Project description:To identify susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis, we undertook a genome-wide association study in 2,053 unrelated ankylosing spondylitis cases among people of European descent and 5,140 ethnically matched controls, with replication in an independent cohort of 898 ankylosing spondylitis cases and 1,518 controls. Cases were genotyped with Illumina HumHap370 genotyping chips. In addition to strong association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC; P < 10(-800)), we found association with SNPs in two gene deserts at 2p15 (rs10865331; combined P = 1.9 x 10(-19)) and 21q22 (rs2242944; P = 8.3 x 10(-20)), as well as in the genes ANTXR2 (rs4333130; P = 9.3 x 10(-8)) and IL1R2 (rs2310173; P = 4.8 x 10(-7)). We also replicated previously reported associations at IL23R (rs11209026; P = 9.1 x 10(-14)) and ERAP1 (rs27434; P = 5.3 x 10(-12)). This study reports four genetic loci associated with ankylosing spondylitis risk and identifies a major role for the interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-1 cytokine pathways in disease susceptibility.

Project description:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory arthritis predominantly affecting the axial skeleton. Susceptibility to the disease is thought to be oligogenic. To identify the genes involved, we have performed a genomewide scan in 185 families containing 255 affected sibling pairs. Two-point and multipoint nonparametric linkage analysis was performed. Regions were identified showing "suggestive" or stronger linkage with the disease on chromosomes 1p, 2q, 6p, 9q, 10q, 16q, and 19q. The MHC locus was identified as encoding the greatest component of susceptibility, with an overall LOD score of 15.6. The strongest non-MHC linkage lies on chromosome 16q (overall LOD score 4.7). These results strongly support the presence of non-MHC genetic-susceptibility factors in AS and point to their likely locations.

Project description:This study was conducted to clarify the associations of tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) and TNFAIP3-interacting protein 1 (TNIP1) genetic polymorphisms with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNFAIP3 gene and four in TNIP1 gene were genotyped in 667 AS patients and 667 matched healthy controls. Genotypes and haplotype analysis were conducted by using SPSS 23.0 and Haploview 4.2 software. The T allele and CT genotype in TNFAIP3 rs10499194 were significantly associated with a reduced AS risk (T allele vs. C allele, OR = 0.619, 95% CI = 0.430-0.889, P = 0.009; CT vs. CC, OR = 0.603, 95% CI = 0.416-0.875, P = 0.007). However, no association remained significant after Bonferroni correction. The rs13207033A- rs10499194T haplotype of TNFAIP3 conferred a protective effect on AS susceptibility. Stratification analyses suggested that rs10499194 polymorphism decreased the risk of AS in the male subgroup, subgroup aged ≥ 29, HLA-B27 positive subgroup as well as the subgroups of BASFI < 4 and BASDAI < 4 (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the functional annotation suggested a potential function of rs10499194 mutation. Our results demonstrated that TNFAIP3 rs10499194 polymorphism may be associated with a reduced risk of AS.

Project description:Genetics play a key role in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed that rs4552569 (on 5q14.3) and rs17095830 (on 12q12) were associated with the risk of AS in Han Chinese, which was not replicated in other two studies. In the current study, rs4552569 and rs17095830 were genotyped in 735 Han Chinese AS patients and 1204 healthy controls using high resolution melting analysis (HRMA). We compared the distributions of genotypes and alleles between AS cases and healthy controls. Rs30187 and rs10865331, which were reported to be associated with AS susceptibility in various populations, were also genotyped and analyzed as positive controls. The results showed that no association between rs4552569/rs17095830 polymorphisms and AS susceptibility was found. On the other hand, an association between rs17095830 and one of AS complication (inflammatory bowel disease) was observed (allelic P value=0.0180; odds ratio[OR]=1.739; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.146-2.639).

Project description:BackgroundAnkylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoinflammatory Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) which is characterized by sacroiliitis, which progresses to the axial skeleton. It seems that non-Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) and also HLA-B27 are associated with the susceptibility and pathogenesis of the disease. The recent Ge-nome-Wide Association Studies (GWASs) have reported intergenic rs6759298 to be associated with AS etiology. The aim of this study was investigation of the rs6759298 polymorphism in Iranian AS patients. In addition, probable correlations with clinical indices and manifestations were considered.MethodsThis study included 403 patients with AS. The control group consisted of 506 healthy individuals who were matched for sex, age, and ethnicity with AS group. Genotyping of rs6759298 was determined using the Amplification-Refractory Mutation System-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS-PCR).ResultsThe GG genotype and G allele were found to be significantly more prevalent in the patient group in comparison to the control group [(p=2×10-6 and 7.44×10-9; OR (95% CI) =2.16 (1.56-2.98) and 1.73 (1.43-2.08)], respectively.ConclusionNo associations were found between patients with three genotypes and any disease manifestations or clinical indices. This investigation confirmed a highly significant association of rs6759298 with disease susceptibility, with no effect on disease progress or clinical presentations. Since rs6759298 belongs to the 2p15 gene desert, further studies would elucidate the exact role of this polymorphism in the pathogenesis of AS.

