RESUMEN
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to genotype two previously identified SNPs (rs1048661:R141L, and rs3825942:G153D) in the lysyl oxidase?like 1 (LOXL1) gene and determine their association with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (XFG) in patients from Pune, India. Methods: All subjects underwent detailed phenotyping, and DNA extraction was performed on blood samples by using standardized techniques. Exon 1 of the LOXL1 gene containing the SNPs (rs3825942:G153D; rs1048661:R141L) were Sanger sequenced, and the results were analyzed using sequence analysis software SeqScape 2.1.1. Results: Data were analyzed from 71 patients with XFG and 81 disease?negative, age?matched controls. There was a strong association between the G allele of rs3825942 and XFG with an odds ratio of 10.2 (CI: 3.92–26.6; P < 0.001). The G allele of rs1048661 also showed an increase in risk relative to the T allele (OR = 1.49; CI: 0.88–2.51; P = 0.13), but this was not significant. Haplotype combination frequencies were estimated for rs1048661 and rs3825942; the GG haplotype was associated with a significant increase in risk (OR = 3.91; CI: 2.27–6.73; P < 0.001). Both the GA and TG haplotypes were associated with decreased XFG risk, although the latter was not significant (GA: OR = 0.08; CI: 0.03–0.21; P < 0.001; TG: OR = 0.67; CI: 0.40–1.13; P = 0.13). Conclusion: The risk G allele in rs3852942 (G153D) is strongly associated with the development of XFG in the Western Indian population. Genetic screening strategies to identify LOXL1 risk alleles in the population can assist in case definition and early diagnosis, targeting precious resources to high?risk patients.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT A 89-year-old Black female with a 6-year history of advanced open-angle glaucoma was referred to the Glaucoma Service of the Ophthalmology Department - Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/60 in the left eye. Pseudoexfoliation material was observed at the iris border, angle, and the anterior lens surface. Anterior biomicroscopy revealed exfoliation material forming an evident peripheral zone and a central disc separated by a clear intermediate zone on the anterior lens surface OU. Gonioscopy showed an open-angle Sampaolesis's line and whitish material deposits OU. Fundus examination revealed a cup-to-disc ratio of 1.0 OU with peripapillary atrophy. Genetic analysis for single nucleotide polymorphisms of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene linked to exfoliation syndrome identified two such single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1048661 and rs216524.
RESUMO Uma mulher negra de 89 anos com um histórico de seis anos de glaucoma avançado de ângulo aberto avançado foi encaminhada ao Serviço de Glaucoma do Departamento de Oftalmologia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). A acuidade visual melhor corrigida era 20/400 no olho direito e 20/60 no olho esquerdo. Material pseudo-exfoliativo foi observado na borda iriana, ângulo e superfície anterior do cristalino. A biomicroscopia de segmento anterior demonstrou material exfoliativo formando uma zona periférica evidente e um disco central separado por uma zona intermediária livre na cápsula anterior do cristalino. A gonioscopia mostrou uma linha de Sampaolesi de ângulo aberto e depósitos esbranquiçados. O exame de fundo de olho revelou disco óptico com escavação total em ambos os olhos com atrofia peripapilar. A análise genética para polimorfismos de nucleotídeo único do gene semelhante à lysyl oxidase-like 1 ligado à síndrome de esfoliação identificou dois desses polimorfismos de nucleotídeo único, rs1048661 e rs216524.

Background Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a systemic disease with abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix.Researches showed that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene is associated with the pathogenesis of XFS in global population.However,the results are varied among different ethnicity and regions.Objective This study aimed to assess the association between LOXL1 gene polymorphisms and XFS in Uygur population.Methods One-hundred and fifty-two Uygur XFS patients without relativeness were enrolled from January to August in 2014,and 228 ethnicity-and gender-matched normal controls were recruited at the same period from the same region.Each individual underwent comprehensive eye examinations and 5 ml peripheral blood was collected.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood.PCR-ligase detection response (LDR) was used to determine the allele and genotype frequencies of the six SNPs rs12914489,rs4886467,rs4558370,rs4461027,rs4886761 and rs16958477 in the promoter region of LOXL1 gene.The distribution frequency between the patients and normal controls was compared by x2 test.Logistic regression analysis was used for age adjustment.This study was approved by Ethic Committe of Xinjiang Medical University,and informed consent was obtained from the subjects.Results rs12914489 site in the normal control group diverged from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P =0.033),and the rs4886467,rs4558370,rs4461027,rs4886761 and rs16958477 sites followed HWE.The frequencies of G allele and GG genotype of rs4886467 in the XFS group were lower than those in the control group (both at P =0.00) and were protective factors of XFS (OR =0.54,95 % CI:0.40-0.74,P =0.000;OR=0.51,95% CI:0.33-0.78,P=0.001);the frequencies of T allele and TT genotype of rs4558370 in the XFS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both at P=0.00) and were the risk factors of XFS (OR=1.96,95% CI:1.23-3.11,P =0.004;OR =2.18,95% CI:1.31-3.64,P =0.002);the frequencies of C allele and CC genotype of rs4461027 in the XFS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both at P=0.00) and were the risk factors of XFS (OR=2.25,95% CI:1.67-3.04,P=0.000;OR=3.06,95% CI:1.89-4.96,P=0.000);the frequencies of T allele and TT genotype of rs4886761 in the XFS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both at P=0.00) and were the risk factors of XFS (OR=2.44,95% CI:1.79-3.33,P =0.000;OR =3.02,95% CI:1.63-5.60,P =0.000);the frequencies of C allele and CC genotype of rs16958477 in the XFS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both at P=0.00) and were the risk factors of XFS (OR =2.00,95 % CI:1.47-2.71,P =0.000;OR =2.37,95 % CI:1.31-4.27,P =0.004).Conclusions The SNPs of promoter region of LOXL1 gene are associated with hereditary susceptibility of XFS individually in Uygur population.The SNPs of rs4886467 locus are protective factor,while the SNPs of rs4558370,rs4461027,rs4886761 and rs16958477 locus are risk factors for pathogenesis of XFS.
RESUMEN
Las amino-oxidasas pertenecen a dos grupos de proteinas: flavoenzimas y quinoenzimas. La lisil-oxidasa (LOX) es una quinoenzima que contiene cobre y lisil-tirosil-quinona como cofactor. Los niveles de LOX aumentan en muchas enfermedades fibroticas y en algunos tumores promoviendo metastasis, mientras que la expresion de la enzima esta disminuida en enfermedades que involucran un deterioro en el metabolismo del cobre. Se discute el rol de LOX como amino-oxidasa en la catalisis de la desaminacion oxidativa de residuos de lisina en los precursores del colageno y de elastina, y la participacion de los restantes miembros de esta familia genica: LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3 y LOXL4, asi como sus propiedades moleculares. Se analizan su biosintesis, sus propiedades cataliticas y mecanismo de reaccion, cofactores e inhibidores y la expresion y respuesta a diversos efectores celulares.
Amino-oxidases belong to two groups of proteins: flavoenzymes and quinoenzymes. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a copper-containing quinoenzime, having lysyl-tyrosyl-quinone as cofactor. LOX levels are increased in many fibrotic diseases, and in some tumors promoting metastasis, while the enzyme expression is decreased in diseases that involve deterioration in copper metabolism. The role of LOX as amino oxidase in catalyzing the oxidative deamination of lysine residues in precursors of collagen and elastin is discussed, as well as the participation of other members of this gene family: LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, and LOXL4, and their molecular properties. The biosynthesis, catalytic properties and reaction mechanism, cofactors and inhibitors, and the expression and response to various cellular effectors are analyzed.
