OPHN1基因编码RhoGTP酶激活蛋白(RhoGAP), 是X连锁的与非特异性精神发育迟滞有关的基因之一。采用PCR-RFLP方法, 对234名陕西秦巴山区正常的汉族儿童以及精神发育迟滞(Mental retardation, MR)患者的OPHN1基因5′非翻译区中的单核苷酸多态位点(Single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP) rs492933的等位基因频率和基因型频率以及是否与非特异精神发育迟滞相关进行分析。结果发现: 这一位点基因频率C为0.826, T为0.174; MR组与对照组之间基因型频率和基因频率没有显著性差异, 边缘组与对照组之间基因型频率和基因频率也没有显著性差异。证明OPHN1基因内SNP rs492933的多态性与秦巴山区汉族儿童精神发育迟滞不存在相关性。     

COMT基因多态性与儿童精神发育迟滞及儿童认知能力的相关性研究

儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶（catechol-O-methyl transferase,COMT）是儿茶酚胺类神经递质的主要代谢酶.COMT是儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶的编码基因,其第4外显子的一个G/A转换可产生不同活性的等位基因.许多遗传学研究报道,这种功能多态性与人类精神类疾病相关.文章利用PCR扩增技术和限制性片段长度多态（Restriction fragmentlength polymorphism,RFLP）方法,研究中国秦巴山区精神发育迟滞（Mental Retardation,MR）儿童与正常对照儿童的COMT基因功能多态情况,探讨COMT基因功能多态性与儿童认知能力水平的相关性.病例-对照分析结果显示,COMT基因的不同活性等位基因型与秦巴山区儿童MR无相关性（x2=0.776,P＞0.05）,其等位基因频率与儿童MR也未呈现出相关性（x2=0.335,P＞0.05）.但是,在研究中还发现,该地区智商分（IQ）不小于55分的儿童群体中,COMT基因的多态性分布与儿童的智力呈现出相关的趋势.在智力正常组儿童中（IQ≥85）,COMT高活性等位基因纯合体（COMTHH）频率及其等位基因（COMTH）频率较高,分别为60.98%、79.28%.在智力边缘组儿童（70≤IQ＜85）中,其频率分别为46.67%、70.67%,相应地也低于正常组的频率（0.10＞P＞0.05）.结果提示,在中国秦巴山区人群中,COMT基因的功能多态性与儿童MR的形成无明显相关性,但它对正常儿童的认知能力可能有一定影响.     

秦巴山区儿童FRAXE脆性位点CGG重复多态性分布及与智力的相关性分析

采用PCR扩增技术和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术, 并结合测序, 对秦巴山区随机抽样儿童及不同智力水平儿童的FRAXE脆性位点CGG重复序列进行检测。并把所得的CGG重复数与智测成绩(用韦氏儿童智力量表(C-WISC)进行智力测量)做关联分析。结果表明, FRAXE脆性位点CGG重复的等位基因分布范围在不同地域人群中有所差异, 同一地域人群中等位基因频率分布基本一致; 随机抽样儿童的CGG重复多态性与智力没有相关性(r=0.083, P>0.05), 男性和女性的CGG重复多态性分别与儿童智力也无相关性(r男＝0.225, r女＝-0.041, P>0.05); 在智力低下(MR)、边缘和正常儿童中, CGG重复数值之间也没有显著性差异(F=0.195, P>0.05)。因而认为, 秦巴山区儿童FRAXE脆性位点CGG的正常重复多态性(重复数为8-30)与其智力成绩亦无相关性。

体内外研究证明,人体中P—gP在药物的吸收、分布、代谢和排泄（ADME）过程中发挥了非常重要的作用。多药耐药基因MDR1（ABCB1）是P-gP的编码基因。药物基因组学和遗传药理学研究发现在不同个体中MDR1基因多态性与P—gP表达和功能的改变密切相关,而且这些多态位点存在基因型分布和等位基因频率的种族差异性。近几年,已陆续发现在MDR1基因中有50处单核苷酸多态性（SNPs）和3处插入与缺失多态性。随后,大量文献报道某些位点的SNPs如C3435T会使个体患病的易感性增加。因此人们相信,深入研究MDR1基因多态性与P—gP的生理和生化方面的相关性将对个体医疗有着非常深远的意义。文章总结了国外最新的研究进展并结合本实验室的工作着重讨论了4个方面：1）P—gP对药代动力学性质的影响：2）MDR1基因多态性及其对遗传药理学性质的影响;3）MDR1^C3435T的单核苷酸多态性与P-gP表达和功能之间的相关性：4）MDR1基因多态性与人类某些疾病之间的相关性。

Relationship between blood or milk polymorphisms and size measures of Holstein heifers1

Polymorphisms of Holstein heifers from ten state-owned dairy herds were compared with their birth weights and four measures of body size taken at 3, 6, and 12 months of age, and three months after first calving. The eleven polymorphic systems included the A, B, FV, J, L, S and Z blood group systems, the serum transferrins, and the β-lactoglobulin, αs₁-casein, and β-casein milk protein systems. Possible effects of polymorphisms on body measurements were investigated by analysis of variance. The numbers of animals included in the analyses ranged from 2600 in one analysis to about 100 heifers with precalving measurements and identified polymorphism types for the systems studied. Most of the analysis involved over 1000 animals. No meaningful evidence of relationship between polymorphism type and single measurement, type of measurement or measurements taken at the same age was observed. Enumeration of the probabilities that the F values could have resulted from chance alone indicated that, as a whole and generally for various groupings, fewer F values associated with low probabilities were observed than expected.

