This haplotype-based case-control study investigated whether the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) might be implicated in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension in Yi (226 individuals) and Hani (296 individuals) minorities of China. Four tag SNPs (rs4536, rs4545, rs3097, and rs3802230) and the K173R polymorphism were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. In the Hani minority, rs4536 was significantly associated with hypertension, after Bonferroni correction. H9 AGGC constructed by tag SNPs was significantly higher in hypertensives than in controls (P?=?0.001). Further, we observed that haplotype AGGC remained significantly associated with male hypertension after adjustment for covariates (OR?=?3.76, P?=?0.002). In the Yi minority, it was found that the CYP11B2 gene was not significantly associated with hypertension. These results indicated that haplotype AGGC conferred an increased risk for hypertension in the Hani minority male. In addition, CYP11B2 may not be associated with hypertension in the Yi minority of China. 相似文献

A case–control study of 538 individuals investigated whether the angiotensinogen gene (AGT) might be implicated in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension in the Hani and Yi populations of China. Genotypes for two diallelic DNA polymorphisms observed at amino acid residues 174 (T174M) and 235 (M235T) within the coding sequence were determined. M235T and T174M genotyping with PCR-RFLP was performed in 267 normotensive subjects and 271 hypertensive subjects. No significant difference was found between normotensives and hypertensives in genotype distribution and allele frequency for either M235T or T174M in the Hani or the Yi populations (P > 0.05). Relative to carriers of the 235T/235T and 174T/174T combination, the others had a significantly elevated risk of hypertension (OR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.02–2.59; P = 0.043) in the Hani population. The AGT M235T and T174M variants in combination may play a role in the genetic predisposition to develop essential hypertension in the Hani minority of China. 相似文献

The human plasma kallikrein gene (KLKB1) encodes plasma kallikrein, a serine protease that catalyzes the release of kinins
and other vasoactive peptides and may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In this study, we performed a haplotype-based
study to assess the effect of common genetic variation in the KLKB1 gene on the risk of essential hypertension. Eight common
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected from the HapMap database and used to determine the pattern of linkage
disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype structure within the KLKB1 gene. Four tag SNPs were then identified with over 85% power
to predict both common haplotypes and remaining common SNPs, and genotyped in 1,317 cases with essential hypertension and
1,269 healthy controls. Single SNP analyses indicated that SNPs rs2304595 and rs4253325 were significantly associated with
hypertension, adjusted for covariates. Compared with the most common Hap2 CAGC, Hap1 AGAC and Hap3 CGAC, which carry the susceptible
rs2304595 G allele and rs4253325 A allele, were found to significantly increase the risk of essential hypertension with adjusted
odds ratios equal to 1.37 and 1.17, respectively (P < 0.0001 and 0.028). A strongly significant interaction with gene-drinking was also observed. Among drinkers, the adjusted
OR for Hap1 relative to Hap2 was increased to 2.50 (95% CI, 2.40 to 2.61; P < 0.0001). This was the first study to perform association analysis of the KLKB1 gene with essential hypertension. Our findings
suggested that common genetic variation in the KLKB1 gene might contribute to the risk of hypertension in the northern Han
Chinese population.

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure homeostasis and vascular integrity. Polymorphisms in the eNOS gene have been found to be associated with hypertension in different human populations, including Northern and Southern Chinese Han populations. To examine the relationship of three eNOS gene polymorphisms, T-786C (rs2070744), G894T (rs1799983), and G10T (rs7830), with hypertension in the Han population in southwestern China, we carried out a study of the genotypes of three SNPs in 510 hypertensive and 510 normotensive subjects from the Yunnan Province by using PCR-RFLP and sequencing. Our SNP analyses showed that the distribution of the T-786C polymorphism did not differ between patients and controls, and that G894T and G10T are significantly associated with hypertension in females, adjusted for covariates. Compared with the other haplotypes, haplotype H1 (TGG), carrying protective 10G and 894G alleles, significantly decreased the risk of increased essential hypertension in females, with an odds ratio of 0.68 (P = 10(-5)). These results suggest that the eNOS polymorphism is one of the factors contributing to the predisposition for essential hypertension in the Han population in southwestern China. 相似文献

