AIM: To determine whether patain-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) affects the severity of hepatic damage, susceptibility and prognosis of liver cirrhosis with various liver diseases.
METHODS: We enrolled 224 Chinese Han patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, of whom 88 had hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis, 83 had alcoholic liver cirrhosis and 53 had hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis. Two hundred healthy volunteers were enrolled as a control group. TaqMan genotyping assay was used to investigate the association of PNPLA3 SNPs (rs738409) with the risk of liver cirrhosis.
RESULTS: The G allele of the PNPLA3 I148M variant was significantly different between alcoholic liver cirrhosis and the control (OR = 1.902, P < 0.001), and was associated with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (OR = 1.452, P = 0.047). There was no significant association between PNPLA3 rs738409 genotype and HCV-related cirrhosis (P = 0.056). There was no correlation between PNPLA3 rs738409 genotype and liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma (P = 0.965).
CONCLUSION: PNPLA3 rs738409 C > G is associated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and HBV-related liver cirrhosis in a Chinese Han population.