Relationship between ligand binding and YIPP motif in the C-terminal region of human AT1 receptor

The YIPP (tyrosine-isoleucine-proline-proline, amino acids 319-322) motif within the C-terminal part of the human AT(1) receptor is associated with angiotensin II (AII)-induced activation of the Jak-STAT pathway and phospholipase Cgamma1 phosphorylation. We report here that mutations of the YIPP motif strongly affect ligand-binding to the receptor. We analysed AT(1) receptors of the wild type (WT) and 11 mutants with a FLAG-epitope-tag within their C-terminal portion. Mutations of the "P-P" amino acid sequence of this motif decreased both AII binding and the AII-induced intracellular Ca(2+) transients. Mutant and WT receptors were expressed equally in the cell membrane and were localized within the plasma membrane. These results suggest that the "P-P" amino acid sequence within the YIPP motif is important for AII binding to the AT(1) receptor.     

白细胞介素-10基因启动子多态性与子宫内膜异位症遗传易感性的相关性

为了探讨中国汉族妇女白细胞介素-10(IL-10)启动子的基因多态性与子宫内膜异位症(EMs)遗传易感性的关系, 文章应用扩增阻滞突变系统-聚合酶链反应(ARMS-PCR)结合DNA测序法, 以及聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)分析方法, 对119例不同期别的EMs组患者和120例随机抽取的汉族妇女进行了IL-10-1082G/A、-819T/C和-592A/C的基因多态性分析。结果表明: EMs组-1082等位基因频率和基因型分布与对照组比较, 差异无显著(P>0.05), 而EMs组-819C 或-592C、-819CC和TC或-592CC和AC的等位基因或基因型频率均显著高于对照组(P<0.05); 另外, Ⅲ-Ⅳ期EMs患者-819C 或-592C、-819CC和TC或-592CC和AC的等位基因或基因型频率又显著高于Ⅰ-Ⅱ期EMs患者和对照组(P<0.01)。这表明IL-10-819T/C和-592A/C位点多态性与中国汉族妇女EMs发病的易感性有一定关系。     

Development of dense microsatellite markers in the entire SLA region and evaluation of their polymorphisms in porcine breeds

We developed 40 microsatellite markers in the entire swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) region, spanning over 2.35 Mb. The average span between markers was 59 kb, and the largest interval between markers was 127 kb. We also evaluated polymorphisms of length for the markers using 97 pigs derived from 12 breeds, including representative commercial breeds. All of the markers were successfully amplified in genomic DNA and shown to be polymorphic. These markers will provide an alternative method for determining the SLA haplotypes instead of direct typing of SLA genes per se. They will be valuable for transplantation studies and for association studies between immunological traits such as disease susceptibility and tumor rejection.

Association between polymorphisms in the promoter region of interleukin-10 and susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease

The aim of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Fifteen studies (3,693 cases and 4,574 controls) were included in a meta-analysis of association between IL-10 ?1082G/A, ?819C/T and ?592C/A polymorphisms, and IBD, CD and UC using allele contrast and the recessive, dominant, and additive models. Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was confirmed for each study. Heterogeneity and study quality were investigated using stratification analyses and sensitivity analyses. Polymorphism ?1082G/A showed significant association with CD, with odds ratios (ORs) for the GG + GA genotype and GG versus AA genotype of 1.278 (1.004–1.627) and 1.238 (1.027–1.492) in all subjects. Significant associations were found in the Caucasian subgroup using the allele contrast, dominant, and additive models. C-allele carriers of the ?819C/T polymorphism were at increased risk of IBD (OR 1.093, 95 % CI 1.004–1.190). Association with the ?819C/T polymorphism was also found in Caucasians with CD (C vs. T: OR 1.104, 95 % CI 1.010–1.206; CC + CT vs. TT: OR 1.328, 95 % CI 1.006–1.754; CC vs. TT: OR 1.339, 95 % CI 1.008–1.778), and with UC (CC vs. CT + TT: OR 1.188, 95 % CI 1.019–1.385). No significant association was found between the ?592C/A polymorphism and IBD, CD or UC. In conclusion, the meta-analysis demonstrated clear association between the IL-10 polymorphisms ?1082G/A and ?819C/T and the risk of IBD.
