It was commonly believed that CD only affected white Europeans, but recent findings show that it is also prevailing in some other racial groups, like South Asians, Caucasians, Africans, and Arabs. Genetics plays a profound role in increasing the risk of developing CD. Genetic Variations in non-HLA genes such as LPP, ZMIZ1, CCR3, and many more influence the risk of CD in various populations. This study aimed to explore the association between LPP rs1464510 and ZMIZ1 rs1250552 and CD in the Punjabi Pakistani population. For this, a total of 70 human subjects were selected and divided into healthy controls and patients. Genotyping was performed using an in-house-developed tetra-amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between LPP rs1464510 (\u03c72 = 4.421, p = 0.035) and ZMIZ1 rs1250552 (\u03c72 = 3.867, p = 0.049) and CD. Multinomial regression analysis showed that LPP rs1464510 A allele reduces the risk of CD by ~52% (OR 0.48, CI: 0.24\u20130.96, 0.037), while C allele-carrying subjects are at ~2.6 fold increased risk of CD (OR 3.65, CI: 1.25\u201310.63, 0.017). Similarly, the ZMIZ1 rs1250552 AG genotype significantly reduces the risk of CD by 73% (OR 0.26, CI: 0.077\u20130.867, p = 0.028). In summary, Genetic Variations in the LPP and ZMIZ1 genes influence the risk of CD in Punjabi Pakistani subjects. LPP rs1464510 A allele and ZMIZ1 AG genotype play a protective role and reduce the risk of CD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes15070852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]],"date-time":"2024-06-28T03:42:30Z","timestamp":1719546150000},"page":"852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Association of LPP and ZMIZ1 Gene Polymorphism with Celiac Disease in Subjects from Punjab, Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Sumaira","family":"Zulfiqar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40162, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amna","family":"Fiaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40162, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Waqas Ahmed","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40162, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Misbah","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40162, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ansar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40162, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadeem","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology, University of the Punjab, Lahore 42000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Basharat","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, University of Health Sciences, Lahore 42000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Adnan","family":"Masood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Niazi Medical & Dental College Sargodha, Sargodha 40100, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1097\/SGA.0000000000000365","article-title":"Current evidence in the diagnosis and treatment of children with celiac disease","volume":"42","author":"Gallegos","year":"2019","journal-title":"Gastroenterol.
