of DN (p=0.0001). Patients with the genetic polymorphism rs1243008337 had higher genotypes of CC and AC and were more likely to develop DN in the polymorphism genotype than the wild genotype. Additionally, compared to the A allele, the C allele was linked to a higher chance of developing DN (p=0.0001). Both rs1776966256 and rs1243008337 polymorphisms were correlated with the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the correlation between FCER2(2206A>G) gene polymorphism and the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS). Methods:A total of 208 CRS patients were routinely treated with functional endonasal sinus surgery and postoperative ICS. DNA extraction, PCR amplification and gene sequencing were performed to observe the FCER2(2206A>G) gene polymorphism and calculate the allele frequency. The visual analog scale(VAS) score, Lund-Kennedy score, and computed tomography(CT) Lund-Mackay score were determined 6 months after surgery among patients with different genotypes. Moreover, the polymorphism frequency was compared among different subgroups(chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps versus chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis versus non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis). Results:There were FCER2(2206A>G) gene polymorphism in patients with CRS, and the phenotypes included 3 genotypes, AA, AG and GG, with distribution frequencies of 68(32.7%), 116(55.8%) and 24(11.5%) cases, respectively. No significant differences were found in age, VAS score, nasal endoscopic Lund-Kennedy score and CT imaging Lund-Mackay score among patients with CRS of each genotype before surgery. In patients with the AA genotype, the changes in VAS score(5.74±1.10), Lund Kennedy score(5.92 ± 1.14), and CT imaging Lund-Mackay score(13.26±4.26) were significantly higher than in patients with the AG(4.37±0.86, 5.37±1.24, 10.82±3.77) and GG(4.26±0.80, 5.18±1.56, 10.10±3.53) genotype(P<0.05). However, there were no marked difference between patients with the AG genotype and those with the GG genotype(P>0.05). Compared with patients with non-eosinophilic sinusitis, Among them, the differences between the GG genotype and AG /AA genes were more significant in eosinophilic sinusitis compared to non-eosinophilic sinusitis(P<0.01). Conclusion:The FCER2(2206A>G) gene in patients with CRS has genetic polymorphism and is associated with the recovery of CRS patients after surgery, individual corticosteroid sensitivity, and subgroup variability.

Abstract
The main mechanism of innate immunity is the complement system. Its components include the protein products of the C1R and C5 genes, which are involved in the classical activation pathway as well as the inflammatory and cytolytic immune responses, respectively. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism in C1R (726T > C) and C5 (1044A > C) genes, and the values of hematological and biochemical blood indices in suckling crossbred (Polish Large White × Polish Landrace × Duroc × Pietrain) piglets (n = 473), considering their age (younger, 21 ± 3 days, n = 274; older, 35 ± 3 days, n = 199) and health status. The frequencies of the C5 genotypes deviated from the Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Younger piglets, healthy piglets, piglets that deviated from physiological norms and older piglets with the C1R TT genotype all had lower white and red blood cell indices. In piglets with the C5 CC genotype, younger piglets, piglets that deviated from physiological norms and older piglets, a greater number and/or percentage of monocytes were recorded in the blood. Older piglets also showed an increase in the number of leukocytes and granulocytes, along with a tendency for a decrease in the percentage of lymphocytes in their blood. We concluded that a polymorphism in the C1R gene may exhibit a functional association or genetic linkage with other genes involved in the process of erythropoiesis. Furthermore the relationship between the C5 gene polymorphism and the number and/or percentage of monocytes in the blood may modify the body's defense abilities. Piglets with the CC genotype, having an increased number/proportion of these cells in their blood, probably display a weakened immune response to pathogens or a chronic stimulation of the immune system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between maternal polymorphisms of NANOS3 rs2016163, HELQ rs4693089, PRIM1 rs2277339, TLK1 rs10183486, ERCC6 rs2228526, EXO1 rs1635501, DMC1 rs5757133, and MSH5 rs2075789 and fetal chromosomal