Background: Though the risk of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) genetic variants with uveitis have been developed, the combined results still remain uncertain and controversial.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to estimate the precise association of PTPN22 (rs2488457 and rs2476601) and CTLA-4 (rs231775, rs5742909, rs4553808, and rs3087243) polymorphisms with uveitis susceptibility.

Method: Five electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China Biomedical Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were systematically searched for relevant literature up to July 20, 2021. All statistical analyses were evaluated by Stata 12.0 software and R programming language.

Results: Our meta-results indicated that PTPN22 rs2488457 conferred positive susceptibility to uveitis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02-1.38, p = 0.029). In stratified analysis by ethnicity, the rs2488457 C allele had a growing tendency toward uveitis in the Asian region (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.00-1.45, p = 0.046). For CTLA-4 rs231775, subgroup analysis based on ethnicity manifested a negative association among uveitis individuals in the Africa region (OR = 0.25, 95% CI = 0.19-0.33, p < 0.001). For CTLA-4 rs4553808, subgroup analysis by the disease type revealed that the GG genotype was associated with an elevated risk of Behcet's disease (BD) (OR = 3.22, 95% CI = 1.05-9.90, p = 0.042).

Conclusions: Our research revealed that PTPN22 rs2488457 conferred strong susceptibility to uveitis in general, especially in the Asian region. CTLA-4 rs231775 conveyed protection against uveitis in African populations, and CTLA-4 rs4553808 displayed an increased risk of BD.

Article Synopsis
  • Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, and this study investigates its genetic links, particularly in the Pakistani population, focusing on specific genes like PTPN22, INS, NLRP3, and ICAM-1.
  • The study involved 100 T1D patients and 100 healthy controls, analyzing various genetic polymorphisms through Sanger sequencing to uncover their potential connections to T1D susceptibility.
  • Results revealed that several specific genetic variants, such as those in PTPN22 and NLRP3, showed strong associations with T1D in the Pakistani children studied, highlighting important genetic factors that contribute to the disease in this population.*

Background: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by lymphocytic infiltration, glandular dysfunction and systemic manifestations. Lyp protein is a negative regulator of the T cell receptor encoded by the () gene. Multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene have been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • - The systematic review examines the relationship between specific SNPs (1858 and 1123) in the PTPN22 gene and the risk of developing primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) by analyzing data from various databases up to June 2021.
  • - The meta-analysis revealed that individuals with the TT genotype at SNP1858 are 5.01 times more likely to have ITP compared to those with the CC genotype, while G allele carriers at SNP1123 show a 23% increased risk compared to C allele carriers.
  • - Although the findings are statistically significant, the study highlights limitations in the robustness of the results and suggests that further high-quality research is needed to confirm these associations, as the

The PTPN22 gene encodes the lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase involved in regulation the immune response. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1217388, rs1310182, rs2476601, and rs2488457 are located within the PTPN22 gene. We investigated whether these SNPs in liver transplant donors are associated with acute cellular rejection in the recipients.
