ABSTRACT
Background:
Perioperative anaphylaxis (POA) can lead to severe consequences. Identifying clinical risk factors and genetic loci associated with POA through pre-prescription screening may help reduce its incidence.Methods:
Using univariate regression and covariate-adjusted multivariate regression, we retrospectively analyzed the association between clinical characteristics and POA in 72 POA patients and 72 non-POA individuals. The discovery study of whole-exome association relied on whole-exome sequencing of 73 POA cases and 1339 healthy individuals. A replication study involving an independent set of 16 POA cases and 1339 healthy individuals confirmed this association. The accurate typing of human leucocyte antigen through exome sequencing (ATHLATES) algorithm and the whole-exome sequencing data were used for genotyping the human leucocyte antigen G (HLA-G) of 73 POA patients. The HLA-G of 16 POA cases and 122 non-POA patients were genotyped through Sanger sequencing. We used Fisher's exact probability method to compare the allele and carrier frequencies between POA patients and healthy individuals or non-POA patients. A Pc (P/Bonferroni correction coefficient) < 0.05 represents statistical significance.Results:
Regression analysis identified female sex, an unconfirmed food allergy label, and a history of prior surgery as clinical variables associated with POA. The whole-exome association discovery study identified a strong signal in the major histocompatibility complex region on chromosome 6, with the rs1130356 being the most significant locus (P = 1.5E-10, OR = 3.4, 95% CI = 2.4-4.9). The replication study verified the association between the rs1130356-T allele and POA cases (P = 1.0E-6, OR = 6.3, 95% CI = 3.1-12.7). Compared with non-POA patients, HLA-G∗0101 (Pc = 2.4E-4, OR = 2.4, 95% CI = 1.6-3.6) was significantly enriched, while HLA-G∗0104 (Pc = 1.2E-6, OR = 0.3, 95% CI = 0.2-0.5) was lessened in POA patients.Conclusion:
Our study suggested an association between POA and the risk factors of female sex, an unconfirmed food allergy label, and prior surgery. HLA-G, located in the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region, may act as a surrogate genetic marker for POA. This suggests a causal relationship between this specific genomic region and POA. Our findings shed light on the contribution of human exome genetic variants to the susceptibility to POA.
