An Immunochip study recently identified the association of a number of new genetic loci with Behcet's disease (BD).
To confirm the association between new genetic loci reported in an Immunochip study and BD in a Han Chinese population.
A two-stage association study was carried out in 1238 patients with BD and 1458 healthy controls. Twenty-two candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected for genotyping by iPLEXGold genotyping or TaqMan SNP assays and a meta-analysis was performed for significantly associated markers.
The results showed that four SNPs (/rs9316059, /rs913678, /rs224127 and /rs10094579) were associated with BD in an allelic association test (rs9316059 T allele: p=4.95×10, OR=0.687; rs913678 C allele: p=3.01×10, OR=1.297; rs224127 A allele: p=3.77×10, OR=1.274; rs10094579 A allele: p=6.93×10, OR=1.302). For four SNPs tested by meta-analysis, the association with BD was strengthened and all exceeded genome-wide significance (rs9316059: p=2.96×10; rs913678: p=2.09×10; rs224127: p=5.28×10; rs10094579: p=9.21×10).
Our findings confirmed the association of four loci (, , and ) in Chinese Han patients with BD.
一项免疫芯片研究最近发现了一些新的遗传位点与白塞病(BD)的关联。
在汉族人群中验证免疫芯片研究中报道的新遗传位点与 BD 之间的关联。
对 1238 例 BD 患者和 1458 例健康对照进行了两阶段关联研究。通过 iPLEXGold 基因分型或 TaqMan SNP 测定法选择 22 个候选单核苷酸多态性(SNP)进行基因分型,并对显著相关的标记物进行了荟萃分析。
结果显示,在等位基因关联测试中,4 个 SNP(/rs9316059、/rs913678、/rs224127 和 /rs10094579)与 BD 相关(rs9316059 T 等位基因:p=4.95×10,OR=0.687;rs913678 C 等位基因:p=3.01×10,OR=1.297;rs224127 A 等位基因:p=3.77×10,OR=1.274;rs10094579 A 等位基因:p=6.93×10,OR=1.302)。通过荟萃分析测试的 4 个 SNP,与 BD 的关联得到了加强,且均超过全基因组显著性(rs9316059:p=2.96×10;rs913678:p=2.09×10;rs224127:p=5.28×10;rs10094579:p=9.21×10)。
我们的研究结果证实了中国汉族患者 BD 中四个位点(、、和)的关联。