Objective
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK-4) encodes a kinase that is essential for NF-kB activation in Toll-like receptor and T-cell receptor signaling pathways, indicating a possible crosstalk between innate and acquired immunities. We attempted to determine whether the polymorphisms in the Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK-4) gene are associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) in the Han Chinese population.Methods
A population of 379 patients with AR and 333 healthy controls was studied. Blood was drawn for DNA extraction and total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE). A total of 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IRAK-4 were selected and individually genotyped.Results
Significant allelic differences between cases and controls were obtained for the SNP of rs3794262 in the IRAK-4 gene. In the stratified analysis for gender, two SNPs (rs4251431 and rs6582484) in males appeared as significant associations. Subgroup analysis for the presence of different allergen sensitivities displayed associations only in the house dust mite-allergic cohorts (rs3794262, rs4251481). None of the selected SNPs in IRAK-4 was associated with total IgE level. The haplotype analyisis indicated GCCTGCGA was significantly associated with AR. The SNP-SNP interaction information analysis indicated that the selected sets of polymorphisms had no synergistic effect.Conclusions
Our findings did not support the potential contribution of the IRAK-4 gene to serum IgE levels. However, the results demonstrated a gender- and allergen-dependant association pattern between polymorphisms in IRAK-4 and AR in Chinese population. 相似文献6.

Mannose receptor is a member of the C-type lectin receptor family involved in pathogen molecular pattern recognition and thought to be critical in shaping host immune responses and maintaining homeostasis. The aim of this study was to investigate potential associations of genetic variants in the MRC1 gene with asthma in two independent populations. Seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2477637, rs2253120, rs2477631, rs2477664, rs692527, rs1926736, and rs691005) in the MRC1 gene locus were genotyped and evaluated regarding association with asthma in 870 unrelated Japanese subjects (446 asthmatics, 424 controls). The same markers were validated in 176 unrelated African–American subjects (86 asthmatics, 90 controls). Suggestive evidence of association between five SNPs (rs2477637, rs2253120, rs2477664, rs692527, and rs1926736) and asthma was observed in the analysis of the Japanese population independent of sex, age, smoking status, and atopic status. SNPs rs692527 and rs691005 showed significant association with asthma in the African–American population. Haplotypes containing two linked SNPs (rs692527 and rs1926736) were significantly associated with asthma in both Japanese and African–American populations. Our results suggest that sequence variations in the MRC1 gene are associated with the development of asthma in two independent and ethnically diverse populations. 相似文献

YKL-40 was reported to be associated with the risk of hypertension. Whether the variants of CHI3L1 gene were associated with both YKL-40 levels and hypertension needs to be further elucidated. In a 1:1 matched case-control study of 507 pairs with available YKL-40 levels and DNA samples nested in a prospective cohort of Chinese subjects, the 15 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CHI3L1 gene were genotyped. The levels of YKL-40 among different genotypes of each SNP were compared after false discovery rate adjustment. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between the genotypes and the risk of hypertension. Subjects with the genetic variants for rs10399931, rs1538372, rs2071580, rs2297839 and rs4950928 had lower YKL-40 levels. The genetic variant for rs10399805 was associated with higher YKL-40 level. Subjects with the genotype of GA/AA of rs10399805 had a 1.34-fold risk of hypertension compared with those with GG genotype in the total population (P = .05). Subjects with heterozygote/rare homozygote genotype of rs4950928 and rs2297839 both had a significantly lower risk of hypertension compared with those with major homozygote genotype among men. The ORs (95% CIs) were 0.46 (0.23-0.89) and 0.49 (0.26-0.91), respectively. The above three SNPs could significantly improve the accuracy of risk prediction for hypertension based on the conventional factors. The genotypes of rs10399805, rs4950928 and rs2297839 may hopefully become stable biomarkers for predicting the risk of hypertension. 相似文献

