Association of <i>ABCA4</i> Gene Polymorphisms with Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate in the Polish Population

Background: Non-syndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common congenital condition with a complex aetiology reflecting multiple genetic and environmental factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in <i>ABCA4</i> have been associated with NSCL/P in several studi...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in <i>ABCA4</i> have been associated with NSCL/P in several studies, although there are some inconsistent results. This study aimed to evaluate whether two SNPs in <i>ABCA4</i>, namely rs4147811 and rs560426, are associated with NSCL/P occurrence in the Polish population. Methods: The study included 627 participants: 209 paediatric patients with NSCL/P and 418 healthy newborn controls. DNA was isolated from the saliva of NSCL/P patients and from umbilical cord blood in the controls. Genotyping of rs4147811 and rs560426 was performed using quantitative PCR. Results: The rs4147811 (AG genotype) SNP in <i>ABCA4</i> was associated with a decreased risk of NSCL/P (odds ratio (OR) 0.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39–0.84; <i>p</i> = 0.004), whereas the rs560426 (GG genotype) SNP was associated with an increased risk of NSCL/P (OR 2.13; 95% CI 1.31–3.48; <i>p</i> = 0.002). Limitations: This study—based on the correlation between single genetic variants and the occurrence of different phenotypes—might have limited power in detecting relevant, complex inheritance patterns. ORs are often low to moderate when investigating the association of single genes with the risk of a complex trait. Another limitation was the small number of available NSCL/P samples. Conclusions: The results suggest that genetic variations in <i>ABCA4</i> are important risk markers of NSCL/P in the Polish population. Further investigation in a larger study group is warranted.Alicja ZawiślakKrzysztof WoźniakXabier AgirreSatish GuptaBeata KawalaAnna Znamirowska-BajowskaKatarzyna GrocholewiczJan LubińskiFelipe ProsperAnna JakubowskaMDPI AGarticlecongenital conditioncleft lipcleft palategenetic variationsingle nucleotide polymorphism<i>ABCA4</i>MedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11483, p 11483 (2021)
