Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization Domain-Containing Protein 2 Variants in Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

Abstract: The frequent detection of bactDNA in ascites of patients with the p.G908R variant suggests there is a strong association between NOD2 risk variants and BT in SBP patients. In addition, increased serum IL-6 levels and bactDNA in ascitic fluid could be considered surrogate markers for BT in patients with cirrhosis.

“…However, NOD2‐G908, MBL_Yx and MASP2_371 genetic variants were associated with a significantly higher short‐term mortality in patients with an acute bacterial infection. The NOD2‐G908 gene variant has previously been shown to be associated with increased translocation of bacterial DNA fragments in ascitic fluid in patients with culture‐positive SBP . These studies support the functional relevance of this single nucleotide polymorphism.…”

“…Bacterial translocation and activation of the innate immune response play important roles in the development of AD in patients with cirrhosis . Innate pattern recognition receptors such as NOD2 receptors are involved in the recognition and clearance of bacterial pathogens and the presence of genetic alterations in these receptors may cause impaired immune function and increased bacterial translocation . The association between NOD2 genetic variants and bacterial infection and mortality have been subject of previous studies, showing conflicting results.…”

“…There is evidence that variants of the NOD2 gene, and various TLR polymorphisms contribute to BT in patients with Crohn's diseases. Likewise in patients with decompensated cirrhosis an increased translocation of bacterial DNA fragments into ascitic fluid was found in the presence of the NOD2 risk variant p.G908R . Moreover, there was increased transition of pathological BT to culture‐positive SBP in the case of the same NOD2 variant .…”

“…First, in the light of increasing antimicrobial resistance, individualized approaches that direct antimicrobial prophylaxis only to patients with the highest risk are warranted. NOD2 genotype-based prophylaxis is currently investigated as a rationale for primary prophylaxis for SBP 31 but could not be replicated consistently as it may be stronger associated with culture-positive variants of peritonitis 8, 11, 32 . The risk of SBP was the highest in NOD2 wild type patients with the TRAF6 risk haplotype 2, extending the population at risk for genotype-based primary interventions.…”
