Background
Some studies suggested that Glutathione S-transferases M1/T1(GSTM1/T1) null polymorphisms may be associated with the risk of vitiligo.Aims
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the association between GSTM1/T1 null polymorphisms and the susceptibility to vitiligo.Methods
We carried out a retrieval of studies in the databases. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of this association. We analyzed the data using Stata 11.0.Results
Six case–control studies including 1358 cases and 1673 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Our overall results showed the GSTM1 or GSTT1 null polymorphism was associated with vitiligo (GSTM1:OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.21–2.08, P = 0.001; GSTT1: OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.12–1.51, P = 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, the GSTM1 null polymorphism might be a genetic risk factor to vitiligo in East Asian (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.12–2.63, P = 0.014) but not in the Mediterranean, however individuals with the GSTT1 null polymorphism in the Mediterranean (OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.15–2.71, P = 0.010) but not in East Asian have a greater predisposition to vitiligo. In addition there was also a significant trend toward an association with the combination of the GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null in either East Asians or Mediterraneans.Conclusion
The GSTM1/T1 null polymorphisms may be associated with vitiligo. More studies are needed to confirm this conclusion. 相似文献2.

The contemporary Venezuelan population is the product of major admixture process across various historical events, which has provided it a particular genetic background. The aim of this study concerns the analysis of glutathione S-transferase (GST) GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 genetic variants and five polymorphisms at the TP53 gene, which are related to cancer susceptibility, in an urban/admixed population and five Amerindian tribes (Bari, Panare, Pemon, Warao and Wayuu) from Venezuela. Genotyping was carried out in 120 individuals from an urban sample and 188 Amerindians. The analysis performed on TP53 haplotype and GST allele distribution showed a close correlation for Pemon and Warao populations, while Bari group appears isolated from the other populations. GSTT1 null variant frequency in our admixed (11%) and native samples (0.0–11.4%) was lower when compared with Caucasians, Africans and Asians. Frequency of the GSTP1*Val cancer-associated allele found in Bari (88.6%) and Panare (63.0%) is of the highest so far reported. Fourteen TP53 haplotypes were observed in the admixed populations, whereas only 3 to 5 in Amerindians. To our knowledge this is the first report of GST polymorphisms and TP53 haplotype distribution in Venezuelans. The distribution of most of analyzed polymorphisms in the urban sample is consistent with the admixed origin of the present-day population of Venezuela. While, the inter-ethnic variations in genetic polymorphisms found in Native American tribes seem to be the result of the influence of demographic factors. These results provide additional data for undertaking ethnographic and disease association studies in Venezuela. 相似文献

In this study, the frequencies of CYP1A1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were determined in 133 healthy individuals from Ouangolodougou, a small rural town situated in the north of the Ivory Coast. As appeared in several published studies, ethnic differences in these frequencies have been found to play an important role in the metabolism of a relevant number of human carcinogens. In the studied sample, the frequencies of Ile/Ile (wild type), Ile/Val (heterozygous variant), and Val/Val (homozygous variant) CYP1A1 genotypes were 0.271, 0.692, and 0.037, respectively. Frequencies of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were 0.361 and 0.331, respectively. No significant differences were noted between men and women. In contrast to published data for Africans, CYP1A1 *Val Allele frequency (0.383) was significantly high (p < 0.001) in this specific population. For the GSTT1 null genotype, no differences were found between the studied and other African populations, the contrary to what occurred for the GSTM1 null genotype in relation to Gambia and Egypt. 相似文献

