▶Interactions between superoxide dismutase and paraoxonase polymorphic variants in nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in the Brazilian populationAssociationN=1,915Renato Assis Machado et al.(2019)· Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis
Two-stage genetic study examining 28 SNPs in oxidative stress genes (SOD1, SOD2, SOD3, PON1, PON2, PON3) in relation to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/CP) in Brazilian population. Initial transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) on 325 trios identified gene-gene interactions, which were validated in case-control analysis (722 cases, 866 controls). PON1 rs2237583 C allele showed protective effect (OR=0.79, 95% CI 0.67-0.93, p=0.005), and multiple significant PON1-PON2-PON3 gene-gene interactions were detected after Bonferroni correction.
About PON2
This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase gene family, which includes three known members located adjacent to each other on the long arm of chromosome 7. The encoded protein is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, membrane-bound, and may act as a cellular antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Hydrolytic activity against acylhomoserine lactones, important bacterial quorum-sensing mediators, suggests the encoded protein may also play a role in defense responses to pathogenic bacteria. Mutations in this gene may be associated with vascular disease and a number of quantitative phenotypes related to diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
