Objective.Two interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) gene variants were examined for association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.A total of 2300 patients with RA and 1836 controls were recruited from 2 independent RA studies in Sweden. One insertion-deletion polymorphism (CGGGG indel) and one single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs10488631) in the IRF5 gene were genotyped and analyzed within RA subgroups stratified by rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticitrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA).Results.The CGGGG indel was preferentially associated with the RF-negative (OR 1.29, p = 7.9 × 10−5) and ACPA-negative (OR 1.27, p = 7.3 × 10−5) RA subgroups compared to the seropositive counterparts. rs10488631 was exclusively associated within the seronegative RA subgroups (RF-negative: OR 1.24, p = 0.016; ACPA-negative: OR 1.27, p = 4.1 × 10−3).Conclusion.Both the CGGGG indel and rs10488631 are relevant for RA susceptibility, especially for seronegative RA.

Objective.We investigated potential associations between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) polymorphisms in a metaanalysis.Methods.This metaanalysis included 5 case-control studies, which provided a total of 6582 RA cases and 5375 controls. Odds ratios (OR) were employed to evaluate the risk of RA according to the 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) inIRF5(rs729302, rs2004640, rs752637, and rs2280714) and data were analyzed in respect to association between alleles.Results.Among 4 candidate SNP, rs729302, rs2004640, and rs2280714 were statistically significant; both allele C of rs729302 and allele G of rs2004640 within the promoter region ofIRF5were associated with a protective effect [random-effects (RE) OR 0.889, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.803–0.977, p = 0.015 for rs729302; and RE OR 0.905, 95% CI 0.848–0.965, p = 0.002 for rs2004640]. Similar results were also obtained in T allele of rs2280714 in the 3’-untranslated region (RE OR 0.927, 95% CI 0.866–0.992, p = 0.029). There was no evidence of publication bias from funnel-plot asymmetry and Egger’s regression test.Conclusion.Our metaanalysis supported the evidence of the significant role ofIRF5polymorphisms in RA.

Abstract The interferon regulatory factor gene family encodes transcription factors with multiple biological functions, which include reproduction, cell differentiation and immunity. Interferon regulatory factor-5 (IRF-5) gene is involved in immune defence against virus, stress response, activation of type I interferon genes, cell differentiation and growth. This experiment was conducted to identify and characterise single nucleotide polymorphisms in exons 3, 4, 5 and 7 of IRF-5 gene in Nigerian local chickens. Exons 3, 4, 5 and 7 of IRF-5 gene were amplified and sequenced. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in exons 3, 4, 5 and 7 of IRF-5 gene were identified and analysed using Clustal W, DnaSp and SNAP2 software packages. Four SNPs, rs317511101, rs312902332, rs315149141 and rs739389464, were identified in exon 3 of IRF-5 gene in all the three genotypes. Exon 4 of the gene was conserved while three of the SNPs (rs736423928, 170C>T and rs740736761) identified in exon 7 were shared among the three genotypes. Linkage disequilibrium of 1.00 existed between rs317511101 and rs315149141 polymorphisms identified in exon 3 of normal feathered and frizzle feathered chickens. Mutation rs740736761 identified in exon 7 had the highest polymorphism information content obtainable for any biallelic marker. Most of the SNPs identified in exons 3, 5 and 7 were synonymous and singletons which could not be used for association study. The study concluded that only haplotypes in exons 3 and 7 of IRF-5 gene can be used in marker-assisted selection when improving Nigerian local chickens.

We present GenotypeAnalytics (GA), a RESTFul service that makes it possible to mine association rules from Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) datasets using standard web browsers. GA can speed up and simplify the analysis of this massive amount of data, highlighting only the SNPs involved, for example, in the development of the disease or responsible for adverse drug reactions to the drug. In this way, the doctor may use this extracted knowledge for a significant improvement in the quality of the treatments.
