Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra) is an important anti‐inflammatory molecule encoded by the IL1RN gene. The polymorphism of IL1RN characterized by variable numbers of an 86 bp tandem repeat (VNTR) sequence in intron 2 has been described. Moreover, frequencies of the IL1RN alleles vary among different ethnics. In the present study, we analysed the IL1RN polymorphism in intron 2 in 256 Chinese Han and 252 Chinese She individuals. Four alleles including IL1RN*1, *2, *3 and IL1RN*4 were identified in this study. Data revealed that the distribution of the IL‐1RN genotypes and allele was significantly different between the two Chinese populations (P < 0.001). Among them, 66.8% (171/256) and 86.5% (218/252) were homozygous for the allele IL‐1RN*1 in Chinese Han and She individuals respectively. Homozygosity for allele IL‐1RN*2 was only observed in Chinese Han with the percentage of 0.8% (2/256). Heterozygosity for IL‐1RN*1/2, IL1RN*1/3 and IL1RN*1/4 was 30.9% (79/256), 0.4% (1/256) and 1.2% (3/256) in Chinese Han, whereas only heterozygosity for IL‐1RN*1/2 was found in Chinese She (13.5%, 34/252). Frequencies of the most common allele IL‐1RN*1 and IL‐1RN*2 were 83.0% and 16.2% for Chinese Han and 93.3% and 6.7% for Chinese She respectively. The rare allele IL‐1RN*3 and IL‐1RN*4 was only observed in the Chinese Han population with the frequency of 0.2% and 0.6% respectively. Our findings suggested that the ethnic background plays an important role in IL‐1Ra gene variation in different populations. 相似文献

Interleukin-1-receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) modulates the biological activity of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) and could play an important role in the pathophysiology of inflammatory and metabolic traits. We genotyped seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that capture a large proportion of common genetic variation in the IL-1RN gene in 1256 participants from the Invecchiare in Chianti study. We identified five SNPs associated with circulating IL-1RA levels with varying degrees of significance (P-value range=0.016-4.9 x 10(-5)). We showed that this association is likely to be driven by one haplotype, most strongly tagged by rs4251961. This variant is only in weak linkage disequilibrium (r(2)=0.25) with a previously reported variable number of tandem repeats polymorphism (VNTR) in intron-2 although a second variant, rs579543, that tags the VNTR (r(2)=0.91), may also be independently associated with IL-1RA levels (P=0.03). We found suggestive evidence that the C allele at rs4251961 that lowers IL-1RA levels is associated with an increased IL-1beta (P=0.03) level and may also be associated with interferon -gamma (P=0.03), alpha-2 macroglobulin (P=0.008) and adiponectin (P=0.007) serum levels. In conclusion, common variation across the IL-1RN gene is strongly associated with IL-1RA levels. 相似文献

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) has been supposed to play important roles in pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms of IL-1Ra gene (IL1RN) variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in intron 2 with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Ninety-two RSA patients and hundred normal women with at least one live birth and no history of miscarriage were included in the study. Frequencies of the IL1RN alleles and genotypes were determined. Data revealed that the prevalence of IL1RN allele and genotype was not significant between the RSA and control group (all P > 0.05). Our finding indicated that the polymorphism VNTR of IL1RN gene in intron 2 may not be a risk factor for RSA in the Chinese Han population. 相似文献