abnormality. METHODS This retrospective case-control study included 571 women with fetal chromosome abnormalities (330 pregnant women diagnosed with fetal aneuploidy, 241 with fetal de novo structural chromosome pregnancy) and 811 healthy pregnant women between January 2018 and April 2022. All the above polymorphisms were tested using SNaPshot. RESULTS All the eight polymorphisms were analyzed for genotypes, alleles, under dominant and recessive genetic models. Significant distribution differences of TLK1 rs10183486 in fetal chromosome structural abnormality were found between the case group and control subjects who were <35 years of age [Genotype: p=0.029; Dominant: OR (95 %CI)=0.46 (0.25-0.82), p=0.01 and allele: OR (95 %CI)=0.47 (0.27-0.82), p=0.01 respectively], while no difference was found in the recessive model [OR (95 %CI)=2.49 (0.31-20.40), p=0.39]. In advanced age subgroups for fetal aneuploidy, significant differences were found in genotypes analysis of PRIM1 rs2277339 (p=0.008), allele analysis of TLK1 rs10183486 [OR (95 %CI)=0.62 (0.42-0.91), p=0.02]. For the fetal chromosome structural abnormality population, HELQ rs4693089 revealed a significant distribution difference (p=0.01) but not in the allele, dominant and recessive genetic models analysis (p>0.05 individually). CONCLUSIONS For older women, maternal PRIM1 rs2277339 and TLK1 rs10183486 polymorphisms may be associated with fetal aneuploidy, while HELQ rs4693089 may be associated with fetal chromosome structural abnormality. Also, carriers of T allele of TLK1 rs10183486 have a lower risk of fetal chromosome structural abnormality in younger women.

Abstract
Purpose This paper aims to study the relationship between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) by detecting Lp-PLA2 level and its gene polymorphism. Patients and Methods From January to June 2022, 82 GDM patients treated in our hospital were included as an experimental group, and 89 healthy pregnant women during the same period were selected as the control group. Lp-PLA2 concentration and TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels were tested with specialized instruments in clinical laboratories. The PLA2G7 gene polymorphisms (rs1805017, rs1805018, and rs76863441) were detected by fluorescent probe method and sequencing. Results Lp-PLA2 concentration was significantly higher in GDM group than control group (P<0.05). Among three polymorphism loci of PLA2G7 gene (rs1805017, rs1805018, and rs76863441) the significant associations were only found in GT genotype of rs76863441 loci (P<0.05). Conclusion Pregnant women with high levels of Lp-PLA2 concentration are more likely to develop GDM, especially those with PLA2G7 rs76863441 polymorphism. Lp-PLA2 concentration and PLA2G7 rs1805017 polymorphism may be a novel marker for GDM diagnosis and prediction.

Abstract
Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecologic disorder with a significant negative impact on women's health. Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) is a vital component of the RNA methyltransferase complex for N6-methyladenosine modification and plays a critical role in various human diseases. However, whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the WTAP gene predispose to endometriosis risk remains to be investigated. Methods: We genotyped three WTAP polymorphisms in 473 ovarian endometriosis patients and 459 control participants using the Agena Bioscience MassArray iPLEX platform. The logistic regression models were utilized to assess the associations between WTAP SNPs and the risk of ovarian endometriosis. Results: In the single-locus analyses, we found that the rs1853259 G variant genotypes significantly increased, while the rs7766006 T variant genotypes significantly decreased the association with ovarian endometriosis risk. Combined analysis indicated that individuals with two unfavorable genotypes showed significantly higher ovarian endometriosis risk (adjusted OR = 1.71 [1.23-2.37], p = 0.001) than those with zero risk genotypes. In the stratified analysis, the risk effect of the rs1853259 AG/GG and rs7766006 GG genotypes was evident in subgroups of age ≤30, gravidity≤1, parity≤1, rASRM stage I, and the rs7766006 GG genotype was associated with worse risk (adjusted OR = 1.64 [1.08-2.48], p = 0.021) in the patients with rASRM stage II + III + IV. The haplotype analysis indicated that individuals with GGG haplotypes had a higher risk of ovarian endometriosis than wild-type AGG haplotype carriers. Moreover, false positive report probability and Bayesian false discovery probability analysis validated the reliability of the significant results. The quantitative expression trait loci analysis revealed that rs1853259 and rs7766006 were correlated with the expression levels of WTAP. