BackgroundRecent research suggests that genetic variants in the tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFRSF1B) gene may have an impact on susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and drug response. The present population-based case-control study was carried out to evaluate whether 5 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the TNFRSF1B gene are associated with the risk of RA and response to antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs.MethodsThe study population included 1412 RA patients and 1225 healthy controls. A subset of 596 anti-TNF-naive RA patients was selected to assess the association of TNFRSF1B SNPs and drug response according to the EULAR response criteria.ResultsWe found that carriers of the TNFRSF1B(rs3397C) allele had a significantly increased risk of developing RA (P=0.0006). Importantly, this association remained significant after correction for multiple testing. We also confirmed the lack of association of the TNFRSF1B(rs1061622) SNP with the risk of RA in the single-SNP analysis (P=0.89), but also through well-powered meta-analyses (P-DOM=0.67 and P-REC=0.37, respectively). In addition, our study showed that carriers of the TNFRSF1B(rs3397C/C), TNFRSF1B(rs1061622G/G), and TNFRSF1B(rs1061631A/A) genotypes had an increased risk of having a worse response to anti-TNF drugs at the level of P less than 0.05 (P=0.014, 0.0085 and 0.028, respectively). We also observed that, according to a log-additive model, carriers of the TNFRSF1B(rs3397C) or TNFRSF1B(rs1061622G) alleles showed an increased risk of having worse response to anti-TNF medications (P=0.018 and 0.0059). However, the association of the TNFRSF1B(rs1061622) SNP only reached marginal significance after correction for multiple testing according to a log-additive model (P=0.0059) and it was not confirmed through a meta-analysis (P-DOM=0.12).ConclusionOur results suggest that the TNFRSF1B(rs3397) variant may play a role in modulating the risk of RA, but does not provide strong evidence of an impact of TNFRSF1B variants in determining response to anti-TNF drugs.
