Contribution of Polymorphism in PPARα Untranslated Region to The Development of Axial Spondyloarthritis

Abstract

    The study aimed to contribute to the overall understanding of axial spondyloarthritis by investigating the polymorphism in 5’ untranslated region of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene in patients. The study included 194 patients and 197 controls recruited. The DNA obtained from the samples was genotyped by multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction and then Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization- Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. Five polymorphic regions analyzed in this study, three of the sites were associated with disease risk. An allele in the rs1800204 polymorphic region (p < 0.001), C allele in the rs4253657 polymorphic region (p = 0.040) and C allele in the rs13909022 polymorphic region (p = 0.005) were associated with disease risk. The association of disease risk could not be detected with G and A alleles in the rs881740 (p = 0.456) and rs115640476 (p = 0.674) polymorphic regions, respectively. PPARα 5' untranslated region polymorphism, which is shown to be associated with disease risk, is thought to contribute to the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of the disease. In axial spondyloarthritis, studying the effects of genetic changes in PPARα on other genes with which it interacts will contribute to the full understanding of the molecular mechanism of the disease.
