- Abstract
We evaluated the influence of gene polymorphisms of TLR9 (T1237C; T1486C), IL23R (A1142G), and NOD2 SNP8 (R702W), SNP12 (G908R) and SNP13 (1007fs) on outcome of hematopoietic SCT in a homogenous group of 142 AML patients after non-T-cell-depleted myeloablative transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donors. In our retrospective study, we found that TLR9 gene variant at 1486 influenced transplant outcome. Estimated 5-year OS in patients with the CC gene variant of TLR9 was 70.2% compared with 44.8% (P<0.027) in patients with TC/TT of TLR9 gene. No significant influences on 5-year OS were found for gene polymorphisms of NOD2 or IL23R (A1142G) in this study group. The 5-year treatment-related mortality was lowest in patients with CC gene variant of TLR9 (7.8 vs 23.1%; NS). Acute GVHD grade III-IV was higher in patients with NOD2 gene variants (28 vs 12.8%; P=0.065). In contrast, patients transplanted from donors with the gene variant of IL23R had no occurrence of severe acute GVHD grade III-IV (0 vs 18.4%; P<0.048). However, multivariate analysis confirmed the influence of NOD2 gene variants on the occurrence of acute GVHD grade II-IV after transplant. These results suggest that the gene variants of TLR9, NOD2 and Il23R had influence on the outcome of transplant.
