Background. Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a relatively serious condition which seriously reduces patient quality of life. However, the pathogenesis of steroid-induced ONFH is still unclear. In recent years, more scholars have found that the pathogenesis of steroid-induced ONFH is related to susceptibility factors such asMMPs/TIMPssystem. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation betweenMMP2andMMP10gene polymorphisms and steroid-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population.Methods. Six SNPs inMMP2and two SNPs inMMP10were genotyped using Agena MassARRAY RS1000 system from 286 patients of steroid-induced ONFH and in 309 healthy controls. The association betweenMMP2andMMP10polymorphisms and steroid-induced ONFH risk were estimated by the Chi-squared test, genetic model analysis, haplotype analysis, and stratification analysis. The relative risk was estimated by odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Result. We found that the minor TG allele of rs470154 inMMP10was associated with an increased risk of steroid-induced ONFH (OR = 1.45, 95% CI, 1.03 – 2.05,p= 0.032). In the genetic model analysis, we found that rs2241146 inMMP2gene and rs470154 inMMP10gene showed a statistically significant association with increased risk of steroid-induced ONFH. The six SNPs (rs470154, rs243866, rs243864, rs865094, rs11646643, and rs2241146) showed a statistically significant association with different clinical phenotypes.Conclusion. Our results verify that genetic polymorphisms ofMMP2andMMP10contribute to steroid-induced ONFH susceptibility in the population of Chinese Han population, and our study provides new insights into the role thatMMP2andMMP10plays in the mechanism of ONFH.

BackgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is the most frequent multifactorial disease worldwide and is characterised by endothelial injury, lipid deposition and coronary artery calcification. The purpose of this study was to determine the allelic and genotypic frequencies of two loci (rs2026458 and rs9349379) of phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) to the risk of developing CAD in the Chinese Han population.MethodsA case–control study was conducted including 332 patients with CAD and 119 controls. Genotype analysis was performed by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Genetic model analysis was performed to evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and CAD susceptibility using Pearson’s χ2 test and logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe GG genotype of rs9349379 represented 50% and 29% of patients with CAD and controls, respectively (p<0.001). The CC genotype of rs2026458 was more prevalent in the controls than in patients with CAD compared with TT genotype (OR=0.548, 95% CI 0.351 to 0.856, p=0.008). Logistic regression analyses revealed that PHACTR1 rs9349379 GG genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of CAD in the recessive model (OR=2.359, 95% CI 1.442 to 3.862, p=0.001), even after adjusting for age gender, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and smoking habit. Heterogeneity test proved that rs9349379’s risk effects on CAD were more significant among women.ConclusionsOur study indicate that the PHACTR1 rs9349379 polymorphism is associated with the increased risk for CAD in the female Chinese Han population.

ObjectivesSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is an uncommon autoimmune disease that varies with ethnicity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GTFSI, NFKB1, and TYK2 genes have been reported to be associated with SSc in other populations and in individuals with various autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between these SNPs and susceptibility to SSc in a Chinese Han population.MethodA case-control study was performed in 343 patients with SSc and 694 ethnically matched healthy controls. SNPs in GTF2I, NFKB1, and TYK2 were genotyped using a Sequenom MassArray iPLEX system. Association analyses were performed using PLINK v1.90 software.ResultOur study demonstrated that the GTF2I rs117026326 T allele and the GTF2I rs73366469 C allele were strongly associated with patients with SSc (P = 6.97E-10 and P = 1.33E-08, respectively). Patients carrying the GTF2I rs117026326 TT genotype and the GTF2I rs73366469 CC genotype had a strongly increased risk of SSc (P = 6.25E-09 and P = 1.67E-08, respectively), and those carrying the NFKB1 rs1599961 AA genotype had a suggestively significantly increased risk of SSc (P = 0.014). Moreover, rs117026326 and rs73366469 were associated with SSc in different genetic models (additive model, dominant model, and recessive model) (P &lt; 0.05) whereas rs1599961 was associated with SSc in the dominant genetic model but not in the addictive and recessive models (P = 0.0026). TYK2 rs2304256 was not significantly associated with SSc in this study.ConclusionGTF2I rs117026326 and rs73366469 SNPs were strongly associated with SSc in this Chinese Han population. NFKB1 rs1599961 showed a suggestive association with SSc, and no significant association was found between TYK2 rs2304256 and SSc in this Chinese Han population.

Purpose Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and fourth leading cause of cancer mortality, and twin studies have shown that approximately 35% of the variation in susceptibility to CRC involves inherited genetic differences. We sought to investigate potential genetic associations between some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of CRC in the Chinese Han population. Methods We conducted a case-control study including 269 cases and 309 controls. Sixteen SNPs associated with CRC risk were selected from previous genome-wide association studies and genotyped using Sequenom MassARRAY technology. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusting for age and gender. Results Using the chi-squared test we found that rs9365723 was associated with CRC risk (p = 0.012). With genetic model analysis, the genotype A/G-G/G (OR = 1.50; 95% CI 1.02-2.21; p = 0.038) of rs9365723 showed an increased risk of CRC in the dominant model. Furthermore, we found that rs9365723 was associated with an increased risk only for colon cancer but not rectal cancer (p = 0.009 and p = 0.414, respectively). Conclusions Our results, combined with previous studies, suggest that rs9365723, located on SYNJ2, is associated with the risk of CRC in a Chinese population. Thus, SYNJ2 may play a role in the development of CRC, especially colon cancer.