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that WTAP polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to ovarian endometriosis among Chinese women.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a highly heritable, severe psychiatric disorder that involves dysfunctions in thinking, emotions, and behavior, with a profound impact on a person's ability to function normally in their daily life. Research efforts continue to focus on elucidating possible genetic underlying mechanisms of the disorder. Although the genetic loci identified to date to be significantly associated with schizophrenia risk do not represent disease-causing factors, each one of them could be seen as a possible incremental contributor. Considering the importance of finding new and more efficient pharmacological approaches to target the complex symptomatology of this disorder, in this scoping review, we are focusing on the most recent findings in studies aiming to elucidate the contribution of one of the genetic factors involved - the BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphisms. Here we performed a systematic search in Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases with the search terms: (BDNF gene polymorphism) AND (schizophrenia) for articles published in the last 5 years. To be selected for this review, articles had to report on studies where genotyping for the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism was performed in participants diagnosed with schizophrenia (or schizophrenia spectrum disorders or first-episode psychosis). The search provided 35 results from Pubmed, 134 results from Embase, and 118 results from the Web of Science database. Twenty-two articles were selected to be included in this review, all reporting on studies where an implication of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphisms in the disorder's pathophysiology was sought to be elucidated. These studies looked at BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphism variants, their interactions with other genes of interest, and different facets of the illness. The Met/Met genotype was found to be associated with higher PANSS positive scores. Furthermore, Met/Met homozygous individuals appear to present with worse cognitive function and lower levels of serum BDNF. In the Val/Val genotype carriers, increased BDNF levels were found to correlate with weight gain under Risperidone treatment. However, due to heterogeneous results, the diversity in study populations and studies' small sample sizes, generalizations cannot be made. Our findings emphasize the need for further research dedicated to clarifying the role of gene polymorphisms in antipsychotic treatment to enhance specificity and efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is known to cause dyslipidemia and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Fatty acid binding protein (FABP)-4 plays a significant role in various stages of T2DM and CVD. Although it has been demonstrated that genetic variations of the FABP-4 gene can affect insulin sensitivity, the results obtained so far are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between T87C and rs8192688 polymorphisms and serum levels of FABP-4 with CVD susceptibility in T2DM patients. The study included 70 healthy controls, 70 individuals with T2DM, and 70 T2DM patients with CVD. Genomic DNA was extracted, and FABP-4 T87C and rs8192688 gene polymorphic sites were amplified using the ARMS-PCR method. Lipid profile and FABP-4 serum levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with CVD compared to those with only T2DM (p < 0.05). Additionally, FABP-4 T87C gene polymorphism (TC genotypes) and dominant model (TT vs. TC + CC) were significantly associated with a decreased risk of both T2DM and T2DM with CVD patients (p < 0.05). Patients carrying TC + CC genotypes had significantly lower levels of triglyceride and FABP-4 compared to those carrying the TT genotype (p < 0.05). There was no significant association between FABP-4 rs8192688 polymorphism and either T2DM or CVD disease. It appears that FABP-4 T87C polymorphism decreases FABP-4 levels leading to decreased serum TG levels. Since both T2DM and CVD have inflammatory backgrounds, reducing inflammation can improve insulin sensitivity and lower TG levels in these patients.

