Background

Adams–Oliver syndrome (AOS [MIM 100300]) is a rare, multiple malformation syndrome commonly characterized by scalp aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) and transverse terminal limb defects (TTLD). Brain abnormalities and heart defects are also present in most patients. Both autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive inheritance of the disease have been observed. To date, six causative genes have been identified: ARHGAP31, DOCK6, EOGT, RBPJ, NOTCH1, and DLL4. Autosomal-recessive mutations are mostly associated with DOCK6 (MIM: 614219) and EOGT (MIM: 615297), while mutations in ARHGAP31 (MIM: 100300), RBPJ (MIM: 614814), NOTCH1 (MIM: 616028), and DLL4 (MIM: 616589) have been linked to autosomal-dominant inheritance.

Case

We report a case of AOS caused by DOCK6 mutations (c.3190_3191del and c.4491 + 1G > T), showing no signs of scalp ACC or TTLD, but with bilateral ventricular dilation and ophthalmic abnormalities. Results of whole-exome high-throughput sequencing were analyzed using a combination of pathogenicity prediction algorithms, query of variant databases, and review of the literature. Candidate gene variation sites were identified for pedigree verification.

Conclusions

The correlation between the genotype and phenotype of AOS has great variability, and the specific pathogenesis of AOS remains to be further studied.

dadams - oliver综合征(AOS [MIM 100300])是一种罕见的多发性畸形综合征,通常以头皮先天性皮肤发育不全(ACC)和横向终肢缺陷(TTLD)为特征。大多数患者还会出现大脑异常和心脏缺陷。常染色体显性遗传和常染色体隐性遗传均已发现。迄今为止,已鉴定出6个致病基因:ARHGAP31、DOCK6、EOGT、RBPJ、NOTCH1和DLL4。常染色体隐性突变主要与DOCK6 (MIM: 614219)和EOGT (MIM: 615297)相关,而ARHGAP31 (MIM: 100300)、RBPJ (MIM: 614814)、NOTCH1 (MIM: 616028)和DLL4 (MIM: 616589)的突变与常染色体显性遗传有关。我们报告一例由DOCK6突变(c. 31903191del和c.4491 + 1G >T),没有显示头皮ACC或TTLD的迹象,但有双侧心室扩张和眼部异常。全外显子组高通量测序结果采用致病性预测算法、查询变异数据库和查阅文献相结合的方法分析。鉴定候选基因变异位点进行家系验证。结论AOS基因型与表型的相关性具有较大的变异性,其具体发病机制有待进一步研究。

The studies have reported several additional non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (NSCL/P) susceptibility loci. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the linkage and association of PAX7 polymorphisms with the NSCL/P risk. A comprehensive search was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases until May 15, 2021. The association between PAX7 polymorphisms and NSCL/P susceptibility was analyzed by calculation of the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the linkage was assessed by the allelic transmission disequilibrium test. Some articles included more than one study (reporting more than one polymorphism). Therefore, nine articles including 13 studies were entered into the meta-analysis. With regard to the association of rs742071 polymorphism with the risk of NSCL/P, the pooled OR was 1.33 for the allelic (P < 0.0001), 1.98 for the homozygous (P = 0.0007), 1.41 for the heterozygous (P = 0.0267), and 1.15 for the dominant (P = 0.2542) models. For the association of PAX7 rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms with the risk of NSCL/P, the pooled OR was 0.96 (P = 0.5571) and 1.14 (P = 0.1020), respectively. In addition, the pooled allelic transmission disequilibrium test for s742071 and rs766325 polymorphisms did not show any allelic linkage between these polymorphisms and susceptibility to NSCL/P. The main results of the present systematic review and meta-analysis showed an association between PAX7 rs742071 polymorphism and NSCL/P susceptibility; but there was no linkage or association with rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms.

