Association between miR-17-92 gene promoter polymorphisms and depression in a Chinese population

Abstract Background Depression is a common chronic debilitating disease with a heavy social burden. single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can affect the function of microRNAs (miRNAs), which is in turn associated with neurological diseases. However, the association between SNPs located in the promoter region of miR-17-92 and the risk of depression remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the association between rs982873, rs9588884 and rs1813389 polymorphisms in the promoter region of miR-17-92 and the incidence of depression in a Chinese population. Methods we used GWAS (Genome-wide association study) and NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) to screen three SNPs in the miR-17-92 cluster binding sites. A case-control study (including 555 cases and 541 controls) was conducted to investigate the relationship between the SNPs and risk of depression in different regions of China. The gene sequencing ii was used to genotype the collected blood samples. Results the following genotypes were significantly associated with a reduced risk of depression: rs982873 TC (TC vs TT: OR = 0.72, 95% CI, 0.54–0.96, P = 0.024; TC/CC vs TT: OR = 0.74, 95% Cl, 0.56–0.96, P = 0.025); CG genotype of rs9588884 (CG vs CC: OR = 0.74, 95% CI, 0.55–0.98, P = 0.033; CG/GG vs CC: OR = 0.75, 95% Cl, 0.57–0.98, P = 0.036); and AG genotype of rs1813389 (AG vs AA: OR = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.57-1.00, P = 0.049; AG/GG vs AA: OR = 0.76, 95% Cl, 0.59-1.00, P = 0.047). Stratified analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between the three SNPS and variables such as family history of suicidal tendency (P > 0.05). Conclusions our findings suggest that rs982873, rs9588884, and rs1813389 polymorphisms may be associated with protective factors for depression..
