Background: Recently, the rs5370 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Endothelin-1 (EDN1) showed association with the susceptibility of childhood primary nephrotic syndrome (CPNS). This study aims to investigate potential relationships between other EDN1 SNPs and CPNS.
Methods: Seven SNPs (rs5370, rs10478723, rs1476046, rs1800541, rs2070698, rs2071942, and rs9296344) of the EDN1 gene were genotyped in 579 CPNS patients and 586 age-matched healthy children. Then, we analyzed potential associations of the six SNPs with susceptibility of CPNS by using rs5370 as a conditional variant in a logistic regression model. SNP-SNP interaction analysis was performed to investigate the joint effects of the seven SNPs in the pathogenesis of CPNS.
Results: Independent with rs5370, only rs9296344 significantly associated (T vs C, odds ratio [OR] = 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.57-0.88, P = .001) with the susceptibility of CPNS. Meanwhile, no joint effect among the analyzed seven SNPs was discovered in this study.
Conclusions: This study discovered that C allele of rs9296344 on EDN1 is a novel independent risk factor for CPNS.