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, which mainly affects the lungs and lymph nodes, as well as extrapulmonary organs. Its incidence, and prevalence rate, and disease course largely vary with regions and populations globally. The clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis depend on the affected organs and the degree of severity, and the diagnosis is mainly based on serum biomarkers, radiographic, magnetic resonance, or positron emission tomography imaging, and pathological biopsy. Noncaseating granulomas composing T cells, macrophages, epithelioid cells, and giant cells, were observed in a pathological biopsy, which was the characteristic pathological manifestation of sarcoidosis. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was first found in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Its main function is to convert angiotensin I (Ang I) into Ang II, which plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. Also, an ACE insertion/deletion polymorphism exists in the human genome, which is involved in the occurrence and development of many diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, and sarcoidosis. The serum ACE level, most commonly used as a biomarker in diagnosing sarcoidosis, in patients with sarcoidosis increases. because of epithelioid cells and giant cells of sarcoid granuloma expressing ACE. Thus, it serves as the most commonly used biomarker in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and also aids in analyzing its therapeutic effect and prognosis in patients with sarcoidosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acetaldehyde can accumulate in cells and form acetaldehyde-DNA adducts that result in digestive tract cancer development. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) enzymatic activity is involved in this process. Here, we aimed to analyze the relationship between an ALDH2 gene polymorphism and the digestive tract cancer risk in the Hakka population in China. METHODS This was a retrospective study, with the ALDH2 rs671 genotype and medical record information collected from all subjects. The relationships between these factors, including various blood cell parameters, and digestive tract cancer susceptibility were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 307 cancer patients and 317 controls were included. The cancer patients had significantly higher percentages with a history of smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as an increased platelet to lymphocyte ratio and lower lymphocyte to monocyte ratio, compared with the controls. The ALDH2 rs671 genotype and allele distributions were significantly different between the cancer patients and controls. Logistic regression analysis showed that the ALDH2 G/A genotype (G/A vs. G/G) and A/A genotype (A/A vs. G/G) in the co-dominant mode were risk factors for digestive tract cancer susceptibility. CONCLUSIONS ALDH2 rs671 G/A or A/A genotype carriers may have an increased risk of developing digestive tract cancers among the Hakka people.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), a severe autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The gene polymorphism Cdx-2 (rs11568820, G/A) seriously influences the trancriptional activity of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) that binds the vitamin D responsive elements of target genes including HLA-DRB1*15. The aim of the present study in Slovaks was to analyse the association of Cdx-2 variants with the risk of MS and disability progression, and to assess the DRB1*15:01 allele as a possible confounding factor. In total, 493 MS patients and 417 healthy controls were involved in this study. The genotyping of Cdx-2 was performed using restriction analysis; DRB1*15:01 positivity was determined by a high-resolution melting analysis of its surrogate marker rs3135388 (G/A). Our results did not prove any allelic association between Cdx-2 and a risk of MS (minor allele A - 0.181 in patients vs. 0.161 in controls, OR = 1.15, .95 CI = 0.90-1.47, p = 0.289). The logistic regression analysis, adjusted for sex and age, showed no differences in Cdx-2 genotype counts when using an additive, dominant or recessive genetic model (p = 0.351, 0.150, 0.240 respectively). The Cdx-2 variants were also not associated with disease disability progression, evaluated using the Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score. The HLA-DRB1*15:01 allele was found to strongly increase the risk of MS in our study (0.300 in patients vs. 0.101 in controls, OR = 3.83, .95 CI = 2.94-4.99, p = 1.016 × 10-26, dominant genetic model OR = 4.62, .95 CI = 3.40-6.26, p = 9.1 × 10-23). In summary, we found the Cdx-2 as a single genetic marker not to be associated with MS development or progression in Slovaks, independently of HLA-DRB1*15:01 status.

