Some effective antithyroid drugs (ATDs) have been widely used for patients with Graves’ disease (GD) but are associated with ATD-induced agranulocytosis. We selected 29 ATD-induced agranulocytosis patients, 44 ATD-induced neutropenia patients, and 140 GD controls among the Chinese Han population who were recruited at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiao Tong University. We assessed their response to ATDs treatment by performing genotyping for a candidate gene association study of samples from patients receiving treatment. Human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3), which is the major hepatic enzyme involved in the production of N-oxide of trimethylamine, catalyzes the oxygenation of a variety of drug compounds. Six single SNP, genotype, haplotype (HAP), and association analyses of the FMO3 gene with ATD-induced agranulocytosis/neutropenia under different models (i.e., additive, dominant, and recessive models) were performed. Rs1736557, which caused an amino acid variation V257M, showed a strong association between ATD-induced agranulocytosis and GD controls after Bonferroni correction (p = 0.011, OR 2.301, 95% CI 1.201–4.409). The presence of HAP 3 (HAP3) in the FMO3 gene HAP was statistically associated with ATD-induced agranulocytosis (p = 0.038, permutation p value). Our findings indicate that genetic variations in the FMO3 gene are associated with the response to ATDs maintenance treatment in ATD-induced agranulocytosis patients of ­Chinese Han population.

Forty-nine susceptible loci have been reported to be significantly associated with vitiligo by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in European-derived whites. To date, some of these reported susceptibility loci have not yet been validated in the Chinese Han population. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the 16 reported susceptible loci in European-derived whites were associated with vitiligo in the Chinese Han population. Imputation was performed using our previous GWAS dataset by IMPUTE v2.2.2. The 16 imputed top single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with suggestive signals, together with the reported SNPs, were genotyped in a total of 2581 patients and 2579 controls by the Sequenom MassARRAY system. PLINK 2.0 software was used to perform association analysis. The dbSNP database, HaploReg, and eQTL data were adopted to annotate the biological function of the SNPs. Finally, four SNPs from three loci were significantly associated with vitiligo, including rs3747517 (P = 1.29 × 10–3, OR = 0.87) in 2q24.2, rs4807000 (P = 7.78 × 10–24, OR = 0.66) and rs6510827 (P = 3.65 × 10–5, OR = 1.19) in 19p13.3, and rs4822024 (P = 6.37 × 10–10, OR = 0.67) in 22q13.2. According to the dbSNP database, rs3747517 is a missense variant of IFIH1, rs4807000 and rs6510827 are located in TICAM1, and rs4822024 is located 6 kb upstream of TEF. Further bioinformatics analysis by HaploReg and eQTL found that rs4807000, rs6510827, and rs4822024 are involved in regulating gene expression. Our study revealed the strong association of 2q24.2 (rs3747517), 19p13.3 (rs4807000, rs6510827), and 22q13.2 (rs4822024) with the risk of vitiligo in the Chinese Han population, which implicates common factors for vitiligo across different ethnicities, and helps expand the understanding of the genetic basis of this disease.

Abstract Objectives: Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) is a potential target for the treatment of schizophrenia (SZ), with the evidence that mGluR5 modulates glutamatergic signaling through the NMDA receptor (NMDAR). Recently it was reported that the GRM5 gene (encoding mGluR5) is associated with SZ in the Scottish population. Methods: Here, case-control association analyses were performed in the Chinese-Han population to investigate if GRM5 gene is implicated in SZ. Twenty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed in 528 paranoid SZ and 528 control subjects.Results: The genotypic and allelic frequencies of two SNPs, rs567990 and rs12421343 were significantly different between the case and control group (Genotype P = 0.007 and 0.011; Allele P = 0.003 and 0.021; respectively). The frequency of rs504183 allele was associated with SZ (P = 0.030). When subjects were stratified by gender, the rs12422021, rs567990, rs12421343, and rs7101540 remained significantly associated with SZ in female patients. Analysis of clinical features of SZ, as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) inventory, displayed association of GRM5 to features of the general phenotype of SZ, including traits representing delusions, hallucinations and negative symptoms. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study provides further evidence that GRM5 is associated with SZ, and implies a putative sex difference for the effect of the gene.

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 < 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.
