Abstract
Background
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and its downstream gene, vascular endothelial factor (VEGF), play an important role in modulating the immune system function and consequently alternation the susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease.
Objective
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the HIF-1α and VEGF gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to SLE.
Methods
The 140 patients and 150 healthy age and gender-matched people as a control group participated in the study. The PCR-RFLP method was used for genotyping.
Results
No remarkable differences in allele frequencies of HIF-1α (rs11549465) and VEGF (rs699947) were seen between the SLE and control groups. The frequencies of CT genotype of the HIF-1α (rs11549465) and CA genotype of VEGF (rs699947) in the control were significantly higher than SLE group (OR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.32–0.53; p = 0.014; OR = 0.57;95% CI = 0.33–0.99; p = 0.046, resp.). In the case of HIF-1α (C111A) polymorphism, the CA and AA variants were not found.
Conclusion
HIF-1α (rs11549465) CT and VEGF (rs699947) CA genotypes were identified as protective factors for SLE. However, additional studies are required to confirm the association between HIF-1α and VEGF polymorphisms and SLE.

期刊介绍:
Meta Gene publishes meta-analysis, polymorphism and population study papers that are relevant to both human and non-human species. Examples include but are not limited to: (Relevant to human specimens): 1Meta-Analysis Papers - statistical reviews of the published literature of human genetic variation (typically linked to medical conditionals and/or congenital diseases) 2Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) - examination of large patient cohorts to identify common genetic factors that influence health and disease 3Human Genetics Papers - original studies describing new data on genetic variation in smaller patient populations 4Genetic Case Reports - short communications describing novel and in formative genetic mutations or chromosomal aberrations (e.g., probands) in very small demographic groups (e.g., family or unique ethnic group). (Relevant to non-human specimens): 1Small Genome Papers - Analysis of genetic variation in organelle genomes (e.g., mitochondrial DNA) 2Microbiota Papers - Analysis of microbiological variation through analysis of DNA sequencing in different biological environments 3Ecological Diversity Papers - Geographical distribution of genetic diversity of zoological or botanical species.
