FLT4 gene polymorphisms influence isolated ventricular septal defect predisposition in a Southwest China population.
Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disease. Although a small number of genes associated with VSD have been found, the genetic factors of VSD remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the association of 10 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with isolated VSD in a population from Southwest China.
Methods: Based on the results of 34 congenital heart disease whole-exome sequencing and 1000 Genomes databases, 10 candidate SNPs were selected. A total of 618 samples were collected from the population of Southwest China, including 285 VSD samples and 333 normal samples. Ten SNPs in the case group and the control group were identified by SNaPshot genotyping. The chi-square (χ2) test was used to evaluate the relationship between VSD and each candidate SNP. The SNPs that had significant P value in the initial stage were further analysed using linkage disequilibrium, and haplotypes were assessed in 34 congenital heart disease whole-exome sequencing samples using Haploview software. The bins of SNPs that were in very strong linkage disequilibrium were further used to predict haplotypes by Arlequin software. ViennaRNA v2.5.1 predicted the haplotype mRNA secondary structure. We evaluated the correlation between mRNA secondary structure changes and ventricular septal defects.
Results: The χ2 results showed that the allele frequency of FLT4 rs383985 (P = 0.040) was different between the control group and the case group (P < 0.05). FLT4 rs3736061 (r2 = 1), rs3736062 (r2 = 0.84), rs3736063 (r2 = 0.84) and FLT4 rs383985 were in high linkage disequilibrium (r2 > 0.8). Among them, rs3736061 and rs3736062 SNPs in the FLT4 gene led to synonymous variations of amino acids, but predicting the secondary structure of mRNA might change the secondary structure of mRNA and reduce the free energy.
Conclusions: These findings suggest a possible molecular pathogenesis associated with isolated VSD, which warrants investigation in future studies.
