Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the genotyping of Foxp3-3279 (A/Crs376158) genes in patients with dust mite-induced allergic conjunctivitis from Guangdong province and to explore the association between these genes and the susceptibility to dust mite allergic conjunctivitis.
Methods: In total, 80 patients with dust mite allergic conjunctivitis and 103 healthy Han Chinese were enrolled in the study and received genotyping of Foxp3-3279 (A/C,rs376158) by PCR-SSP technique.
Results: Genotype frequency of Foxp3-3279 AA, CA, and CC in patients with dust mite allergic conjunctivitis were 1.25%, 25.00% and 73.75%,respectively. Gene frequency of C and A in patients with dust mite allergic conjunctivitis were 86.25% and 13.75% with no significant difference from healthy counterparts (both P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Foxp3-3279 polymorphisms did not significantly differ between patients with dust mite allergic conjunctivitis and healthy controls, implying that this genetic locus is probably not an independent risk factor of the underlying pathogenesis of dust mite allergic conjunctivitis.
期刊介绍:
Eye science was founded in 1985. It is a national medical journal supervised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University, and hosted by Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center (in October 2020, it was changed from a quarterly to a monthly, with the publication number: ISSN: 1000-4432; CN: 44-1119/R). It is edited by Ge Jian, former dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, Liu Yizhi, director and dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, and Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, as executive editor. It mainly reports on new developments and trends in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, focusing on basic research in ophthalmology, clinical experience, and theoretical knowledge and technical operations related to epidemiology. It has been included in important databases at home and abroad, such as Chemical Abstract (CA), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Core Journals (Selection) Database (Wanfang), and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).
