Background This study analyzed the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the mutY homolog gene ( MUTYH) and the calcium release-activated calcium channel gene ( ORAI1) with susceptibility to osteoarthritis in the Chinese Han population. Methods A total of 350 patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis from October 2013 to May 2016 were selected as the study group, together with 350 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. MUTYH SNP rs3219463 and ORAI1 SNPs rs712853, rs12313273, rs6486795, rs12320939, and rs7135617 were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Serum MUTYH levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relationship between SNPs in MUTYH and ORAI1 and osteoarthritis susceptibility was analyzed and compared with the level of serum MUTYH in the osteoarthritis and control groups. Results MUTYH rs3219463 G allele carriers (GG or GA genotypes) and ORAI1 rs7135617 T allele carriers had a higher risk of osteoarthritis than patients with other genotypes. The level of serum MUTYH in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group (22.05 ± 19.14 ng/mL vs. 14.15 ± 13.54 ng/mL). Conclusions MUTYH and ORAI1 SNPs are associated with osteoarthritis susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate UBASH3A gene variation association with autoimmune thyroid disease and clinical features in a Chinese Han population. Subjects and methods: A total of 667 AITD patients (417 GD and 250 HT) and 301 healthy controls were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs11203203, rs3788013 of UBASH3A gene, utilizing the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (MALDI-TOF-MS) Platform. Results: Between the control group and AITD, GD and HT group, no statistically significant difference was observed in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the two SNPs. There was no significant difference in allelic frequencies of the two SNPs between GD with and without ophthalmopathy. There was no significant difference in haplotype distributions between the control group and AITD, GD or HT group. Conclusion: Rs11203203 and rs3788013 in UBASH3A gene may not be associated with AITD patients in Chinese Han population.

Abstract We aimed to study the relationship between rs11174811 and rs3803107 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA target sites of the 3′ UTR in the arginine vasopressin receptor 1a gene (AVPR1A) and the risk of hypertension in the Chinese Han population. The genotypes at rs11174811 and rs3803107 were analyzed by direct sequencing in 425 Chinese Han patients with hypertension and 425 healthy subjects. AVPR1A expression was investigated by transfecting miR-526b, miR-375, and miR-186 mimics into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) containing AVPR1A rs11174811 CC, CA/AA and AVPR1A rs3803107 GG, GA/AA genotypes. The A alleles of rs11174811 (adjusted OR = 1.424, 95% CI: 1.231–1.599, P<0.001) and rs3803107 (adjusted OR = 1.222, 95% CI: 1.092–1.355; P=0.001) were high risk factors for hypertension. Plasma levels of miR-526b, miR-375, and miR-186 were higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.001). The expression levels of AVPR1A mRNA in AVPR1A rs11174811 and rs3803107 mutant HUVECs were higher than those in wild-type cells (t = 8.811, 4.068 and P=0.001, 0.015, respectively). The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs11174811 and rs3803107 in the AVPR1A gene are associated with an increased risk of hypertension in the Chinese Han population. This may be related to the effect of these variants on the regulation of AVPR1A expression by miRNAs.

