Introduction
In view of the reported association of SNPs in the paraoxonase (PON1) gene with coronary artery disease (CAD), and the absence of conclusive data from India, we investigated the relationship of three SNPs at different loci (‐108C/T, L55M and Q192R) of the PON1 gene and their haplotypes with CAD among people residing in the northern plains of India.Materials and methods
One hundred and seventy-eight healthy controls and two hundred and four angiographically-proven CAD patients were genotyped using PCR-RFLP.Results
Of the three SNPs, only the R allele of Q192R polymorphism was associated with CAD (p < 0.05). Two locus haplotypes QT (OR 0.55, p = 0.0004, 95% CI 0.39–0.77, significant) and LQ (odds ratio 0.73, p = 0.03, 95% CI 0.55–0.97, trend) showed protective effects, while haplotypes MR (OR = 5.36, p = 0.0001, 95% CI 2.045–14.049) and MC (OR = 2.71, p = 0.011, 95% CI 1.221–6.046) were associated with increased risk of CAD. MRT, a minor three-locus haplotype also displayed significant association (OR 4.93, 95% CI 1.7–13.5) with the disease. Significance was assessed after applying Bonferroni's correction.Conclusions
Our study revealed that only one SNP at a single locus but several haplotype combinations of PON1 coding and promoter-region polymorphisms were associated with the risk of or protection against CAD. Thus, haplotype analysis brought better insights into the association of PON1 gene polymorphisms with CAD in Asian Indians. 相似文献2.
Background
The chitinase-like 1 protein, YKL-40, is involved in inflammation and tissue remodeling. Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute myocardial infarction have elevated levels of serum YKL-40. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether the chitinase-like 1 gene-329G/A variant (rs10399931) confers susceptibility to CHD, and whether it is associated with the clinical phenotype and severity of disease.Methods
We performed a case-control study of 410 unrelated CHD patients (coronary stenosis ≥ 50% or documented myocardial infarction) and 442 controls from China. A ligase detection reaction was used to determine a single-nucleotide polymorphism in rs10399931. The genotypic and allelic associations of this single-nucleotide polymorphism with CHD, phenotypes and severity were also evaluated. Plasma levels of YKL-40 were measured using ELISA assays.Results
Three genotypes, CC, CT, and TT, existed in rs10399931 and there were no significant differences found in either the genotypic or allelic frequencies between the CHD cases and controls. Patients with CHD had higher YKL-40 levels compared to controls and those with acute myocardial infarction had the highest levels of YKL-40 compared to patients with either stable or unstable angina pectoris (all p < 0.01). Rs10399931 affected neither the main anthropometric or metabolic characteristics, nor did there exists any association between rs10399931 and the severity of coronary lesions assessed by Gensini scores (all p > 0.05).Conclusions
Our results do not support that rs10399931 is associated with clinical phenotypes of CHD and the extent of coronary lesions; however, YKL-40 levels are higher in CHD patients and associated with its clinical phenotypes. 相似文献3.
Background and objective
The genetic variants of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, such as those encoded by glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes, may be associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). To investigate the genetic factors for CAD, we examined the GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, and GSTA1 genotypes in a CAD cohort in Taiwan.Methods
Our study included 458 CAD participants and 209 control participants who received coronary angiography to assess CAD. The severity of CAD was defined as the number of coronary vessels with 50% or greater stenosis. Sequence variation of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes was determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The GSTP1 (Ile105Val), and GSTA1 (-69C > T) genetic variants were identified using a combination of PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals.Results
Among the GST genetic variants examined, the GSTT1 null genotype was more prevalent in CAD participants with 3 stenosed vessels than in control participants (OR = 1.64, P = .02). This association was no longer observed after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol use, diabetes mellitus, and serum levels of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 1.28, P = .40). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses found no significant associations between CAD and the other genetic variants, either separately or in combination. In addition, no effects of interactions between the genotypes and environmental factors, such as cigarette smoking, were significantly associated with the risk of CAD.Conclusion
The GST genetic variants examined were not associated with susceptibility to CAD in our Taiwanese cohort. This null association requires further confirmation with larger samples. 相似文献4.

