Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

18.0K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

DNA Distortion and Damage
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...

Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

3.3K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Nucleic Acids and Nucleotides01:20

Nucleic Acids and Nucleotides

14.0K
Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the cell's genetic blueprint and have instructions for its functioning. The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and the organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria....

Pain01:20

Pain

1.3K
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Summary

This study found specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and its pain severity. These genetic markers may help in diagnosing IC and understanding chronic pain in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Urology
  • Biomarkers

Background:

  • Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition characterized by pelvic pain and urinary urgency, lacking objective diagnostic markers.
  • The etiology and pathogenesis of IC remain poorly understood, complicating diagnosis and management.
  • Identifying reliable biomarkers is crucial for advancing IC diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between 20 selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
  • To explore the correlation of these SNPs with the severity of chronic pain experienced by IC patients.
  • To identify potential genetic markers for IC diagnosis and pain assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study involving 34 female IC patients and 23 controls.
  • Genotyping of 20 selected SNPs using real-time PCR (q-PCR).
  • IC patients were categorized by pain severity for comparative analysis.

Main Results:

  • The polymorphic allele of SNP rs11127292 was significantly more frequent in IC patients compared to controls (p=0.01).
  • SNP rs6311's polymorphic allele was more prevalent in patients with severe pain (p=0.03).
  • The wild-type allele of SNP rs1799971 was more frequent in patients with mild to moderate pain (p=0.04).

Conclusions:

  • Specific SNPs show potential as biomarkers for Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
  • Certain SNPs may also serve as indicators for pain severity in IC patients.
  • These novel associations between SNPs and IC warrant further investigation.
