Title: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus – Human Etiology and Pathogenesis Poster II

Session Type: ACR Poster Session C

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose:

ITGAM (Integrin-α-M, also known as CD11b) gene located at chromosome 16p11.2, encodes for the α-chain of Integrin-αMβ2, a leucocyte specific integrin receptor, also known as complement receptor 3 (CR3). It is important in the adherence of leucocytes to stimulate endothelium and in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles such as apoptotic cells. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1143679 G/A in ITGAM gene encodes an amino-acid change from arginine to histidine at position 77 (R77H) which impairs the integrin-mediated cell adhesion of ligands and reduces phagocytosis of complement-coated particles, hence, predisposing to SLE. SNP rs1143679 has been shown to be associated with SLE in European, African, Hispanic or native American populations. We aimed to verify this association in North Indian population and to study the genetic relations between this SNP and sub-phenotypes of SLE.

Methods:

395 SLE patients (classified according to the 1997 ACR classification criteria for SLE) and 593 controls were enrolled. All samples were genotyped for SNP rs1143679 using TaqMan genotyping assay in Roche LC480 real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system. A case-control association study and a genotype phenotype correlation were performed.

Results:

The mean age of the SLE patients was 30.7 years, and 94.3% were females. Allelic and genotypic frequencies did not deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the controls (p > 0.05). Allele contrast showed that the variant allele A was associated with increased risk for SLE when compared with the G allele (OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.23 – 2.17, p < 0.001). A significant difference was detected both under recessive model [AA vs (GA + GG): OR = 4.31, 95% CI = 1.90 – 9.79, p < 0.01] and dominant model [(AA + GA) vs GG: OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 0.85 – 1.64] with regard to the distribution of genotype frequencies between SLE patients and healthy controls. On sub-phenotype analysis, an association was observed between SNP rs1143679 and oral ulcers, under the dominant model (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.01 – 2.70, p < 0.05). None of the other clinical manifestations showed association with SNP rs1143679.

Conclusion:

SNP rs1143679 in ITGAM gene predisposes to SLE in North Indian population. In accordance with the results of the previous studies conducted in European, African, and Hispanic populations, ITGAM rs1143679 polymorphism is associated with SLE susceptibility in different ethnic groups.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