Background
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and genetic variation of CRP gene have been reported as a strong, independent predictor of myocardial infarction and stroke. But there is rare association evidence of CRP genetic variation and hypertension (HT).Methods
A community-based case–control study including 1331 cases with HT and 1400 controls was used to evaluate the association of tagSNPs covered CRP gene, CRPP1 gene and 40 kb upstream with HT in a Chinese Han population. Haplotypes and stratification analysis were applied to further evaluate relationships between the screened SNPs and HT and general linear model (GLM) was applied to compare blood pressure levels between genotypes.Results
In stage 1, five SNPs had positive association with HT (P < 0.05) and entered stage 2 and two SNPs rs876537 and rs10737175 polymorphisms showed significant association with HT in joint sample. Haplotype analysis showed that comparing with common haplotype T–C which was constructed by rs6677719 and rs10737175, haplotype T–T significantly associated with HT after adjusted covariates. Stratification analysis found significant associations of HT for rs876537, rs2808630, rs6677719 and rs10737175 in ≥ 50 years group, rs876537, rs10737175 in female, rs876537 and rs10737175 in non-smoking and non-drinking populations as well as rs2808630 in non-drinking population. Furthermore, quantitative trait analysis indicated significant differences of SBP and DBP between the genotypes of rs10737175, rs876537 and rs2808630 in non-treatment hypertensive cases and control population.Conclusions
The findings of this study support that CRP gene polymorphisms have significant association with genetic susceptibility of HT and quantitative traits of blood pressure. 相似文献10.
Background
Potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily, member 1 (KCNQ1) is thought to be an important candidate gene of diabetes. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a 40-kb linkage disequilibrium (LD) block in its intron 15 have been identified to be associated with diabetes in East Asian populations in recent genome-wide association studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether KCNQ1 polymorphisms influence the levels of the metabolic phenotypes in general Chinese populations.Methodology/Principal Findings
We investigated the associations of two SNPs (rs2237892 and rs2237895) in the aforementioned 40-kb LD block, a missense variant rs12720449 (P448R) in exon 10, and a synonymous variant rs1057128 (S546S) in exon 13 with metabolic phenotypes in a Uyghur population (n = 478) and replicated these associations in a Han population (n = 2,485). We found that rs2237892-T allele was significantly associated with decreased triglyceride levels (pcombined = 0.001). The minor G allele of the rs12720449, with sharp difference of the allelic frequency between European and East Asian populations (0.2% versus 14%, respectively), was associated with a lower triglyceride levels than G allele in Uyghur subjects (p = 0.004), in Han subjects (p = 0.052), and in subjects of meta-analysis (pcombined = 0.001). Moreover, the minor A allele of the rs1057128 was also associated with decreased triglyceride levels in meta-analysis (pcombined = 0.010).Conclusions
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report associating a missense mutation of KCNQ1, rs12720449, with triglyceride levels. Rs2237892, representing the 40-kb LD block, is also associated with triglyceride levels in Han population. Further studies are required to replicate these findings in other East Asian populations. 相似文献11.

Background
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene plays a key role in tumor survival, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastatic spread. Recent studies showed that gastric cancer (GC) was associated with polymorphisms of the EGFR gene and environmental influences, such as lifestyle factors. In this study, seven known SNPs in EGFR exons were investigated in a high-risk Chinese population in Jiangsu province to test whether genetic variants of EGFR exons and lifestyle are associated with an increased risk of GC.Methodology/Principal Findings
A hospital-based case-control study was performed in Jiangsu province. The results showed that smoking, drinking and preference for salty food were significantly associated with the risk of GC. The differences of lifestyle between males and females might be as the reason of higher incidence rates in males than those in females. Seven exon SNPs were genotyped rs2227983,rs2072454,rs17337023,rs1050171,rs1140475, rs2293347, and rs28384375. It was noted that the variant rs2072454 T allele and TT genotype were significantly associated with an increased risk of GC. Interestingly, our result suggested the ACAGCA haplotype might be associated with decreased risk of GC. However, no significant association was examined between the other six SNPs and the risk of GC both in the total population and the age-matching population even with gender differences.Conclusions
Smoking, drinking and preference for salty food were significantly associated with the risk of GC in Jiangsu province with gender differences. Although only one SNP (rs2072454) was significantly associated with an increased risk of GC, combined the six EGFR exon SNPs together may be useful for predicting the risk of GC. 相似文献12.

