Reactive metabolites of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs can result in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for drug-induced liver injury. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) - antioxidant response elements (ARE) (Nrf2-ARE) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in protecting liver cells from ROS, inducing enzymes such as phase II metabolizing enzymes and antioxidant enzymes. Based on a Chinese anti-TB treatment cohort, a nested case-control study was performed to explore the association between 13 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in the NRF2, KEAP1, MAFF, MAFK genes in Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and the risk of anti-TB drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) in 314 cases and 628 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) after adjusting weight and usage of hepatoprotectant. Patients carrying the TC genotype at rs4243387 or haplotype C-C (rs2001350-rs6726395) in NRF2 were at an increased risk of ATLI (adjusted OR = 1.362, 95% CI: 1.017-1.824, P = 0.038; adjusted OR = 2.503, 95% CI: 1.273-4.921, P = 0.008, respectively), whereas patients carrying TC genotype at rs2267373 or haplotype C-G-C (rs2267373-rs4444637-rs4821767) in MAFF were at a reduced risk of ATLI (adjusted OR = 0.712, 95% CI: 0.532-0.953, P = 0.022; adjusted OR = 0.753, 95% CI: 0.587-0.965, P = 0.025, respectively). Subgroup analysis also detected a significant association between multiple tagSNPs (rs4821767 and rs4444637 in MAFF, rs4720833 in MAFK) and specific clinical patterns of liver injury under different genetic models. This study shows that genetic polymorphisms of NRF2, MAFF and MAFK may contribute to the susceptibility to ATLI in the Chinese anti-TB treatment population.

A Java based software tool designed to simplify and expedite the process of haplotype analysis by providing a common interface to several tasks relating to such analyses. Haploview currently allows users to examine block structures, generate haplotypes in these blocks, run association tests, and save the data in a number of formats. All functionalities are highly customizable. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software) * LD & haplotype block analysis * haplotype population frequency estimation * single SNP and haplotype association tests * permutation testing for association significance * implementation of Paul de Bakker's Tagger tag SNP selection algorithm. * automatic download of phased genotype data from HapMap * visualization and plotting of PLINK whole genome association results including advanced filtering options Haploview is fully compatible with data dumps from the HapMap project and the Perlegen Genotype Browser. It can analyze thousands of SNPs (tens of thousands in command line mode) in thousands of individuals. Note: Haploview is currently on a development and support freeze. The team is currently looking at a variety of options in order to provide support for the software. Haploview is an open source project hosted by SourceForge. The source can be downloaded at the SourceForge project site.

The graphical user interface allows th e user to easily change the model and view the results without having to edit an input file and rerun the program for every model. The results of a session are stored to a log file. This log can be printed or saved to a file for reviewing at a later date. An option is included to create a text file of the log that can be imported into other documents. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
