Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods and kits for the identification of susceptibility to immunoinflammatory disorders or disorders modulated by IL-1 biologic activity.
  • the method involves the detection of at least one allele in an IL-1 haplotype, such as the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype or the IL-1 (33221461) haplotype, which is associated with inflammatory disorders, such as coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, nephropathy in diabetes mellitus, alopecia areata, Graves disease, systemic lupus erythamatosus, lichen sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, diabetic retinopathy, periodontal disease, juvenile chronic arthritis, particularly chronic iridocyclitis, psoriasis, insulin dependent diabetes in DR3/4 patients, asthma, chronic inflammatory liver diseases, chronic inflammatory lung disease, lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, as well as acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal system, the musculoskeletal system
  • Genetic testing also called genetic screening, genotyping or molecular diagnostics
  • Genetic testing can be defined broadly as the testing of nucleic acid of a patient in an analytical capacity to determine if a patient contains mutations (or alleles or polymorphisms) that either cause or increase susceptibility to a disease state or are in "linkage disequilibrium" with the gene causing a disease state.
  • Linkage disequilibrium refers to the tendency of specific alleles to occur together more frequently than would be expected by chance. Alleles at given loci are in equilibrium if the frequency of any particular set of alleles (or haplotype) is the product of their individual population frequencies. The cause of disequilibrium is often unclear. It can be due to selection for certain allele combinations, or to recent admixture of genetically heterogeneous populations. In addition, in the case of markers that are very tightly linked to a disease gene, an association of an allele (or group of linked alleles) with the disease gene is expected if the disease mutation occurred in the recent past, so that sufficient time has not elapsed for equilibrium to be achieved through recombination events in that small chromosomal region.
  • the IL-1 gene cluster is located on the long arm of human chromosome 2 (2ql3) and contains at least the genes for IL-l ⁇ (ILIA), IL-l ⁇ (IL1B), and the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) within a region of 430 Kb (Nicklin, et al., Genomics 19: 382-4 (1994)).
  • the agonist molecules, IL-l ⁇ and IL-l ⁇ have potent pro-inflammatory activity and are at the head of many inflammatory cascades.
  • IL-6 and IL-8 Their actions, often via the induction of other cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8, lead to activation and recruitment of leukocytes into damaged tissue, local production of vasoactive agents, fever response in the brain and the hepatic acute phase response. All three IL-1 molecules bind to type I and to type II IL-1 receptors, but only the type I receptor transduces a signal to the interior of the cell. In contrast, the type II receptor is shed from the cell membrane and acts as a decoy receptor. The receptor antagonist and the type II receptor, therefore, are both anti- inflammatory in their actions.
  • IL-1 Inappropriate production of IL-1 appears to play a central role in the pathology of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disorder, psoriasis, and others. In addition, there are stable inter-individual differences in the rates of production of IL-1, and some of this variation may be accounted for by genetic differences at IL-1 gene loci (Molvig, et al., Scand. J. Immunol. 27:705-16 (1988); Pociot, et al., Eur. J. Clin. Invest.
  • IL-1 genes are reasonable candidates for determining part of the genetic susceptibility to inflammatory diseases, most of which have a multifactorial etiology with a polygenic component.
  • Certain alleles from the E -l gene cluster are known to be associated with particular disease states. For example, we have shown that IL1RN allele 2 is associated with coronary artery disease, osteoporosis (U.S. Application Nos. 08/813,416, 08/628,282), nephropathy in diabetes mellitus (Blakemore, et al, Hum. Genet. 97(3): 369-74 (1996)), alopecia areata (Cork, et al, J. Invest. Dermatol. 104(5 Supp.): 15S-16S (1995)), Graves disease (Blakemore, et al, J. Clin.
  • IL1RN cluster allele 1 is associated with diabetic retinopathy (GB Application No. 9618960.0).
  • ILIA allele 2 from marker -889 and ILlB(Taq ⁇ ) allele 2 from marker +3953 are associated with periodontal disease (U.S. S/N 08/510,696).
  • the ILIA allele 2 from marker -889 is also associated with juvenile chronic arthritis, particularly chronic iridocyclitis (McDowell, et al, Arthritis Rheum. 38: 221-28 (1995)).
  • the ILlB(Taq ⁇ ) allele 2 from marker +3953 of IL1B is also associated with psoriasis and insulin dependent diabetes in DR3/4 patients (di Giovine, et al, Cytokine 7: 606 (1995); Pociot, et al, EurJ. Clin. Invest. 22: 396-402 (1992)).
  • the present invention provides a novel method for the early prediction of a propensity to develop inflammatory disorders. It also provides kits for the early determination of said propensity and methods for identifying additional alleles that are associated with these diseases or linked (in linkage disequilibrium) with the haplotype.