Abstract
One of the key features of major depressive disorder (MDD, depression) is increased oxidative stress manifested by elevated levels of mtROS, a hallmark of mitochondrial dysfunction, which can arise from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage. Thus, the current study explores possibility that the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes encoding the three enzymes that are thought to be implicated in the replication, repair or degradation of mtDNA, i.e., POLG, ENDOG and EXOG, have an impact on the occurrence, onset, severity and treatment of MDD. Five SNPs were selected: EXOG c.-188T > G (rs9838614), EXOG c.*627G > A (rs1065800), POLG c.-1370T > A (rs1054875), ENDOG c.-394T > C (rs2977998) and ENDOG c.-220C > T (rs2997922), while genotyping was performed on 538 DNA samples (277 cases and 261 controls) using TaqMan probes. All SNPs of EXOG and ENDOG modulated the risk of depression, but the strongest effect was observed for rs1065800, while rs9838614 and rs2977998 indicate that they might influence the severity of symptoms, and, to a lesser extent, treatment effectiveness. Although the SNP located in POLG did not affect occurrence of the disease, the result suggests that it may influence the onset and treatment outcome. These findings further support the hypothesis that mtDNA damage and impairment in its metabolism play a crucial role not only in the development, but also in the treatment of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systemic review and meta-analysis seeks to systematically analyze and summarize the association between non-coding RNA polymorphisms and ovarian cancer risk. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science and CNKI for available articles on non-coding RNA polymorphisms in patients with ovarian cancer from inception to March 1, 2023. The quality of each study included in the meta-analysis was rated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to assess associations. Chi-square Q-test combined with inconsistency index (I2) was used to test for heterogeneity among studies. Lastly, trial sequential analysis (TSA) software was used to verify the reliability of meta-analysis results, and in-silico miRNA expression were also performed. The meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (No. CRD42023422091). RESULTS A total of 17 case-control studies with 18 SNPs were selected, including 2 studies with H19 rs2107425 and HOTAIR rs4759314, and 5 studies with miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-196a rs11614913. Significant associations were found between H19 rs2107425, miR-146a rs2910164, and miR-196a rs11614913 and ovarian cancer risk. Three genetic models of H19 rs2107425 (CT vs TT (heterozygote model): OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.22-1.52, P < .00001; CC + CT vs TT (dominant model): OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.02-1.24, P = .02; and CC vs CT + TT (recessive model): OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.16-1.31, P < .00001), 2 genetic models of miR-146a rs2910164 (allele model: OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.05-2.91, P = .03; and heterozygote model: OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.11-0.98, P = .05), 3 genetic models of miR-196a rs11614913 (allele model: OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.59-0.82, P < .0001; dominant model: OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.18-2.24, P = .0001; and recessive model: OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.57-0.87, P = .03) were statistically linked to ovarian cancer risk. Subgroup analysis for miR-146a rs2910164 was performed according to ethnicity. No association was found in any genetic model. The outcomes of TSA also validated the findings of this meta-analysis. CONCLUSION This study summarizes that H19 rs2107425, miR-146a rs2910164, and miR-196a rs11614913 polymorphisms are significantly linked with the risk of ovarian cancer, and moreover, large-scale and well-designed studies are needed to validate our result.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent pregnancy loss is considerably a reproductive health problem for couples. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors play an important role in the development of recurrent pregnancy loss. While there are many causes, genetic and epigenetic factors are common. In this study, we aimed to examine the association between miR604 (rs2368393) A>G gene polymorphism and the risk of recurrent miscarriage in the Turkish population. METHODS The study included 250 participants (i.e., 150 patients and 100 controls). DNA samples were isolated from peripheral blood, and polymerase chain reactions and restriction fragment length polymorphism methodologies were applied. RESULTS The genotype distribution and allele frequencies of miR604A>G gene showed statistically significant differences between patients and control groups (p=0.002 and p<0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION As a result of the study, we found that the AA genotype and A allele of the miR604A>G gene were statistically significant for the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss in Turkish women.

