A recent study reported that the c.30T>A (p.Cys10Ter; rs2043211) variant, in the CARD8 (TUCAN) gene, is associated with Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of p.C10X in 3 independent European (IBD) cohorts from Germany, Hungary, and the Netherlands.
We included a European IBD cohort of 921 patients and compared the p.C10X genotype frequency to 832 healthy controls. The 3 study populations analyzed were: (1) Germany [CD, n = 317; ulcerative colitis (UC), n = 180], (2) Hungary (CD, n = 149; UC, n = 119), and (3) the Netherlands (CD, n = 156). Subtyping analysis was performed in respect to NOD2 variants (p.Arg702Trp, p.Gly908Arg, c.3020insC) and to clinical characteristics. Ethnically matched controls were included (German, n = 413; Hungarian, n = 202; Dutch, n = 217).
We observed no significant difference in p.C10X genotype frequency in either patients with CD or patients with UC compared with controls in all 3 cohorts. Conversely to the initial association study, we found a trend toward lower frequencies of the suggestive risk wild type in CD from the Netherlands compared with controls (P = 0.14). We found neither evidence for genetic interactions between p.C10X and NOD2 nor the C10X variant to be associated with a CD or UC phenotype.
Analyzing 3 independent European IBD cohorts, we found no evidence that the C10X variant in CARD8 confers susceptibility for CD.
最近一项研究报告称,CARD8(TUCAN)基因中的c.30T>A(p.Cys10Ter;rs2043211)变异与克罗恩病(CD)相关。本研究的目的是分析来自德国、匈牙利和荷兰的3个独立欧洲炎症性肠病(IBD)队列中p.C10X的频率。
我们纳入了一个由921名患者组成的欧洲IBD队列,并将p.C10X基因型频率与832名健康对照进行比较。分析的3个研究人群分别为:(1)德国[CD,n = 317;溃疡性结肠炎(UC),n = 180],(2)匈牙利(CD,n = 149;UC,n = 119),以及(3)荷兰(CD,n = 156)。针对NOD2变异(p.Arg702Trp、p.Gly908Arg、c.3020insC)和临床特征进行了亚型分析。纳入了种族匹配的对照(德国,n = 413;匈牙利,n = 202;荷兰,n = 217)。
在所有3个队列中,我们观察到CD患者和UC患者的p.C10X基因型频率与对照相比均无显著差异。与最初的关联研究相反,我们发现荷兰CD患者中提示性风险野生型的频率与对照相比有降低趋势(P = 0.14)。我们既未发现p.C10X与NOD2之间存在基因相互作用的证据,也未发现C10X变异与CD或UC表型相关。
通过分析3个独立的欧洲IBD队列,我们没有发现证据表明CARD8中的C10X变异会导致CD易感性。