  • the method of predicting increased risk for diseases modulated by IL-1 biologic activity consists of detecting the presence of one or more alleles of an IL-1 haplotype, or alternatively, the entire haplotype may be detected.
  • the IL-1 haplotype may be the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype, the IL-1 (33441461) haplotype, or any other haplotype from this region.
  • the haplotype is the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype. Having one or more of the alleles in an IL-1 haplotype indicates increased risk for a variety of inflammatory disorders.
  • IL-1 loci genetic component examples include, but are not limited to, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, nephropathy in diabetes mellitus, alopecia areata, Graves disease, systemic lupus erythamatosus, lichen sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, periodontal disease, juvenile chronic arthritis particularly chronic iridocyclitis, psoriasis, insulin dependent diabetes in DR3/4 patients, diabetic retinopathy and other diseases with an IL-1 loci genetic component.

  • Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of identifying additional alleles in linkage disequilibrium with an IL-1 haplotype, for example the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype. Additional alleles from the IL-1 gene cluster can be identified by sequence or restriction enzyme analysis of this region of the DNA. Linkage disequilibrium is then established by typing two loci and comparing the observed and expected haplotype frequencies, where the expected frequencies under the null hypothesis of no association are the products of the individual allele frequencies. This comparison can be done using the E.H. program of Xie and Ott (Handbook of Human Genetic Linkage, 1994, John Hopkins University Press, 188-98).

It is also possible that multiple mutations might each partially contribute to disease states for diseases of complex origin. Thus, if the mutations are additive or synergistic, the detection of these mutations would indicate even higher risk for the disease.
  • the presence of disease-associated alleles in linkage disequilibrium will allow the diagnostic testing of more than one allele, which will help to eliminate the possibility of false positive results.
  • Techniques for determining the presence of particular alleles may be nucleic acid techniques based on size or sequence, such as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), nucleic acid sequencing, or hybridization.
  • RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism
  • Amplification techniques are known to those of skill in the art and include cloning, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), polymerase chain reaction of specific alleles (PAS A), polymerase chain ligation. nested polymerase chain reaction, and the like. Amplification products may be assayed in a variety of ways, including size analysis, restriction digestion followed by size analysis, detecting specific tagged ohgonucleotide primers in the reaction products, allele-specific ohgonucleotide (ASO) hybridization, sequencing, hybridization, and the like.
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • PAS A polymerase chain reaction of specific alleles
  • ASO allele-specific ohgonucleotide
  • PCR based detection means include multiplex amplification of a plurality of markers simultaneously. For example, it is well known in the art to select PCR primers to generate PCR products that do not overlap in size and can be analyzed simultaneously. Alternatively, it is possible to amplify different markers with primers that are differentially labeled and thus can each be detected. One means of analyzing multiple markers involves labeling each marker with a different fluorescent probe. The PCR products are then analyzed on a fluorescence based automated sequencer. Of course, hybridization based detection allows the differential detection of multiple markers.
  • Allele detection techniques may be protein based if a particular allele produces a protein with an amino acid variant. For example, epitopes specific for the amino acid variant can be detected with monoclonal antibodies. Likewise, it is possible to detect alleles if they are present in processed RNA by techniques that are known in the art.

  • Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of identifying additional alleles in linkage with an IL-1 haplotype, for example the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype. Additional alleles from the IL-1 gene cluster can be identified by sequence analysis of this region of the DNA. Altematively, additional alleles can be identified by restriction enzyme analysis (for methods of identifying novel markers, see McDowell, et al, Br. J.
  • the invention is also directed to methods for identifying additional inflammatory disorders that are associated with alleles from an IL-1 haplotype. Groups of patients with and without disease are genotyped and compared. In this way it is possible to show that the haplotype is associated with new inflammatory disorders.
  • the following example illustrates embodiments of the invention, but should not be viewed as limiting the scope of the invention.
  • the primer sequences and fluorescent labels used in PCR amplification of markers were as in Table 2.
  • PCR products were examined by agarose gel electrophoresis and the remainder of the PCR products were pooled according to the intensity of ethidium bromide staining. 2 ⁇ l of the pool was analyzed on an ABI 373 A automated sequencer and allele sizes were determined using the Genescan and Genotyper software. Alleles were globally binned using a simple computer program and numbered in order of size.
  • Allele 1 produces 83 and 16 bp fragments. Allele 2 produces a 99 bp fragment.
  • Allele 2 produces a 304 bp fragment when digested with Aval and 190 and 114 bp fragments when digested with Bsu36I.