Project description:A strong association between ERAP1 and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) was recently identified by the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium and the Australo-Anglo-American Spondylitis Consortium (WTCCC-TASC) study. ERAP1 is highly polymorphic with strong linkage disequilibrium evident across the gene. We therefore conducted a series of experiments to try to identify the primary genetic association(s) with ERAP1. We replicated the original associations in an independent set of 730 patients and 1021 controls, resequenced ERAP1 to define the full extent of coding polymorphisms and tested all variants in additional association studies. The genetic association with ERAP1 was independently confirmed; the strongest association was with rs30187 in the replication set (P = 3.4 x 10(-3)). When the data were combined with the original WTCCC-TASC study the strongest association was with rs27044 (P = 1.1 x 10(-9)). We identified 33 sequence polymorphisms in ERAP1, including three novel and eight known non-synonymous polymorphisms. We report several new associations between AS and polymorphisms distributed across ERAP1 from the extended case-control study, the most significant of which was with rs27434 (P = 4.7 x 10(-7)). Regression analysis failed to identify a primary association clearly; we therefore used data from HapMap to impute genotypes for an additional 205 non-coding SNPs located within and adjacent to ERAP1. A number of highly significant associations (P < 5 x 10(-9)) were identified in regulatory sequences which are good candidates for causing susceptibility to AS, possibly by regulating ERAP1 expression.

Project description:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of axial skeleton and has strong genetic susceptibility. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found playing an important role in the development of AS. This study intends to explore whether the susceptibility to AS is associated with rs2171513 C>T, rs1077667 G>A in LIGHT (lymphotoxin, expressed on T lymphocytes) and rs12609318 A>G in B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) in a Chinese Han population. We studied a total of 497 AS patients and 387 healthy controls in the current research. Clinical characteristics were recorded when they were recruited. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and high-resolution melting methods (HRM). Statistically significant difference was found in both co-dominant model (GG vs. GA vs. AA) (p = 4.00E-06) and alleles (p = 4.59E-08) of rs1077667 between patients and controls. There was also a significant difference in alleles of rs2171513 (p = 0.037) between patients and controls. We found rs1077667 in LIGHT and rs2171513 in BTLA with susceptibility to AS, while 12609318 in LIGHT associate with susceptibility to AS. Our results showed that LIGHT might be involved in pathogenesis of AS.

Project description:AIM: To investigate the population pharmacokinetics of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor-Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR-Fc) administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection in healthy Chinese volunteers and in Chinese patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: Thirty-two healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to receive a single SC injection of 12.5, 25, 37.5, or 50 mg of rhTNFR-Fc. Twenty male patients with moderate AS were randomly assigned to receive seven consecutive SC injections of rhTNFR-Fc at either 25 mg twice a week (BIW) or 50 mg once a week (QW). Population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was applied to obtain PK parameters of rhTNFR-Fc by the NONMEM method. RESULTS: The data were best described by a one-compartment model with lag time. We found that gender had a significant effect on the apparent clearance (CL/F), with the male CL/F ratio being only 0.665 times the female ratio; the absorption coefficient (F) of multiple dosages of rhTNFR-Fc was only 0.674 times that of a single dosage. The outcome parameters were CL/F (female: 0.168 L/h, male: 0.110 L/h), the apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F: 15.5 L), the absorption rate constant (Ka) (single dosage: 0.0605 h⁻¹, multiple dosage: 0.0408 h⁻¹), and the lag time (T(lag): 1.03 h). The inter-individual variability in the CL/F, Vd/F, Ka, and T(lag) were 33.3%, 42.7%, 55.6%, and 81.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Chinese females have a higher CL/F than Chinese males, and multiple dosings can significantly decrease the absorption of rhTNFR-Fc (SC). The population PK parameters of rhTNFR-Fc in healthy Chinese volunteers and patients with AS were similar to those reported for subjects in published American studies.