VNTR3' polymorphism of apoliproprotein B gene in obese people 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Apolipoprotein B (apo B) is the major component of LDL, VLDL and chylomicrons. Variations of lipid concentrations in obese people result from obesity, nutritional and genetic factors. Many genetic polymorphisms of the apo B have been described, associated with variation of lipid concentrations. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of VNTR3' polymorphism of the apoB gene on lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in overweight subjects. 234 unrelated outpatients (160 women and 74 men, aged 39.3 y 10.5; BMI: 32.8 kg/m2 4.7) were recruited. Using the polymerase chain reaction followed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels, 15 different alleles have been identified. Among them four have been observed less than 5 times in our study. Alleles with 21, 25, 35 and 42 repeats have been observed once. The most frequent is VNTR36 allele (38%), followed by alleles 34, 30, 48, and 46 repeats whose frequencies are 20, 9, 8, and 7% respectively. The possible association between alleles of the VNTR3' of the apoB and anthroprometric and lipid variables was examined. Subjects with 50 repeat allele had significantly higher BMI, and subjects with 32 repeat allele had significantly higher HDL-C and ApoAI levels. Our study confirms in the obese subjects, results published in the general litterature, and shows that the apoB has an important role in the metabolism of plasma lipids and most particulary its gene variants. 相似文献

Interleukin-33 (IL-33), a newly described member of the IL-1 family, is located on chromosome 9p24, a chromosomal region of interest in Alzheimer's disease (AD) defined by many genome-wide studies. Three intronic rs1157505, rs11792633, and rs7044343 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within IL-33 have recently been reported to be associated with risk of AD in Caucasian populations. In order to assess the involvement of the IL-33 polymorphisms in the risk of developing late onset AD (LOAD), we analyzed the genotype and allele distributions of these 3 polymorphisms in 704 Han Chinese subjects. The minor alleles of the rs11792633 polymorphism within IL-33 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of LOAD (odds ratio [OR] = 0.73, p = 0.005). Furthermore, rs11792633 polymorphism was still strongly associated with LOAD (dominant model: OR = 0.67, p = 0.015; recessive model: OR 0.57, p = 0.021; additive model: OR = 0.71, p = 0.004) after adjusting for age, gender, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 status. Our results support the evidence that genetic variants of IL-33 affect susceptibility to LOAD in Han Chinese. 相似文献

The dopamine transporter (DAT1) is responsible for taking released dopamine back up into presynaptic terminals and terminating dopaminergic activity. It has been shown that cocaine binds to the dopamine transporter and blocks dopamine reuptake in a fashion that correlates with cocaine reward and reinforcement. To determine the role of this gene in the development of alcoholism, we have used two approaches, relative risk and haplotype relative risk. The relative risk approach involved 162 alcoholic probands who were categorized into type I and type II, and 89 unrelated normal controls. In the haplotype relative risk approach, 29 trios (father, mother, and proband) were genotyped with dopamine transporter gene polymorphism. Comparison of allele frequencies between total alcoholics, subtypes of alcoholics, and normal controls were negative. The results of haplotype relative risk, differences between alleles transmitted and nontransmitted, were also negative. However, both approaches produced similar results. Therefore, we concluded that the VNTR polymorphism in DAT1 gene is not associated with alcoholism susceptibility genes in our samples. Am. J. Med.

BACKGROUND: The human dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) contains a 48-bp tandem repeat in exon 3 and shows alleles varying between repeats 2 and 11. The gene shows a high level of expression in the prefrontal cortex of the brain and association of particular alleles of this locus with various neuropsychiatric and personality disorders have been reported. OBJECTIVE: The present study reports allele frequency distribution at the DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) locus among five ethnic populations of India. This background information is fundamental to the field of pharmacogenetics for disease susceptibility and association studies. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Three hundred and thirty two healthy unrelated adult individuals belonging to five ethnic groups: Konkanastha Brahmins, Marathas, Ezhavas, Nairs and Muslims, have been typed. Genomic DNA, extracted from peripheral blood, was PCR amplified using a two-enzyme system. The use of ALF Express DNA sequencer was found to be helpful for large-scale population genotyping. Statistical analysis was performed using the POPGENE and DISPAN programs. RESULTS: A total of eight alleles ranging from repeat 2 to repeat 9 were observed. Allele 4 was the predominant allele among all the five populations, consistent with the data on other world populations. A rare allele 9 was detected exclusively among Marathas. The observed heterozygosity was low, ranging from 0.38 to 0.54 while other parameters like Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) and Power of Discrimination (PD) showed moderate values. The populations were in genetic equilibrium when tested under Hardy-Weinberg expectations. CONCLUSION: The allele frequency estimates for DRD4 provided here will contribute towards developing an informative database for this functionally relevant locus. This will prove useful when studying the association between genetic factors and pathogenesis of disease in Indian populations and will address the concern of biased results of association due to population admixtures. 相似文献

