Replication Study of the Association of GAS6 and PROS1 Polymorphisms with Behçet's Disease in a Japanese Population

PURPOSE: To investigate whether polymorphisms of GAS6 and PROS1, which each encode protein ligands for a family of tyrosine kinase receptors, are associated with Behçet's disease (BD) in a Japanese population.

METHODS: We recruited 734 Japanese patients with BD and 1789 Japanese healthy controls. In all participants, we genotyped two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reportedly associated with BD: rs9577873 in GAS6 and rs4857037 in PROS1.

RESULTS: We found that GAS6 rs9577873 was not significantly associated with BD. In contrast, PROS1 rs4857037, specifically the A allele, was associated with increased risk for BD. The A allele was also significantly associated with BD under additive and recessive genetic models. Expression analysis revealed that this allele was significantly associated with increased PROS1 expression.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that increased PROS1 expression related to the A risk allele of rs4857037 affects tyrosine kinase receptor signaling, contributing to the development of BD.