Background
Difference in the capacity of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes might be an important factor in genetic susceptibility to cancer.Methods
A case control study involving forty one gastric cancer patients and one hundred and thirty controls was carried out to determine the frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes. The frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype was observed by carrying out multiplex PCR.Results
There was no difference in the frequencies of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null and the combined GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype between patients and control.Conclusions
Our data suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 status may not influence the risk of developing gastric cancer. 相似文献6.
The development of molecular tools for the extraction, analysis and interpretation of DNA from the remains of ancient organisms (paleogenetics) has revolutionised a range of disciplines as diverse as the fields of human evolution, bioarchaeology, epidemiology, microbiology, taxonomy and population genetics. The paper draws attention to some of the challenges associated with the extraction and interpretation of ancient DNA from archaeological material, and then reviews the influence of paleogenetics on the field of human evolution. It discusses the main contributions of molecular studies to reconstructing the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between extinct hominins (human ancestors) and anatomically modern humans. It also explores the evidence for evolutionary changes in the genetic structure of anatomically modern humans in recent millennia. This breadth of research has led to discoveries that would never have been possible using traditional approaches to human evolution. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of some polymorphisms in GSTs (GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) which are very important protective mechanisms against oxidative stress and in OGG1 gene which is important in DNA repair, against the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 127 T2DM and 127 control subjects were included in the study. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Analyses of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were performed by allele specific PCR and those of GSTP1 Ile105Val and OGG1 Ser326Cys by PCR-RFLP. Our data showed that GSTM1 null genotype frequency had a 2-6 times statistically significant increase in a patient group (OR=3.841, 95% CI=2.280-6.469, p<0.001) but no significance with GSTT1 null/positive and GSTP1 Ile105Val genotypes was observed. When T2DM patients with OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism were compared with patients with a wild genotype, a 2-3 times statistically significant increase has been observed (OR 1.858, 95% CI=1.099-3.141, p=0.021). The combined effect of GSTM1 null and OGG1 variant genotype frequencies has shown to be statistically significant. Similarly, the risk of T2DM was statistically increased with GSTM1 null (OR=3.841, 95% CI=2.28-6.469), GSTT1 null+GSTP1 (H+M) (OR=4.118, 95% CI=1.327-12.778) and GSTM1 null+OGG1 (H+M) (OR=3.322, 95% CI=1.898-5.816) and GSTT1 null+OGG1 (H+M) (OR=2.179, 95% CI=1.083-4.386) as compared to the control group. According to our study results, it has been observed that the combined evaluation of GSTM1-GSTT1-GSTP1 and OGG1 Ser326Cys gene polymorphisms can be used as candidate genes in the etiology of T2DM, especially in the development of T2DM. 相似文献

The apoptotic pathway has been shown to be crucial in the development of cancers in addition to a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. The tumor suppressor gene (TP53) encodes p53, the central protein in the apoptotic pathway. The NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1, which is encoded by the NQO1 gene and, plays a direct role in apoptosis in addition to its recently discovered role as a regulator for p53. Three most commonly studied polymorphisms that were shown to affect the biochemical functions of p53 protein are the exon 4 Arg72pro, Intron 3 16bp Del/Ins, and Intron 6 A>G polymorphisms. The exon 6 C609T polymorphism was shown to significantly affect NQO1 enzymatic activity. The currently used methods for the separate detection of the four polymorphisms are either slow and laborious or extremely expensive. In this paper, a new highly optimized method for the simultaneous detection of the four polymorphisms is described. The proposed method utilizes 13 primers in a single PCR reaction to detect the four polymorphisms simultaneously based on the principle of tetra-primer ARMS-PCR (also known as PCR-CTPP). The proposed method offers extremely fast, economical, and simple detection. The proposed method was successfully applied to a sample of the Syrian population (n=144), where we found a unique distribution for TP53 polymorphisms that differed from the major ethnic groups. The proposed method is the first to simultaneously detect four polymorphisms including 3 SNPs in a single PCR reaction based on tetra-primer ARMS-PCR or PCR-CTPP, and can serve as an invaluable tool for the investigation of TP53 haplotypes and the combined effects of the TP53 and NQO1 genes with respect to apoptosis and susceptibility for various types of cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. 相似文献

