Genetic Study of 12 SNPs involved in 11 Folate Metabolism Genes and Neural Tube Defects in Suzhou Children

چکیده
Objective: Neural tube defect (NTD) incidence could be effectively reduced by folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy. We studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in folate metabolism to explore genetic susceptibility to NTD. We studied the association between 12 SNPs involved in 11 folate metabolism genes and NTDs. Methods: We enrolled 76 children with NTD and 188 control children. We genotyped 12 folate metabolism SNPs including CBS-C699T, DHFR-c594+59del19, GSTO1-C428T, MTHFD-G1958A, MTHFR-C677T, MTHFR-A1298C, MTR-A2756G, MTRR-A66G, NFE2L2-ins1+C11108T, RFC1-G80A, TCN2-C776T, and TYMS-1494del6 using SNaPShot genotyping technology and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Results: One SNP, TYMS-1494del6, and one compound wide-type genotype of RFC1-G80A, MTHFR-A1298C and TCN2-C776T might decrease NTD risk, and three compound mutation genotypes of MTHFD-G1958A, MTHFRC677T, and MTR-A2756G; MTHFD-G1958A, MTR-A2756G, and RFC1-G80A; and RFC1-G80A, MTHFR-A1298C, and TCN2-C776T might increase NTD risk. The TT genotype of TYMS-1494del6 (P<0.001) and the AT+TT genotype of TYMS-1494del6 (P=0.009) were significant genotypes. Fourteen in 188 control babies carried the compound wide-type genotype of RFC1-G80A, MTHFR-A1298C, and TCN2-C776T, but none in 76 NTD babies (P=0.014). The ratios of the two compound mutants for MTHFD-G1958A, MTHFR-C677T, MTR-A2756G, and MTHFD-G1958A, RFC1-G80A, MTR-A2756G in NTD were higher than in control babies (P=0.021) and RFC1G80A, MTHFR-A1298C, and TCN2-C776T (P=0.029). Conclusions: The TT genotype of TYMS-1494del6 and the two wide-type genotypes of RFC1-G80A, MTHFRA1298C, and TCN2-C776T are protective in NTD. Three compound mutation genotypes of MTHFD-G1958A, MTHFR-C677T, MTR-A2756G, MTHFD-G1958A, MTR-A2756G, RFC1-G80A, and RFC1-G80A, MTHFR-A1298C, TCN2-C776T might increase susceptibility to NTD.

Genetic modifiers of folate, vitamin B-12, and homocysteine status in a cross-sectional study of the Canadian population.
BACKGROUND Genetic variation can cause variable responses to environmental stimuli. A number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with B vitamin status or chronic diseases related to vitamin B-12 and folate metabolism. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to identify associations between common SNPs in genes related to folate and vitamin B-12 metabolism or associated with B v...

Background: Breast Cancer (BC), the second leading cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer and varied across the world due to genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we evaluated the interaction between the polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes of folate metabolism: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthesis reductase (MTR) with the BC prognostic factors. ...

Cobalamin deficiency in the newborn usually results from cobalamin deficiency in the mother. Megaloblastic anaemia, pancytopenia and failure to thrive can be present, accompanied by neurological deficits if the diagnosis is delayed. Most cases of spina bifida and other neural tube defects result from maternal folate and/or cobalamin insufficiency in the periconceptual period. Polymorphisms in a...

Arsenic is an important environmental toxicant which is usually found in drinking water in inorganic form. The hypothesis tested in this investigation is; arsenic exposure causes neural tube defects (NTDs) andthese defects of the central nervous system are more likely related to folate deficiency during fetal life. In this study, sodium arsenate was administered via intraperitoneal route at a r...

BACKGROUND Folate metabolism pathway genes have been examined for association with neural tube defects (NTDs) because folic acid supplementation reduces the risk of this debilitating birth defect. Most studies addressed these genes individually, often with different populations providing conflicting results. OBJECTIVES Our study evaluates several folate pathway genes for association with huma...
