ABSTRACT: Background
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe type of psoriasis. Previous studies have reported that metabolic syndrome and its components have been associated with psoriasis.Objective
To investigate the association of metabolic syndrome-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and GPP in Chinese Han population.Materials and methods
One hundred and thirty-six (136) GPP patients and 965 healthy controls were recruited in the study. Approximately, 4 ml peripheral venous blood was collected from each participant. After collection, second-generation sequencing was used to detect genetic polymorphism of 15 SNPs. The plink 1.07 software package was used for statistical analysis.Results
Rs805303 (p = 0.01, OR = 0.70) and rs3177928 (p = 3.18E-07, OR = 2.66) in HLA were significantly different between the two groups. Moreover, rs4506565 (p = 1.41E-03, OR = 2.72) and rs7901695 (p = 9.39E-04, OR = 2.82) in TCF7L2 were significantly associated with GPP in patients without a previous history of PsV. Genotype analysis of rs4506565 and rs7901695 showed that under the recessive model, genotype frequencies of rs4506565 (p = 0.00, OR = 18.52) and rs7901695 (p = 0.00, OR = 18.44) were significantly different between GPP patients and healthy controls.Conclusion
Rs805303 and rs3177928 in HLA may increase the risk of GPP in the Chinese Han population. TCF7L2 may be a risk factor for GPP in patients without a previous history of PsV.