研究报告了几个额外的非综合征性唇腭裂(NSCL/P)易感位点。本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在评估PAX7多态性与nsl /P风险的联系和关联。在PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science和Scopus数据库中进行了全面的搜索,直到2021年5月15日。通过计算优势比(ORs)和95%置信区间(CIs)分析PAX7多态性与nsl /P易感性之间的关联,并通过等位基因传递不平衡检验评估连锁关系。一些文章包括了不止一项研究(报告了不止一种多态性)。因此,9篇文章,包括13项研究被纳入meta分析。关于rs742071多态性与nsl /P风险的关联,该等位基因的汇总OR为1.33 (P <纯合子为1.98 (P = 0.0007),杂合子为1.41 (P = 0.0267),显性模型为1.15 (P = 0.2542)。PAX7 rs766325和rs4920520多态性与nsl /P风险的关联,合并OR分别为0.96 (P = 0.5571)和1.14 (P = 0.1020)。此外,对s742071和rs766325多态性进行的汇总等位基因传递不平衡试验未发现这些多态性与nsl /P易感性之间存在任何等位基因连锁。本系统综述和荟萃分析的主要结果显示PAX7 rs742071多态性与nsl /P易感性之间存在关联;但与rs766325和rs4920520多态性没有连锁或关联。

Background

What is the etiology of skin tags? What factors are involved in the patho-biochemistry of combined skin tags and internal malignancy? This study aimed to assess the possible linkage between CDH1 gene polymorphisms and skin tags and whether certain CDH1-SNPs are the key to developing internal malignancies in the subjects with skin tags.

Materials and methods

CDH1 polymorphisms were assessed in 164 skin tag subjects and 126 controls. We followed up the subjects with skin tags every six months for 48 months to assess whether anyone developed internal malignancy and if that malignancy was linked to certain CDH1 polymorphism.

Results

CDH1rs13689 genotypes were T/T (1.2% vs 4.8%), T/C (46% vs 60%) and C/C (70.7% vs 47.6%) for the skin tag subjects and the controls, respectively (p < 0.001). The CDH1rs17715799 genotypes were A/A (29.3% vs 50.8%), A/T (56.1% vs 44.4%) and T/T (14.6% vs 4.8%) for the skin tag subjects and the controls, respectively, (p < 0.001). After follow up, six patients with skin tags developed internal malignancies.

Conclusions

CDH1 genetic variants may be incriminated in the process of skin tag formation through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) are substantial risk factors for EMT. Internal malignancy might develop with skin tags, so these patients should be followed up. The mutant CDH1rs13689 and/or rs17715799 may be the key to the presence of combined skin tags and malignancy.

背景:皮赘的病因是什么?什么因素参与皮赘合并内部恶性肿瘤的病理生化?本研究旨在评估CDH1基因多态性与皮赘之间的可能联系,以及某些CDH1- snp是否是皮赘患者发生内部恶性肿瘤的关键。材料与方法对164例皮赘患者和126例对照组进行scdh1多态性分析。我们每6个月对有皮赘的受试者进行随访,持续48个月,以评估是否有人出现内部恶性肿瘤,以及该恶性肿瘤是否与某些CDH1多态性有关。结果皮垂组和对照组scdh1rs13689基因型分别为T/T (1.2% vs 4.8%)、T/C (46% vs 60%)和C/C (70.7% vs 47.6%) (p <0.001)。皮垂组和对照组的CDH1rs17715799基因型分别为A/A (29.3% vs 50.8%)、A/T (56.1% vs 44.4%)和T/T (14.6% vs 4.8%), p <0.001)。随访后,6例皮赘患者出现内部恶性肿瘤。结论scdh1基因变异可能参与皮赘上皮间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition, EMT)形成过程。肥胖和糖尿病(DM)是EMT的重要危险因素。内部恶性肿瘤可能发展为皮赘,因此这些患者应随访。突变体CDH1rs13689和/或rs17715799可能是合并皮赘和恶性肿瘤存在的关键。

Background

The level of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression in different tissues is essential in the sensitivity, symptoms and consequences of COVID-19 infection. It seems that zinc is involved in the structure of the ACE2 enzyme has been identified; nonetheless, the relationship between ACE2 expression and zinc serum levels in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected patients is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of ACE2 in peripheral blood-derived immune cells of COVID-19 patients and its relationship with serum zinc levels.

