Association analysis of ILVBL gene polymorphisms with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease in asthma

Abstract

BackgroundWe previously reported that the ILVBL gene on chromosome 19p13.1 was associated with the risk for aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and the percent decline of forced expired volume in one second (FEV1) after an oral aspirin challenge test. In this study, we confirmed the association between polymorphisms and haplotypes of the ILVBL gene and the risk for AERD and its phenotype.MethodsWe recruited 141 AERD and 995 aspirin-tolerant asthmatic (ATA) subjects. All study subjects underwent an oral aspirin challenge (OAC). Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequencies above 0.05, which were present in the region from 2 kb upstream to 0.5 kb downstream of ILVBL in Asian populations, were selected and genotyped.ResultsIn an allelic association analysis, seven of nine SNPs were significantly associated with the risk for AERD after correction for multiple comparisons. In a codominant model, the five SNPs making up block2 (rs2240299, rs7507755, rs1468198, rs2074261, and rs13301) showed significant associations with the risk for AERD (corrected P = 0.001–0.004, OR = 0.59–0.64). Rs1468198 was also significantly associated with the percent decline in FEV1 in OAC tests after correction for multiple comparisons in the codominant model (corrected P = 0.033), but the other four SNPs in hapblock2 were not.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between SNPs on ILVBL and AERD. SNPs on ILVBL could be promising genetic markers of this condition.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12890-017-0556-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

IL10 rs1800872 Is Associated with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Exacerbated Respiratory Disease in Mexican-Mestizo Patients

“…N-ERD is a very low prevalence asthma phenotype [2], and this phenomenon conditioned our sample size, being the reason for using a sample at convenience trying to adjust to other reports previously published (120 in the first stage and 100 in the second), with a range of 95-188 [12,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Nonetheless, we had power of 79.7 with the main genetic finding.…”

Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry quantitative proteomic analysis reveals that skin aging-related proteins differ between men and women

“…The G/A polymorphism at locus 45395619 of the second intron of the TOMM40 gene is associated with longevity (Wang et al, 2020). ILVBL is related to "amino acid transport and metabolism" and may be involved in the metabolism of branched amino acids or pyruvate (Chang et al, 2017) and participate in the degradation of fatty acids (Kitamura et al, 2017). EMAL1 regulates the assembly and organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton and may play a role in regulating the direction of the mitotic spindle and the direction of the cell division plane.…”

Complex roles of the old drug aspirin in cancer chemoprevention and therapy

“…Mechanistically, the development of aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease involves aberrated eicosanoid metabolisms and activated eosinophils, mast cells, and platelets . In addition, polymorphisms in ILVBL gene, dipeptidyl peptidase 10 (rs17048175), and TNF (rs1800629) are risk factors for aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease . Furthermore, epigenetic factors such as DNA methylation may be involved in the development of aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease .…”
