Summary: | Trachoma, caused by
Chlamydia trachomatis
, is the most common infectious blindness in the world and is present in indigenous Mayan from Chiapas (Mexico). Inflammatory genes are activated when suffering from trachoma, thus some polymorphisms could increase the susceptibility to develop irreversible blindness. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic risk of developing late-stage trachoma in Mayan ethnic groups. In a case–control study (
n
= 51 vs
n
= 102, respectively), the following single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to inflammation were analysed:
HSD11B1
(rs11807619),
HSD11B1
(rs932335), ABCG2 (rs2231142), SLCO1B1 (rs4149056), IL-10 (rs1800890), TNF (rs1800629), MMP2 (rs243865) and
ACE
. Three SNPs were associated with late-stage trachoma risk: (i) the T allele of rs11807619, (ii) the C allele of rs932335, which are linked to the
HSD11B1
gene (OR = 22.5–27.3), particularly in men when adjusts for gender (OR = 16–16.7); and (iii) D allele of rs4340 in the
ACE
gene (OR = 5.2–5.3). In fact, significant linkage disequilibrium demonstrated association between
ACE
gene and
HSD11B1
SNPs (r = 0.17–0.179;
P
= 0.0048–0.0073). Two SNPs
HSD11B1
gene (
P
= 0.013 vs 0.0039) and
HSD11B1
–
ACE
haplotypes showed association with late-stage trachoma in Mayan ethnic groups. |
