  • Title: PTPN22 and CTLA-4 Polymorphisms Are Associated With Polyglandular Autoimmunity.
    Author: Houcken J, Degenhart C, Bender K, König J, Frommer L, Kahaly GJ.
    Journal: J Clin Endocrinol Metab; 2018 May 01; 103(5):1977-1984. PubMed ID: 29409002.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of various genes increase susceptibility to monoglandular autoimmunity. Data on autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APSs) are scarce. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate potential associations of eight SNPs with APSs. SETTING: Academic referral endocrine clinic. PATIENTS: A total of 543 patients with APS and monoglandular autoimmunity and controls. INTERVENTION: The SNP protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) rs2476601 (+1858); cytotoxic T-lymphocyte‒associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) rs3087243 (CT60) and rs231775 (AG49); vitamin D receptor (VDR) rs1544410 (Bsm I), rs7975232 (Apa I), rs731236 (Taq I); tumor necrosis factor α rs1800630 (-863); and interleukin-2 receptor alpha rs10795791 were tested by single-base extension in all subjects. RESULTS: The PTPN22 +1858 allele and genotype distribution were markedly different between APS, type 1 diabetes [T1D; odds ratio (OR): 2.67; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.52 to 4.68; P = 0.001], Graves disease (GD; OR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.16 to 3.25; P = 0.011), and controls (OR: 3.31, 95% CI: 1.82 to 6.02; P < 0.001). T-allele carriers' risk for APS was increased (OR: 3.76; 95% CI: 1.97 to 7.14; P < 0.001). T-allele frequency was higher among APS than controls (OR: 3.25; 95% CI: 1.82 to 5.82; P < 0.001), T1D (OR: 2.54; 95% CI: 1.48 to 4.36; P = 0.001), or GD (OR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.15 to 3.11; P = 0.012). The SNP CTLA-4 CT60 G-allele carriers were more frequent in APS (85%) than controls (78%) (OR: 1.55; 95% CI: 0.81 to 2.99). Combined analysis of CTLA-4 AG49 and CT60 revealed OR 4.89; 95% CI: 1.86 to13.59; P = 0.00018 of the genotype combination AG/GG for APS vs controls. VDR polymorphisms Bsm I, Apa I, and Taq I did not, but the haplotypes differed between APS and controls (P = 0.0011). CONCLUSIONS: PTPN22 and CTLA-4 polymorphisms are associated with APS and differentiate between polyglandular and monoglandular autoimmunity.