Methods

Thirty healthy subjects and thirty patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in this study. The COVID-19 infection was confirmed by positive real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and radiological data. Peripheral blood samples were taken from healthy subjects and COVID-19 patients. Whole blood samples were also used to measure ACE2 gene expression by RT-PCR technique. The correlation matrix evaluated the relationship between ACE2 expression, serum zinc levels, and other related variables.

Results

The outcomes showed no considerable alteration in serum zinc levels between patients and the control group. Likewise, the ACE2 gene expression results showed a significant decrease in this receptor's expression in COVID-19 patients compared with the healthy subjects. A significant positive correlation was observed between serum zinc level and ACE2 gene expression in patients with COVID-19.

Conclusion

The immune system seems to reduce the mRNA expression of the ACE2 in the peripheral blood leukocytes following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, zinc deficiency can make patients more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

不同组织中血管紧张素转换酶2 (ACE2)的表达水平在COVID-19感染的敏感性、症状和后果中至关重要。似乎锌参与了ACE2酶的结构已被确定;然而,严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV-2)感染患者中ACE2表达与血清锌水平之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨ACE2在COVID-19患者外周血源性免疫细胞中的表达及其与血清锌水平的关系。方法选取30例健康受试者和30例新冠肺炎患者作为研究对象。实时聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)阳性和放射学资料证实为COVID-19感染。采集健康受试者和COVID-19患者外周血。采用RT-PCR技术检测全血ACE2基因表达。相关矩阵评估ACE2表达与血清锌水平及其他相关变量之间的关系。结果结果显示,患者血清锌水平与对照组无明显变化。同样,ACE2基因表达结果显示,与健康受试者相比,COVID-19患者中该受体的表达显著降低。COVID-19患者血清锌水平与ACE2基因表达呈显著正相关。结论SARS-CoV-2感染后,免疫系统可能会降低外周血白细胞ACE2 mRNA的表达。此外,缺锌会使患者更容易感染SARS-CoV-2。

Background

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the principal subtype of lung cancer. Among all therapeutic options, platinum-based chemotherapy agents, especially Cisplatin, are still commonly used treatment for NSCLC patients. However, developing chemoresistance in NSCLC cells often gives rise to chemotherapy failure. Therefore, more studies are required to shed light on gene interaction and cellular pathways involved in initiating and developing resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC. Hence, it is urgent to find the key genes, microRNA (miRNAs), and potential molecular mechanisms implicated in chemoresistance and present markers to predict response to platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Methods

The microarray datasets GSE6410, GSE7035, GSE14814, GSE26704, GSE73302 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and were analyzed using R software. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the Enrich R site. Then, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and hub genes were obtained using the Cytoscape software. Further, the miRSystem database was performed to predict the miRNAs regulating the hub genes. Moreover, Cytoscape software and the CytoHubba plugin were used to construct the miRNA-target interaction network and hub modules. Finally, the Kaplan–Meier curve was used to demonstrate the survival curves and assess the association of the genes signature with clinical outcomes.

Results

A total of 142 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found. The gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses present the p53 signaling pathway as the most significant pathway.

Besides, from the top ten terms obtained of Biological Process, Molecular Function, and Cellular Component, the first ones, including cholesterol biosynthetic process, the extrinsic component of external side of plasma membrane, cytokine activity, were selected respectively. Based on the PPI network, the ten nodes with the highest degree were screened as hub genes. In addition, from the miRNA–target regulatory network in Cytoscape, ten hub nodes were found. Ultimately, according to Kaplan–Meier curve, BTG2 and TP53I3 with p-value <0.05 were associated with a better prognosis.

Conclusions

In the present study, DEGs, candidate miRNAs, and underlying mechanisms involved in chemoresistance were identified to suggest potential biomarkers to provide new clues for the prediction of response to platinum-based chemotherapy.

