Introduction Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by impaired gas exchange with a systemic release of inflammatory mediators, hypoxemia, multiple organ failure and high mortality rates (30-50%). The etiology and pathogenesis of ARDS are still not fully understood and there are few effective therapeutic options. It is increasingly recognized that genetic predisposition significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of ARDS. Our objective of this study was to identify novel genetic markers for susceptibility, severity and mortality associated with ARDS. Methods The outcomes of interest in ARDS cases are described in Table 2. three that associated susceptibility (rs78142040, rs9605146, and rs3848719), severity (rs3848719) and outcome (rs78142040) of ARDS(Table 3). Profile of the 3 potential SNP markers are described in Table 4 • rs78142040 (C>T) is suspected to occur within a histone mark in intron 6 of the Arylsulfatase D gene • rs9605146 (G>A) causes a coding change from proline to leucine with a deleterious effect in the XK, Kell blood group complex subunit-related family, member 3 gene. • rs3848719 (G>A) is a synonymous SNP in the 5th exon of the Zinc-Finger/Leucine-Zipper Co- Summary In our study cohort, 49,834 SNPs were common across the ARDS subgroups (all ARDS, Caucasian ARDS, African American ARDS, all sepsis, and all pneumonia) and the 1000 Genomes Project. Of these, the significance level for association with susceptibility was p<0.01 for 156 SNPs, and p<2.95x10 -7 for 102 SNPs 53 of the 102 SNPs were located in coding regions - 24 caused nonsynonymous changes in amino acid coding; 10 of these changes had a negative predicted functional effect. •Of the 27 SNPs analyzed (24 nonsynonymous , 2 synonymous, 1 splice variant), the following SNPs emerged as potential markers to be associated with: Susceptibility: rs78142040, rs9605146, rs3848719 Severity (APACHEII): rs3848719 Outcome (60-day Mortality): rs7814204 Conclusion In our cohort of ARDS patients, we identified three novel genetic biomarkers of susceptibility, severity, and mortality to ARDS. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings in larger populations and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Table 4.

IntroductionAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by impaired gas exchange with a systemic release of inflammatory mediators, hypoxemia, multiple organ failure and high mortality rates (30-50%).

The etiology and pathogenesis of ARDS are still not fully understood and there are few effective therapeutic options.

It is increasingly recognized that genetic predisposition significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of ARDS. Our objective of this study was to identify novel genetic markers for susceptibility, severity and mortality associated with ARDS.

Methods

The outcomes of interest in ARDS cases are described in Table 2.

These three novel SNPs that are associated with susceptibility (rs78142040, rs9605146, and rs3848719), severity (rs3848719) and outcome (rs78142040) of ARDS(Table 3).

Profile of the 3 potential SNP markers are described in Table 4

• rs78142040 (C>T) is suspected to occur within a histone mark in intron 6 of the Arylsulfatase D gene

• rs9605146 (G>A) causes a coding change from proline to leucine with a deleterious effect in the XK, Kell blood group complex subunit-related family, member 3 gene.

• rs3848719 (G>A) is a synonymous SNP in the 5th exon of the Zinc-Finger/Leucine-Zipper Co-Transducer NIF1 gene.

Summary In our study cohort, 49,834 SNPs were common across the ARDS subgroups (all ARDS, Caucasian ARDS, African American ARDS, all sepsis, and all pneumonia) and the 1000 Genomes Project.

• Of these, the significance level for association with susceptibility was p<0.01 for 156 SNPs, and p<2.95x10-7 for 102 SNPs

• 53 of the 102 SNPs were located in coding regions - 24 caused nonsynonymous changes in amino acid coding; 10 of these changes had a negative predicted functional effect.

•Of the 27 SNPs analyzed (24 nonsynonymous , 2 synonymous, 1 splice variant), the following SNPs emerged as potential markers to be associated with:• Susceptibility: rs78142040, rs9605146,

rs3848719• Severity (APACHEII): rs3848719• Outcome (60-day Mortality): rs7814204

ConclusionIn our cohort of ARDS patients, we identified three novel genetic biomarkers of susceptibility, severity, and mortality to ARDS. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings in larger populations and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms.
