Vascular endothelial growth factor gene variants and haplotypes associated with susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Aims
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and genetic variations in the VEGFA gene were suggested to contribute to DR development. We evaluate the association of VEGFA variants and haplotypes with DR in Tunisian patients with T2DM.
Methods
This study was performed on 815 T2DM patients (307 without DR (DWR) and 508 with DR). Genotyping of 11 VEGFA SNPs was done by real-time PCR.
Results
The minor allele frequency (MAF) of rs25648 was significantly lower in DR patients (12 %) than in controls (16 %) and was associated with reduced DR risk (OR [95%CI], 0.71 [0.50–0.99]; p = 0.04), while MAF of rs1570360 was significantly higher. The rs3025039 (minor) T allele also showed a protective effect (OR [95%CI], 0.49 [0.28–0.88]; p = 0.017), and rs833070 was significantly associated in genotype-level analyses. Haplotype TACGGTGA (Block-1) (adjusted OR [95%CI], 0.58 [0.37–0.92]; p = 0.02) and haplotype CCT (Block-2) (adjusted OR [95 % CI], 0.51 [0.28–0.92]; p = 0.02) were significantly less frequent in DR patients, suggesting a protective role.
Conclusion
This study confirms that VEGFA rs25648 and rs3025039 SNPs, and haplotypes TACGGTGA and CCT are associated with reduced DR risk, suggesting a protective role and highlighting VEGFA as a candidate locus for genetic risk assessment and personalized intervention in DR.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
