Association between MPHOSPH6 gene polymorphisms and IgA nephropathy risk in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: Multiple genetic and environmental factors together contribute to the risk of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). MPHOSPH6 play an important role in the recruitment of the exosome to the pre-rRNA. However, to date, little information is found about the association between MPHOSPH6 polymorphisms and the IgAN risk. In this case-control study, we genotyped five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MPHOSPH6 gene in 416 IgAN cases and 495 controls using Sequenom Mass-ARRAY technology and evaluated their association with IgAN using the χ2 and genetic model analysis. In the allelic model analysis, we determined rs1056654 was associated with a 0.774-fold decrease in the risk of IgAN (95%CI= 0.630-0.952; p = 0.015). In the genetic model analysis, we found that the "C/C" genotyp
