아포지질단백질 E 유전자 다형성 분석에 의한 한국인 특이적 정상안압 녹내장 발병 위험도 판별방법Korean-specific normal-tension glaucoma risk assessment method by apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism analysis

본 발명은 아포지질단백질 E 유전자 다형성 분석에 의한 한국인 특이적 정상안압 녹내장 발병 위험도 판별방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for determining the risk of developing normal tension glaucoma specific to Koreans by analyzing apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism.

녹내장은 시야 결손을 동반한 녹내장성 시신경 손상을 특징으로 하는 퇴행성 및 진행성 시신경병증이다. 전 세계적으로 녹내장은 시야 손실과 실명의 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 최근 연구에 따르면 개방각 녹내장(OAG)은 표현형 및 유전적으로 이질적이며 사실상 다유전자성이라는 것이 밝혀진 바 있다.Glaucoma is a degenerative and progressive optic neuropathy characterized by glaucomatous optic nerve damage with visual field defects. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of visual field loss and blindness worldwide. Recent studies have shown that open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous and is polygenic in nature.

증가된 안압(increased intraocular pressure, IOP)은 녹내장 진단에 필수적인 요소는 아니다. 한국인에게 정상안압 녹내장(normal tension glaucoma, NTG)은 녹내장의 가장 흔한 아형이다. 다양한 인종 집단에 대한 연구 결과에 따르면 정상안압 녹내장과 고안압 녹내장은 일부 유전적 위험 요소를 공유하지만 유전적 변이에 따라 녹내장과의 연관성이 다를 수 있다.Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is not an essential factor in the diagnosis of glaucoma. Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is the most common subtype of glaucoma in Koreans. Studies of various ethnic groups have shown that NTG and NTG share some genetic risk factors, but the association with glaucoma may differ depending on genetic variation.

한편, 아포지질단백질 E(APO E)의 단일염기다형성(SNP)이 개방각 녹내장과 정상안압 녹내장에 미치는 영향은 아직까지 논란이 되고 있으며, 기존 보고에 따르면 APOE e3/e4 대립유전자는 이미 알츠하이머병에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다.Meanwhile, the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of apolipoprotein E (APOE) on open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma is still controversial, and according to previous reports, the APOE e3/e4 allele is already known to have a significant effect on Alzheimer's disease.

이에 본 발명자들은 한국인 코호트에서 정상안압 녹내장의 발병률과 APOE 일배체형(haplotype)과의 연관성을 조사하였으며 이들의 유의적인 연관성이 있는 것을 확인하여 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention investigated the correlation between the incidence of normal tension glaucoma and APOE haplotype in a Korean cohort and confirmed a significant correlation, thereby completing the present invention.

본 발명의 다른 목적은 rs449647, rs769446, rs405509, rs429358 및 rs7412으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 어느 하나 이상의 단일염기다형성(SNP)을 포함하는 한국인의 정상안압 녹내장(normal tension glaucoma) 판별용 바이오마커 조성물을 제공하는 것이다.Another object of the present invention is to provide a biomarker composition for determining normal tension glaucoma in Koreans, comprising at least one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) selected from the group consisting of rs449647, rs769446, rs405509, rs429358, and rs7412.

본 발명의 다른 목적 및 이점은 하기의 발명의 상세한 설명, 청구범위 및 도면에 의해 보다 명확하게 된다.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the invention, the claims and the drawings which follow.

본 발명에서 다형성(polymorphism)은 하나의 유전자좌(locus)에 두 가지 이상의 대립 유전자 (allele)가 존재하는 경우를 말하며 다형성 부위 중에서, 사람에 따라 단일염기만이 다른 것을 단일염기다형성(single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP)이라 한다. 바람직한 다형성 마커는 선택된 집단에서 1% 이상, 더욱 바람직하게는 5% 또는 10% 이상의 발생 빈도를 나타내는 두 가지 이상의 대립 유전자를 가진다. 따라서, 다형성 마커에 대한 유전적 연관 (genetic association)은 특정한 다형성 마커의 하나 이상의 특정한 대립형질에 대해 연관이 있다는 것을 의미한다. 마커는 단일염기다형성(SNP), 마이크로새틀라이트 (microsatellite), 삽입, 결실, 중복 및 전위 (translocation)를 포함한, 게놈에서 발견되는 임의의 변이 형태의 대립형질을 포함할 수 있다.In the present invention, polymorphism refers to a case where two or more alleles exist at one locus, and among the polymorphic sites, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that differs only by a single base depending on the individual is called a single nucleotide polymorphism. A preferable polymorphic marker has two or more alleles that exhibit an occurrence frequency of 1% or more, more preferably 5% or 10% or more in a selected population. Therefore, genetic association for a polymorphic marker means that there is an association for one or more specific alleles of a specific polymorphic marker. A marker may include any variant form of an allele found in a genome, including a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a microsatellite, an insertion, a deletion, a duplication, and a translocation.

