- Abstract
- This study designed to assess the relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha promoter polymorphisms and disease susceptibility to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-positive ankylosing spondylitis (AS). One hundred and nineteen HLA-B27(+) AS patients, 95 HLA-B27(+) healthy controls, and 135 random healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TNF-alpha promoter at positions -1031T/C, -863C/A, -857C/T, -646G/A, -308G/A, and -238G/A were analyzed. Differences between groups were evaluated using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Haplotypes from each SNP were constructed, and differences in haplotypic frequencies between groups were evaluated. There were significant differences in the allelic and genotypic frequencies of 1031T/C, -863C/A, and -857C/T TNF-alpha promoters polymorphisms between HLA-B27(+) AS patients and random controls, but not between patients with AS and HLA-B27(+) healthy individuals. TNF-alpha polymorphisms did not influence the extra-spinal clinical features in patients with AS. The haplotypic sequence -1031T/-863C/-857C/-308G increased the risk of susceptibility to AS compared to random controls (P (corr) < 0.001, OR = 2.756, 95% CI = 1.894-4.010), whereas the sequence -1031C/-863A/-857C/-308G appeared to be associated with decreased susceptibility to AS compared to random controls (P (corr) = 0.006, OR = 0.396, 95% CI = 0.231-0.679). This study indicates that TNF-alpha promoter polymorphism between controls and AS patients with HLA-B27(+) genetic background is not associated with susceptibility to AS. However, TNF-alpha polymorphism, irrespective of HLA-B27, increases risk of susceptibility to AS in general population.
