Polymorphism of Transforming Growth Factor TGFB and Its Receptors TGFBRI, TGFBRII, TGFBRIIII Genes in Western Siberia Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma.
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine 2024 May 12
Polymorphism of genes of transforming growth factor TGFB and its receptors (TGFBRI, TGFBRII, and TGFBRIIII) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma was analyzed. The frequency of the TGFBRII CC genotype in patients is increased relative to the control group (OR=6.10, p=0.0028). Heterozygosity in this polymorphic position is reduced (OR=0.18, p=0.0052). As the effects of TGF-β is mediated through its receptors, we analyzed complex of polymorphic variants of the studied loci in the genome of patients. Two protective complexes consisting only of receptor genes were identified: TGFBRI TT:TGFBRII CG (OR=0.10, p=0.02) and TGFBRII CG:TGFBRIII CG (OR=0.09, p=0.01). The study showed an association of TGFBRII polymorphism with primary open-angle glaucoma and the need to study functionally related genes in the development of the disease, which should contribute to its early diagnosis and prevention.
