Genetic Polymorphisms Associated With Susceptibility and Outcome in ARDS

Results and Discussions
The frequency of the DD ACE genotype (associated with higher tissue and circulating ACE) was increased in the ARDS group compared to the ICU group (p < 0.005), CABG group (p < 0.005), or UK group (p < 0.01). D allele frequency was also increased in the ARDS group (p < 0.0005 vs CABG group/ICU group, and p < 0.005 vs UK group) and was significantly associated with mortality (Fig 1; p < 0.02). The strength of this association suggests a major role for renin-angiotensin system in the development

Genetics of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Pathways to Precision
2021, Critical Care ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Initial work identified an IL6 locus polymorphism,14,21 which was subsequently expanded to an IL6 haplotype associated with ARDS,22 and this was successfully replicated in a larger targeted study that also replicated other candidate genes in ARDS, including IL10, IRAK3, and VEGFA.23 Other notable candidate genes identified in this fashion include variants in the surfactant protein B (SFTPB) gene,24 as well as the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) locus, both candidates that were tested given their high expression in the lung and potential for regulating lung epithelial or endothelial function, respectively.13,14 Using a medium-throughput candidate gene array, which assayed approximately 2000 candidate genes, replicated associations were also identified for the genes IL1RN,25 the gene that encodes interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist, and ANGPT2,26 the gene encoding angiopoietin-2 protein.
Ethnic and age-specific acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome risk associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphisms, implications for COVID-19: A meta-analysis
2021, Infection, Genetics and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :As the ACE I/D polymorphism is responsible for 20% variance in ACE levels and 50% variance in ACE activity (Rigat et al., 1990), the impact of this single polymorphism on endpoints such as sepsis and ARDS is considerable (Brugts and Den Uil, 2008). In sepsis, the DD genotype was found to be associated with a significantly higher mortality rate and worse disease severity (Harding et al., 2002), and ARDS patients were found to have increased DD genotype frequency and a higher mortality rate (Marshall et al., 2002b). In adults, higher mortality rates and ARDS prevalence in the intensive care unit population were significantly associated with the DD genotype (Jerng et al., 2006; Marshall et al., 2002a).

2014, Clinics in Chest MedicineCitation Excerpt :Although a complete review of the genetic associations with ARDS risk or ARDS mortality is beyond the scope of this article, comprehensive reviews recently have been published.9–11 The best replicated genetic variants for ARDS risk represent the present understanding of ARDS pathophysiology; proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms are well represented (IL6, IL10, IL1RN, MBL2),12–18 as are vascular injury markers (VEGFA, ANGPT2, ACE, MYLK),19–24 innate immunity pathway members (IRAK3, TLR1, NFKB1, NFKBIA, FAS, PI3),5,25–28 and markers of respiratory epithelial injury (SFTPB).29,30 Although each of these associations has been associated with ARDS risk or outcome in at least two populations, none influences ARDS risk or severity to a degree that warrants genetic testing of at-risk populations.
