چکیده

Canine diabetes mellitus (DM) shares many similarities with human type 1 diabetes (T1D). It is a complex genetic disorder, which shows marked differences in breed susceptibility, with Samoyed dogs being highly susceptible, whereas the Boxer breed is relatively resistant. A number of immune response genes, which have been associated with human T1D, have also been implicated in determining susceptibility to canine DM, suggesting an immune-mediated component to the disease pathogenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CTLA4 gene have consistently and reproducibly been associated with human T1D and other autoimmune diseases but the canine CTLA4 gene has not previously been investigated for involvement in canine DM. SNPs of particular interest in the human association studies are those in the promoter region which affect CTLA4 expression levels, and that of exon 1 which results in a non-synonymous amino acid change. We performed a canine SNP discovery investigation of CTLA4 on a region of DNA containing exon 1 and 1.5 kb upstream sequence in order to identify promoter region SNPs. Confirmed SNPs were used in a genetic association study of a canine diabetic cohort showing that CTLA4 promoter polymorphisms were associated with diabetes in crossbreed dogs and in five Pedigree breeds-Samoyed, Miniature Schnauzer, West Highland White Terrier, Border Terrier and Labrador. Meta-analysis of these breeds showed 9 out of 15 SNPs were associated with DM and genotype and haplotype analyses also confirmed the allelic associations in these breeds.

Association of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 Gene Polymorphisms and HLA Class II Alleles with the Development of Type 1 Diabetes in Korean Children and Adolescents

We studied the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 gene (CTLA4) polymorphisms with the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Korean children and adolescents. A total of 176 Korean subjects (92 females and 84 males) with childhood-onset T1D were studied. The A/G polymorphism at position 49 in CTLA4 exon 1 and the C/T polymorphism at position -318 in the CTLA4 promoter were analyzed...

P-212: Association between Polymorphisms of CTLA-4 Gene and Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion in An Iranian Population

Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) has been suggested being associated with the failure of fetal-maternal immunologic tolerance in which the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) play a crucial role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is expressed transiently on activated T cells and constitutively on Tregs. CTLA-4 interacts with the B7 cell surface molec...

The CTLA4 +49 A/G polymorphism is not associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus in the Portuguese population.

CTLA4 genetic polymorphisms have been associated with type 1 diabetes. We genotyped 207 patients and 249 controls for the most frequently investigated polymorphism of the CTLA4 gene (+49A/G (rs231775)). No significant differences were observed, suggesting that this polymorphism is not strongly associated with type 1 diabetes in the Portuguese population.

Genetic Polymorphisms of Estrogen Receptors in Iranian Women with Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease

Estrogen might play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2. Estrogens inhibit diabetes via distinct mechanisms particularly by reducing both hyperglycemia and plasma insulin levels. Estrogen exerts its physiological effects mainly through estrogen receptors including α and β types. Estrogen receptors are found in many tissues that participate in the pathogenesis of ty...

Common Variants on Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 Polymorphisms Contributes to Type 1 Diabetes Susceptibility: Evidence Based on 58 Studies

In the past decade, a number of case-control studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the CTLA4 gene polymorphisms and type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, these studies have yielded contradictory results. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of all available studies dealing with the relationship between the CTLA4 polymorphism and T1D. In total...
