▶Genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress‐related genes are associated with outcomes following treatment for aggressive B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphomaAssociationN=909Heather L. Gustafson et al.(2014)· American Journal of Hematology
Genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress-related genes were associated with treatment outcomes in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In discovery (n=337) and validation (n=572) cohorts, rare homozygotes for MPO rs2243828 (HR=1.87, P=0.013) and AKR1C3 rs10508293 (HR=2.09, P=0.0032) were associated with increased risk of progression, while NCF4 rs1883112 rare homozygotes showed protective effects against progression (HR=0.66, P=0.06 discovery; HR=0.66, P=0.05 validation). Meta-analysis confirmed NCF4 association with improved survival outcomes (HR=0.66, P<0.01).
▶NOS2A and the modulating effect of cigarette smoking in Parkinson's diseaseAssociationN=2,245Dana B. Hancock et al.(2006)· Annals of Neurology
This family-based case-control study examined 50 SNPs across three nitric oxide synthase genes (NOS1, NOS2A, NOS3) in 1,065 Parkinson disease cases and 1,180 controls from 695 families. Significant associations with PD were found for 8 NOS1 SNPs (rs3782218, rs11068447, rs7295972, rs2293052, rs12829185, rs1047735, rs3741475, rs2682826; p=0.00083-0.046) and 7 NOS2A SNPs (rs2072324, rs944725, rs12944039, rs2248814, rs2297516, rs1060826, rs2255929; p=0.0000040-0.047) in early-onset sporadic PD families. Gene-environment interactions were detected between NOS1 SNPs (rs12829185, rs1047735, rs2682826) and pesticide exposure (p=0.012-0.034) and between NOS2A SNPs (rs2248814, rs1060826) and cigarette smoking (p=0.013-0.021).
About NOS2
Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