Abstract
Objective The present study is to explore the association between NQO1 gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Methods This research were selected 80 CHD patients as the observation group and 130 healthy people who participated in normal physical examination during the same period as the control group. NQO1 gene polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. In addition, we conducted a meta-analysis to summarize the results of three relevant previously published adult population studies on the association between NQO1 gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Results There were three genotypes (CC, CT, and TT) for NQO1 C609T polymorphism. The significant associations were found in TT genotype and T allele (all p<0.05). Specifically, People with the TT genotype have 2.06 times CHD risk as those with the CC genotype. And People with the T allele have 1.62 times CHD risk as those with the C allele. No significant association was found by any genetic models in the meta-analysis (all p >0.05). Conclusion NQO1 gene polymorphism increased the CHD risk in a Chinese population. Combined with individual gene polymorphism, the accuracy of risk assessment for CHD can be improved and individualized health education can be provided for CHD patients by nurses.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disorder characterised by progressive immune dysregulation. The importance of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in MM has been documented in various populations, but studies have been limited to the Chinese cohort. In the present study, we examined the role of PD-1/PDL-1 in large cohorts of Chinese patients with MM and healthy controls to reveal a possible association with MM. Three hundred thirty-four MM patients and 202 healthy age-sex-matched subjects were enrolled in the present study. Serum levels of PD-1 and PD-L1 were quantified by ELISA. Percentages of T cells (CD4+ and CD8+ T cells) expressing PD-1 receptor were assessed by flow cytometry. Variants in PD-L1 (rs4143815) and PD-1 gene (rs2227981, rs2227982, rs7421861 and rs11568821) were genotyped by PCR-RFLP method. Patients with multiple myeloma had higher levels of PD-1 and PDL-1 than healthy controls, indicating an important role for programmed cell death protein-1 and its ligand in the pathogenesis of MM. T cells expressing PD-1 receptors were also significantly higher in MM patients than in controls. Mutants for PD-L1 (rs4143815) and PD-1 (rs2227982 and rs7421861) polymorphisms were significantly more common in MM than in HC. Interestingly, PD-L1 (rs4143815) and PD-1 (rs2227982 and rs7421861) variants were linked to higher sPD-L1 and sPD-1 levels, respectively. PD-1/PD-L1 levels are significantly higher in MM patients and could be a promising biomarker for the disease. Variants of PD-L1 and PD-1 are linked to serum-soluble proteins and are associated with the development of MM.

Abstract
Object This study investigated the correlation between polymorphisms of the ICAM-1 gene and prognosis of Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), and developed a prognostic model for predicting the prognosis ICM on the basis of ICAM-1 gene variants. Methods The current study included totally 576 patients with ICM. All patients are randomly divided into training group with 399 patients and validation group with 177 patients. The prognostic model was constructed by using the data of training group. Univariable Cox-regression analysis was performed, including clinical and gene variants, then used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model to optimize feature selection. Furthermore, multivariate Cox-regression was applied to build the prognostic nomogram model, which included clinical and gene features chosen by the LASSO regression model. Following that, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, C-index, calibration plot analyses and decision curve analysis (DCA) were carried out to evaluate the discrimination ability, consistency, and clinical utility of the prognostic model. Results Predicting factors rs281430, ventricular arrhythmia, treating by PCI or CABG, use of β-blockers, heart rate (HR), serum sodium level, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD) were the risk factors of the prognosis of ICM, incorporated these factors into the prognostic nomogram model. The constructed nomogram performed well in discrimination ability, as observed by the ROC and C-index. Furthermore, as shown by calibration curves, our nomogram's predicted probabilities were highly consistent with measured values. With threshold probabilities, DCA suggested that our nomogram could be useful in the clinic. Conclusion rs281430 mutation (from AA genotype to AG or GG genotype) is a risk factor for ICM patients to have a higher survival probability; the survival probability of ICM patients with the mutant genotype (AG or GG) is lower than those with the wild genotype (AA).

Abstract
Background Methotrexate (MTX), utilized as a graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylactic agent in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), has been proven to effectively decrease the occurrence of the peri-engraftment syndrome (Peri-ES) and acute GvHD (aGvHD). Changes in the pharmacodynamics of MTX are closely associated with gene polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Nevertheless, the current studies mainly concentrate on leukemia or autoimmune diseases, and limited studies on allo-HSCT were reported. Methods Here, we retrospectively assessed the relationship between MTX-related transporter and metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms, clinical characteristics, and outcomes in 57 pediatric patients who received haploid HSCT (haplo-HSCT) with malignant tumors at a single center. Results We discovered all gene polymorphisms were in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in our cohort. We discovered a significant correlation between platelet recovery time and ABCB1 (1236C>T) (p = 0.042). Compared with patients with SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TT, patients with SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TC/CC had an increased incidence of Peri-ES (p = 0.030). Based on the multivariate Cox analysis, we discovered that SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TT genotype was an independent protective factor for Peri-ES morbidity (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.464, p = 0.031), and the dose of mononuclear cells reinfused was significantly correlated with II-IV aGvHD (HR = 2.604, p = 0.039). Conclusion In summary, our findings prove that the host's genotypes might modify the risk of developing Peri-ES, contribute to a better understanding of the inter-individual difference in efficacy, and facilitate the development of individualized approaches to GvHD prophylaxis.

