To explore the association between the Arg(972) insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 polymorphism (rs1801278) and the risk and disease activity/severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
We genotyped the Arg(972) IRS-1 polymorphism in 871 pairs of age-, sex-, body mass index-, residence area- and current smoking status-matched RA patients and controls. We assessed RA severity using the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28).
The AA (homozygous Arg(972) IRS-1) and GA (heterozygous Arg(972) IRS-1) genotypes were significantly associated with high risk of RA with or without adjustment for comorbidities (P < 0.001). The A allele was significantly associated with high risk of RA (P < 0.001). The AA genotype was significantly associated with high/severe RA activity (P < 0.001), while the GG genotype (wild type IRS-1) had protective effects.
The Arg(972) IRS-1 polymorphism is associated with increased risk and disease activity/severity of RA, and therefore may be a potential prognostic factor for RA. This study adds novel insights into the pathogenesis of RA.
探讨精氨酸(972)胰岛素受体底物(IRS)-1基因多态性(rs1801278)与类风湿关节炎(RA)的风险及疾病活动度/严重程度之间的关联。
我们对871对年龄、性别、体重指数、居住地区和当前吸烟状况相匹配的RA患者及对照进行了精氨酸(972)IRS-1基因分型。我们使用28个关节疾病活动评分(DAS28)评估RA的严重程度。
无论是否对合并症进行校正,AA(纯合子精氨酸(972)IRS-1)和GA(杂合子精氨酸(972)IRS-1)基因型均与RA的高风险显著相关(P < 0.001)。A等位基因与RA的高风险显著相关(P < 0.001)。AA基因型与高/重度RA活动显著相关(P < 0.001),而GG基因型(野生型IRS-1)具有保护作用。
精氨酸(972)IRS-1基因多态性与RA风险增加及疾病活动度/严重程度相关,因此可能是RA的一个潜在预后因素。本研究为RA的发病机制增添了新的见解。
