Association of CCK1 Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Korean

Introduction Cholecystokinin (CCK) belongs to a group of endogenous molecules known as brain-gut neuropeptides and functions as a neuropeptide as well as a gut hormone. It remains unclear whether genetic variation of the CCK receptor plays a role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The aim of this st...

Description
Summary:Introduction Cholecystokinin (CCK) belongs to a group of endogenous molecules known as brain-gut neuropeptides and functions as a neuropeptide as well as a gut hormone. It remains unclear whether genetic variation of the CCK receptor plays a role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The aim of this study was to determine and compare the allele and genotype frequencies of the CCK1 receptor polymorphisms between healthy controls and patients with IBS. Methods Genotyping of 80 patients with IBS (who met the Rome III criteria) and 76 healthy controls was performed. We performed PCR amplification for the CCK1 receptor intron 1 779 T＞C and Exon 1 G＞A. We confirmed polymorphisms by direct sequencing method. Results There was a significantly different trend for genotypic distributions of the CCK1 receptor polymorphism between patients with IBS and healthy controls (p for trend=0.048). The CCK1 receptor intron 1 779 T＞C polymorphic type was more common in patients with ‘IBS-constipation predominant (IBS-C) and IBS-mixed (IBS-M) forms’ (19/31, 61.3%) than healthy controls 32/76, 42.1% adjusted odd ratio 2.43, 95% Confidence interval 1.01-5.86). The genotypic distributions of the CCK1 receptor exon 1 polymorphism were not significantly different between the two groups (p for trend=0.223). Conclusions CCK1 receptor polymorphisms were associated with IBS. In particular, the CCK1 receptor intron 1 779 T＞C polymorphic type was associated with ‘IBS-C and IBS-M’. Further studies are needed in larger number of patients with an even distribution of IBS subtypes. (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2010;16:71-76) KCI Citation Count: 3
