Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) are common birth defects with a complex etiology. Multiple interacting loci and possible environmental factors influence the risk of NSCL/P. 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 7 candidate genes were tested using an allele-specific primer extension for case-control and case-parent analyses in northeast China in 236 unrelated patients, 185 mothers and 154 fathers, including 128 complete trios, and 400 control individuals. TGFA and IRF6 genes showed a significant association with NSCL/P. In IRF6, statistical evidence of an association between rs2235371 (p = 0.003), rs2013162 (p<0.0001) and NSCL/P was observed in case-control analyses. Family based association tests (FBATs) showed over-transmission of the C allele at the rs2235371 polymorphism (p = 0.007). In TGFA, associations between rs3771494, rs3771523 (G3822A), rs11466285 (T3851C) and NSCL/P were observed in case-control and FBAT analyses. Associations between other genes (BCL3, TGFB3, MTHFR, PVRL1 and SUMO1) and NSCL/P were not detected.
非综合征性唇裂伴或不伴腭裂(NSCL/P)是一种常见的出生缺陷,具有复杂的病因。多个相互作用的基因座和可能的环境因素影响 NSCL/P 的风险。在对中国东北地区的 236 名无亲缘关系的患者、185 名母亲和 154 名父亲(包括 128 个完整的三核苷酸)进行病例对照和病例-父母分析时,使用等位基因特异性引物延伸法检测了 7 个候选基因中的 12 个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。TGFA 和 IRF6 基因与 NSCL/P 有显著关联。在 IRF6 基因中,rs2235371(p=0.003)和 rs2013162(p<0.0001)与 NSCL/P 的关联在病例对照分析中得到了统计学证据。基于家庭的关联测试(FBAT)显示 rs2235371 多态性的 C 等位基因过度传递(p=0.007)。在 TGFA 基因中,rs3771494、rs3771523(G3822A)和 rs11466285(T3851C)与 NSCL/P 的关联在病例对照和 FBAT 分析中均得到观察。在其他基因(BCL3、TGFB3、MTHFR、PVRL1 和 SUMO1)与 NSCL/P 之间未检测到关联。
