    A meta-analysis suggests the association of reduced serum level of vitamin D and T-allele of Fok1 (rs2228570) polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene with celiac disease

    Purpose: As an immune-modulator, vitamin D is known to regulate immune response and is implicated in disease pathogenesis. Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disease and susceptibility conferred by vitamin D metabolism is under investigation. Studies on the association of vitamin D metabolism and genetic polymorphisms are expected to explain CD pathogenesis. We performed a systematic review�based meta-analysis to investigate the 25(OH)D serum levels and susceptibility conferred by the genetic variants of VDR in CD. Methods: Systematic review was conducted through a web-based literature search following stringent study inclusion�exclusion criteria. The Newcastle�Ottawa Scale and GRADE tools were used to assess the quality of evidence in studies and the study outcome. Cohen's ? value was estimated to access the reviewer's agreement. RevMan 5.4.1 was used to perform the meta-analyses. Weighted mean difference and Meta p-value was assessed for 25(OH)D serum levels. Meta-odds ratio and Z-test p-value were evaluated to estimate the allelic susceptibility of VDR variants. Results: A total of 8 out of 12 studies were evaluated for �25(OH)D� serum level, while four studies were found eligible for SNPs (Bsm1, Apa1, Fok1, and Taq1) of VDR. Significantly higher levels [WMD = 5.49, p < 0.00001] of 25(OH)D were observed in healthy controls than in patients with CD. rs2228570-T (Fok1) [Meta-OR = 1.52, p = 0.02] was confirmed to be predisposing allele for CD. Conclusion: Reduced serum level of 25(OH)D and association of Fok1 T-allele of VDR confirmed in this study plays a critical role in immunomodulation and maintaining barrier integrity, which is majorly implicated in CD.

    Celiac disease-associated loci show considerable genetic overlap with neuropsychiatric diseases but with limited transethnic applicability

    Clinical and public health research has revealed the co-occurrence of several neuropsychiatric diseases among patients with celiac disease (CD). The significant presence of CD-specific autoantibodies in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases and vice versa are often reported. To explain the genetic basis of such frequent disease co-occurrence and investigate the underlying common pathways/processes, we performed an extensive cross-disease association study followed by supporting in silico functional validation of the leads. Genomewide association study (GWAS) data for CD and eight commonly co-occurring neuropsychiatric diseases from Caucasian populations were analysed, and the shared loci were determined. We performed Immunochip-based fine mapping of these overlapping association signals in an independent European CD data and tested their cross-ethnic transferability using CD association data from the genetically distinct north Indian population. This study identified 12 shared loci between the two diseases with genomewide significance (P ? 5e-8). Of these five loci, namely NFIA, KIA1109, NOTCH4-TSBP1-PBX2, HLA-DQA1 and CSK replicated in an independent Dutch cohort representing European ancestry. Three of these loci, namely NFIA, NOTCH4-TSBP1-PBX2 and HLA-DQA1 that are common between CD, anxiety, migraine and schizophrenia respectively withstood locus transferability test in north Indians. Tissue-specific eQTL analysis of SNPs from transferable loci revealed expression QTL effects in brain tissue besides the small intestine and whole blood. Pathway analysis and evidence of epigenetic regulation highlighted the potential contribution of these SNPs to disease pathology. The replicable and transferable association of genetic variants from MHC locus and their functional implications suggest the process of antigen presentation and adaptive/innate immune response regulated by non-HLA genes in the locus may dominate the shared pathogenesis of CD and neuropsychiatric diseases. Functional validation of the shared candidate genes is warranted to unravel the molecular mechanism for the co-occurrence of CD and specific neuropsychiatric diseases. � 2023, Indian Academy of Sciences.

    Multiple allelic associations from genes involved in energy metabolism were identified in celiac disease

    Energy metabolism is a critical factor that influences disease pathogenesis. Recent high-throughput genomic studies have enabled us to look into disease biology with greater details. Celiac disease (CD) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease where ~60 non-HLA genes were identified which in conjunction with HLA genes explain ~55% of the disease heritability. In this study we aimed to identify susceptibility energy metabolism genes and investigate their role in CD. We re-analysed published Immunochip genotyping data, which were originally analysed for CD association studies in north Indian and Dutch population. 269 energy metabolism genes were tested. Meta-analysis was done for the identified SNPs. To validate the functional implications of identified markers and/or genes, in silico functional annotation was performed. Six SNPs were identified in north Indians, of which three markers from two loci were replicated in Dutch. rs2071592 (PMeta=5.01e?75) and rs2251824 (PMeta=1.87e?14) from ATP6V1G2-NFKBIL1-DDX39B locus and rs4947331 (PMeta= 9.85e?13) from NEU1 locus were found significantly associated. Identified genes are key regulators of cellular energy metabolism and associated with several immune mediated diseases. In silico functional annotation showed significant biological relevance of these novel markers and genes. FDI approved therapeutics against ATP6V1G2 and NEU1 are currently in use to treat chronic and inflammatory diseases. This study identified two pathogenic loci, originally involved in energy metabolism. Extensive investigation showed their synergistic role in CD pathogenesis by promoting immune mediated enteric inflammation. Proposed CD pathogenesis model in this study needs to be tested through tissue-on-chip and in vivo methods to ensure its translational application. � 2021, Indian Academy of Sciences.