Uncertain Etiology

Primary frozen shoulder (PFS) is a common condition of uncertain etiology that is characterized by shoulder pain and restriction of active and passive glenohumeral motions. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the joint capsule. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at IL-1β, MMP3, TGF-β1, and GDF5 have been associated with risk of a variety of inflammatory diseases; however, no studies have examined these SNPs with susceptibility to PFS. We investigated allele and genotype frequencies of rs1143627 at IL-1β, rs650108 at MMP-3, rs1800469 at TGF-β1, and rs143383 at GDF5 in 42 patients with PFS and 50 healthy controls in a Chinese Han population. Serum samples from both cohorts were evaluated to determine the expression levels of IL-1β. We found that the IL-1β rs1143627 CC genotype was associated with a decreased risk of PFS compared to the TT genotype (P=0.022) and that serum IL-1β was expressed at a significantly higher level in the PFS cohort compared to that found in the control group (P<0.001). Our findings indicated no evidence of an association between rs650108, rs1800469, or rs143383 and PFS. IL-1β is associated with susceptibility to PFS and may have a role in its pathogenesis in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract Background: Brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) are high-flow intracranial vascular malformations characterized by the direct connection of arteries to veins without an intervening capillary bed. It is one of the main causes of intracranial hemorrhage and epilepsy though morbidity is low. Angiogenesis, heredity, inflammation, and arteriovenous malformation syndromes play important roles in BAVM formation. Animal experiments and previous studies have confirmed that NOTCH4 may be associated with BAVM development. Our study identifies a connection between NOTCH4 gene polymorphisms and BAVM in a Chinese Han population.Methods: We enrolled 150 patients with BAVMs confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the Department of Neurosurgery, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2017 to July 2019. Simultaneously, 150 patients without cerebrovascular disease were confirmed by computed tomography angiography/magnetic resonance angiography/DSA. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and NOTCH4 genotypes were identified by PCR-ligase detection reaction. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used to evaluate the difference in allele and genotype frequencies between the BAVM group, control group, bleeding, and other complications.Results: Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs443198 and rs438475, were significantly associated with BAVM. No SNP genotypes were significantly associated with hemorrhage and epilepsy. SNPs rs443198_ AA-SNP and rs438475_ AA-SNP may be associated with lower risk of BAVM (P = 0.011, OR = 0.459, 95% CI 0.250–0.845; P = 0.033, OR = 0.759, 95% CI 0.479–1.204).Conclusion: NOTCH4 gene polymorphisms were associated with BAVM and may be a risk factor in a Chinese Han population.

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.

Objective To explore the relationship between the omentin-1 gene rs2274907 A>T polymorphism and colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Chinese Han population. Methods rs2274907 A>T was assessed by PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Plasma omentin-1 expression from 358 patients with CRC and 286 healthy controls was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CRC and control groups were divided into subgroups according to the body mass index (BMI) threshold of 25 kg/m2. Results No significant differences were observed between CRC and control groups in terms of genotype or allele frequencies of rs2274907 A>T. Compared with individuals with BMI <25 kg/m2 and the rs2274907 TT genotype, those with AA+AT genotypes and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 had a 3.027-fold increased risk of CRC. A significant tendency toward a higher stage of colorectal adenocarcinomas and depth of invasion was observed in individuals with the rs2274907 AA genotype compared with other genotypes. Conclusions The omentin-1 gene rs2274907 A>T polymorphism does not seem to play a critical role in the development of CRC in the Chinese Han population, but an interaction between the rs2274907 A allele and BMI may increase the CRC risk. The rs2274907 AA genotype is a potential biomarker for CRC stage progression.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate whether thymocyte-expressed, positive selection-associated 1 (TESPA1) gene polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis(AS) in a Chinese Han population. Methods A total of 99 AS patients were recruited as case group and 96 healthy individuals were collected as control group. TESPA1 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing methods. The genotype distribution of TESPA1 gene rs4758993 and rs4758994 polymorphism was detected by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The genotype and allele distributions of each polymorphism were also compared between groups. Moreover, odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using the χ2 test to evaluate the association between AS susceptibility and TESPA1 polymorphisms. Results rs4758993 and rs4758994 polymorphisms were conformed to be in HWE in genotypes distribution of the control group (P > 0.05 for both). A remarkable decrease trend of rs4758993 AG genotype and A allele were detected in AS patients than in healthy controls (P = 0.01 and 0.02, respectively), indicating that they obviously decreased the risk of AS in a Chinese Han population (OR = 0.303, 95%CI = 0.144–0.637; OR = 0.002, 95%CI = 0.173–0.703). However, No significant differences were detected for TESPA1 gene rs4758994 polymorphism in both genotype and allele distributions between case and control groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Our findings suggest that TESPA1 gene rs4758993 polymorphism was significantly associated with AS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population and the mutant A allele severed as a protect factor for the development of AS.

Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder with unknown etiology. A number of recent studies have shown that the polymorphism of the neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 (NEDD4) gene is associated with a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, and may also be associated with cognitive dysfunction in these diseases. Methods A case-control study was carried out, the alleles and genotypes distributions of five loci (rs3088077, rs2303579, rs7162435, rs11550869, rs62043855) of the NEDD4 gene from 296 schizophrenia patients and 320 healthy controls were detected by using Taqman single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping technology. The clinical data of case and control group members were collected by self-made questionnaire and the psychotic symptoms of case group members were assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was used to test the cognitive function of case group members. Results The alleles and genotypes frequency of two loci (rs3088077, rs2303579) between case and control group showed significant differences (P <  0.05). There was no significant difference in MCCB scores of patients with different genotypes at rs3088077, rs11550869 and rs7162435 loci in case group. The study of rs2303579 locus showed that, patients’ scores with CT genotype were significantly lower than those with CC and TT genotypes (P <  0.05) in the test of Wechsler Memory Scale-Third Edition (WMS-III): Spatial Span, the scores of patients with TT genotype were significantly higher than those with CT genotype (P < 0.05) in the test of Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R). The study of rs62043855 locus showed that patients with TG genotype had significantly lower scores than those with GG genotype (P < 0.05) in the test of Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB): Mazes. Conclusions Our study showed that in schizophrenia patients of Chinese Han population, the polymorphisms of rs3088077 and rs2303579 loci were related to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, while the polymorphisms of rs2303579 and rs62043855 loci were associated with cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune system diseases in our world. More studies in recent years have shown that FCRL gene polymorphisms is closely related to autoimmune diseases. It is suggested that genetic factors play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between FCRL1 rs2050568, FCRL3 rs2317230 and FCRL6 rs58240276 polymorphisms and RA risk in the Chinese Han population. 506 with RA patients and 509 healthy controls were recruited in this study, and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was successfully genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY platform. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) after adjusting for age and gender were conducted to assess these SNPs polymorphisms and RA risk. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was conducted to analyze SNP-SNP interaction. Results Our results revealed that there no significant association was observed between the allele and genotype frequencies among these SNPs and RA risk (all p > 0.05). Straified analysis by age and gender, the results confirmed that FCRL1 rs2050568 T/T genotype enhanced the risk of RA in females (p = 0.014). The G/T - T/T genotype of FCRL3 rs2317230 was correlated with a decreased RA risk in males (p = 0.021). We also observed that the C/T-T/T genotype of FCRL6 rs58240276 was increased the risk of RA in the group at age >  54 years (p = 0.016). In addition, FCRL1 rs2050568-TT, FCRL6 rs58240276-TT and FCRL1 rs2050568-TT, FCRL3 rs2317230-TT, FCRL6 rs58240276-TT are the best models for multi-site MDR analysis (p < 0.05), and the two best models mentioned above and classes RA have the most significant correlation. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that FCRL1 rs2050568, FCRL3 rs2317230, and FCRL6 rs58240276 polymorphisms were correlated with RA susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract Objective: To study the correlation between adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene 3′ untranslated region (UTR) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their interactions with environmental factors and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Chinese Han population. Methods: Genotypes of APC gene 3′UTR rs1804197, rs41116, rs448475, and rs397768 loci in 340 Chinese Han patients with CRC and 340 healthy controls were analyzed. All patients with CRC were analyzed for progression-free survival (PFS) during a 3-year follow-up. Results: The risk of CRC in subjects carrying the APC gene rs1804197 A allele was 2.95-times higher than for the C allele carriers. The interactions of the rs1804197 SNP with body mass index (BMI) and smoking were associated with the risk of CRC. The risk of CRC in the APC gene rs397768 G allele carriers was 1.68-times higher than in the A allele carriers. The interaction between the rs397768 locus SNP and gender was also associated with the risk of CRC. The 3-year PFS of patients with APC gene rs1804197 AA genotype, CA genotype, and CC genotype CRC decreased in this order, with significant difference. In addition, the 3-year PFS of rs397768 locus GG genotype, AG genotype, and AA genotype CRC patients decreased in this order, and the difference was significant. Conclusion: The rs1804197 locus in the 3′UTR region of the APC gene and its interactions with BMI and smoking are associated with the risk of CRC in a Chinese Han population. In addition, the interaction between rs397768 locus SNP and gender is related to the risk of CRC.
