This study is the first to show an association between the rs2609255 variant of the FAM13A gene and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Further studies on the function of rs2609255 are needed.
BackgroundInterstitial lung disease (ILD) occasionally occurs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and confers a dismal prognosis. We previously reported that a single-nucleotide variant (SNV) of MUC5B was associated with ILD in RA. However, the pathogenesis of ILD in Japanese patients with RA could not be explained solely by this SNV because its frequency is extremely low in the Japanese population. Here, we examined whether a different idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility SNV might be associated with ILD in Japanese patients with RA.MethodsGenotyping of rs2609255 (G/T) in FAM13A was conducted in 208 patients with RA with ILD and 420 without chronic lung disease using TaqMan assays.ResultsA significant association with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in RA was detected for rs2609255 under the allele model (p=0.0092, Pc=0.0276, OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.11) and recessive model for the G allele (p=0.0003, Pc=0.0009, OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.59 to 4.32). FAM13A rs2609255 was significantly associated with UIP in male patients with RA (p=0.0043, OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.52 to 8.73) under the recessive model.ConclusionsThis study is the first to document an association of rs2609255 with ILD in Japanese patients with RA, implicating it in the pathogenesis of UIP, though studies on the function of rs2609255 are warranted.