Bronchopulmonary dysphasia (BPD) is a complex multifactorial disease with an obvious genetic predisposition. Oxidative stress plays an important role in its pathogenesis. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) detoxify metabolites produced by oxidative stress within the cell and protect the cells against injury. In the present study, the hypothesis that polymorphisms in the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes are associated with BPD in Chinese Han infants was examined. Sixty infants with BPD and 100 gestational age and birth weight-matched preterm infants without BPD were recruited. Genotyping for GSTM1 and GSTT1 was performed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The GSTM1 null genotype was more prevalent in BPD infants (65.0%) than in the control subjects (48.0%), which yielded higher risk towards BPD (odds ratio (OR): 2.012, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.040–3.892, p = 0.037). There was no statistically significant association of GSTT1 genotype with BPD (OR: 1.691, 95% CI = 0.884–3.236, p = 0.111), although the frequency of GSTT1 null genotype was higher among the BPD subjects (60.0%) than in the control patients (47.0%). GSTM1 and GSTT1 double null genotype was also higher in BPD group (38.3%) than in controls (21.0%) with a higher risk towards BPD (OR: 2.338, 95%CI = 1.151–4.751, p = 0.017). The results suggest that null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes may contribute to the development of BPD in our Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk have been widely studied, however, the results were somewhat conflicting. To evaluate the association of GSTs (GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) gene polymorphisms with T2DM, a meta-analysis was performed before October, 2012. ORs were pooled according to random-effects model. There were a total of 1354/1666 (n = 9) cases/controls (studies) for GSTM1, 1271/1470 (n = 8) for GSTT1, and 1205/1250 (n = 7) for GSTM1. There were significant associations between GSTM1 polymorphism, GSTT1 polymorphism and T2DM in the contrast of present genotype vs. null genotype, with pooled OR = 1.99 (95%CI = 1.46–2.71) and OR = 1.61 (95%CI = 1.19–2.17), respectively. Yet no significant association of GSTP1 polymorphism and T2DM was showed. When stratified by ethnicity, the significant associations were also existed in Asians for GSTM1 and GSTT1, but not GSTP1. No publication bias but some extent of heterogeneity was observed. Finally, the accumulated evidence proved the obvious associations of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms with an increased risk of T2DM. 相似文献

GPx1 is one of the most important enzymes involved in oxidative balance so that, we studied the phenotype and genotype relationship of GPx1 activity and rs 1800668 (C/T) site and also evaluated the changes of GPx1 kinetic parameters in the rs 1800668 homozygotes. One hundred fifty eight subjects were recruited after clinical exams. The rs 1800668 (C/T) genotype distribution was identified using RFLP-PCR method. The hemolysate GPx1 activity was spectrophotometrically measured in a reaction coupled with glutathione reductase (GR). The GPx1 enzyme was purified using gel filtration chromatography with Sephacryl S-300 column and, Km(app) was studied in the rs 1800668 TT and CC homozygotes. The results showed that the GPx1 activity is significantly associated to the rs 1800668 (C/T) genotype distribution (P<0.05) so that, the GPx1 activity was high among the CC homozygotes (P<0.03). In addition, Km(app) for TBHP substrate in the TT homozygote (8.48 μM) was higher than the CC homozygote (5.74 μM). We concluded that the C allele within rs 1800668 position is related to the GPx1 activity and may be a potential factor involved in development of inflammatory events. 相似文献