Abstract
Background To explore the association of polymorphisms of apoptosis-linked genes caspase3 (CASP3), integrin a subunit 1 (ITGA1), glutathione sulfur transferase M1 (GSTM1) with susceptibility to gastric cardia carcinoma (GCC). Methods From February 2016 to March 2018, selection of 113 GCC patients was as the gastric cancer (GC), and selection of 75 patients without gastric disease was as the control. Detection of CASP3, ITGA1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms in patients' peripheral blood was to analyze their association with GC. Division of the GC was into the good prognosis and the unpleasing prognosis in the light of the survival of patients after surgery of 3 years, and the predictable value of gene polymorphisms of CASP3, ITGA1 and GSTM1 in GCC patients was analyzed. Results CASP3 gene rs12108497 locus, ITGA1 gene rs1862610 locus and GSTM1 genotype of the GC and the control were in accord with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05); The detection rate of CASP3 gene rs12108497 locus TC/CC type, ITGA1's gene rs1862610 locus AC/AA type and GSTM1 blank type in the GC was elevated vs. the control (P < 0.05); Logistic regression analysis manifested smoking, anxiety, helicobacter pylori infection, family history of gastrointestinal tumor, combination with chronic gastric disease, CASP3 gene and GSTM1 gene polymorphism were risk factors for GC (P < 0.05); Stratification was in the light of individual smoking status, discovering that the detection rates of CASP3 gene rs12108497 locus TC/CC type, ITGA1 gene RS1862610 locus AC/AA type and GSTM1 blank type in the smoking were crucially augmented vs. the smoking (P < 0.05); The detection rates of CASP3 gene rs12108497 locus TC/CC type, ITGA1 gene rs1862610 locus AC/AA type and GSTM1 blank type in the death were augmented vs. the survival (P < 0.05); Combined detection of CASP3, ITGA1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms was provided with predictive value for GCC's prognosis (P < 0.05). Conclusions CASP3 and GSTM1 genes are susceptibility genes for GCC, which might be associated with the occurrence of GCC in smoking patients, and the joint detection of multiple genes is provided with predictive value for patients' prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis, but the exact mechanism remains debatable. In this study, we investigated the associations among the serum levels of PAI-1, the incidence of 4G/5G promoter PAI-1 gene polymorphisms, immunological indicators, and clinical outcomes in septic patients. METHODS A total of 181 patients aged 18-80 years with sepsis between November 2016 and August 2018 in the intensive care unit in the Xinhua Hospital were recruited in this retrospective study, with 28-day mortality as the primary outcome. The initial serum level of PAI-1 and the presence of rs1799768 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were examined. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with different genotypes of PAI-1, serum level of PAI-1, and 28-day mortality. RESULTS The logistic analysis suggested that a high serum level of PAI-1 was associated with the rs1799768 SNP of PAI-1 (4G/4G and 4G/5G) (Odds ratio [OR]: 2.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09, 5.68). Furthermore, a high serum level of PAI-1 strongly influenced 28-day mortality (OR 3.36; 95% CI 1.51, 7.49). The expression and activation of neutrophils (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.93, 0.99), as well as the changes in the expression patterns of cytokines and chemokine-associated neutrophils (OR: 1.00; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.00), were both regulated by the genotype of PAI-1. CONCLUSIONS Genetic polymorphisms of PAI-1 can influence the serum levels of PAI-1, which might contribute to mortality by affecting neutrophil activity. Thus, patients with severe sepsis might clinically benefit from enhanced neutrophil clearance and the resolution of inflammation via the regulation of PAI-1 expression and activity.

