Association Between HOTAIR rs920778 and H19 rs3741219 Polymorphisms with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' Disease (GD).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) are two autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). The current study aimed to assess possible association between HOTAIR rs920778 and H19 rs3741219 polymorphisms with GD and HT.

Methods

We recruited 248 patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (133 HT patients and 115 GD patients) and 135 age- and sex-matched controls. The PCR-RFLP method was applied for genotyping of HOTAIR rs920778, and H19 rs3741219 polymorphisms.

Results

The HOTAIR rs920778 GA frequency was significantly higher in control compared to HT group. The Overdominant model showed a significant association with the risk of HT. However, no significant association was observed between this polymorphism and HT susceptibility in dominant and recessive models. The H19 rs3741219 GA was more repeated in HT patients compared to control group, but the difference was not significant. There was no association between HOTAIR rs920778 and H19 rs3741219 polymorphisms with GD in all genetic models.

Discussion

Our findings indicated that HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism decreased the risk of HT. Since, this the first study, further studies with different races are required to confirm our results.

Project description:BackgroundThe eye disorder associated with Graves' disease, called Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), greatly reduces the quality of life in affected patients. Expression of the calsequestrin (CASQ1) protein in thyroid tissue may be the trigger for the development of eye muscle damage in patients with GO. We determined the prevalence of rs74123279, rs3747673, and rs2275703 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders, GO, Graves' hyperthyroidism (GH), or Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and control subjects with no personal or family history of autoimmune thyroid disorders. Furthermore, we measured the concentration of the CASQ1 protein in normal and Graves' thyroid tissue, correlating levels with parameters of the eye signs, CASQ1 antibody levels, and the CASQ1 gene polymorphism rs74123279 and rs2275703.MethodsHigh-quality genomic DNA was isolated from fresh blood samples, assayed for identification of rs74123279, rs3747673, and rs2275703 SNPs in CASQ1 gene by MassARRAY SNP analysis using iPLEX technology of SEQUENOM.ResultsDNA samples from 300 patients and 106 control subjects (100 males, 306 females) with GO (n=74), GH (n=130), HT (n=96) and control subjects (n=106) were genotyped for the SNPs rs74123279, rs3747673 (n=405), and rs2275703 (n=407). The SNP rs74123279, rs3747673, and rs2275703 were identified as 1) common homozygous or wild type, 2) heterozygote, and 3) rare homozygous. Minor allele frequency for rs74123279, rs3747763, and rs2275703 were 21%, 40%, and 44%, respectively. Multiple comparisons of genotype frequency for rs74123279, rs3747763, and rs2275703 in the GO, GH, HT, and control groups showed P=0.06, 0.641, and 0.189, respectively. These results were substantiated by multiple comparison of alleles frequency for rs74123279, rs3838216, rs3747763, and rs2275703 in the GO, GH, HT, and control groups showed, P=0.36, 0.008, 0.66, and 0.05, respectively. Pairwise analysis of alleles frequency distribution in patients with GO showed significant probability for rs2275703, P=0.008.ConclusionBased on their evolutionary conservation and their significant prevalence, we suggest that CASQ1 gene SNPs rs74123279, rs3838216, and rs2275703 may be considered as genetic markers for GO.

Project description:ObjectiveAutoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), mainly Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), are common organ-specific autoimmune diseases characterized by circulating antibodies and lymphocyte infiltration. Follicular helper T (Tfh) cell dysregulation is involved in the development of autoimmune pathologies. We aimed to explore the role of intrathyroidal and circulating Tfh cells in patients with GD and HT.MethodsUltrasound-guided thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was conducted in 35 patients with GD, 40 patients with HT, and 22 patients with nonautoimmune thyroid disease (nAITD). Peripheral blood samples were also obtained from 40 patients with GD, 40 patients with HT, and 40 healthy controls. The frequencies of intrathyroidal and circulating Tfh cells from FNA and peripheral blood samples were assessed by flow cytometry. Additionally, the correlations between the frequencies of the Tfh cells and the levels of autoantibodies and hormones or disease duration were analyzed.ResultsThe frequency of intrathyroidal CD4+CXCR5+ICOShigh Tfh cells was higher in HT patients than in GD patients. Significant correlations were identified between the percentages of circulating and intrathyroidal Tfh cells and the serum concentrations of thyroid autoantibodies, especially thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), in AITD. Intrathyroidal CD4+CXCR5+ICOShigh Tfh cells were positively correlated with free triiodothyronine (FT3) in HT patients but negatively correlated with FT3 in GD patients. In addition, HT patients with a longer disease duration had an increased frequency of intrathyroidal CD4+CXCR5+ICOShigh and CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ Tfh cells. In contrast, in the GD patients, a longer disease duration did not affect the frequency of intrathyroidal CD4+CXCR5+ICOShigh but was associated with a lower frequency of CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ Tfh cells.ConclusionsOur data suggest that intrathyroidal Tfh cells might play a role in the pathogenesis of AITD and they are potential immunobiomarkers for AITD.

Project description:BackgroundThree genes have been confirmed as major joint susceptibility genes for endocrine autoimmune disease:human leukocyte antigen class II, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 and protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22. Recent studies showed that a genetic variation within the interferon induced helicase domain 1 (IFIH1) locus (rs1990760 polymorphism) is an additional risk factor in type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease (GD).MethodsThe aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the rs1990760 polymorphism within the IFIH1 gene in German patients with GD (n = 258), Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT, n = 106), Addison's disease (AD, n = 195) and healthy controls (HC, n = 227) as well as in 55 GD families (165 individuals, German) and 100 HT families (300 individuals, Italian). Furthermore, the interaction between rs1990760 polymorphism with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risk haplotype DQ2(DQA*0501-DQB*0201), the risk haplotypes DQ2/DQ8 (DQA*0301-DQB*0302) and the status of thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) in patients and families were analysed.ResultsNo significant differences were found between the allele and genotype frequencies for rs1990760 IFIH1 polymorphism in patients with GD, HT, AD and HC. Also no differences were observed when stratifying the IFIH1 rs1990760 polymorphism for gender, presence or absence of thyroid antibodies (GD:TRAb and HT:TPOAb/TgAb) and HLA risk haplotypes (DQ2:for GD and HT, DQ2/DQ8:for AD). Furthermore the transmission analysis in GD and HT families revealed no differences in alleles transmission for rs1990760 IFIH1 from parents with or without HLA risk haplotype DQ2 to the affected offspring. In contrast, by dividing the HT parents according to the presence or absence of thyroid Ab titers, mothers and fathers both positive for TPOAb/TgAb overtransmitted the allele A of IFIH1 rs1990760 to their HT affected offspring (61.8% vs 38.2%;p = 0.05;corrected p [pc] = 0.1). However, these associations did not remain statistically significant after correction of the p-values.ConclusionIn conclusion, our data suggest, no contribution from IFIH1 rs1990760 polymorphism to the pathogenesis of either Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Addison's disease in our study populations. However, in order to exclude a possible influence of the studied polymorphism in specified subgroups within patients with autoimmune thyroid disease, further investigations in larger populations are needed.
