Validation of a genome-wide association study implied that SHTIN1 may involve in the pathogenesis of NSCL/P in Chinese population

چکیده
Orofacial clefts are among the most common birth defects in humans worldwide. A large-scale, genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the Chinese population recently identified several genetic risk variants for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). We selected 16 significant SNPs from the GWAS I stage (P < 1.00E-5) that had not been replicated to validate their association with NSCL/P in 1931 NSCL/P cases and 2258 controls. Ultimately, we identified a NSCL/P susceptibility loci (rs17095681 at 10q25.3, intron of SHTN1 and 27.2 kb downstream of VAX1, Pmeta = 3.80E-9, OR = 0.64) in Chinese Han and Hui populations. This locus was not high LD with the reported loci in 10q25.3. It was a newly identified independent locus in 10q25.3 associated with NSCL/P. These results imply that SHTIN1 may involve in the pathogenesis of NSCL/P advance our understanding of the genetic susceptibility to NSCL/P.

Polymorphic variants in VAX1 and the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in a population from northern China
BACKGROUND Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is one of the most common craniofacial birth defects, and the etiology of NSCL/P involves both genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified a novel susceptibility locus of ventral anterior homeobox 1 (VAX1) in patients with NSCL/P. However, the association of single nucleotide polymorph...
متن کاملThe Association between Folate Pathway Genes and Cleft Lip With or Without Cleft Palate in a Chinese Population.
NSCL/P is a common congenital defect and gene-environmental factors involve in this disorder. Periconceptional intake of folate may reduce the risk of NSCL/P. The present study investigated three SNPs (rs1801198, rs955516, and rs3733890) in three folate pathway genes, including TCN2, MTR, and BHMT among 481 patients and 558 healthy subjects. Rs955516 showed allelic association with NSCL/P. More...

Background The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is thought to be involved in the development of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). However, conflicting results have been obtained when evaluating the association between maternal MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P. In light of this gap, a meta-analysis of all eligible case-control stu...
متن کاملUnveiling the genetic loci for a panicle developmental trait using genome-wide association study in rice
Panicle size has a high correlation with grain yield in rice. There is a bottleneck to identify the additional quantitative trait loci (QTL) for panicle size due to the conventional traits used for QTL mapping. To identify more genetic loci for panicle size, a panicle developmental trait (LNTB, the length from panicle neck-knot to the first primary branch in the rachis) related to panicle size ...

BACKGROUND Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) is the most common orofacial birth defect with an aetiology involving both genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genomic susceptibility regions for nsCL/P. In the present study, the three well established single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified by GWAS (r...
