Inheritance of immunoglobulin E: genetic model fitting.

S J Hasstedt, D A Meyers, D G Marsh

    American Journal of Medical Genetics
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found a polygenic component influences immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, but no evidence suggests a major gene effect in families with breast cancer. Genetic factors for IgE are complex, not solely determined by a single gene.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Cancer Genetics
    • Human Genetics

    Background:

    • Serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
    • Previous research has explored the genetic basis of IgE levels, with varying results.
    • Understanding the genetic architecture of IgE is important for studying allergic and autoimmune diseases, and potentially cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the genetic determinants of total serum IgE concentration in families with a history of breast cancer.
    • To differentiate between polygenic inheritance and major gene effects on IgE levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum IgE levels were measured in 316 individuals from five pedigrees.
    • Sex- and age-adjusted natural logarithm-transformed IgE levels were analyzed.
    • Genetic models including polygenic, major gene, and mixed models were computed using likelihood analysis.

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in IgE levels was observed between individuals with breast cancer and their relatives.
    • Analysis provided evidence supporting a polygenic component in the determination of serum IgE levels.
    • No evidence for a major gene effect on IgE levels was detected.

    Conclusions:

    • The genetic determination of serum IgE levels in these families is likely polygenic.
    • A single major gene does not appear to significantly influence IgE levels in this cohort.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific polygenes involved in IgE regulation.
