Objective. To analyze associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some genes located on the X chromosome and risks for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Yakut males with chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV). Patients and methods. We examined 140 Yakut males with chronic HCV in the stage of liver cirrhosis formation. In 41 of them, chronic hepatitis was complicated by HCC. All patients were tested for SNPs in the genes located on the X chromosome, including TLR7 (rs179008); TLR7 (rs179009); TLR8 (rs3764879); TLR8 (rs3764880); IRAK1 (rs3027898); MECP2 (rs1734791); TAB3 (rs1000129516); ELK1 (rs1000619237); GPC3 (rs2267531). Results. We found no significant differences in the frequencies of specific alleles of genes involved in TLR7 signaling between patients with chronic HCV and patients with HCC. However, there were significant differences in the distribution of variable sites in the rs2267531 locus of the GPC3 gene. The GPC3 gene encodes glypican-3 known as a regulator of cell proliferation and a highly specific HCC tumor marker. GPC3 mutations are inherited as an X-linked recessive trait and only males manifest this condition. The number of C-allele carriers among HCC patients was 1.5 higher than that among HCV patients without HCC. We found that chronic HCV patients carrying the C-allele are 2.7 times more likely to develop HCC than G-allele carriers (p = 0.0095). Conclusion. We found a SNP in the GPC3 gene, which C-allele was associated with an increased risk of HCC in Yakut males with chronic HCV. This genetic marker can be used for personalized prognosis of the disease course and as a predictor of HCC development in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract Several factors are associated with the progression of chronic hepatitis C: comorbidities, lifestyle, and pathogenic factors, including immune response, apoptosis and heredity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 genes are more widely studied genetic risk factors, while CXCL9–11 chemokines produced by hepatocytes in the process of infection are less well studied. Our aim was to evaluate the influence of CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921 and CXCL11 rs4619915 in liver fibrosis when analysed together with PNPLA3 rs738409 and TM6SF2 rs58542926. The study included 219 patients with chronic hepatitis C. SNP genotyping was performed by real-time PCR. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to detect the association between SNPs and advanced fibrosis in a recessive genetic model. All SNPs had a minimum allele frequency > 5%, and CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921 and CXCL11 rs4619915 were in high linkage disequilibrium (D’ ≥0.84). In the multivariate analysis, we observed that male gender (p = 0.000), older age (p = 0.025), moderate to intense inflammatory activity (p = 0.002), moderate to accentuated hepatic steatosis (p = 0.026) and the CT genotype of the TM6SF2 rs58542926 SNP (p = 0.014) presented significant associations with advanced fibrosis. Overall, the CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921, CXCL11 rs4619915 and PNPLA3 rs738409 SNPs did not influence liver fibrosis among patients with chronic hepatitis C.