非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)是肺癌的主要亚型。在所有的治疗方案中,以铂为基础的化疗药物,尤其是顺铂,仍然是NSCLC患者常用的治疗方法。然而,在NSCLC细胞中产生化疗耐药往往导致化疗失败。因此,需要更多的研究来阐明基因相互作用和细胞通路在非小细胞肺癌铂基化疗的产生和发展中的作用。因此,迫切需要寻找与化疗耐药相关的关键基因、microRNA (miRNAs)和潜在分子机制,以及预测NSCLC患者对铂类化疗反应的标志物。方法从Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)数据库中下载GSE6410、GSE7035、GSE14814、GSE26704、GSE73302微阵列数据集,使用R软件进行分析。利用富集R位点进行功能和途径富集分析。然后利用Cytoscape软件获得蛋白-蛋白相互作用(PPI)网络和枢纽基因。此外,使用miRSystem数据库预测调节枢纽基因的mirna。利用Cytoscape软件和CytoHubba插件构建mirna -靶点相互作用网络和集线器模块。最后,使用Kaplan-Meier曲线来展示生存曲线,并评估基因特征与临床结果的关联。结果共发现142个差异表达基因(DEGs)。基因本体(GO)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)途径富集分析表明p53信号通路是最重要的途径。此外,从“生物过程”、“分子功能”和“细胞成分”三个方面获得的前十位术语中,分别选择了胆固醇生物合成过程、质膜外侧外在成分、细胞因子活性等前十位术语。基于PPI网络,筛选出10个度最高的节点作为枢纽基因。此外,在Cytoscape的mirna靶调控网络中,发现了10个枢纽节点。最终,根据Kaplan-Meier曲线,p值为<0.05的BTG2和TP53I3与较好的预后相关。结论本研究确定了deg、候选mirna和参与化疗耐药的潜在机制,为预测铂类化疗的反应提供了潜在的生物标志物。

Objective

Various reports have examined the contribution of the CTLA4 c.49A > G (rs231775; p.Thr17Ala) gene variant with different cancerous disorders. This meta-analysis was executed to further probe into the involvement of this missense variant with the susceptibility for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastric cancer (GC).

Methodology

Following a wide-based scrutinized search of the internet done by three independent researchers for the contribution of the CTLA4 c.49A > G (rs231775; p.Thr17Ala) variant with the cancer risk up to February 2021, only 16 case-control studies were found relevant and usable to the analysis out of 575 total retrieved reports. Multiple genetic models were checked for the proposed association through the computation of the odds ratio (OR) in addition to their 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). Stratification and regression analysis was also carried out for the analyzed reports based on their geographical distributions, genotyping techniques, source of cancer-free controls, genetic equilibrium within cancer-free controls, and quality score. In addition, trial sequential analysis (TSA) was applied to test for the adequacy of the total sample size.

Results

This meta-analysis has included 4320 HCC and GC patients in conjunction with 6601 cancer-free controls. This work disclosed a significant association for the CTLA4 c.49A > G (rs231775; p.Thr17Ala) variant with HCC among overall subjects tested by the recessive model [OR = 1.235, 95% CI = 1.050–1.453, P-value = 0.011]. Similarly, an elevated risk of GC was noticed associated with this variant within the overall subjects tested by the allelic model [OR = 1.225, 95% CI = 1.070–1.401, P-value = 0.003], and dominant model [OR = 1.352, 95% CI = 1.081–1.691, P-value = 0.008]. Furthermore, the stratification analysis showed a verification of correlation for this variant with HCC in Asian subjects under the recessive model, while the association was observed to be significant with GC in Asian and Caucasian patients under the dominant model. TSA confirmed that this work had significant findings noting that the collective Z-curve spanned the examining borderlines prior to attaining sample size confirming the acceptability of the study sample size.

Conclusion

The CTLA4 c.49A > G (rs231775; p.Thr17Ala) gene variant could be considered as an actual risk factor for the susceptibility of HCC and GC warranting efficient and adequate genetic counseling for this gene variant carriers.

Summary

The mechanisms involved in aneurysmal etiology are complex and only partially understood. Genetic risk factors have already been related to the process of aneurysm rupture. Among the genetic factors, the T-786C and Glu298Asp polymorphisms of the eNOS gene have great clinical relevance, as they can affect the bioavailability of nitric oxide for the cerebrovascular system.

