BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that increased expression of glyoxalase I (GLO1) could result in epileptic seizures; thus, this study further explored the association of GLO1 with epilepsy from the perspective of molecular genetics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: GLO1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs1130534, rs4746 and rs1049346) were investigated in cohort I (the initial samples: 249 cases and 289 controls). A replication study designed to confirm the positive findings in cohort I was performed in cohorts II (the additional samples: 130 cases and 191 controls) and I+II. RESULTS: In cohorts I, II and I+II, the CC genotype at rs1049346 T>C exerts a protective effect against both late-onset epilepsy (odds ratio [OR]=2.437, p=0.013; OR=2.844, p=0.008; OR=2.645, p=0.000, q=0.003, respectively) and drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) (OR=2.985, p=0.020; OR=2.943, p=0.014; OR=3.049, p=0.001, q=0.006, respectively). Further analyses in cohort I+II indicate that the presence of the TAC/AAT haplotypes (rs1130534-rs4746-rs1049346) may be used as a marker of predisposition to/protection against DRE (p=0.002, q=0.010; p=0.000, q=0.002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to demonstrate that the GLO1 SNPs are significantly associated with epilepsy. In particular, the rs1049346 T>C SNPs are potentially useful for risk assessment of late-onset epilepsy and DRE.