Abstract Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most frequent malignancy in the world. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) has been proved to be closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. The objective of this research was to assess the association of IL-4 genetic polymorphisms with HNC risk in Chinese Han population. Methods: Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-4 gene were successfully genotyped using Agena MassARRY in 535 HNC patients and 538 healthy controls. Under multiple genetic models, stratification analysis and haplotype analysis, odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the association between SNPs and HNC risk. Results: The polymorphism, rs2243250, in the IL-4 gene was significantly associated with an increased HNC risk in the allele model (P < 0.05). In the genetic model, the polymorphisms rs2243250, rs2243267 and rs2243270 in IL-4 gene conferred an increased risk of HNC (P < 0.05). Gender stratification analysis showed that in males, rs2243250, rs2243267, rs2243270 and rs2243289 were associated with an increased risk of HNC (P < 0.05), while rs2243283 was associated with a decreased risk of HNC in males (P < 0.05). Besides, we have not found any association between six SNPs in IL-4 gene and HNC risk in females. Further haplotype analysis revealed that the haplotype CTGAC was significantly associated with a decreased risk of HNC. Conclusion: This study provides an evidence for polymorphism of IL-4 gene associated with the development of HNC in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract Background: This research aimed to study the associations between XPD (G751A, rs13181), hOGG1 (C326G, rs1052133) and XRCC4 (G1394T, rs6869366) gene polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Chinese Han population. Method: A total of 225 Chinese Han patients with CRC were selected as the study group, and 200 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group. The polymorphisms of XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T loci were detected by the RFLP-PCR technique in the peripheral blood of all subjects. Results: Compared with individuals carrying the XPD751 GG allele, the A allele carriers (GA/AA) had a significantly increased risk of CRC (adjusted OR = 2.109, 95%CI = 1.352–3.287, P=0.003). Similarly, the G allele (CG/GG) of hOGG1 C326G locus conferred increased susceptibility to CRC (adjusted OR = 2.654, 95%CI = 1.915–3.685, P<0.001). In addition, the T allele carriers (GT/TT) of the XRCC4 G1394T locus have an increased risk of developing CRC (adjusted OR = 4.512, 95%CI = 2.785–7.402, P<0.001). The risk of CRC was significantly increased in individuals with both the XPD locus A allele and the hOGG1 locus G allele (adjusted OR = 1.543, 95%CI = 1.302–2.542, P=0.002). Furthermore, individuals with both the hOGG1 locus G allele and the XRCC4 locus T allele were predisposed to CRC development (adjusted OR = 3.854, 95%CI = 1.924–7.123, P<0.001). The risks of CRC in XPD gene A allele carriers (GA/AA) (adjusted OR = 1.570, 95%CI = 1.201–1.976, P=0.001), hOGG1 gene G allele carriers (CG/GG) (adjusted OR = 3.031, 95%CI = 2.184–4.225, P<0.001) and XRCC4 gene T allele carriers (GT/TT) (adjusted OR = 2.793, 95%CI = 2.235–3.222, P<0.001) were significantly higher in patients who smoked ≥16 packs/year. Conclusion: Our results suggest that XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T gene polymorphisms might play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and increase the risk of developing CRC in the Chinese Han population. The interaction between smoking and these gene polymorphisms would increase the risk of CRC.

Abstract Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally. Recent studies have revealed that the CYP19A1 gene played a crucial role in cancer initiation and development. The aim of this study was to assess the association of CYP19A1 genetic polymorphisms with the risk of lung cancer in the Chinese Han population. Method: This study randomly recruited 507 lung cancer patients and 505 healthy controls. The genotypes of four SNPs of CYP19A1 gene were identified by Agena MassARRY technique. Genetic model analysis was used to assess the association between genetic variation and lung cancer risk. Odds ratio (OR) values and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were provided for the evaluation of the lung cancer risk effect. Results: Rs28757157 and rs59429575 polymorphisms of CYP19A1 were significantly correlated with the risk of lung cancer. In stratified analysis, rs28757157 was associated with increased cancer risk in smokers and individuals aged ≤ 60 years. Meanwhile, rs59429575 was identified as a risk biomarker in females and lung adenocarcinoma patients (p < 0.05). While rs28757157 exerted a protective role among people with a BMI greater than 24 (p = 0.033). Conclusions: This study identified two new SNPs (rs28757157 and rs59429575) of CYP19A1 associated with lung cancer in Chinese Han population. These findings provide data support for further functional studies of CYP19A1 in lung cancer.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays important roles in endothelial dysfunction, vascular physiology, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Nonetheless, the role of ET-1 (EDN1) gene variants on coronary artery disease (CAD) risk remains poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of EDN1 gene polymorphisms on individual susceptibility to CAD. We genotyped five tagSNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) (rs6458155, rs4145451, rs9369217, rs3087459, and rs2070699) within EDN1 gene in 525 CAD patients and 675 control subjects. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, we detected an association of rs6458155 in EDN1 gene with the CAD risk; compared with the TT homozygotes, the CT heterozygotes (odds ratio (OR) = 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–2.29, P=0.040) and the CC homozygotes (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.01–2.36, P=0.043) were statistically significantly associated with the increased risk for CAD. A similar trend of the association was found in dominant model (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.05–2.25, P=0.029). Consistently, the haplotype rs6458155C-rs4145451C containing rs6458155 C allele exhibited the increased CAD risk (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.03–1.43, and P=0.018). In addition, CT genotype of rs6458155 conferred the increased plasma ET-1 levels compared with TT genotype (P<0.05). No association of the other four tagSNPs in EDN1 gene with CAD risk was observed. In conclusion, our study provides the first evidence that EDN1 tagSNP rs6458155 is associated with CAD risk in the Chinese Han population, which is probably due to the influence of the circulating ET-1 levels.
