Methods A case-control study was conducted in which 201 hypertensive patients and 202 healthy controls in Mongolian population were enrolled, and the genotypes of rs3754734, rs2011616 and rs2304682 loci were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polyrnorphism (PCR-RFLP) and direct sequencing techniques. Results There were significant differences in the frequencies of alleles and genotypes for the rs2304682 between the hypertensives and normotensives in the population(P＜0. 05). The frequency of the G-G haplotype established by rs3754734 and rs2304682 was significantly higher in the hypertensive patients (P＜0. 05). The frequencies of alleles and genotypes for the rs2304682 also had significant differences between the group with high diastolic blood pressure and normal diastolic blood pressure (P＜0.05). There were no significant differences in the frequencies of alleles and genotypes for the 3 SNPs between the group with high systolic blood pressure and normal systolic blood pressure (P＞0.05).

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) gene and susceptibility to cervical cancer. Methods One hundred patients and 100 healthy controls from Hubei province were genotyped for 20 polymorphic loci using Sequenom. Results The frequency of rs11571316 G allele and rs5742909 T allele, which are localized in the promoter region, and rs11571319 A allele, which is downstream of the gene, were significantly higher in patients than in controls. Luciferase assay showed that, as the previously reported rs5742909 T allele, rs11571316 G allele could significantly increase the expression of the reporter gene. Conclusion SNPs in the promoter region of CTLA4 gene might increase the susceptibility to cervical cancer by increasing CTLA4 gene expression.     

Genetic variants at 10q 23.33 are associated with plasma lipid levels in a Chinese population

Plasma lipid abnormalities are implicated in the pathogenic process of type 2 diabetes.The IDE-KIF11-HHEX gene cluster on chromosome 10q23.33 has been identified as a susceptibility locus for type 2 diabetes.We hypothesized that genetic variants at 10q23.33 may be associated with plasma lipid concentrations.Seven tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs:rs7923837,rs2488075,rs947591,rs11187146,rs5015480,rs4646957 and rs1111875) at 10q23.33 were genotyped in 3,281 subjects from a Han Chinese population,using the TaqMan OpenArray and Sequenom MassARRAY platforms.Multiple linear regression analyses showed that SNP rs7923837 in the 3’-flanking region of HHEX was significantly associated with triglyceride levels(P = 0.019,0.031 mmol/L average decrease per minor G allele) and that rs2488075 and rs947591 in the downstream region of HHEX were significantly associated with total cholesterol levels(P = 0.041,0.058 mmol/L average decrease per minor C allele and P = 0.018,0.063 mmol/L average decrease per minor A allele,respectively).However,the other four SNPs(rs11187146,rs5015480,rs4646957 and rs1111875) were not significantly associated with any plasma lipid concentrations in this Chinese population.Our data suggest that genetic variants in the IDE-KIF11-HHEX gene cluster at 10q23.33 may partially explain the variation of plasma lipid levels in the Han Chinese population.Further studies are required to confirm these findings in other populations.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the genetic variations of the six transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 gene (STEAP4)in Chinese Uygur patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to analyze the association of the representative genetic variations of STEAP4 gene with MetS in the population.Methods The sequences of STEAP4 gene functional region (all exons, exon-intron boundaries and the putative promoter region, including the -1 kb 5' and 3'untranslated regions) were amplified and sequenced for patients with MetS. The representative variations were selected based on the function (missense mutation) and linkage disequilibrium (γ2 ＞0. 8) and genotyped with TaqMan-PCR method in 1910 general populations (682 MetS and 1228 non-MetS controls). The subjects were selected from the cross-sectional study of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia from January to February 2007 among Uygur people,a relatively isolated population with a relatively homogeneous environment, in Hetian area in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Results (1) Fourteen novel and six known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)or mutations, including 2 missense mutations, were identified at the functional region of STEAP4 gene in 96 Uygur patients with MetS. The minor allele frequencies of the SNPs of STEAP4 gene in Uygur population were different from that in European and Chinese Han in Beijing area.

