Adenosine A2A receptor polymorphisms in Korean patients with systemic sclerosis.
Adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A) regulates inflammation, promotes tissue repair and collagen production by human dermal fibroblasts. We investigated the genetic polymorphisms of ADORA2A in susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc). We genotyped 142 Korean SSc patients and 150 controls for polymorphisms of -1751A/C (rs5996696) and 1976C/T (rs5751876), to cover the promoter and all exon sequences of ADORA2A in Koreans, using TaqMan fluorogenic 5' nuclease assay and single base primer extension assay. Neither -1751A/C nor 1976C/T polymorphism showed difference in the distribution of alleles or genotypes between patients and controls with allele frequency of 89.9% v 91.0% for -1751A (p=0.64) and 56.5% v 54.0% for 1976C (p=0.55). Our findings suggest that the role of ADORA2A in SSc may not be genetically related.
