Exploring new genetic variants within COL5A1 intron 4‐exon 5 region and TGF‐β family with risk of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures
ReviewN=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.

Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 I148M affects liver steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
ReviewMauro Viganò et al.(2013)· Hepatology

This comprehensive review examines the genetic background of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), focusing on variants identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and candidate gene studies. The most significant GWAS-identified variants are PNPLA3 rs738409 (I148M), which strongly associates with increased liver steatosis, fibrosis severity, and HCC risk (12-fold increased risk for homozygous carriers), and TM6SF2 rs58542926 (E167K), which increases NASH progression but reduces cardiovascular risk. The review also discusses numerous candidate genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism and liver injury mechanisms.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of 8 inflammation‐related genes and their associations with smoking‐related cancers
AssociationN=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.

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]