Association of OSMR gene polymorphisms with dilated cardiomyopathy in a Han Chinese populationCSCD

Objective To assess the association of polymorphisms of oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) gene with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in a Han Chinese population. Methods For 351 DCM patients and 418 healthy controls, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the OSMR gene, namely rs2292016 (promoter, -100G/T) and rs2278329 (missense, Asp553Asn), were genotyped with a TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. Two hundred of the patients were also followed up for (49. 85 ± 22. 52) months. Results For rs2292016, carriers of GT genotype were more likely to develop DCM compared to those with GG and TT genotypes (OR= 1.45, 95%CI:1. 09-1. 92, P = 0.01). For those who did not receive cardiac resynchronization therapy, the GG genotype of rs2292016 was an independent indicator for poor prognosis (OR-1. 69, 95%C/:1. 11-2. 63, P = 0. 017). No association was found between genotypes of rs2278329 with the susceptibility or prognosis of DCM. Conclusion Polymorphisms of the OSMR rs2292016 locus are related to the development and outcome of DCM. © 2018 West China University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the relationship between the gene tic polymorphisms of the six transmembrane protein of prostate 2 gene (STAMP2)and essential hyper.tension in Xinjiang Uygur population. Methods The sequences of STAMP2 gene functional region were sequenced in Xinjiang Uygur population with hypertension. The representative variations selected were genotyped by TaqMan-PCR method in 2047 Uygur individuals, including 810 patients with hypertension and 1237 healthy subjects. The association of the genetic variations of the STAMP2 gene with hypertension in Uygur was analyzed. Results In the three representative variations (rs8122, rs1981529 and rs34741656) genotyped, there were no significant differences in genotype distribution and allele frequencies between the essential hypertension and control groups (P＞0. 05). In ANCOVA analysis, none of the polymorphisms was significantly associated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure(P＞0.05). There were no significant differences in haplotype frequencies between the two groups either(P＞0. 05). Conclusion There was no association of the three polymorphisms (rs8122, rs1981529 and rs34741656) in the STAMP2 gene with essential hypertension in Xinjiang Uygur population.     

Tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms in the PPAR-γ and RXR-α gene and type 2 diabetes risk:a case-control study of a Chinese Han population

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-γ),which is mainly involved in adipocyte differentiation, has been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. We investigated the frequencies of two common tagging polymorphisms of the PPAR-γ gene and two of PPAR-α with minor allele frequency (MAF)≥ 0.05 in the Chinese Han population and analyzed the correlation between the different genotypes and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). TaqMan assay was performed to test the genotypes in T2DM patients (n = 1,105) and normal controls (n = 1,107). Serum adiponectin concentration was measured by ELISA kit. The variant genotypes rs17817276GG, rs3856806CT and rs3856806CT/TT of PPAR-γ were associated with T2DM, P = 0.023,0.037 and 0.018, respectively. Furthermore, the prevalence of haplotype GT in PPAR-γ was less frequent in the case subjects (0.3%) than in the controls (1.9%) [P < 0.001,OR(95%CI)=0.13 (0.06-0.31)]. Patients with genotype TT of rs3856806 had a higher serum level of adiponectin than those with the genotype CC and CT (P = 0.031 and 0.038, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between patients and controls in genotype distribution of rs6537944 and rs1045570 of the RXR-α gene. The present study suggests that the variant genotypes in the PPAR-γ gene could decrease the risk for the development of T2DM in the Chinese Han population.     

Toll样受体9基因启动子单核苷酸多态性与儿童变应性哮喘的相关性

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the toll-like receptor 9 gene (TLR9)in Chinese Han children from Zhejiang province, and their associations with asthma susceptibility and phenotypes. Methods A case-control study was conducted. A total of 312 asthmatic children aged between 1.9 and 11.6 and 339 age matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study from April 2007 to November 2008. The -1486 C/T in rs187084 and -1237 C/T in rs5743836 loci of the TLR9 gene were genotyped by direct DNA sequencing of the PCR products. Serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-12 and IL-4 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Serum levels of total IgE were detected by chemiluminescence, and serum levels of ildren (P＜0.01). The CC genotype had the lowest levels of serum IFN-γand the highest levels of serum IL-4 among the three genotypes. There were no significant differences in these cytokines among the healthy controls (P＞0.05). No statistical differences of serum IL-12 were found among the three genotypes in the two groups (P＞0.05). (4) There were no significant differences of total IgE (log-transformed) among the three genotypes in the asthmatic children (P＞0. 05). Conclusion The -1237 C/T polymorphism of TLR9 gene was not detected in Chinese Han children in this study. The - 1486 C/T polymorphism was associated with the levels of serum IFN-γ and IL-4 in children with asthma.However, there were no correlations between the -1486C/T polymorphism and serum IL-12 levels, total IgE levels or asthmatic susceptibility.
