▶Exploring new genetic variants within COL5A1 intron 4‐exon 5 region and TGF‐β family with risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupturesReviewN=9,720Mary‐Jessica N. Laguette et al.(2020)· Journal of Orthopaedic Research
This systematic review analyzed 24 studies examining 31 genes and 62 genetic variants associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR). Key findings show mixed evidence for collagen variants: COL1A1 rs1800012 showed protective association in European ancestry populations (OR=2.8, p=0.040), while COL1A2 rs42524 and rs2621215 conferred increased risk (OR=5.73 and 4.29 respectively). VEGFA polymorphisms rs2010963 and rs699947 showed conflicting associations across studies, and most major variants in IL6, IL1B, MMP genes, and inflammatory markers showed no consistent associations with ACLR across populations, highlighting the need for gender and ancestry-stratified analyses.
▶Genetic Dissection of Acute Anterior Uveitis Reveals Similarities and Differences in Associations Observed With Ankylosing SpondylitisAssociationN=14,050Robinson PC et al.(2015)· Arthritis & Rheumatology
Genetic dissection of acute anterior uveitis (AAU) using high-density Immunochip genotyping in 1,711 AAU cases and 10,000 controls identifies HLA-B27 tag SNP rs116488202 (OR=16.8, P<1×10⁻³⁰⁰) as the strongest association, and three genome-wide significant non-MHC loci (IL23R, chromosome 2p15 intergenic region, and ERAP1) shared with ankylosing spondylitis. Five additional suggestive loci including IL10-IL19, IL18R1-IL1R1, IL6R, KIF21B, and EYS are identified, with shared genetic pathways with inflammatory bowel disease suggesting common etiologic mechanisms.
▶Genetic variation in the TLR and NF‐κB pathways and cervical and vulvar cancer risk: A population‐based case–control studyAssociationN=2,493Clara Bodelon et al.(2014)· International Journal of Cancer
Population-based case-control study of 876 cervical cancer cases, 517 vulvar cancer cases, and 1,100 controls examining genetic variation in TLR and NFκB pathways.

▶Dissociation betweenAPOC3variants, hepatic triglyceride content and insulin resistanceReviewJulia Kozlitina et al.(2011)· Hepatology
Comprehensive review of genetic background in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The PNPLA3 I148M variant (rs738409 C>G) is identified as a major genetic player strongly associated with increased liver fat content, NASH development, fibrosis severity, and HCC risk. The TM6SF2 E167K variant (rs58542926) emerges as another key contributor to NAFLD pathogenesis and disease progression. Multiple additional GWAS-identified variants and candidate genes are reviewed for their roles in NAFLD susceptibility and progression.
▶Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) polymorphisms and risk of inflammatory bowel disease in a Scottish and Danish case–control studyAssociationN=1,074Vibeke Andersen et al.(2011)· Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
A case-control study of 326 cases and 748 controls identified 25 SNPs in genes involved in platelet activation, angiogenesis, and inflammatory response that modify the risk of aspirin-related upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH). Seven SNPs (rs1387180, rs2238631, rs1799964, rs5050, rs689466, rs1799983, rs7756935) were positive modifiers increasing UGIH risk in aspirin users (RERI 1.75-4.95), while nine SNPs (rs2243086, rs1131882, rs4311994, rs10120688, rs4251961, rs3778355, rs1330344, rs5275, rs3779647) were negative modifiers reducing risk (RERI -2.74 to -0.95). Aspirin exposure alone increased UGIH risk approximately 5.82-fold (95% CI: 2.2-10.08).
▶Association of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) promoter polymorphisms with overweight/obesity in a Korean populationAssociationN=331Gyeong-Im Yu et al.(2011)· Inflammation Research
This case-control study examined three TNF-α promoter polymorphisms in 331 Korean subjects (123 controls, 208 overweight/obese). The G-238A (rs361525) G/G genotype was significantly more frequent in obese subjects (94.7% vs 85.4%, P=0.0046, OR=3.05), suggesting the G allele is a risk factor for obesity. The C-857T (rs1799724) C allele was associated with higher HDL levels (P=0.014), suggesting a protective effect against atherosclerosis.