Fibrillin-1 (FBN1) was reported to have impact on the physiological arterial stiffness and vascular remodeling with hypertension of recent years. In the previous study we reported the association of four functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FBN1 gene and hypertension. Here, we further investigate the association of four tagging SNPs (tagSNPs) which covered remain genetic variation blocks of FBN1 gene with hypertension, blood pressure and efficacy of antihypertensive in a South Han Chinese population. A case–control study including 2,012 hypertension cases and 2,116 controls age- and sex-matched controls was conducted from a community-based population and four candidate tagSNPs of the FBN1 gene were genotyped. Association analysis by multiple logistic regression was conducted for allele, genotype and haplotype and hypertension, blood pressure trait and control status with antihypertensive. General linear model was applied to compare blood pressure levels between genotypes. The association of rs17361868 and hypertension was statistically significant and that was further observed in female, ≥55 years, non-smoking and non-drinking populations (P < 0.05). Significant association of rs668842, rs11635140 and hypertension were observed in <55 years population as well as the later in female and non-smoking populations respectively. Haplotype G-T constructed of rs668842 and rs11635140 was significantly associated with hypertension comparing to reference haplotype A-C (P = 0.022). Normally distributed square root of TGF-β1 (pg/ml) of hypertension cases (148.56 ± 66.46) was significantly higher than that of control (128.52 ± 65.11), P = 0.008. Furthermore, TGF-β1 was significantly correlated with SBP (r = 0.135, P = 0.018) and DBP (r = 0.154, P = 0.007) respectively whereas no statistical difference of blood pressure or TGF-β1 was observed between genotypes. Remarkably, rs17361868 were significantly associated with the status of blood pressure in the patients taking three of the antihypertensive drugs, Zhen Ju Jiang Ya tablets, Jiang Ya tablet and compound reserpine (P < 0.05). The present study provides further association evidence of FBN1 gene polymorphisms and hypertension, antihypertensive efficacy. Further replication of these results via association or prospective studies conducted in other populations is warranted. 相似文献

Background
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in China. Genetic factors that predispose individuals to CHD are unclear. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether the variation of FoxOs, a novel genetic factor associated with longevity, was associated with CHD in Han Chinese populations.Methods
1271 CHD patients and 1287 age-and sex-matched controls from Beijing and Harbin were included. We selected four tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FoxO1 (rs2755209, rs2721072, rs4325427 and rs17592371) and two tagging SNPs of FoxO3 (rs768023 and rs1268165). And the genotypes of these SNPs were determined in both CHD patients and non-CHD controls.Results
For population from Beijing, four SNPs of FoxO1 and two SNPs of FoxO3 were found not to be associated with CHD (p>0.05). And this was validated in the other population from Harbin (p>0.05). After combining the two geographically isolated case-control populations, the results showed that the six SNPs did not necessarily predispose to CHD in Han Chinese(p>0.05). In stratified analysis according to gender, the history of smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and the metabolic syndrome, we further explored that neither the variants of FoxO1 nor the variants of FoxO3 might be associated with CHD (p>0.05).Conclusion
The variants of FoxO1 and FoxO3 may not increase the prevalence of CHD in Han Chinese population. 相似文献16.
DISC1 gene polymorphisms and the risk of schizophrenia in an Iranian population: A preliminary study
Alireza Shokouhifar Nasrin Askari Shaghayegh Yazdani Jalil Fallah Mehrabadi 《Journal of cellular biochemistry》2019,120(2):1588-1597
Background: Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar illness are common psychological disorders with high heritability and variable phenotypes. The disrupted in schizophrenia 1 ( DISC1) gene, on chromosome 1q42, has an essential role in neurite outgrowth and cell signaling. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs6675281, rs2255340, and rs2738864) with schizophrenia disorder. These three SNPs were chosen as they had been used in most of the previous studies. Methods: In a case-control study of Iranian population for the first time 778 blood samples were collected including, 402 schizophrenic patients and 376 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using DNA extraction kit (BioFlux Co). The genotypes of rs6675281, rs2255340, and rs2738864 were detected by nested allele-specific multiplex polymersae chain reaction (PCR). Results: Our data revealed that the three SNPs are significantly associated with schizophrenia (rs2255349 C>T: confidence interval (CI), 2.115 to 3.268; P = 0.0000 OR: 2.629; rs2738864 C>T: CI, 1.538 to 2.339; P = 0.0000 OR: 1.897; rs6675281 C>T: CI, 2.788 to 4.662; P = 0.0009241 OR: 3.605). Through applying the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, we calculated the haplotype frequency, and finally performed haplotype analysis with Bonferroni correction and data preprocessing methods and the results showed rs66875281 to have the highest association. Discussion: Our findings primarily showed that DISC1 gene polymorphisms contribute to schizophrenia risk and have a significant association with this disorder among Iranian population. The strategy was found to be easy, rapid, specific, and consistent for the co-occurring detection of the DISC1 polymorphisms. We could finally confirm that the polymorphisms are related to schizophrenia studied in Iranian population. 相似文献

