Association between LINC-PINT and LINC00599 gene polymorphism and the risk of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head in the population of northern China.
2021
Abstract Background Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a complex disease affected by genetics. LncRNA LINC-PINT and LINC00599 have been proved to be associated with susceptibility to a variety of diseases, however it is not clear whether they are related to steroid-induced ONFH. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the correlation between the polymorphisms of LINC-PINT and LINC00599 genes and steroid-induced ONFH in the population of northern China. Methods A case-control study including 199 patients and 725 controls was designed. The Agena MassARRAY platform was used for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in LINC-PINT and LINC00599 genes. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to evaluate the association between the above SNPs and steroid-induced ONFH in allelic and genetic models. Besides, one-way ANOVA was used to study the relationship between these SNPs and partial lipid levels. Results In the LINC00599 gene, two sites are related to steroid-induced ONFH. Among them, rs2272026 increased the risk of the disease in co-dominant (heterozygous) and dominant models. And rs1962430 is a risk factor for this disease in the allelic, co-dominance (heterozygous), dominant and additive model. whereas in women with steroid-induced ONFH, three sites in the LINC-PINT gene are related to the disease. Thereinto, rs157916 reduces the risk of the disease in allelic, co-dominant (homozygous), recessive and additive models. Rs16873842 is related to the reduced risk of the disease in allele, dominant and additive models. And rs7781295 is a protective factor for steroid-induced ONFH in the allelic and additive model. Conclusion Our study suggests that the polymorphisms of LINC-PINT and LINC00599 genes are related to the susceptibility of steroid-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population.
