Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing two (NOD2/CARD15) gene polymorphisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD).
To describe the allelic frequency of NOD2/CARD15 gene variants among Kuwaiti patients with CD and investigate potential genotype/phenotype associations.
Adult Kuwaiti citizens with an established diagnosis of CD and healthy controls were enrolled from October 2018 to May 2020. Three common NOD2/CARD15 polymorphisms (R702W, G908R, and L1007fs) and P268S and IVS8 polymorphisms were screened by polymerase chain reaction/restriction analysis length polymorphism (PCR/RFLP).
Ninety adult Kuwaiti patients with CD and 210 healthy subjects (as controls) were recruited. P268S, IVS8, G908R, and R702W minor alleles were identified in 38.9%, 21.1%, 12.2%, and 4.4% of CD patients, respectively. NOD2/CARD15 polymorphisms coexisted in 35 healthy controls (16.7%) and 21 CD patients (23.3%). Individuals with either a single or multiple polymorphism were approximately two times more likely to have CD than those with no polymorphism. Patients with multiple polymorphisms had significantly more stricturing and penetrating disease.
NOD2/CARD15 gene polymorphisms were significantly associated with an increased risk of disease and aggressive phenotypes among the Kuwaiti CD population.
核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域 2(NOD2/CARD15)基因多态性与克罗恩病(CD)的发病机制有关。
描述科威特 CD 患者 NOD2/CARD15 基因变异的等位基因频率,并探讨潜在的基因型/表型相关性。
2018 年 10 月至 2020 年 5 月,招募了成年科威特公民,他们被确诊为 CD,并招募了健康对照者。通过聚合酶链反应/限制性分析长度多态性(PCR/RFLP)筛选三种常见的 NOD2/CARD15 多态性(R702W、G908R 和 L1007fs)和 P268S 和 IVS8 多态性。
共招募了 90 名成年科威特 CD 患者和 210 名健康受试者(作为对照)。在 CD 患者中,分别发现了 P268S、IVS8、G908R 和 R702W 等位基因,其频率分别为 38.9%、21.1%、12.2%和 4.4%。NOD2/CARD15 多态性在 35 名健康对照者(16.7%)和 21 名 CD 患者(23.3%)中共同存在。与无多态性者相比,单一或多种多态性者患 CD 的可能性约为两倍。具有多种多态性的患者发生狭窄和穿透性疾病的风险显著增加。
NOD2/CARD15 基因多态性与科威特 CD 人群疾病风险增加和侵袭性表型显著相关。
