Abstract

Objective: The IKZF4(Ikaros family zinc finger 4) gene encodes Eos, a zinc finger transcription factor that belongs to the Ikaros family. High expression of Eos on Treg cells is important for the suppression of autoimmune responses and immune homeostasis. It has been suggested that the SNP in IKZF4 may influence the pathogenesis of AA(alopecia areata). The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between IKZF4 polymorphism and AA in the Chinese Han population.

Methods: We examined 459 patients and 434 controls in this study. The rs1701704 polymorphism was evaluated using HRM analysis and direct sequencing.

Results: The prevalence of the C/C, A/C, and A/A genotypes in AA patients was 7.4%, 37.5% and 55.1%, respectively. There were significant differences in genotype distribution and allele frequencies between AA and the control group (P < .0001). The frequency of the C allele in the AA group was significantly higher (P < .0001), and the frequencies of the C allele and C/C genotype in patients with family history were higher (P < .0001; P = .001).

Conclusions: The rs1701704 SNP of IKZF4 may be a genetic marker for assessing the risk of AA in the Chinese Han population.

中国汉族人群中 IKZF4 基因与脱发症的关联分析

研究目的IKZF4（Ikaros家族锌指4）基因编码属于Ikaros家族的锌指转录因子Eos。Eos在Treg细胞中的高表达对抑制自身免疫反应和免疫平衡非常重要。有研究认为，IKZF4的SNP可能会影响AA（斑秃）的发病机制。本研究旨在探讨中国汉族人群中 IKZF4 多态性与 AA 的关系：方法：我们对 459 例患者和 434 例对照进行了研究。方法：我们对 459 例患者和 434 例对照进行了研究，并通过 HRM 分析和直接测序对 rs1701704 多态性进行了评估：结果：在 AA 患者中，C/C、A/C 和 A/A 基因型的患病率分别为 7.4%、37.5% 和 55.1%。AA 组与对照组的基因型分布和等位基因频率存在明显差异（P < .0001）。AA组中C等位基因的频率明显更高（P < .0001），有家族史的患者中C等位基因和C/C基因型的频率更高（P < .0001; P = .001）：结论：IKZF4的rs1701704 SNP可能是评估中国汉族人群AA风险的遗传标记。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
