Association analysis of PTPN22, CTLA4 and IFIH1 genes with type 1 diabetes in Colombian families在哥伦比亚家族中进行的PTPN22、CTLA4以及IFIH1基因与1型糖尿病的相关性分析

Background Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non‐receptor type 22 (lymphoid) (PTPN22), cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte‐associated protein 4 (CTLA4), and interferon induced with helicase C domain 1 (IFIH1) are among the confirmed type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility genes in several populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of PTPN22, CTLA4, and IFIH1 gene variants in the development of T1D in a Colombian population. Methods Associations of PTPN22, CTLA4, and IFIH1 variants with T1D were investigated in a sample of 197 nuclear families, including 205 affected children, in the Colombian population. Three to four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed per gene: rs2476600, rs2476601, rs1217418, and rs2488457 for PTPN22; rs1990760, rs3747517, and rs10930046 for IFIH1; and rs231775, rs3087243, and rs231779 for CTLA4. A transmission disequilibrium test was performed for the global sample, in addition to stratified analysis considering autoimmunity, age at onset, and parent of origin. Haplotypes per gene were also analyzed. Results There was no significant transmission distortion for CTLA4. Conversely, SNPs rs10930046 (IFIH1) and rs2476601 (PTPN222) exhibited significant transmission distortion of the C and T alleles, respectively, from parents to affected children (odds ratio [OR] 0.57 and 1.83, respectively). In addition, decreased transmission of the C allele for rs10930046 occurred preferentially from mothers. Stratification analysis revealed that this association was maintained in individuals who were positive for autoantibodies and in those with an age of diagnosis
