AB  - Despite considerable effort aimed at decreasing the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB), it remains the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal LINE-1 DNA methylation (DNAm), along with DNMT polymorphisms and factors proposed to modulate DNAm, in patients who delivered early preterm. This case-control study included women who delivered spontaneously early preterm (23–336/7 weeks of gestation), and control women. DNAm was analyzed in peripheral blood lymphocytes by quantification of LINE-1 DNAm using the MethyLight method. There was no significant difference in LINE-1 DNAm between patients with early PTB and controls. Among the investigated predictors, only the history of previous PTB was significantly associated with LINE-1 DNAm in PTB patients (β = −0.407; R2 = 0.131; p = 0.011). The regression analysis showed the effect of DNMT3B rs1569686 TT+TG genotypes on LINE-1 DNAm in patients with familial PTB (β = −0.524; R2 = 0.275; p = 0.037). Our findings suggest novel associations of maternal LINE-1 DNA hypomethylation with DNMT3B rs1569686 T allele. These results also contribute to the understanding of a complex (epi)genetic and environmental relationship underlying the early PTB.

AB  - Prevalence of multiple sclerosis varies with geographic latitude. We hypothesized that this fact might be partially associated with the influence of latitude on circadian rhythm and consequently that genetic variability of key circadian rhythm regulators, ARNTL and CLOCK genes, might contribute to the risk for multiple sclerosis. Our aim was to analyse selected polymorphisms of ARNTL and CLOCK, and their association with multiple sclerosis. A total of 900 Caucasian patients and 1024 healthy controls were compared for genetic signature at 8 SNPs, 4 for each of both genes. We found a statistically significant difference in genotype (ARNTL rs3789327, P = 7.5.10(-5); CLOCK rs6811520 P = 0.02) distributions in patients and controls. The ARNTL rs3789327 CC genotype was associated with higher risk for multiple sclerosis at an OR of 1.67 (95% CI 1.35-2.07, P = 0.0001) and the CLOCK rs6811520 genotype CC at an OR of 1.40 (95% CI 1.13-1.73, P = 0.002). The results of this study suggest that genetic variability in the ARNTL and CLOCK genes might be associated with risk for multiple sclerosis.

AB  - Background. Previous studies have shown impaired fibrinolysis in multiple sclerosis (MS) and implicated extracellular proteolytic enzymes as important factors in demyelinating neuroinflammatory disorders. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and its inhibitor (PAI-1) are key molecules in both fibrinolysis and extracellular proteolysis. In the present study, an association of the TPA Alu I/D and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms with MS was analyzed within the Genomic Network for Multiple Sclerosis (GENoMS). Methods. The GENoMS includes four populations (Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, and Bosnian and Herzegovinian) sharing the same geographic location and a similar ethnic background. A total of 885 patients and 656 ethnically matched healthy blood donors with no history of MS in their families were genotyped using PCR-RFLP. Results. TPA DD homozygosity was protective (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.63-0.99, P = 0.037) and PAI 5G5G was a risk factor for MS (OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.01-1.66, P = 0.038). A significant effect of the genotype/carrier combination was detected in 5G5G/I carriers (OR = 1.39 95% CI 1.06-1.82, P = 0.017). Conclusions. We found a significantly harmful effect of the combination of the PAI-1 5G/5G genotype and TPA I allele on MS susceptibility, which indicates the importance of gene-gene interactions in complex diseases such as MS.

AB  - The interleukin 7 receptor alpha single nucleotide polymorphism rs6897932 was identified as a multiple sclerosis susceptibility-modifying polymorphism in genome-wide and gene scan studies, mainly in populations in western countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of interleukin 7 receptor alpha rs6897932 with multiple sclerosis in populations from the Western Balkans: Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. A total of 678 unrelated white patients and 597 unrelated, ethnically matched healthy controls were included in the study. Genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. We found no significant difference in genotype or allele frequencies between controls and patients with multiple sclerosis either separately in Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian populations or in the whole sample from the Western Balkans. The odds ratio for multiple sclerosis in this study was 1.04 (0.86-1.25) for the C allele. It is known that demographic as well as environmental factors have a substantial role in multiple sclerosis development, as well as population genetic background. The results of this study indicate that other types of genome variants should be required for the development and/or progression of multiple sclerosis, which may vary among populations.