  • VNTR PCR products were sized by electrophoresis on 2% agarose gel at 90V for 45 minutes. Allele 1 has 4 repeats and the PCR product is 412 bp, allele 2 has 2 repeats and the PCR product is 240 bp, allele 3 has 3 repeats and the PCR product is 326 bp, allele 4 has 4 repeats and the PCR product is 498 bp, allele 5 has 6 repeats and the PCR product is 584 bp.
  • Intergenic distances were determined by estimation based on the insert sizes of relevant PAC clones from a contig spanning the IL-1 gene cluster (Nicklin, et al, Genomics 19:
  • Example 2 Method for Estimating Linkage Disequilibrium Because four of the markers studied herein are multiallelic, a preliminary analysis was carried out to determine which allelic combinations between pairs of loci contributed to the greatest disequilibrium, in order that the disequilibrium would not be masked when the alleles were grouped into biallelic systems.
  • the E.H. program of Xie and Ott (Handbook of Human Genetic Linkage, 1994, John Hopkins University Press, 188-98), incorporated by reference herein, was used to estimate haplotype frequencies under H 0 (no linkage) and H [ (allelic linkage allowed).
  • haplotype count the probability of each set was calculated and used as a "partial" count. In this way the ambiguous genotypes were also haplotype counted, and the total counts (ambiguous plus unambiguous) constituted the O' y 's used in ⁇ y . Once established, the magnitude and sign of the ⁇ 's were used to determine which allelic combinations showed greatest deviation from the null hypothesis of no association. This information was used to group alleles at the multiallelic loci into biallelic systems to enable efficient use of the E.H. program.
  • Example 3 Estimation of Linkage Disequilibrium in the I -1 Gene Cluster A number of biallelic and multiallelic markers in and around the IL-1 genes have been identified. However, the extent of linkage disequilibrium between the markers, and the prevalence of multimarker haplotypes in the general population have not until now been identified.
  • Figure 1 shows the relative positions of the 8 marker loci used in this study. DNA samples from 212 unrelated healthy volunteers were genotyped for each of these markers, and the resulting estimates of allele frequencies are shown in Table 4.
  • Table 6 shows the power to detect 50% D max for each locus combination, and the p values for each corresponding D.
  • D was calculated for all the comparisons involving 222/223 using two additional grouping strategies. The first of these was a "common allele versus the rest" approach, and the second was a grouping based on allele size, using the bimodal distribution of allele frequency versus size which was observed for all the multiallelic markers examined. The results of this analysis are shown in Table 7, where D values for the three grouping methods are compared. Table 7. D values for three methods of grouping alleles at the multiallelic marker loci
  • the method could be simplified, in a sufficiently large study, by just considering the unambiguous haplotypes when determining the grouping.
  • the determination of ⁇ y - uses the maximum amount of prior knowledge for the grouping of the multiallelic markers, and this may be the reason why disequilibrium between almost all pairwise combinations of markers was detected.
  • the two haplotypes containing all 8 markers, as well as other shorter haplotypes, are of particular interest since it is likely that particular combinations of alleles of the IL-1 genes may act in concert to determine an overall inflammatory phenotype.
  • An understanding of which markers are in strong linkage disequilibrium not only allows for more rational design of genetic studies but also may provide clues to disease mechanism.
  • Additional alleles may also be part of the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype. We have previously shown that 5 novel markers were associated with allele 2 of the VNTR marker of the
  • ILIRN gene (Clay, et al, Hum. Genet. 97: 723-6 (1996)). It is probable that these five alleles are in linkage disequilibrium, although confirmation by statistical analyses has not yet been performed.
  • the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype may also include these five markers.
  • Guasch found 3 additional alleles in ILIRN (Guasch, et al, Cytokine 8: 598-602 (1997)) which appeared at the same frequencies in a small sample (12 individuals).
  • One of the Guasch alleles (the Mspl allele) is the 8006 allele of the Clay study. Therefore, the additional two alleles by Guasch (Mwol and Sspl alleles) may be part of the IL-1 (4112332) haplotype discovered herein. However, this should be confirmed as described herein because the very small sample size may have produced misleading results.
  • the IL-1 (44112332) haplotype may contain the following alleles: allele 2 of the 1731 marker of the ILIRN gene (A at position 1731) allele 2 of the 1812 marker of the ILIRN gene (A at position 1812) allele 2 of the 1868 marker of the ILIRN gene (G at position 1868) allele 2 of the 1887 marker of the ILIRN gene (C at position 1887) allele 2 of the 8006 marker of the ILIRN gene (contains a Hpall or Mspl site) allele 2 of the 8061 marker of the ILIRN gene (lacks a Mwol site) allele 2 of the 9589 marker of the ILIRN gene (contains an Sspl site)