Background
The alteration in the epigenome forms an interface between the genotype and the environment. Epigenetic alteration is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of cardiovascular disease where environmental interactions play a key role in disease progression. We had previously shown that global DNA hypermethylation per se is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is further accentuated by high levels of homocysteine, a thiol amino acid which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is also a key modulator of macromolecular methylation.Results
We have identified 72 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that were hypermethylated in CAD patients in the background of varying homocysteine levels. Following deep bisulfite sequencing of a few of the selected DMRs, we found significantly higher methylation in CAD cases. We get six CpG sites in three DMRs that included the intronic region of C1QL4 gene and upstream region of CCDC47 and TGFBR3 genes.Conclusion
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to identify hypermethylated regions across the genome in patients with coronary artery disease. Further validation in different populations is necessary for this information to be used for disease risk assessment and management. 相似文献5.

Aim
HFE gene variants can cause hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) that often comes along with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The goal of our study is to assess the contribution of four HFE gene variants to the risk of CHD.Methods and results
We conducted four meta-analyses of the studies examining the association between four HFE gene variants and the risk of CHD. A systematic search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Chinese Periodical.Results
Meta-analyses showed that HFE rs1799945-G allele was associated with a 6% increased risk of CHD (P = 0.02, odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01–1.11). However, no association between the other three HFE gene variants (rs1800562, rs1800730, and rs9366637) and CHD risk was observed by the meta-analyses (all P values > 0.05). In addition, the results of our case–control study indicated that rs1800562 and rs1800730 were monomorphic, and that rs1799945 and rs9366637 were not associated with CHD in Han Chinese.Conclusions
Our meta-analysis suggested that a significant association existed between rs1799945 mutation and CHD, although this mutation was rare in Han Chinese. 相似文献6.

Background
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, multi-systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown causes. This disease is mainly characterized by mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular, and central nervous system manifestations. The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and the plasma homocysteine (Hcy), folate, and B12 levels in a relatively large cohort of Tunisian patients with BD.Methods
The study included 142 patients with BD and 172 healthy controls. The C677T and A1298C polymorphisms were genotyped using PCR-RFLP. Serum Hcy level was determined using a fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Serum folate and vitamin B12 levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Results
Genotype and allele frequencies of the two studied MTHFR polymorphisms did not show any significant differences among BD patients compared to controls. Patient carriers of the 677TT variant and the 677 T allele displayed significantly higher Hcy concentration. Moreover, no significant association was found between neither A1298C polymorphism nor the C allele and Hcy, folate, and B12 levels. In multivariate analyses, we reported that 677 T allele, male gender, and creatinine level were independent risk factors for hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC).Conclusions
In the present study, we report the absence of any significant differences between genotype and allele frequencies for both studied polymorphisms among BD patients compared to healthy controls. Besides, we showed that the T allele of MTHFR C677T polymorphism influenced the Hcy level which is an independent risk factor for HHC in Tunisian BD patients. 相似文献7.
Background/aims
The incidence of urolithiasis has considerably increased throughout the world in the last two decades. Clinical researches have showed an association between oxidative stress and stone formation. Emerging evidence indicated a novel function for klotho protein in anti-oxidative stress. In this study, we aimed at investigating a possible relationship between klotho gene polymorphisms and the risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in the population of Han nationality in Eastern China.Methods
Klotho gene polymorphisms rs3752472 in exon3, rs650439 in intron 4 and rs577912 in intron 1 were investigated in 426 patients with calcium oxalate stones compared with 282 age-matched healthy volunteers with no history of stone formation, using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays.Results
Significant differences were found between rs3752472 and the risk of nephrolithiasis as CC genotype of rs3752472 klotho polymorphism had almost 2-fold increased stone risk compared with the heterozygote genotype CT and homozygous genotype TT(95% CI = 1.013–2.255, OR = 1.512,p = 0.043).Conclusion
Our results showed that the rs3752472 polymorphism of klotho gene is associated with the risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis and may act as a risk factor during stone formation in our study population. 相似文献8.

Background
WNT4 and SF1 genes play an important role in ovarian development. They constitute coherent candidate genes associated with premature ovarian failure (POF) pathogenesis.Methods
We sequenced the coding region of WNT4 and SF1 in 55 Tunisian women with POF and 100 healthy controls.Results
We identified a synonymous variation in WNT4 (c.99G>A, p.Ser33Ser) and a substitution (c.G437C) in SF1 gene inducing G146 to Ala (GGG–GCG) missense mutation. WNT4 (c.99G>A, p.Ser33Ser) was not associated with POF pathology. However, a positive association of SF1 Gly146Ala polymorphism was noted. Gly146Ala minor allele frequency was significantly higher (p = 0.029) in POF patients versus controls and Ala allele containing genotypes (p = 0.005) were positively associated with POF pathology. The carriage of 146Ala allele was also associated with a significant reduction in estradiol plasma levels.Conclusions
SF1 Gly146Ala polymorphism seems to be associated with POF pathology in the Tunisian population likely by reducing estradiol levels. 相似文献9.

Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the individual or combined effects of PPARA-L162V, PPARG-C161T and APOE polymorphisms on hyperlipidemia in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.Methods
Our study included 223 patients with CHD (103 with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), 120 without diabetes) and 101 controls. All genotypes were determined by PCR–RFLP technique.Results
Genotypic and allelic distributions of PPARA-L162V polymorphism were similar between study and control groups (p > 0.05). The serum total-cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were higher in PPARA-V162 allele carriers in non-diabetic CHD patients (p = 0.007 and p = 0.038, respectively). The increasing effect of the PPARA-V162 allele on serum TC and LDL-C levels was weakened with the presence of PPARG-161T allele in the non-diabetic CHD patients. The ApoE4–PPARA-V162 allelic combination of the ApoE/PPARA genes was found to be more frequent in diabetic CHD patients independent of serum lipids (p = 0.035).Conclusions
The PPARA V162 allele has an increasing effect on TC and LDL-C levels and this effect was reduced by carrying PPARG T161 allele in non-diabetic CHD patients. On the other hand, the V162 allele may be associated with an increased risk of CHD in diabetic CHD patients due to the presence of ApoE4 allele independent of serum lipids. We suggest that the PPARA L162V polymorphism may have diverse effects on serum lipids and CHD risk depends on the presence of T2DM. 相似文献10.

Background
CYP4A11 converts arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), which has a crucial role in the modulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. We assessed the association between the human CYP4A11 gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Han and Uygur populations in China.Methods and Results
In the Han population, 361 CAD patients and 315 controls were genotyped for four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the human CYP4A11 gene (rs9332978, rs4660980, rs3890011, rs1126742). In the Uygur population, 331 CAD patients and 182 controls were genotyped for the same four SNPs. Data were assessed via haplotype-based case–control studies. For the Han population, the significance of the recessive model of SNP3 (GG vs. CC+GC) between CAD patients and control subjects was retained after adjustment for EH, DM and smoking (for men, 95% CI: 1.173–3.013, P = 0.009). The G-G-T haplotype in CAD was significantly higher than that in the control group (P = 0.037). In the Uygur population, neither the distribution of genotypes and alleles for the four SNPs nor the distribution of haplotypes constructed with the same three SNPs showed a significant difference between CAD and control subjects.Conclusions
The GG genotype of rs3890011 and the G-G-T haplotype in the CYP4A11 gene could be a useful genetic marker of CAD in Han populations in China. 相似文献12.

PON1 and PON2 have attracted considerable attention as candidate genes for coronary heart disease because their enzymes function as key factors in lipoprotein catabolism pathways. We studied the distribution of PON1 and PON2 polymorphisms, including genotyping, lipid profile, and PON1 activity, and their association with PON1 activity and significant coronary stenosis (SCS) in a Tunisian population. PON1 activity was lower in patients with SCS than in controls. It increased with the R allele (QQ < QR < RR) in PON1-192 genotypes and with the L allele (MM < ML < LL) in PON1-55 genotypes. In the presence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, PON1-192RR and PON2-311CC were associated with an increased risk of SCS and PON1-55MM seems to have lower risk. This association was evident among nonsmokers for PON1-55MM and among smokers for PON1-192RR and PON2-311CC. The GTGC haplotype seemed to increase the risk of SCS compared with the wild haplotype in a Tunisian population. 相似文献

