METHODS: Polymorphisms R702W, G908R, and 3020insC of NOD2/CARD15 ; rs2241880 A/G of ATG16L1 , and rs11209026 (R381Q) of IL23R gene were assessed in 110 childhood-onset CD, 364 adult-onset CD, and 539 healthy individuals. Analysis of polymorphisms R702W, G908R, and 3020insC of NOD2/CARD15 genotyping was performed by allele specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or by PCR-restriction fragment length polymor-phism analysis. The polymorphisms rs2241880 A/G of the ATG16L1 , and rs11209026 (R381Q) of the IL23R gene in the children’s cohort were genotyped by PCR and melting curve analysis whereas adult group genotyping was performed using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 5.0 (500K). RESULTS: The 3020insC allele in NOD2/CARD15 was significantly higher in childhood than in adult-onset CD (P = 0.0067). Association with at least 1 NOD2/CARD15 variant was specific for ileal disease (with or without co- lonic involvement). Even if the frequency of G allele of the rs2241880 ATG16L1 polymorphism was increased in both paediatric and adult CD patients compared to con- trols (P = 0.017 and P = 0.001, respectively), no difference was observed between the childhood and the adult cohort. The rare Q allele of IL23R rs11209026 polymorphism was underrepresented in both paediatric and adult CD cases (P = 0.0018 and P = 0.04, respectively) and no difference was observed between the childhood and the adult cohort. The presence of the rs2241880 ATG16L1 and rs11209026 IL23R polymorphisms did not influence disease phenotype. CONCLUSION: Polymorphism 3020insC in NOD2/ CARD15 occurs statistically significantly more often in patients with childhood-onset CD than in patients with adult-onset CD. The ATG16L1 and IL23R variants are associated with susceptibility to CD, but not earlyonse展开更多

CD is characterized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, ranging from the mouth to the anus. Although there are gross pathological and histological similarities between CD and Johne＇s dis- ease of cattle, the cause of CD remains controversial. It is vital to understand fully the cause of this disease because it affects approximately 500 000 people in North America and Europe. It ranges from 27 to 48 cases per 100 000 people. There are many theories on the cause of CD ranging from possible association with environmental factors including microorganisms to imbalance in the intestinal normal flora of the pa- tients. Regardless of the environmental trigger, there is strong evidence that a genetic disposition is a major key in acquiring CD. Many studies have proven the link between mutations in the ATG16L, NOD2/CARD15, IBDS, CTLA4, TNFSF15 and IL23R genes, and CD. The purpose of this review is to examine all genetic aspects and theories of CD, including up to date multiple popu- lation studies performed worldwide.展开更多

METHODS Genomic DNA samples of 131 patients (66 males, 65 females, mean age 55.4 ± 15.8 years) with Caucasian origin, diagnosed with UC were investigated. The diagnosis of UC was based on the established clinical, endoscopic, radiological, and histopathological guidelines. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes by routine salting out method. Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism were used to identify the alleles of seven SNPs of IL23 R gene(rs11209026, rs10889677, rs1004819, rs2201841, rs7517847, rs10489629, rs7530511).RESULTS Four out of seven analyzed SNPs had statistically significant influence on the clinical picture of UC. Two SNPs were associated with greater colonic extension(rs2201841 P = 0.0084; rs10489629 P = 0.0405). For two of the SNPs, there was more frequently need for operations (rs2201841 P = 0.0348, OR = 8.0; rs10889677 P = 0.0347, OR = 8.0). The rs2201841 showed to be a risk factor for the development of iron deficiency (P = 0.0388, OR = 6.1837). For patients with the rs10889677, a therapy with azathioprine was more frequently necessary(P = 0.0116, OR = 6.1707). Patients with rs10489629 SNP had a lower risk for weight loss(P = 0.0169, OR = 0.3394). Carriers of the heterozygous variant had a higher risk for an extended disease (P = 0.0284). The rs7517847 showed a protective character leading to mild bowel movements. Three SNPs demonstrated no statistically significant influence on any examined clinical features of UC.CONCLUSION We demonstrated susceptible or protective character of the investigated IL23 R SNPs on the phenotype of UC, confirming the genetic association.展开更多

In the allelic single marker analysis, Leu1007insC was strongly associated with CD (21.4% CD vs 4.7% controls, P=3.687×10-8, OR=5.54, 95% CI:2.85-10.75). Neither the other two NOD2 variants, nor the known variants in IL23R and ATG16L1 were found to be risk factors for CD, UC or IBD. However, our relatively small study population was underpowered to demonstrate such weak to moderate disease associations.CONCLUSION: The results support a strong association between CD susceptibility and the Leu1007insC variant in NOD2 in the Lithuanian study population.展开更多
