MAPK and ERK polymorphisms are associated with PCOS risk in Chinese women

In this case-control study, we analyzed the association between eight RegulomeDB-annotated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MEK1, MEK2, ERK1 and ERK2 genes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MEK1 rs12050732 (OR = 1.29 [95%CI: 1.06-1.58...

Sumario:In this case-control study, we analyzed the association between eight RegulomeDB-annotated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MEK1, MEK2, ERK1 and ERK2 genes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MEK1 rs12050732 (OR = 1.29 [95%CI: 1.06-1.58], P = 0.012), ERK2 rs2266966 (OR = 0.81 [95%CI: 0.67-0.99], P = 0.040) and ERK2 rs5999521 (OR = 0.66 [95%CI: 0.51-0.86], P = 0.002) were associated with PCOS risk without adjusting for age and body mass index. Moreover, PCOS risk increased with allele dosage when these three polymorphisms were combined (P(trend) = 0.001). These findings suggest that genetic variants in key MAPK and ERK genes contribute to PCOS risk in Chinese women.