Background
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an inflammatory process and a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The (heat shock protein70-2) HSP70-2 gene is reported to be associated with coronary artery disease possibly by affecting the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α. The association between CAD and the HSP70-2 gene + 1267A>G polymorphism has been studied in some populations but there are no data about this association in the Iranian population.Aim
We have investigated the association between the HSP70-2 gene + 1267A>G polymorphism and angiographically defined CAD within an Iranian population.Methods
We determined the presence of the HSP70-2 gene + 1267A>G polymorphism in 628 patients with CAD and 307 healthy individuals using PCR-RFLP. Of the patients, 433 (68%) had > 50% stenosis (CAD +) and the remaining 195 patients had < 50% stenosis (CAD −), based on coronary angiography. Angiogram positive patients were subdivided into three groups: those with single (n = 113), double (n = 134), and triple vessels (n = 186) disease.Results
A significant higher frequency of AG + GG genotypes (G allele carriers) was observed in angiogram positive and angiogram negative groups compared to controls in a dominant analysis model of the HSP70-2 gene + 1267A>G position (51.2 vs. 43.2, P = 0.002, OR = 1.37) (51.0 vs. 43.2, P = 0.01, OR = 1.37). The allele frequency of the HSP70-2 G was also significantly higher in angiogram positive and angiogram negative groups compared to the control group (51.2 vs. 43.2, P = 0.002, OR = 1.37) (51.0 vs. 43.2, P = 0.01, OR = 1.37).Conclusion
These results suggest that HSP70-2 + 1267 polymorphism may influence the risk of CAD in Iranian population, however further studies are needed to clarify the role of other HSP70-2 gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of the CAD. 相似文献14.
Objective
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral mucosal diseases, with a multifactorial etiopathogenesis, an interaction between predisposing factors and/or systemic conditions and immunological components in genetically predisposed subjects. Although there is no clear genetic mode of inheritance, there is evidence that inheritance of specific gene polymorphisms may predispose individuals to RAS. The purpose of the present study was to investigate a possible association between the functional interleukin 4 (IL4) VNTR genetic polymorphism and RAS in a sample of Turkish patients.Methods
The study included 145 unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of RAS and 150 unrelated healthy controls. Genomic DNA was isolated and IL4 gene 70 bp VNTR polymorphism determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers.Results
The distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of IL4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism was statistically different between RAS patients and control group (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively) P2P2 genotype and P2 allele were also found to be protective with a lower risk for susceptibility to RAS (p < 0.0001).Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that intron 3 VNTR polymorphism in the IL4 gene is associated with RAS susceptibility in Turkish population. 相似文献15.

Objective
Alopecia areata (AA) is hypothesized to be an organ-specific autoimmune disease of hair follicles mediated by T cells. As immunological and genetic factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of AA, the purpose of the present study was to investigate possible associations between the functional Interleukin (IL)-4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism and AA susceptibility and disease progression in Turkish population.Methods
The study group consisted of 116 unrelated patients with AA and 125 unrelated healthy controls. Genomic DNA was isolated and IL-4 gene 70 bp VNTR polymorphism determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers.Results
No association was observed between AA patients and controls according to genotype distribution (p = 0.051). The allele distribution of IL-4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism was statistically different between AA patients and control group (p = 0.026). The frequency of P1 allele in patients was significantly higher than that in the control group. When the P2P2 genotype was compared with P1P2 + P1P1 genotypes, a statistically significant difference was observed between patients and controls (p = 0.036). Intron 3 VNTR polymorphism in the IL-4 gene was found to be associated with AA susceptibility in Turkish population.Conclusion
The results suggest that IL-4 VNTR polymorphism in the intron 3 region may be a risk factor for the development of AA among Turkish population. This is the first to report that intron 3 VNTR polymorphism in the IL-4 gene is associated with AA susceptibility. 相似文献16.
Background and aim
PSCA is a tissue specific tumor suppressor or oncogene which has been found to be associated with several human tumors including gallbladder cancer. It is considered to be involved in the cell-proliferation inhibition and/or cell-death induction activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of PSCA gene polymorphisms in gallbladder cancer risk in North Indian population.Methodology
A total of 405 gallbladder cancer patients and 247 healthy controls were included in the case–control study for risk prediction. We examined the association of two functional SNPs, rs2294008 and rs2978974 in PSCA gene by genotyping using Taqman allelic discrimination assays. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software, version 17. Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis was done with the help of SNPstats software. FDR test was used to correct for multiple comparisons.Results
No significant associations of rs2294008 and rs2978974 genetic variants of the PSCA gene were found with GBC risk at allele, genotype or haplotype levels. Stratifying the subjects on the basis of gallstone also did not show any significant result. However, on gender stratification, we found a significant association of Trs2294008-Grs2978974 haplotype with higher risk of GBC in females (FDR Pcorr = 0.021, OR = 1.6). In contrary, Trs2294008-A rs2978974 haplotype conferred significant lower risk in males (FDR Pcorr = 0.013; OR = 0.25).Conclusions
These findings suggest that PSCA genetic variants may have a significant effect on GBC susceptibility in a gender specific manner. 相似文献17.

