Genetic Susceptibility to Antisynthetase Syndrome Associated With Single-Nucleotide Variants in the IL1B Gene That Lead Variation in IL-1β Serum Levels
The antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by myositis, arthritis, mechanic's hands, fever, Raynaud phenomenon, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). We aimed to evaluate single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin 1B (IL1B) gene and their association betwe...

Sumario: | The antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by myositis, arthritis, mechanic's hands, fever, Raynaud phenomenon, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). We aimed to evaluate single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin 1B (IL1B) gene and their association between ILD with antisynthetase autoantibodies, as well as IL-1β serum levels. The most frequent antisynthetase autoantibody was anti-Jo1. The most frequent tomographic pattern was non-specific interstitial pneumonia, whereas in the anti-Jo1 subjects, it was organized pneumonia. Anti-Jo1 patients tend to have more significant arthritis, and Raynaud phenomenon have higher levels of creatinine phosphokinase. In the IL1B gene, the GG genotype and G allele of rs1143634 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.21 and OR = 2.60, respectively, p < 0.05] are associated with an increased risk, as well as with the dominant and recessive models (p < 0.05). This finding is maintained after logistic regression analysis adjusting for potential confounding variables (p < 0.05). Subjects with the rs16944/AG heterozygous genotype had higher serum levels of IL-1β compared to homozygous (p < 0.05). In conclusion, rs1143634 is associated with a higher risk of ASSD. Also, the GA genotype is associated with higher levels of IL-1β in ASSD patients. |
