维生素D受体基因多态性与乙型肝炎病毒感染的关联研究

目的探讨中国汉族人群维生素D受体（vitamin D receptor，VDR）基因多态性是否与乙型肝炎病毒（hepatitis B virus，HBV）感染结局相关联。方法以184例慢性乙肝患者和205名无症状HBV携带者为研究对象，收集外周血，提取基因组DNA，应用聚合酶链反应．限制性片段长度多态性（polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragmentlength polymorphism，PCIR-RFLP）方法，分析VDR基因第2外显子Fok Ⅰ位点、第9外显子Taq Ⅰ位点的多态性分布。结果单因素分析结果显示Fok Ⅰ位点FF基因型在慢性乙肝组的频率44．6％显著高于无症状HBV携带组的31．7％（P〈0．05）。经多因素非条件Logistic回归分析调整混杂作用后，结果仍然显示FF基因型在慢性乙肝组与无症状HBV携带组之间的差异存在统计学意义（OR=1．95，P〈0．05）。FokⅠ位点与TapⅠ位点组成的FT单倍型在慢性乙肝组的分布频率显著高于无症状HBV携带组（OR=1．45，P〈0．05），fT单倍型在慢性乙肝组的分布频率显著低于无症状HBV携带组（OR=0．72，P〈0．05）。结论维生素D受体基因多态性可能影响HBV感染的遗传易感性。

Study on association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and the outcomes of HBV infection

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms are associated with the outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Chinese Han population. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the polymorphisms of Fok I locus in exon 2 and Taq I locus in exon 9 of VDR gene. One hundred and eighty-four chronic hepatitis B patients and 205 asymptomatic HBV carriers were recruited to make the comparison of frequencies of genotype and haplotype of the VDR gene between the patients and the carriers. RESULTS: The univariate analysis showed a significant difference in Fok I polymorphism between chronic hepatitis B patients group and asymptomatic HBV carriers group. The FF genotype frequency in chronic hepatitis B patients group was 44.6%,higher than 31.7% in asymptomatic HBV carriers group (P<0.05). After adjusting the confounders by multiple logistic regression analysis, the result still showed a significant difference in Fok I site polymorphism between chronic hepatitis B patients group and asymptomatic HBV carriers group (OR=1.95, P<0.05). The FT haplotype frequency in chronic hepatitis B patients group was higher than that in asymptomatic HBV carriers group (OR=1.45, P<0.05). The fT haplotype frequency in chronic hepatitis B patients group was lower than that in asymptomatic HBV carriers group (OR=0.72, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: VDR gene polymorphism may be an influence factor of genetic susceptibility to HBV infection.