▶Single nucleotide polymorphisms of 8 inflammation‐related genes and their associations with smoking‐related cancersAssociationN=3,715Sam S. Oh et al.(2010)· International Journal of Cancer
This case-control study evaluated 12 SNPs in 8 inflammation-related genes across three studies (Los Angeles, Taixing China, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering) involving 2,049 smoking-related cancer cases and 1,666 controls. IL10 rs1800871 was inversely associated with oropharyngeal cancer (aOR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.50-0.95) and positively associated with lung cancer among never smokers (aOR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.3-5.1). TNF rs1799964 was inversely associated with smoking-related cancer in pooled never smokers (aOR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.17-0.77). After Bayesian correction for multiple comparisons, IL10 rs1800871 and TNF rs1799964 emerged as noteworthy susceptibility markers for smoking-related cancers.
▶A genetic association study in the Gambia using tagging polymorphisms in the major histocompatibility complex class III region implicates a HLA-B associated transcript 2 polymorphism in severe malaria susceptibilityAssociationN=2,162Mahamadou Diakite et al.(2009)· Human Genetics
A case-control association study of 2162 Gambian individuals identified a BAT2 polymorphism (rs1046089) significantly associated with severe malaria (G vs A OR=0.73, P<10⁻⁶ for allelic test; recessive model GG vs GA/AA OR=0.48, P<10⁻⁶). Haplotype analysis confirmed BAT2-associated variants conferred ~40% reduced risk. Secondary findings included AIF1 (rs2259571, OR=0.57, P=0.004) and TNF-238 (rs361525, OR=1.33, P=0.04) associations, though only BAT2 remained significant after Bonferroni correction.
▶Common genetic variants and risk for non‐Hodgkin lymphoma and adult T‐cell lymphoma/leukemia in JamaicaAssociationN=1,400Wang SS et al.(2009)· International Journal of Cancer
This PhD thesis comprises four association studies examining inherited variations in inflammatory cytokine genes and their pathogenetic role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple myeloma (MM), and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). Paper I found that CHI3L1 promoter polymorphisms (rs4950928) were significantly associated with serum YKL-40 concentrations in 238 RA patients (P < 2.0e-16) and 605 controls. Paper IV reported CHI3L1 rs4950928 associated with follicular lymphoma 10-year overall survival (HRCG = 2.04, 95% CI 1.17-3.54). Papers II and III examined gene-gene interactions in MM and B-NHL risk and prognosis.
▶Genetic variation in tumor necrosis factor and lymphotoxin-alpha (TNF–LTA) and breast cancer riskAssociationN=10,765Mia M. Gaudet et al.(2007)· Human Genetics
A large population-based case-control study of TNF-LTA genetic variation in 5,546 breast cancer cases and 5,219 controls (USA and Poland cohorts) found that the variant A allele of rs361525 in the TNF promoter region was associated with modestly increased breast cancer risk (per allele OR=1.18, 95% CI 1.04-1.35, p=0.008). Eight TNF and LTA SNPs were genotyped; haplotype analyses showed the GAG haplotype carrying rs361525 A was associated with elevated risk, while the well-studied TNF-308 variant (rs1800629) showed no association.
About LTA
The encoded protein, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is a cytokine produced by lymphocytes. The protein is highly inducible, secreted, and forms heterotrimers with lymphotoxin-beta which anchor lymphotoxin-alpha to the cell surface. This protein also mediates a large variety of inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral responses, is involved in the formation of secondary lymphoid organs during development and plays a role in apoptosis. Genetic variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to leprosy type 4, myocardial infarction, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and psoriatic arthritis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
