tailieunhanh - Association of CARD10 rs6000782 and TNF rs1799724 variants with paediatric-onset autoimmune hepatitis

Although the pathogenesis of paediatric-onset autoimmune hepatitis (pAIH) remains incompletely understood, genetic variants and environmental factors are known to be involved. Caspase recruitment domain family member 10 (CARD10) is a scaffold protein that participates in a complex pathway activating nuclear factor kappa-B (NFjB) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). This study aimed to investigate the association of CARD10 rs6000782 ( > C) and TNF gene promoter rs1799724 ( > T) variants with pAIH susceptibility in a cohort of Egyptian children. The research was also extended to assess the relationship of these variants with levels of NFjB-p65 and TNF-a. Fifty-six pAIH patients and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included. Variant genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Serum NFjB-p65 and TNF-a levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). rs6000782 C and rs1799724 T alleles, separate or in combination, were significantly increased in pAIH patients compared to controls. Serum levels of NFjB-p65 and TNF-a were higher in pAIH differentiating both groups. Moreover, the recessive model of rs6000782 revealed a significant association with the levels of both NFjB-p65 and TNF-a. In conclusion, rs6000782 and rs1799724 variants are potential genetic risk factors for pAIH predisposition, with the former affecting NFjB-p65 and TNF-a levels. Overall, the inflammatory cascade was associated with the degree of liver cell destruction. Clinically, screening and genetic counselling are recommended for relatives of pAIH patients. | Association of CARD10 rs6000782 and TNF rs1799724 variants with paediatric-onset autoimmune hepatitis
