ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the distributions of FCGR polymorphisms in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected patients with cryptococcosis,and to investigate the association of FCGR polymorphisms with the susceptibility to cryptococcosis.Methods The distributions of the four functional polymorphisms,including FCGR2A 131H/R,FCGR3A 158F/V,FCGR3B NA1/NA2,and FCGR2B 232I/T were compared between 198 cryptococcosis patients and 190 healthy controls.The polymorphisms distribution patterns were also compared between patients with central nervous system (CNS) infection and those without CNS infection.Genotyping of eight single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FCGR were performed by multiplex SNaPshot technology using DNA extracted from blood samples.The comparison between patients and controls was performed by chi square test or Fisher exact test.Results Compared to healthy controls,the frequency of FCGR2B 232I/I increased (65% vs 53%,x2 =4.27,P=0.039,OR=1.652,95%CI1.02-2.67) and that of FCGR2B 232I/T decreased (27% vs 40%,x2 =5.77,P=0.016.OR=0.542,95%CI0.33-0.90) in patients with cryptococcal meningitis.Among immunocompetent patients,the frequency of FCGR2B 232I/I was also over-presented (69% vs 53%,x2=4.53,P =0.033,OR=1.958,95%CI1.05-3.66) and the FCGR2B 232I/T genotype was also less frequently observed (24% vs 40%,x2=5.14,P=0.023,OR=0.467,95%CI0.24-0.91) compared to healthy controls.There were 117 cases with CNS infection and 81 non-CNS infection cases.The genotype of FCGR2A 131R/Rwas over-presented (19% vs 6%,x2 =6.48,P=0.011,OR=3.52,95%CI1.27-9.73) and the FCGR2B 232I/T genotype was under-presented (27 % vs 46 %,x2 =7.56,P =0.006,OR=0.431,95%CI0.24-0.79) in patients with CNS infection compared with those without CNS infection.Furthermore,the frequency of FCGR2B 232I/I genotypes increased (69% vs47%,x2 =5.47,P=0.019,OR=2.479,95%CI1.15-5.34) and the frequency of FCGR2B 232I/T decreased (24% vs 51%,x2 =8.66,P=0.003,OR=0.307,95%CI0.14-0.68) in immunocompetent patients with CNS infection compared with those without CNS infection.Conclusions FCGR2A 131H/R and FCGR2B 232I/T are associated with the susceptibility to cryptococcal CNS infection,which suggests that FcγRⅡA and FcγRⅡB may contribute to the pathogenesis of cryptococcosis.