Objective

To evaluate the relationship between eNOS T-786C and Glu298Asp polymorphisms and the aneurysm pathogenesis of patients seen in the Neurosurgery Department of Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte, as well as to compare them with sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors.

Methods

A total of 211 whole blood samples were collected from patients with cerebral aneurysms, 160 with ruptured aneurysms, 51 with unruptured aneurysms and 215 controls. After DNA extraction, genotyping was performed using the PCR-RFLP technique. Allele and genotype frequencies were obtained using the GENEPOP 4.2 software, and statistical analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 program and RStudio version 1.4.

Results

Age, female sex, smoking and small diameter of the aneurysms were associated with aneurysm development and rupture in the study population. The CC genotype of the T-786C polymorphism was associated with unruptured aneurysms with a diameter >12 mm.

Conclusion

Age, female sex and smoking were associated with rupture. This study revealed that the CC mutant genotype of the eNOS gene T-786C polymorphism was associated with unruptured intracranial aneurysms larger than 12 mm in our study population, revealing a new association.

To evaluated the possible correlations of prostate cancer and three coding region polymorphisms (rs 6257, rs6258, rs 6259), & changing repeat of TAAAA in promoter of SHBG gene regarding to concentration of Prostate specific Antigen and SHBG levels. For study purpose, a total of 352 subjects (176 patients and 176 controls) were recruited. The ELISA technique and the RFLP-PCR method were used. Logistic and adjusted regression of genotypes showed that the (TAAAA)n polymorphism in individuals carrying more than five repeats of the five-nucleotide sequence of TAAAA, as well as AA+AG (rs6257) and AA+AG (rs6259), increased the risk of prostate cancer by the chance ratio of 1.622, 2.005, and 2.469, respectively. The studied polymorphisms showed a significant relationship with the stage of the disease and Gleason score. The individuals carrying the mutants were less likely to develop prostate cancer than the ones with wild genotypes. All the genotypes in the cancer group had higher serum levels of tPSA and fPSA than those in the control group. A significant association was observed (except tPSA and fPSA for GT (rs6258) and fPSA for GA (rs6259)). Serum level of SHBG also showed a significant correlation with prostate cancer in genotypes >Panta TAAAA (TAAAA)n, GG (rs6257), TT and TT + CT (rs6258), and GG, AA, and AA+GA (rs6259). These polymorphisms by changing the serum levels SHBG contributed to the incidence of prostate cancer.

Despite increasing burden of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in India, there is paucity of data for the genetic susceptibility in Indian population which represents an important aspect to uncover the genetic factors for the cause or progression of different forms of AITD. It is known that production of auto-antibodies to thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a characteristic feature of AITD. Production of high titres of auto-antibodies against TG and TPO is one the hallmarks of AITD that often precedes the development of clinical disease. The gene coding for cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is considered an important candidate gene for susceptibility to AITD and also determines seropositivity. Earlier studies have demonstrated that polymorphic variants in CTLA-4 gene are linked to determine seropositivity. Hence, this study investigates a relationship between CTLA-4 (+49A/G) genotypes and seropositivity to anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies in AITD patients. A total of 85 Indian participants were included and genotyped for CTLA-4 (+49A/G) single nucleotide polymorphism and further analyzed for seropositivity of TPO and TG auto-antibodies in mean age group of 35.76 ± 12.42 years of both the genders. The TPO seropositivity was reported higher in G allele containing genotypes GG and AG (66.66% and 58%, respectively) compared to AA (44.8%) genotype. Whereas, TG auto-antibodies showed highest seropositivity for genotype AA (55.17%) compared to AG (36%) and GG (16.6%). Higher median titre values were observed for TPO antibodies with GG genotype (1587.461 U/mL). In contrast to this, higher titres of auto-antibodies to TG were observed for individuals with AA genotype (520.746 U/mL). In conclusion, this study demonstrates a relationship between CTLA4 (+49A/G) genotype and seropositivity to thyroid auto antigens TPO and TG in Indian patients with clinical manifestation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease, two different forms of AITD.

