The association between matrix metalloprotease-9 gene polymorphisms and primary angle-closure glaucoma in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To examine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) gene and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in a Chinese Han population.

Methods

DNA samples were extracted from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of 214 PACG patients and 224 healthy controls. Genotyping of rs3918249, rs3918254, rs17577 and rs3787268 in MMP-9 was performed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and the direct sequencing technique. The association between these genetic polymorphisms and risk of PACG was estimated by χ (2) test.

Results

The distributions of rs3918249, rs3918254, rs17577 and rs3787268 genotypes among cases and healthy controls were compatible with that from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE, P>0.05).The increased frequency of CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 were observed in PACG patients compared to healthy controls [P=0.006, Pcorrected (Pcorr)=0.048]. The haplotype analysis showed that the CCGG haplotype was nominal associated with PACG (P=0.015), however, the significant was lost when the Bonferroni correction was used (Pcorr=0.105).

Conclusion

Our results revealed that rs3918254 in MMP-9 may be a susceptible locus to PACG in China, people with the CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 are more susceptible to PACG. The susceptibility to PACG in Chinese Han patients may be not influenced by SNPs rs3918249, rs3787268 and rs17577 in MMP-9.

Project description:PurposePLEKHA7 and COL11A1 were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate the possible association of these two genes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and disease severity.MethodA total of 51 PACG cases and 51 normal controls were recruited. Twelve SNPs in the PLEKHA7 (rs216489, rs1027617, rs366590, rs11024060, rs6486330, rs11024097, and rs11024102) and COL11A1 (rs1676484, rs3753841, rs12138977, rs2126642, and rs2622848) genes were genotyped by direct Sanger sequencing. Distributions of allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in cases and controls, as well as in mild, moderate, and severe subgroups, were compared based on mean defect (MD ≤ 6.00 dB, 6 dB < MD ≤ 12 dB, and MD > 12 dB were considered mild, moderate, and severe, respectively). Independent Student's t-tests and chi-square tests were used to compare characteristics of PACG cases and controls. Chi-square tests were used to compare the distribution of allele frequencies in cases and controls and in MD-based subgroups with various degrees of glaucoma severity. Binary logistic regression was used to compare the distribution of genotype frequencies and calculate odds ratios (OR) with confidence intervals (CI).ResultThree of the 12 SNPs in COL11A1, rs1676486 (P=0.026, OR = 2.089, 95% CI = 1.092-3.996), rs3753841 (P=0.036, OR = 1.886, 95% CI = 1.038-3.426), and rs12138977 (P=0.024, OR = 2.133, 95% CI = 1.104-4.123) were found to have a significant association with PACG. Furthermore, in the subgroup analysis, rs1676486 (P=0.018, OR = 2.416, 95% CI = 1.284-4.544; P=0.011, OR = 2.119, 95% CI = 1.204-3.729), rs12138977 (P=0.009, OR = 2.158, 95% CI = 1.287-3.618; P=0.006, OR = 1.962, 95% CI = 1.239-3.106), and rs3753841 (P=0.007, OR = 2.550, 95% CI = 1.344-4.839) showed statistically significant differences between moderate/severe groups and controls.ConclusionOur data suggested that COL11A1 rs1676484, rs3753841, and rs12138977 polymorphisms may be of value for further study as potential gene-dependent risk factors for developing PACG. Moreover, COL11A1 rs1676484 and rs12138977 polymorphisms might be associated with PACG disease severity.
