MIR17HG genetic variations affect the susceptibility of IgA nephropathy in Chinese Han people
2021
Abstract Background Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide. It accounts for approximately 30 ~ 40% of glomerular diseases in China. However, the exact pathogenesis of IgAN is not well established. This study aimed to explore the association between MIR17HG polymorphisms and IgAN susceptibility. Methods Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MIR17HG were genotyped in 417 patients with IgAN and 424 healthy controls. The association analysis was conducted by logistic regression adjusted for age and gender in multiple genetic models and different subgroups. Results Our results revealed that rs72640334 and rs1428 increased the susceptibility to IgAN in total populations (p 35 years (p Conclusions Our findings suggested that MIR17HG genetic polymorphisms were correlated with IgAN susceptibility. It provided new evidence for the potential molecular mechanism of IgAN and may serve as a new biomarker for the treatment and early diagnosis of IgAN.
