Effect of L3MBTL3/PTPN9 polymorphisms on risk to alcohol-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population
1Department of Orthopedic Trauma, the Hainan Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, No. 19, Xiuhua Road, Haikou, 570311, Hainan Province, China.
Purpose:
Alcohol-induced osteonecrosis femoral head necrosis (ONFH) is a disease that seriously affects human health. Abnormal expression of L3MBTL3/PTPN9 gene can cause a variety of human diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of L3MBTL3/PTPN9 gene polymorphism on the susceptibility of alcohol-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population.
Methods:
A total of 308 alcohol-induced ONFH patients and 425 healthy controls were enrolled in this case-control study. Alleles, genotypes, genetic models, haplotypes, and multifactor dimensionality reduction analyses (MDR) based on age-corrected by using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were performed.
Results:
Our result revealed rs2068957 in the L3MBTL3 gene increased the risk of alcohol ONFH under the recessive model after correction. Besides, we also found that rs75393192 in the PTPN9 gene was a protective site in stratification over 40 years of age and stage. In stratified analysis of necrotic sites, we only found that rs2068957 was associated with increased susceptibility of alcohol-induced ONFH under the co-dominant model and recessive model. Haplotype "GC" in the block (rs76107647|rs10851882 in PTPN9 gene) significantly decreased the susceptibility of alcoholic ONFH.
Conclusions:
Our results provide evidence that L3MBTL3/PTPN9 polymorphisms are associated with alcohol-induced ONFH risk in Chinese Han population.