Abstract
Molecular genetic analysis of polymorphic variants of serotonin receptor genes (HTR2C and HTR2A) was performed in 89 healthy medical students and regulatory and adaptive capacities were determined by cardiorespiratory synchronism. The relationship of serotonin receptor gene polymorphisms and the regulatory and adaptive capabilities of the body were revealed. The highly active *G allele and *G/*G genotype of the serotonin receptor HTR2C gene and the heterozygous *A/*G genotype of the serotonin receptor HTR2A gene are associated with "good" regulatory and adaptive capacities. The low-active *C allele of the serotonin receptor HTR2C gene is associated with "low" regulatory and adaptive capacities.

Abstract
Background Vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 is highly effective in preventing infection and reducing the severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, acquired humoral immunity wanes within six months. Focusing on the different tempo of acquisition and attenuation of specific antibody titers in individuals, we investigated the impact of genetic polymorphisms on antibody production after COVID-19 vaccination. Methods In total 236 healthcare workers from a Japanese municipal hospital, who received two doses of the vaccine were recruited. We employed a candidate gene approach to identify the target genetic polymorphisms affecting antibody production after vaccination. DNA samples from the study populations were genotyped for 33 polymorphisms in 15 distinct candidate genes encoding proteins involved in antigen-presenting cell activation, T cell activation, T-B interaction, and B cell survival. We measured total anti-SARS-Cov2 spike IgG antibody titers and analyzed the association with genetic polymorphisms at several time points after vaccination using an unbiased statistical method, and stepwise logistic regression following multivariate regression. Results Significant associations were observed between seven SNPs in NLRP3, OAS1, IL12B, CTLA4, and IL4, and antibody titers at 3 weeks after the first vaccination as an initial response. Six SNPs in NLRP3, TNF, OAS1, IL12B, and CTLA4 were associated with high responders with serum antibody titer > 4000 BAU/ml as boosting effect at 3 weeks after the second vaccination. Analysis of long-term maintenance showed the significance of the three SNPs in IL12B, IL7R, and MIF for the maintenance of antibody titers and that in BAFF for attenuation of neutralizing antibodies. Finally, we proposed a predictive model composed of gene profiles to identify the individuals with rapid antibody attenuation by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis (area under the curve (AUC)= 0.76, sensitivity = 82.5%, specificity=67.8%). Conclusions The candidate gene approach successfully showed shifting responsible gene profiles and initial and boosting effect mainly related to the priming phase into antibody maintenance including B cell survival, which traces the phase of immune reactions. These gene profiles provide valuable information for further investigation of humoral immunity against COVID-19 and for building a strategy for personalized vaccine schedules.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare but severe adverse effect that can occur as a result of bisphosphonate treatment. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PPARγ and PPARGC1A polymorphisms and the BRONJ development in female osteoporosis patients undergoing bisphosphonate treatment. We prospectively conducted this nested case-control study at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital between 2014 and 2018. We assessed five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PPARγ and six SNPs of PPARGC1A and performed a multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for developing BRONJ. There were a total of 123 patients included in this study and 56 patients (45.5%) developed BRONJ. In the univariate analysis, PPARGC1A rs2946385 and rs10020457 polymorphisms were significantly associated with BRONJ (p = 0.034, p = 0.020, respectively), although the results were not statistically significant in the multivariable analysis. Patients with the combined genotypes of GG in both PPARγ rs1151999 and PPARGC1A rs2946385 showed a 3.03-fold higher risk of BRONJ compared to individuals with other genotype combinations after adjusting for confounders (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-9.11). Old age (≥70 years) and duration of bisphosphonate use (≥60 months) increased the risk of BRONJ. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the predicted probability was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.69-0.87, p < 0.001), demonstrating a satisfactory level of discriminatory power. Our study elucidated that PPARγ and PPARGC1A polymorphisms were interactively associated with BRONJ development. These results have potential implications for tailoring personalized treatments for females undergoing bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis.