Increased levels of peripheral proinflammatory mediators can contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Platelet activating factor (PAF) is an important proinflammatory mediator and plasma levels of PAF correlate with transmembrane transporter multidrug resistant 1 P-glycoprotein (MDR1 Pgp) expression and activity. MDR1 polymorphisms can affect the expression and activity of Pgp and plasma PAF levels. Therefore, we investigated the possible relationship between MDR1 C3435T and G2677T/A polymorphisms and plasma PAF levels and the risk of CAD. The study population consisted of 198 patients angiographically documented CAD, including 113 cases with at least 1 coronary artery with ≥ 50% luminal diameter stenosis and 85 control subjects with strictly normal coronary angiograms. Genotypes of the MDR1 C3435T and G2677T/A polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Plasma PAF levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There were no significant differences among plasma PAF levels in regard to MDR1 C3435T and G2677T polymorphisms in CAD patients and controls. No statistically significant difference was found for the genotypic and allelic distributions of the polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene between the patients and the control subjects. Furthermore, analysis of MDR1 haplotypes did not show any associations with increased plasma PAF levels and risk of CAD. Our results suggest that plasma PAF levels are not associated with MDR1 gene polymorphisms. There is no association between MDR1 C3435T and G2677T/A polymorphisms and the risk of CAD in Turkish patients. 相似文献

Genetic variants of IL-18 and IL-12B may be important in immunoregulatory abnormalities, observed in the patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), that contribute to individual differences in response to a treatment. Therefore, we examined the significance of IL-18-137G/C, IL-18-607C/A, and IL-12B A/C polymorphisms in Croatians (187 patients, 236 controls), not only as factors that contribute to susceptibility to T1DM, but also as determinants of the clinical presentation of disease. 相似文献

Background and aims
The characterization of candidate gene polymorphisms in elderly populations is an important tool for the identification of risk factors for age-related diseases and conditions. We aimed to genotype the APOE polymorphisms (rs429358 and rs7412), rs61886492 (1561C>T) and rs202720 of GCPII gene and rs3918242 (− 1562C>T) of MMP9 gene in an older-adult/elderly cohort from Cuiabá city, Mato Grosso Brazil as well as to characterize risk factors for morbidities and conditions affecting this cohort.Methods
The studied population consisted of 570 subjects from Cuiabá city, Brazil, who were subjected to clinical interviews and blood collection for laboratory examinations and DNA extraction. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Polymerase Chain Reaction (RFLP-PCR), sequence-specific primer PCR (SSP-PCR) and TaqMan® allelic discrimination assay were used for genotyping.Results
The frequencies of APOE ε2 and ε4 were 6.6% and 14.8%, respectively, and the frequencies of GCPII rs61886492 T allele, GCPII rs202720 C allele and MMP9 rs3918242 T allele were, respectively, 3.0%, 26.6% and 10.1%. Significant associations between APOE ε2 allele with lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were found. In addition, MMP9 rs3918242 T allele was associated with higher LDL-cholesterol levels, suggesting a link between lipid metabolism alteration and cardiovascular disease.Conclusions
The present findings contributed to characterize risk factors specific for the studied population and to better understand the molecular physiopathology of common morbidities and conditions affecting older-adult/elderly people. 相似文献16.
Yunpoong is an important Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) cultivar, but no molecular marker has been available to identify Yunpoong from other cultivars. In this study, we developed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker for Yunpoong based on analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in an exon region of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene. This SNP marker had high specificity to authenticate Yunpoong in twelve different main ginseng cultivars. For application of the molecular marker, a rapid identification method was established based on the NaOH-Tris method and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in order to ensure more efficiency in the cultivar selection. The biggest feature of the NaOH-Tris method was that it made the extraction of DNA very simple and rapid in young leaf tissues. We only spent 1 min to extract DNA and directly used it to do PCR. In this report, the conventional DNA extraction method was used to develop molecular marker process, and the NaOH-Tris method was applied in screening large numbers of cultivars. Moreover, the greatest advantage of the real-time PCR compared with traditional PCR, is time saving and high efficiency. Thus, this strategy provides a rapid and reliable method for the specific identification of Yunpoong in a large number of samples. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the allele and genotype frequencies and haplotype structures of the variants in the UGT1A1 gene and their association with serum bilirubin levels in healthy adults. Total serum bilirubin levels were measured in 300 healthy adults (normal hematology and liver function test) and genotyping of seven SNPs was performed by PCR-RFLP, Gene Scan analysis and direct sequencing on the ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer. Of the seven SNPs, four were found to be polymorphic and the frequencies of minor alleles were 0.336, 0.431, 0.353 and 0.066 for − 53(TA)7, − 3279G, − 3156A and 211A respectively. Individuals who carried the − 53(TA)7, − 3279G and − 3156A mutant alleles in homozygous or heterozygous states had significantly higher mean serum bilirubin levels. Five major promoter haplotypes were observed: − 53(TA)6/− 3279T/− 3156G was the most common haplotype, followed by − 53(TA)7/− 3279G/− 3156A, − 53(TA)6/− 3279G/− 3156G, − 53(TA)6/− 3279G/− 3156A and − 53(TA)7/− 3279T/− 3156G with an estimated frequency of 0.445, 0.230, 0.083, 0.065 and 0.050 respectively. Furthermore, the mutant haplotype (− 53(TA)7/− 3279G/− 3156A) was found to have a significant effect on bilirubin concentrations. Promoter polymorphisms and a common haplotype of the UGT1A1 gene are associated with serum bilirubin concentrations and could be a genetic risk factor for hyperbilirubinemia in Indians. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to explore the genetic basis of caprine prolificacy and to screen indigenous goats for prolificacy associated markers of sheep in BMPR1B, GDF9 and BMP15 genes. To detect the associated mutations and identify novel allelic variants in the candidate genes, representative samples were collected from the breeding tract of indigenous goat breeds varying in prolificacy and geographic distribution. DNA was extracted and PCR amplification was done using primers designed or available in literature for the coding DNA sequence of candidate genes. Direct sequencing was done to identify the genetic variations. Mutations in the candidate genes associated with fecundity in sheep were not detected in Indian goats. Three non-synonymous SNPs (C818T, A959C and G1189A) were identified in exon 2 of GDF9 gene out of which mutation A959C has been associated with prolificacy in exotic goats. Two novel SNPs (G735A and C808G) were observed in exon 2 of BMP15 gene. 相似文献

