Abstract | Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common birth defect with a complex and heterogeneous etiology. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) among Chinese populations has identified a new region at 16p13.3 as being associated with NSCL/P, which requires further replication. Here, we attempted to replicate and further clarify the genetic association between this region and NSCL/P, as well as testing for potential gene-gene (G x G) and gene-environment (G x E) interactions. We conducted transmission disequilibrium tests on 69 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to 16p13.3 among 806 Chinese case-parent trios ascertained through an international consortium where a GWAS of oral clefts was conducted. G x G, as well as G x E interactions involving maternal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and multivitamin supplementation, were explored using conditional logistic regression model. We applied Cordell's method as implemented in the R package TRIO to test for possible interactions. While no SNPs showed evidence of linkage and association with NSCL/P after Bonferroni correction, we found signals of G x G interactions between SNPs in 16p13.3. Nine pairs of SNP-SNP interactions attained significance after Bonferroni correction, among which the most significant interaction was found between rs2072346 (ADCY9) and rs11646137 (intergenic region, P = 7.2 x 10(-5)). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis revealed only low level of LD between these SNPs. This study failed to confirm the significant association between SNPs within 16p13.3 and the risk of NSCL/P, but underlined the importance of taking into account potential G x G interactions for the genetic association analysis of NSCL/P. |
