Inflammasome and immune disorders

Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SPA) are autoimmune diseases of unknown etiology, which share some clinical manifestations in common. Previous family-based investigations support genetic contributions to the susceptibility of these diseases. The current study evaluated whether three previously reported AS-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs6908425 T>C in CDKAL1, rs11584383 T>C near KIF21B, and rs11175593 C>T near LRRK2/MUC19, have any genetic overlap across multiple autoimmune diseases including SAPHO syndrome, RA, AS, and SPA.Genomic DNA was obtained from 71 SAPHO, 125 RA, 67 AS, and 35 SPA Han Chinese patients, as well as 104 healthy controls. SNPs were genotyped by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed using chi-square test.rs6908425 T>C in CDKAL1 was significantly different between SAPHO cases and healthy controls (odds ratios = 2.056, 95% confidence intervals: 1.211-3.490; p = 0.007), but no SNPs were associated with the risk of developing RA, AS, or SPA (p > 0.05). Analysis of genotype distributions showed similar results. A significant difference was only found in the genotype frequency of rs6908425 in SAPHO cases (p = 0.004); no significant differences were detected among patients with RA, AS, and SPA (p > 0.05).Our results suggest that rs6908425 in CDKAL1 is associated with the risk of developing SAPHO in Han Chinese populations. People who carry the risk allele T of rs6908425 might be more prone to developing SAPHO syndrome.
