Arthritis Susceptibility

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic disorder of the connective tissue of still unknown aetiology and complex autoimmune pathogenesis that primarily affects small joints. HLA alleles provide for 11-37% of the RA heritability, suggesting the substantial role of the non-HLA loci in genetic predisposition to RA. Among non-HLA loci,IL6, IL6RandSTAT4genes attract attention, however, the data concerning their influence on RA risk are somewhat contradictory.Objectives:The aim of the study was to analyze the involvement of four SNPs (STAT4rs7574865,IL6rs1800795,IL6Rrs2228145 and rs4845618) in RA susceptibility.Methods:187 patients diagnosed with RA (mean age 58.2 ± 11.9), and 380 healthy blood donors (mean age 37.18 ± 10.69 years) were included into the study. DNA extraction from peripheral blood samples was performed using the phenol-chloroform method. SNPs were genotyped using the real-time PCR with fluorescent probes. The allele and genotype frequencies were compared using the χ2 test. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using the VassarStats online tool.Results:Utilizing recessive genetic model we found an association between TT genotype ofSTAT4rs7574865 (OR = 2.362; 95%CI [1.0378 – 5.376], p = 0.038) and RA. ForIL6rs1800795, it was found that CC genotype had significantly higher frequency among patients with rheumatoid arthritis as compared to that in controls (OR = 1.52; 95%CI [1.02 – 2.27], p = 0.0456). No associations ofIL6Rrs2228145 and rs4845618 SNPs with risk of RA were found in the total group of patients vs. controls. It was also shown thatIL6rs1800795 CC genotype frequency was significantly higher among the patients with RF-negative status (p = 0.0019).Conclusion:Thus, we provide evidence for association of theSTAT4rs7574865 andIL6rs1800795 variants with risk of RA in the Belarusian population, some features of interplay being revealed between gene polymorphisms analyzed and RA antibody status. Abovementioned SNPs may contribute to RA genetic susceptibility in the Belarusian population.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Background and Aims Genetically controlled self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms constrain selfing and thus have contributed to the evolutionary diversity of flowering plants. In homomorphic gametophytic SI (GSI) and homomorphic sporophytic SI (SSI), genetic control is usually by a single multi-allelic locus S. Both GSI and SSI prevent self pollen tubes reaching the ovary and so are pre-zygotic in action. In contrast, in taxa with late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI), rejection is often post-zygotic, since self-pollen tubes grow to the ovary where fertilization may occur prior to floral abscission. Alternatively, lack of self fruit set could be due to early-acting inbreeding depression (EID). The aim of our study was to investigate mechanisms underlying lack of selfed fruit set in Handroanthus heptaphyllus in order to assess the likelihood of LSI versus EID. Methods We employed four full sib diallels to study the genetic control of LSI in Handroanthus heptaphyllus using a precociously flowering variant. We also used fluorescence microscopy to study the incidence of ovule penetration by pollen tubes in pistils that abscised following pollination or initiated fruits. Key Results All diallels showed reciprocally cross-incompatible full-sibs (RCI), reciprocally cross compatible full-sibs (RCC), and non-reciprocally compatible full-sibs (NRC) in almost equal proportions. There was no significant difference between the incidence of ovule penetrations in abscised pistils following self- and cross-incompatible pollinations, but those in successful cross pollinations were around twofold greater. Conclusions A genetic model postulating a single S locus with four s alleles, one of which, in the maternal parent, is dominant to the other three, will produce RCI, RCC and NRC situations each at 33 %, consistent with our diallel results. We favour this simple genetic control over an early-acting inbreeding depression (EID) explanation since none of our pollinations, successful or unsuccessful, resulted in partial embryo development, as would be expected under a whole genome EID effect.
