OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism, HIV, obesity and air pollution exposure influences adverse birth outcome susceptibility, within South African Women.
Reproductive Toxicology 2018 August
The global HIV and obesity epidemics are major public health concerns; particularly as both are associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes. Despite extensive research, their combined effect, in terms of birth outcomes, has not been investigated. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) (Ser326Cys) has been suggested to affect body mass indices and therefore could predispose South African (SA) women to adverse effects of obesity. This study investigated the associations of OGG1 Ser326Cys SNP in relation to HIV and obesity on the susceptibility of low-birthweight (LBW) and pre-term birth (PTB) in SA women exposed to ambient air-pollution living in Durban. In our study population, the OGG1 SNP was associated with HIV and obesity. Wild-type (CC)-carrying patients had increased susceptibility for HIV-associated LBW and PTB. Co-morbid HIV and obese patients delivered neonates with decreased birthweights. Living within the heavily-polluted south-Durban and carrying the CC-genotype increased the risk for PTB within our study population.