Folate pathway is expected to play an important role in spermatogenesis since it is involved in DNA synthesis, repair and methylation. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between male infertility and the MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) and MTRR (A66G) polymorphisms. A group of 300 males was recruited in this study from different Jordanian infertility clinics. Of these, 150 cases of infertile men that included oligozoospermia cases (n = 45), severe oligozoospermia (n = 71) and azoospermia (n = 34) were studied. The other 150 males were age matched fertile controls. Genotyping of MTHFR and MTRR polymorphisms was performed using PCR-RFLP technique. The results showed an association between MTHFR 677TT genotype and male infertility (P < 0.05). However, the distribution of MTHFR A1298C and MTRR A66G genotypes were not different between the fertile and infertile groups (P > 0.05). In addition, none of the examined polymorphisms was related to any of the semen parameters in the infertile group. In conclusion, this study showed that MTHFR C677T polymorphism is associated with male infertility in Jordanians. 相似文献

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion and hyperglycemia, non-ketotic disease, monogenic autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, age at onset less than 25 years, and lack of auto-antibodies. It accounts for 2–5% of all cases of non-type 1 diabetes. MODY subtype 2 is caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene. In this study, we sequenced the GCK gene of two volunteers with clinical diagnosis for MODY2 and we were able to identify four mutations including one for a premature stop codon (c.76C>T). Based on these results, we have developed a specific PCR-RFLP assay to detect this mutation and tested 122 related volunteers from the same family. This mutation in the GCK gene was detected in 21 additional subjects who also had the clinical features of this genetic disease. In conclusion, we identified new GCK gene mutations in a Brazilian family of Italian descendance, with one due to a premature stop codon located in the second exon of the gene. We also developed a specific assay that is fast, cheap and reliable to detect this mutation. Finally, we built a molecular ancestry model based on our results for the migration of individuals carrying this genetic mutation from Northern Italy to Brazil. 相似文献