본 발명에서 대립 유전자(allele) 또는 대립 형질은 상동 염색체의 동일한 유전자좌에 존재하는 한 유전자의 여러 타입을 말한다. 대립 유전자는 다형성을 나타내는데 사용되기도 하며, 예컨대, SNP는 두 종류의 대립 인자 (biallele)를 갖는다.In the present invention, an allele or biallelic trait refers to multiple types of a gene existing at the same locus of a homologous chromosome. An allele is also used to indicate polymorphism, for example, a SNP has two types of alleles.

본 발명에서 rs_id는 1998년부터 SNP 정보를 축적하기 시작한 NCBI가 초기에 등록되는 모든 SNP에 대하여 부여한 독립된 표지자인 rs-ID를 의미한다. 본 발명에서는 rs2946370과 같은 형태로 기재하였다. 이와 같은 표에 기재된 rs_id는 본 발명의 다형성 마커인 SNP 마커를 의미한다. 당업자라면 상기 rs_id를 이용하여 SNP의 위치 및 서열을 용이하게 확인할 수 있을 것이다. In the present invention, rs_id means rs-ID, an independent marker assigned to all initially registered SNPs by NCBI, which began accumulating SNP information in 1998.

The primer of the present invention can be chemically synthesized using a method known in the art, such as, for example, a phosphoramidite solid support method.

본 발명에서 상기 프로브는 mRNA와 특이적으로 결합할 수 있는 수개 내지 수백 개의 염기로 이루어진 RNA 또는 DNA 등의 핵산 단편을 의미하며 라벨링되어 있어 특정 mRNA의 존재유무를 확인할 수 있다. 프로브는 올리고뉴클레오타이드 프로브, 단쇄 DNA 프로브, 이중쇄 DNA 프로브, RNA 프로브 등의 형태로 제작될 수 있고 비오틴, FITC, 로다민, DIG 등으로 표지되거나 방사선 동위 원소 등으로 표지될 수 있다.In the present invention, the probe refers to a nucleic acid fragment such as RNA or DNA consisting of several to several hundred bases that can specifically bind to mRNA and is labeled so that the presence or absence of a specific mRNA can be confirmed. The probe can be produced in the form of an oligonucleotide probe, a single-stranded DNA probe, a double-stranded DNA probe, an RNA probe, etc., and can be labeled with biotin, FITC, rhodamine, DIG, etc., or labeled with a radioisotope, etc.

본 발명에서 상기 프로브는 검출 가능한 물질 예를 들면, 적합한 신호를 제공하고 충분한 반감기를 갖는 방사성 표지로 표지할 수 있다. 표지된 프로브는 문헌 (Sambook et al., Molecular Cloning, A LaboratoryMannual, 1989)에 공지된 바와 같은 고체 지지체 상의 핵산에 혼성화시킬 수 있다.In the present invention, the probe may be labeled with a detectable substance, for example, a radioactive label that provides a suitable signal and has a sufficient half-life. The labeled probe may be hybridized to a nucleic acid on a solid support as described in the literature (Sambook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 1989).

본 발명에서 상기 프로브는 대립유전자 특이적 프로브로서, 핵산 단편 중에 다형성 부위가 존재하여, 하나의 대립유전자를 포함한 핵산 단편에는 혼성화하지만, 다른 대립유전자를 포함한 핵산 단편에는 혼성화하지 않을 수 있다. 이 경우 혼성화 조건은 대립형질 간의 혼성화 강도에 있어서 유의한 차이를 보여 대립형질 중 하나에만 혼성화되도록 충분히 엄격해야 한다. 바람직하게는 프로브는 혼성화에서의 최대 효율을 위하여 단일 가닥일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다.In the present invention, the probe is an allele-specific probe, and since there is a polymorphic site in the nucleic acid fragment, it may hybridize to a nucleic acid fragment including one allele but not to a nucleic acid fragment including the other allele. In this case, the hybridization conditions must be sufficiently stringent so that there is a significant difference in hybridization intensity between the alleles and hybridize to only one of the alleles. Preferably, the probe may be single-stranded for maximum efficiency in hybridization, but is not limited thereto.

이러한 결과는 정상안압 녹내장에서 APOE SNP의 역할에 대한 새로운 시각을 제시하고 특정 일배체형을 가진 사람들을 위해 미래의 임상 환경에서 5 SNP 일배체형 분석이 사용될 수 있음을 증명하므로, 이러한 특정 일배체형의 보호 효과는 녹내장의 임상 결과 및 위험도를 판별하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.These results provide new insight into the role of APOE SNPs in normal-tension glaucoma and demonstrate that 5-SNP haplotype analysis could be used in future clinical settings for individuals with specific haplotypes, thereby confirming that the protective effect of these specific haplotypes could be useful in determining clinical outcome and risk of glaucoma.
