Male gender (<i>β</i> = -0.341), rs2294021 variation (<i>β</i> = -0.503), and severe UC</span> (<i>β</i> = 0.361) were independently related to the mRNA expression of <i>FOXP3</i> in UC patients.
The variant alleles of rs3761547, rs2232365, and rs2294021 were less in male patients with stricturing CD compared to those with non-stricturing, non-penetrating CD; however, these variants were frequently detected in male patients with colonic CD than in those with ileocolonic CD.
The relationships between FOXP3 rs3761547, rs3761548, rs3761549, rs2232365, rs2280883, and CCDC22 rs2294021 polymorphisms and clinical outcomes such as acute rejection, TAC-induced acute nephrotoxicity, and pneumonia were investigated by using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariate Cox regression analysis.
Our results suggest that the rs2294021 (CCDC22 gene) polymorphism could be associated with increased susceptibility to endometriosis in Brazilian women when the allele C is present.
Interestingly, multifactor dimension reduction analysis suggested an increased risks of nearly 6-folds for ESRD and 23-folds for ARE cases under the six factors model which consists of tag-SNPs of FOXP3 (rs2232365, rs3761548, rs5902434 and rs2294021) and NF-kB1 (rs28362491 and rs696).
