  • Correlation between the polymorphisms of inhibition genes WIF1 and DKK1 in WNT signaling pathway and the susceptibility to tuberculosis in Chinese Han population

    Objective To explore the relationships between the polymorphisms of inhibitor genes WIF1 and DKK1 in WNT signaling pathway and susceptibility to tuberculosis, clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes. Methods From December 2014 to November 2016, 475 tuberculosis patients and 370 healthy controls of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were enrolled in the study, and the clinical data of the subjects were collected. High-throughput genotyping technique was used to detect the polymorphisms of WIF1 rs58635985 and DKK1 rs11001548 in WNT signaling pathway. The allele frequency distribution, genotype, genetic model, clinical features and laboratory indexes of two single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression analysis. Results There was no significant difference in the allele frequency distribution (P=0.275, 0.949), genotype (P=0.214, 0.659) or genetic models: additive model (P=0.214, 0.659), dominant model (P=0.414, 0.827), recessive model (P=0.227, 0.658) of rs58635985 and rs11001548 between the tuberculosis group and the healthy control group. Subgroup analysis showed no significant difference in allele and genotype distribution between rs58635985 and rs11001548 (pulmonary tuberculosis group vs. healthy control group: P>0.05; pulmonary tuberculosis groupvs. extra-pulmonary tuberculosis group: P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the clinical features (fever, night sweat, fatigue,etc.) or laboratory indexes (complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, TB-DNA, etc.) (P>0.05). Conclusions There is no association between rs58635985 of WIF1 gene or rs11001548 of DKK1 gene and genetic susceptibility, clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes in Han population in Western China. To expand the sample size for verification and analysis in different populations is necessary.
