Polymorphisms of the promoter and exon 3 of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in Euro‐ and Afro‐Brazilians

Abstract: The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE or AGER), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is involved in pathologies such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. Over 50 SNPs were reported for RAGE, among which were the promoter region polymorphisms -429T>C (rs1800625), -374T>A (rs1800624) and a 63-bp deletion (-407 to -345 bp), all related to increased RAGE expression. Additionally, in the exon 3, a putative site of binding ligands, the missense variation G82S (rs2070600) was associated with skin … Show more

“…[9,13,14] More than 50 polymorphisms have been identified in the region of the RAGE gene. [15] Of these, the RAGE Gly82Ser polymorphism (rs2070600), representing a glycine (G) to serine (S) substitution, is of interest because of its localization in the N-linked glycation site (position 82), which could influence AGE–RAGE interaction. [16] Some studies in humans and animals have yielded conflicting results concerning the potential role of the RAGE Gly82Ser polymorphism in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.…”

“…Moreover, it cannot be totally ruled out that the evolutionary history of linkage disequilibrium patterns will vary significantly in different ethnic populations. For example, the degrees of linkage disequilibrium between rs1800625 and rs1800624 were differentiated between Euro- and Afro-Brazilians [16] and Han Chinese in this study. Further in this study all examined polymorphisms respected the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both patients and controls, lowering the likelihood of being biased by faulty genotyping or population stratification.…”

“…No significance was reached for the other two polymorphisms under study. Moreover, considering the absolute linkage disequilibrium between rs1800625 and rs1800624 reported in Euro- and Afro-Brazilians [16], the relation of these two polymorphisms was checked in all individuals, and the linkage disequilibrium was only moderate (D' = 0.67), indicating the potential existence of genetic heterogeneity across ethnicities.…”
