Association of the RAVER2 gene with increased susceptibility for ulcerative colitis

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are autoimmune diseases (ADs) that may share common susceptibility pathways. We examined ribonucleo-protein, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB)-binding 2 (RAVER2) loci for these diseases in a cohort of 39 CD cases, 67 UC cases, 93 SLE cases, 60 APS cases and 162 healthy control subjects of Tunisian origin. We genotyped 3 SNPs of RAVER2 (rs2780814, rs1333739 and rs2780889) and evaluated it genetic association with each ADs, using X2-test. For each association, odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were calculated. We show that rs2780814 is significantly associated with UC (P = 0.00016, P(corr) = 0.00048, OR = 3.66 (1.82; 7.34)). We also observed a trend of possible association to SLE (P = 0.023, P(corr) = 0.69, OR = 2.19 (1.1; 4.36)). None of these RAVER2 SNPs were associated with CD and APS susceptibility. These findings establish RAVER2 as a new UC genetic susceptibility factor and reveal a genetic heterogeneity of the associated polymorphisms and risk alleles between ADs suggesting different immunopathological roles of RAVER2 in these diseases.

Addison Disease

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency and hypocortisolism, is a long-term endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones. Discover the latest research on Addison's disease here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
