▶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).
About PLA2G7
The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
