Common ALDH3A1 Gene Variant Associated with Keratoconus Risk in the Polish Population
Background: ALDH3A1 protein is important in maintaining corneal physiology and protecting the eye from UV damage. However, none of the genome-wide association studies has indicated that the ALDH3A1 locus is associated with keratoconus. In this study, we examined the potential role of ALDH3A1 variant...

description | Background: ALDH3A1 protein is important in maintaining corneal physiology and protecting the eye from UV damage. However, none of the genome-wide association studies has indicated that the ALDH3A1 locus is associated with keratoconus. In this study, we examined the potential role of ALDH3A1 variants as risk factors for keratoconus incidence and severity in a large group of Polish keratoconus patients. Methods: In the first stage we analyzed the coding region sequence of the ALDH3A1 in a subgroup of keratoconus. Then, we genotyped three selected ALDH3A1 variants in a larger KC group of patients (n = 261) and healthy controls (n = 317). Results: We found that the rs1042183 minor allele A is a risk factor for keratoconus in the dominant model (OR = 2.06, 95%CI = 1.42–2.98, p = 0.00013). The rs2228100 variant genotypes appear to be associated with an earlier age of KC diagnosis in the Polish population (p = 0.055 for comparison of three genotypes and p = 0.022 for the dominant inheritance model). Conclusions: The rs1042183 variant in ALDH3A1 is associated with keratoconus risk in the Polish population. The differences in the allele frequency between both populations could be partially responsible for the difference in the disease prevalence. |