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Multiple genetic and environmental factors are thought to be responsible for susceptibility to AD. In this study, we collected 2,478 DNA samples including 209 AD patients and 729 control subjects from Taiwanese population and 513 AD patients and 1027 control subject from Japanese population for sequencing and genotyping ORAI1. A total of 14 genetic variants including 3 novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ORAI1 gene were identified. Our results indicated that a non-synonymous SNP (rs3741596, Ser218Gly) associated with the susceptibility of AD in the Japanese population but not in the Taiwanese population. However, there is another SNP of ORAI1 (rs3741595) associated with the risk of AD in the Taiwanese population but not in the Japanese population. Taken together, our results indicated that genetic polymorphisms of ORAI1 are very likely to be involved in the susceptibility of AD. 相似文献

Dyslexia is a hereditary neurological disorder that manifests as an unexpected difficulty in learning to read despite adequate intelligence, education, and normal senses. The prevalence of dyslexia ranges from 3 to 15% of the school aged children. Many genetic studies indicated that loci on 6p21.3, 15q15-21, and 18p11.2 have been identified as promising candidate gene regions for dyslexia. Recently, it has been suggested that allelic variants of gene, DYX1C1 influence dyslexia. In the present study, exon 2 and 10 of DYX1C1 has been analyzed to verify whether these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influence dyslexia, in our population. Our study identified 4 SNPs however, none of these SNPS were found to be significantly associated with dyslexia suggesting DYX1C1 allelic variants are not associated with dyslexia. 相似文献

The α-adducin (ADD1) is a subunit of adducin which is a cytoskeleton heterodimeric protein. Adducin participates in oocytes chromosome meiosis of mice, prompting adducin has an effect on embryonic development. Adducin gene mutation has significantly functional change. So the present study was to identify and characterize polymorphisms within the coding region of the bovine ADD1 gene among different cattle breeds. Here, 11 novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs 1–11) were identified by DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism, there were one synonymous mutation in exon 1 (SNP1); four missense mutations in exons 4, 7, and 8 (SNPs 3–6); and six mutations in introns 4, 12, 13, and 14 (SNPs 2, 7–10). The statistical analyses indicated that the some SNPs are associated with the growth traits (body length, body height, chest circumference, and hucklebone width) in Chinese Jiaxian cattle population. Our results provide evidence that polymorphisms in the ADD1 gene are associated with growth traits, and may be used for marker-assisted selection in beef cattle breeding program. 相似文献

Toll-interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) domain containing adaptor protein (TIRAP; also known as MAL) is an essential adaptor molecule in Toll-like receptor signaling, involved in activating the innate immune response during infection. Genetic variations in the TIRAP gene may influence human susceptibility to infectious disease. To date, in the Chinese population, a possible predisposition of TIRAP gene variants to tuberculosis has not been reported. We investigated whether TIRAP gene polymorphisms are associated with the development of tuberculosis in a Chinese population. We investigated all the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the TIRAP exon 5 in a case-control study of 212 patients with tuberculosis and 215 controls in a Chinese population. Genotyping was performed to identify the polymorphisms of TIRAP gene by PCR-DNA sequencing method. Haplotypes for the TIRAP gene variants were constructed using Haplo view version 4.2. Six polymorphisms of the SNPs listed in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database were detected in these Chinese tuberculosis patients. It was found that both the frequency of the 286A allele (odds ratio (OR) = 13.37; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.75-238.3; P < 0.01) and the frequency of 286AG genotype (OR = 13.57; 95%CI = 0.76-242.5; P < 0.01) were significantly higher in patients than in healthy controls. However, two other SNPs, C539T and C558T, reported to be associated with tuberculosis in other populations, were found not to be associated with tuberculosis in this Chinese population. We conclude that TIRAP G286A (D96N) polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis and may be a new risk factor for the development of tuberculosis in China. 相似文献
