Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate whether TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with susceptibility, severity, or serological markers in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
Patients And Methods: The cases and controls study was conducted between December 2021 and June 2022. TNFAIP3 rs10499194C/T, rs6920220G/A, and rs2230926T/G, PTPN22 rs2476601C/T and rs33996649G/A, and TRAF1-C5 rs10818488G/A polymorphisms were genotyped in 154 female pSS patients (mean age: 45.2±6.8 years) and 313 female control subjects (mean age: 50.3±7.5 years) using the TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay. An association analysis between TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-C5 SNPs and susceptibility, clinical characteristics, and serological markers of pSS was performed. Interactions between TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-C5 SNPs were also evaluated in patients and controls.
Results: The genotype and allele frequencies showed no association with susceptibility, severity, or serological markers of pSS. Nevertheless, several interactions between TNFAIP3 and TRAF1-C5 or TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-C5 genotypes were associated with susceptibility to pSS (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Individual TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-C5 SNPs are not associated with susceptibility, severity, or serological markers of pSS. However, genetic interactions between TRAF1-C5 and TNFAIP3 or TNFAIP3, PTPN22, and TRAF1-C5 SNPs are risk factors for pSS.

: About 40% of early undifferentiated arthritis (UA) progresses to rheumatoid (RA) or other chronic arthritis. Novel diagnostic tools predicting the risk for this progression are needed to identify the patients who would benefit from early aggressive treatment. Evidence on the role of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the development of RA has emerged.

Genetic mutations in various proteins have been implicated with increased risk or severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different population groups. In the present case-control study, we have investigated the risk association of single nucleotide mutations present in some of the highly reported anti-inflammatory proteins and/or cytokines, with RA susceptibility in the Pakistani subjects. The study involves 310 ethnically and demographically similar participants from whom blood samples were taken and processed for DNA extraction.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are reported to be associated with many diseases, including autoimmune diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), about 152 SNPs are reported to account for ~15% of its heritability. These SNPs may result in the alteration of gene expression and may also affect the stability of mRNA, resulting in diseased protein.

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis with systemic signs of inflammation can be encountered in inflammatory bowel disease, Behçet's disease (BD), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In addition, it has been proposed that cases with very early onset in childhood can be underpinned by rare monogenic defects of immunity, which may require targeted treatments. Thus, subjects with early onset recurrent aphthous stomatitis receiving a clinical diagnosis of BD-like or SLE-like disease may deserve a further diagnostic workout, including immunologic and genetic investigations.
