- The study investigates how the rs10754558 polymorphism in the NLRP3 gene relates to hypertension risk in a Chinese adult population.
- Researchers analyzed data from 354 participants, using questionnaires and genetic testing, to explore potential interactions between the gene variant and obesity or family history of hypertension.

Article Abstract
Background: The NLRP3 inflammasome, a pivotal mechanism regulating inflammatory responses and featuring the pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) within the NOD-like receptor family, is widely recognized as a central pathogenic factor in cardiovascular diseases. The present study endeavors to delve into the correlation and potential interplay between the rs10754558 polymorphism of NLRP3 and the predisposition to hypertension among the Chinese adult population.
Methods: All the participants who came from a community in Bengbu, China were investigated by being interviewed with a questionnaire. Overall, 354 paired case-control participants were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from 5ml venous blood using the Tiangen DNA extraction kit. The rs10754558 polymorphism of the NLRP3 gene was genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination real-time PCR.The association between the rs10754558 polymorphism and hypertension risk was investigated by a logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, an additive interaction analysis was conducted using related indicators, including the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP), and synergy index (SI).
Results: Participants carrying the GG genotype were more likely to develop hypertension than participants carrying the CC genotype (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.33-3.52). A significant additive interaction between the NLRP3 polymorphism and obesity status concerning the risk of hypertension was observed, as estimated by all indicators: RERI (1.12, 95% CI: 0.70-1.5), AP (0.34, 95% CI: 0.14-0.53), and SI (1.92, 95% CI: 1.03-3.59). The values of RERI (1.74, 95% CI: 0.37-3.11), AP (0.46, 95% CI: 0.21-0.70), and SI (2.62, 95% CI: 1.18-5.83) showed that a significant interaction between the rs10754558 polymorphism and a family history of hypertension.
Conclusions: Our findings indicate a significant association between the NLRP3 rs10754558 polymorphism and the risk of hypertension in Chinese adults. Moreover, a notable additive interaction emerges between NLRP3 polymorphisms and obesity status, further amplifying the risk of hypertension.

Article Synopsis
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) is linked to neuroinflammatory processes involving the NLRP3 inflammasome, and a study examined the impact of the NLRP3 rs10754558 polymorphism on MDD diagnoses among young adults.
- A population-based study with 1,100 participants found no significant association between the NLRP3 genotype and MDD diagnosis, but a clinical trial showed that individuals with the GG genotype had poorer treatment outcomes compared to those with GC/CC genotypes.
- Longitudinal analyses indicated that GG individuals experienced less improvement in depressive and anxiety symptoms over time, suggesting that this genotype may affect the effectiveness of psychotherapy for MDD.

Background: Although juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common pediatric rheumatologic diseases, the exact etiology of JIA remains unclear. Genetic factors, including variations in the NLRP3 gene, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between NLRP3 polymorphisms and JIA.

Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with an increased susceptibility to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This study investigates the association between genetic polymorphisms in the IL1B and NLRP3 genes, as well as the expression profiles of IL1B, NLRP3, and NLRP1, and the risk of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in TS patients compared to healthy controls. The genetic association analysis included 92 TS patients (case) and 146 healthy controls (HC), evaluating IL1B rs16944, NLRP3 rs10754558 and rs4925659 using TaqMan genotyping assays.

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.*