Das Allel 4 war unter allen fünf Populationen vorherrschend, passend zu Daten von anderen Völkern dieser Erde. Ein seltenes Allele 9 wurde ausschließlich bei den Marathas gefunden. Die beobachtete Heterozygotie war niedrig und reichte von 0,38 bis 0,54, während andere Parameter wie der Gehalt an Information betreffend Polymorphismus (Polymorphic Information Content) und die Unterscheidbarkeit (Power of Discrimination) mäßige Ausprägungen zeigten. Die Populationen waren bei Prüfung unter Hardy–Weinberg-Erwartungen im genetischen Äquilibrium.Zusammenfassung: Die hier vorgenommene Schätzung der Allelhäufigkeit für DRD4 wird zur Entwicklung einer informativen Datenbasis für diesen funktionell bedeutsamen locus beitragen. Dies wird sich als hilfreich für die Untersuchung der Beziehung zwischen genetischen Faktoren und der Pathogenese von Krankheiten in der Indischen Bevölkerung erweisen und wird Bedenken berücksichtigen hinsichtlich möglicher Beeinflussung von Ergebnissen aufgrund ethnischer Durchmischung.Resumen.

La heterozigosidad observada era baja, oscilando entre 0,38 y 0,54, mientras otros parámetros como el Contenido de Información Polimórfica (Polymorphic Information Content) y el Poder de Discriminación (Power of Discrimination) mostraron valores moderados. Las poblaciones estaban en equilibrio genético cuando se las testó bajo las condiciones de Hardy-Weinberg.Conclusión: Las estimaciones de las frecuencias alélicas para el gen DRD4 proporcionadas en este estudio, contribuirán al desarrollo de una base de datos informativa sobre este locus funcionalmente relevante. Esto será útil cuando se estudie la asociación entre los factores genéticos y la patogénesis de la enfermedad en poblaciones indias, y para tratar la inquietud por los resultados sesgados de asociación debidos a las mezclas de población. 相似文献

中国汉族人群IL-1RA基因多态性及其与宫颈癌的相关性研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目的 研究位于白细胞介素1受体拮抗剂基因(interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, IL-1RA)第二个内含子中可变串连重复序列(variable number of tandem repeats, VNTR)多态性在中国3个汉族人群中的分布情况,并探讨其与宫颈癌的发生关系。方法 采用PCR方法分别对3个汉族人群206例个体以及42例宫颈癌患者和45例对照进行多态性检测,扩增产物进行2%的琼脂糖电泳。结果 三个汉族群体的基因型以A1/A1和A1/A2最为常见。等位基因以A1频率最高,A2次之,群体间的差异是不显著的(P>0.05)。与美、英高加索人群相比,A1 的频率明显偏高,A2明显偏低,而与非洲黑人相近。在宫颈癌患者和正常对照人群中,该多态位点的等位基因和基因型频率均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 IL-1RA第二个内含子中 VNTR多态性在不同种族间的分布存在着明显的差异,但与中国东北地区宫颈癌的发生可能无直接相关性。 相似文献

Human carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum is a glycoprotein playing an essential role
in the intestinal processing of cholesterol and lipid-soluble vitamins. The gene encoding CEL was known to contain a tandemly
repeated sequence of the 11-amino-acid motif in the C-terminal region. We characterized its polymorphic features and found
that there are five different alleles in Japanese populations and six in Caucasians. The allele containing 16 repeats is the
most common in both populations. Although the distribution of the alleles seemed to be different in the two populations, the
difference was not statistically significant. This polymorphism may influence the function of this enzyme and be a useful
genetic marker to study diseases associated with cholesterol absorption.
