▶Identification of miRSNPs associated with the risk of multiple myelomaAssociationN=4,726Angelica Macauda et al.(2017)· International Journal of Cancer
A genome-wide association study investigating miRNA-binding site SNPs (miRSNPs) in multiple myeloma susceptibility. Among 2,894 MM cases and 1,832 controls from the IMMEnSE consortium, two SNPs showed initial association (rs286595 in MRPL22, rs1419881 in TCF19). Meta-analysis with published GWAS data revealed significant associations for rs13409 (POU5F1, OR=0.92), rs1049623 (DDR1, OR=0.92), rs1049633 (DDR1, OR=0.87), and rs1419881 (TCF19, OR=0.91), all showing decreased MM risk.
About SMPD1
The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
