Association of the T allele of an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism in the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor with Crohn's disease: a case-control study

Abstract: Background: Polymorphisms in several genes (NOD2, MDR1, SLC22A4) have been associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease. Identification of the remaining Crohn's susceptibility genes is essential for the development of disease-specific targets for immunotherapy. Using gene expression analysis, we identified a differentially expressed gene on 5q33, the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) gene, and hypothesized that it is a Crohn's susceptibility gene. The CSF1R gene is involved in monocyte to macro… Show more

“…Previous studies con rmed that CSF1R was highly expressed in in ammatory bowel disease, which is consistent with our research results (29,30). Zapata-Velandia et al speculated that CSF1R may be a susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease (31). The latest research shows that patients with in ammatory bowel disease may bene t from CSF1R inhibitors (32).…”

“…Heterozygous mutation in Csf1r has been shown to protect against pathology in a colitis model in mice [ 133 ]. There is no evidence of association with IBD in the more immediate vicinity of CSF1R in the GWA data, but one report based upon direct sequencing in a Acadian American population indicated linkage to an intron 11 SNP [ 134 ]. Whole genome sequence data from 1000 genomes and other sources ( http://www.ensembl.org ), and the recent human exome paper [ 135 ] also reveal the existence of numerous likely loss-of-function alleles, with allele frequencies of 1/1000 or more, within the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of CSF1R .…”

“…50 It maps in an intron of the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R [MIM 164770]) that is involved in monocyte to macrophage differentiation and innate immunity. 51 For CSF1R, some weak association has also been reported with Crohn's disease, 52 another inflammatory gastrointestinal disorder for which molecular mechanisms, comparable to celiac disease, have been implicated. 46 It is relevant to note that if the null allele itself is not associated with disease, but the A or B alleles are, biallelic assumptions will result in either an overestimation or underestimation of the effect, depending on whether the effect is dominant or recessive, respectively (see details and Figure 3).…”
