RESUMO

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that results in a chronic systemic inflammation. A few genetic epidemiologic studies found a potential association between genetic polymorphisms C677T (rs1801133) and A1298C (rs1801131) of methylenetatrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and C3435T (rs1045642) of ATP-Binding cassette (ABCB1) gene and the increased risk for RA. The aim of this case-control study was to determine the relationship between these polymorphisms and RA susceptibility in West Algerian population. The dataset of the current study is composed of 110 RA patients and 101 healthy controls. All samples were genotyped for theses polymorphisms by TaqMan® allelic discrimination assay. Data were compared between cases and controls by the calculation of the odds ratio (OR) with a confidence interval at 95%. After age and RA erosion-stratified analyzes, no differences in genotypes or alleles frequencies distribution were found for MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) and ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642) polymorphisms between RA cases and controls. However, the MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism presented a significant distribution in RA with age ≥ 40 (Genotypic data: p=0.007, OR=13.53[1.44-63.31], Allelic data: p=0.001, OR=2.39[1.39-4.1]), and in RA erosive form (Genotypic data: p=0.002, OR=6.92[1.68-30.23], Allelic data: p=0.0001, OR=2.43[1.54-3.85]).These results were confirmed after the Bonferroni correction. In this study we have showed, for the first time in the West Algerian population, that the MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

RESUMO

AIM: The aim of the present study was to replicate the association of five risk gene polymorphisms (PTPN22-rs2476601, STAT4-rs7574865, 6q23-rs6927172, IRF5-rs2004640 and TRAF1/C5-rs10818488) with RA in a specific population of the Western Algeria. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group comprised 110 patients with RA and 197 ethnically matched healthy control subjects. All polymorphisms were genotyped using predesigned TaqMan® assays. Allele and genotype frequencies in patients and control subjects were compared by chi-square test and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Correction for multiple testing was carried out using the Bonferroni adjustment. RESULTS: Statistically significant associations with RA were detected. The strongest signal was obtained for PTPN22-rs2476601 with an allelic Pvalue 3.32 x 10(-11) (OR = 9.83, 95% CI [4.28 - 22.56]). A second significant association was obtained with STAT4-rs7574865 (allelic Pvalue = 4 x 10(-3); OR = 1.75, 95% CI [1.16 - 2.63]). The third SNP, 6q23-rs6927172, showed a significant result of association with RA, but missed our criteria for significance at allelic level after Bonferroni's correction (allelic Pvalue = 0.027; OR = 0.64, 95% CI [0.42 - 0.97]). Finally, IRF5-rs2004640 and TRAF1/C5-rs10818488 showed a significant association only at genotypic level (Pvalues: 3 x 10(-4) and 2.9 x 10(-3) respectively) but did not reach statistical significance when comparing allele frequencies (Pvalues: 0.96 and 0.21 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: From this initial study, we can conclude that PTPN22-rs2476601 and STAT4-rs7574865 polymorphisms are clearly associated with the risk of RA in the Western Algerian population.
