Genetic association of IL1B gene variants with primary glaucoma in a North Indian Punjabi cohort : An original study and meta-analysis

Interleukin (IL) 1B is an important candidate gene in glaucoma pathogenesis as it affects the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). In the present study, -511T/C and +3953C/T polymorphisms in the IL1B were assessed as genetic risk factors for primary open angle (POAG) and angle closure glaucoma (PACG) in a North Indian Punjabi cohort comprising 867 samples (POAG cases = 307; PACG cases = 133 and controls = 427). Genetic association, diplotype and linkage disequilibrium (LD) analyses were performed. Corrections for confounding variables and multiple testing were applied. An updated meta-analysis was also performed. Pooled OR with 95% CI was calculated for dominant, over dominant, and recessive models. Level of heterozygosity among studies was tested using I2 statistic with fixed or random effect model based on the extent of heterogeneity. For -511T > C polymorphism, a positive association was observed with PACG under dominant (p = 0.038; OR = 0.65; pcorr = 0.011; OR = 0.55) and over dominant models (p = 0.010; OR = 0.59; pcorr = 0.001; OR = 0.46). Significant association of +3953C > T was also observed with POAG under dominant (p = 0.011; OR = 1.46; pcorr = 0.018; OR = 1.48) and PACG under recessive models (p < 0.0001; OR = 4.47; pcorr<0.0001; OR = 4.06). While C-C diplotype provided protection against primary glaucoma (0.67-fold; p = 0.0004), T-T and T-C diplotypes predisposed individuals to higher risk (1.31-fold; p = 0.030 and 1.36-fold; p = 0.022 respectively). In meta-analysis, a significant association between +3453 C>T and POAG was observed under dominant (pooled OR = 1.33, p = 0.0046) and over dominant (pooled OR = 1.25; p = 0.0269) models with overall heterogeneity of 15% and 0% respectively. The study provides strong evidence of IL1B variants in modifying genetic susceptibility to primary glaucoma in the targeted North Indian Punjabi population. Replication of the present findings in other populations, and functional studies are warranted to further assess the relevance of IL1B variants in the pathogenesis of primary glaucoma.
