Deoxyribonucleases (DNases) have been suggested to be implicated in the pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases. In the DNASE1L3 gene encoding human DNase I-like 3 (DNase 1L3), a member of the DNase I family, only two non-synonymous (R178H and R206C) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been examined [Ueki et al., Clin. Chim. Acta 2009, 407, 20-24]. Three other non-synonymous (G82R, K96N, and I243M) and four synonymous (S17S, T84T, R92R, and A181A) SNPs, in addition to R206C and R178H, have been identified in DNASE1L3. We investigated the distribution of all these SNPs in exons of the gene in eight Asian, three African, and three Caucasian populations worldwide using newly devised genotyping methods. SNP T84T showed polymorphism in all the populations, and R92R was polymorphic in the three African and three Caucasian populations; R206C was distributed only in Caucasian populations. In contrast, no minor allele was found in five SNPs (S17S, G82R, K96N, A181A, and I243M) in DNASE1L3. Generally, the DNase 1L3 gene shows relatively low genetic diversity with regard to exonic SNPs. When the effect of amino acid/nucleotide substitutions resulting from the SNPs on DNase 1L3 activity was examined, none of the synonymous SNPs had any effect on the DNase 1L3 activity, whereas among non-synonymous SNPs, SNP G82R diminished the activity of the enzyme, being similar to R206C. These findings permit us to assume that, although only R206 exhibits polymorphisms in a Caucasian-specific manner, at least SNPs G82R and R206C in DNASE1L3 might be potential risk factors for autoimmune disease.