Background
Polymorphisms in apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) have been associated with higher triglyceride levels in many populations. The aim of the study was to determine the allelic and genotypic distribution of the APOA5 − 1131T > C polymorphism and to identify the association of the genetic variant and the risk for dyslipidemia.Methods
We genotyped 109 dyslipidemic subjects and 107 controls. The total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL-c were determined enzymatically. Comparison of means among groups was calculated by ANOVA. Significant differences among groups were evaluated by Student–Newman–Keuls test.Results
The minor allele C was more frequent in dyslipidemic subjects than controls (p = 0.019) and confers an increased individual risk for dyslipidemia (OR = 1.726, CI 95% = 1.095–2.721). The genotype analysis by gender showed that this allele was more frequent in dyslipidemic males (p = 0.037; OR = 2.050, CI 95% = 1.042–4.023). When participants were analyzed according to genotypes TT and TC/CC, C-carriers presented higher cholesterol and triglycerides levels than TT homozygous (p = 0.046 and 0.049, respectively).Conclusions
The allele C confers higher total cholesterol and triglycerides levels in dyslipidemic adults. The APOA5 − 1131T > C polymorphism is associated with dyslipidemia in male subjects. 相似文献18.

Objective
Genetic host factors play an important role in controlling individual's susceptibility to the pathogen. This study aims to explore the single and joint effect of genetic polymorphisms of interferon-gamma (IFNG) and its receptor (IFNGR1) in association with the pulmonary tuberculosis in a Chinese Han population.Methods
This population-based case control study consisted of 1434 pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 1412 healthy controls. Six tag SNPs in IFNG/IFNGR1 were genotyped using TaqMan allelic discrimination technology. The logistic regression model was carried out to analyze the associations between the genotypes and haplotypes and the risk of tuberculosis by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Results
After the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, three SNPs (rs2234711, rs1327475 and rs7749390) in IFNGR1 gene were observed to be significantly associated with the altered risks of tuberculosis. For the SNP rs2234711, individuals carrying C allele (vs. T) showed a decreased risk, with the adjusted OR(95% CI) of 0.82(0.76–0.91). The additive model revealed that each additional allele contributed about 14% decreased risk (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.77–0.95). Moreover, we observed a strong linkage disequilibrium between rs2234711 and rs3799488. Compared with the common rs2234711C–rs3799488C haplotype, the haplotype rs2234711T–rs3799488C contributed to a significant increase in the risk of tuberculosis (adjusted OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09–1.41).Conclusions
Our results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in IFNGR1 gene are involved in the risk of tuberculosis in the Chinese population. Future studies should include a comprehensive sequencing analysis to identify the specific causative sequence variants underlying the observed associations. 相似文献19.
Objectives
Tacrolimus is a widely used immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. The oral bioavailability of tacrolimus varies greatly between individuals and depends largely on the activity of both the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The possible influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP3A subfamily and P-gp (MDR-1) in liver transplant recipients has recently been indicated as one of the most important variables affecting the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus and the renal injury induced by tacrolimus.Methods
A total of 216 liver transplant recipients were enrolled in this study. The recipients' mean follow-up time was 52 mo (range from 16 to 96 mo). All liver transplant recipients were all in a stable stage with normal serum creatinine (SCr). All liver transplant recipients treated with tacrolimus were genotyped for CYP3A5 (6986A>G), CYP3A4 intron 6 (CYP3A4*22), MDR-1 exon 26 (3435C>T) and exon 12 (1236 C>T) SNPs by HRM analysis (high-resolution melting curve analysis). Recipients were defined as the early renal injury by the elevation of different microproteins in the urine including microalbumin (MA), urine immunoglobulin G (IGU), urine transferrin (TRU) and α1-microglobulin (A1M).Results
The daily dose of tacrolimus was higher for recipients with CYP3A5*1/*1 (AA) genotype than those with CYP3A5*3/*3 (GG) genotype [3.0 (2.0–4.0) versus 2.0 (1.5–2.5) mg/d, P < 0.05]. The concentration/dose ratio of recipients with CYP3A5*1 homozygotes was lowest compared to recipients with CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A5*1/*3 genotypes. Furthermore, the recipients carrying CYP3A5*3 allele were associated with increased risk of early renal glomerular injury compared to the recipients carrying CYP3A5*1 allele (P = 0.01). MDR-1 polymorphisms were not related with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics and early renal injury.Conclusion
CYP3A5 6986A>G genetic polymorphism affected daily dose requirements, concentration and nephrotoxicity of tacrolimus. Screening for this single nucleotide polymorphism before the transplantation might be helpful for the selection of adequate initial daily dose and to achieve the desired immunosuppression outcome. 相似文献20.
