Introduction: Previous studies have reported the involvement of nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in the inflammatory activation and pathophysiology of Ischemic Stroke (IS). Variations in genes encoding the constituent proteins of NLRP3 inflammasome can alter the risk of IS.
Objective: We investigated the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the pathogenesis of IS by establishing associations between combined polymorphisms of caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 8 (CARD8) rs2043211 and NLRP3 rs10754558 and the susceptibility to IS in a Chinese population.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CARD8 rs2043211 and NLRP3 rs10754558 were analyzed using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays in patients with IS (n=234) and healthy controls (n=115). Logistic regression analysis was carried out to evaluate potential interactions between CARD8 and NLRP3.
Results: Compared with healthy controls, there were no significant differences in the minor allele frequency (MAF) and the genotype frequency of NLRP3 rs10754558 or CARD8 rs2043211 in patients with IS(P>0.05). After stratification by gender, there was an increased risk for IS in men carrying heterozygous CARD8 rs2043211 when a co-dominant genetic model was applied (P=0.021, OR=3.83[1.22-12.03]). Logistic regression analysis indicated that men carrying both CARD8 rs2043211 AT and NLRP3 rs10754558 CG had a significantly higher risk of IS (P=0.046, OR=7.116[1.033-49.044]).
Conclusions: Nucleotide variations in the genes encoding NLRP3 inflammasome proteins may be important to IS, and men carrying CARD8 rs2043211 and NLRP3 rs10754558, both heterozygous, confer a higher risk of IS.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how genetic variations in oxidative stress, inflammation, and neurodevelopment affect spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) susceptibility and clinical progression, despite the strong influence of the SMN2 gene copy number.
- Researchers analyzed genetic data from 54 SMA patients and 163 healthy controls, identifying specific polymorphisms linked to disease risk, type, symptom onset, and motor and respiratory functions.
- Notable findings include protective effects from TNF rs1800629 and BDNF rs6265 against SMA, and associations with motor scores and lung function, highlighting the complexity of SMA's genetic landscape and potential for personalized treatments.

Background: The Caspase activation and recruitment domain 8 (CARD8) protein is a component of innate immunity as a negative regulator of NF- ĸB, and has been associated with regulation of proteins involved in inflammation. Expression of CARD8 mRNA and protein has been identified in human atherosclerotic lesions, and the truncated T30A variant (rs2043211) of CARD8 has been associated with lower C-reactive (CRP) and MCP-1 levels in myocardial infarction patients. The present study examines the role of a genetic variation in the CARD8 gene in relation to a selection of markers of inflammation.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 249 participants classified them based on the WHO clinical progression scale, highlighting that elderly patients with comorbidities were more likely to develop severe respiratory issues.
- * Certain genetic polymorphisms (-rs1834481, -rs5743708, and -rs4986791) were identified as independent risk factors, suggesting they could serve as molecular predictors for the severity of COVID-19 in infected individuals.

Objective: To investigate the potential associations between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) rs35829419, rs10754558, s4612666, and caspase recruitment domain family member 8 (CARD8) rs2043211 polymorphisms.
Methods: Relevant papers were searched for in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science. Allele contrast, recessive, dominant, and homozygote contrast models were used to investigate the relationship between the NLRP3 rs35829419, rs10754558, and s4612666, and CARD8 rs2043211 polymorphisms and RA.
Effect of NLRP3 inflammasome genes polymorphism on disease susceptibility and response to TNF-α inhibitors in Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a genetically predisposed, systemic, chronic, inflammatory disease. Immune system dysregulation and inherited susceptibility polymorphisms suggest that this type of variation is functional and may help predict disease susceptibility and develop new therapeutic strategies. Anti-TNF-alpha (TNF-α) drugs are highly effective RA treatments, but not all patients respond the same way.
