    Abstract:
    Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune-mediated hemorrhagic disease. Emerging evidence indicates that FOXO1 SNPs are related to the immune dysregulation of several autoimmune diseases suggesting that FOXO1 may be involved in inflammation and pathologic activities in patients with ITP. This study aimed to evaluate whether FOXO1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with susceptibility to ITP and clinical priorities of concern include bleeding severity and sensitivity of glucocorticoid treatment. This study recruited 327 newly diagnosed ITP and 220 healthy controls. Four SNPs (rs17446593, rs17446614, rs2721068, and rs2721068) of the FOXO1 gene were detected using the Sequenom MassArray system. Bleeding severity were classified into the mild and severe groups based on the bleeding scores. ITP patients were classified as sensitive and insensitive to glucocorticoid treatment according to the practice guideline for ITP (2019 version). The frequencies of the four SNPs did not show any significant differences between the ITP and healthy control groups. Patients with AA genotype at rs17446593 (p = 0.009) and GG genotype at rs17446614 (p = 0.009) suffered more severe bleeding than patients without them. Carriers of haplotype Grs17446593Ars17446614Crs2721068Trs2755213 were protective to severe bleeding (p = 0.002). The AA genotype at rs17446593 was significantly higher in ITP patients sensitive to glucocorticoid treatment than in those insensitive to glucocorticoid treatment (p = 0.03). Haplotype Grs17446593Grs17446614Trs2721068Trs2755213 increases the risk of glucocorticoid resistance (p = 0.007). Although FOXO1 gene polymorphisms were not associated with susceptibility to ITP, the AA genotype at rs17446593 and GG genotype at rs17446614 were associated with bleeding severity. Haplotype GACT have a protective effect against severe bleeding. Patients with AA genotype at rs17446593 may tend to have good responds to glucocorticoid treatment. However, the FOXO1 gene haplotype GGTT increases the risk of glucocorticoid-resistant. Trial registration: ChiCTR1900022419.