尽管印度自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(AITD)的负担不断增加,但印度人群的遗传易感性数据缺乏,这是揭示不同形式AITD病因或进展的遗传因素的重要方面。众所周知,对甲状腺球蛋白(TG)和甲状腺过氧化物酶(TPO)的自身抗体的产生是AITD的一个特征。抗TG和TPO的高滴度自身抗体的产生是AITD的标志之一,通常先于临床疾病的发展。细胞毒性T淋巴细胞抗原-4 (CTLA-4)的基因编码被认为是AITD易感性的重要候选基因,也决定血清阳性。早期的研究表明,CTLA-4基因的多态性变异与血清阳性有关。因此,本研究探讨了CTLA-4 (+49A/G)基因型与AITD患者抗tpo和抗tg抗体血清阳性的关系。共纳入85名印度参与者,对CTLA-4 (+49A/G)单核苷酸多态性进行基因分型,并进一步分析TPO和TG自身抗体的血清阳性,平均年龄为35.76±12.42岁,男女均有。含GG和AG基因型的G等位基因TPO阳性率分别为66.66%和58%,高于AA基因型的44.8%。而TG自身抗体在AA基因型的血清阳性率最高(55.17%),而AG(36%)和GG(16.6%)的血清阳性率最高。GG基因型TPO抗体滴度中值较高(1587.461 U/mL)。与此相反,AA基因型个体的TG自身抗体滴度较高(520.746 U/mL)。综上所述,本研究表明CTLA4 (+49A/G)基因型与印度临床表现为桥本甲状腺炎和Graves病两种不同形式AITD患者甲状腺自身抗原TPO和TG血清阳性的关系。

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD), as a neurodegenerative disease, is the most common reason for dementia in the elderly. ATP- binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) is a cell membrane transporter protein which is involved in cholesterol efflux. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between polymorphisms of G/A (rs2230806) in ABCA1 gene with sporadic Alzheimer's disease in the southwest of Iran.

Methods

This case-control study was conducted in 180 subjects, including 100 sporadic AD patients and 80 healthy subjects. Genotypes of all samples were determined using the PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) technique.

Results

The analysis of the R219K Polymorphism of ABCA1 gene indicated that there was no significant distinction between AD patients and controls. In this study when groups were stratified by age and sex, results showed that in the control group with less than 75 years, the risk of developing AD was significantly lower than subjects who were older than 75 years (P = 0.019, OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.24–0.88). A significant difference was detected in the risk of AD between patient and control in females older than 75 years (P = 0.028).

Conclusion

The results of this study confirm that aging is an important risk factor for AD. Also, it has been found that AD is more prevalent in women compared to men. However, our results do not support the hypothesis that R219K polymorphism in the rs2230806 region of the ABCA1 as a genetic risk factor for developing AD in our study population.

阿尔茨海默病(AD)作为一种神经退行性疾病,是老年人痴呆最常见的原因。ATP结合盒转运蛋白1 (ABCA1)是一种参与胆固醇外排的细胞膜转运蛋白。本研究的目的是评估ABCA1基因G/A (rs2230806)多态性与伊朗西南部散发性阿尔茨海默病的相关性。方法采用病例对照研究180例,其中散发性AD患者100例,健康人80例。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)技术测定所有样品的基因型。结果ABCA1基因R219K多态性分析显示AD患者与对照组无显著差异。在本研究中,按年龄和性别进行分组,结果显示,年龄小于75 岁的对照组患AD的风险显著低于年龄大于75 岁的对照组(P = 0.019,OR = 0.46,95% CI = 0.24-0.88)。年龄大于75 岁的女性患AD的风险与对照组有显著差异(P = 0.028)。结论本研究结果证实年龄是AD的重要危险因素。此外,研究发现,与男性相比,AD在女性中更为普遍。然而,我们的研究结果并不支持ABCA1 rs2230806区域R219K多态性是我们研究人群中发生AD的遗传危险因素的假设。
