Background: Previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) has revealed the association between MYP10 at 8p23 and MYP15 at 10q21.1 and high myopia (HM) in a French population. This study is managed to discover the connection between some single nucleotide polymorphism (located at MYP10 and MYP15) and Han Chinese HM.
Methods and Results: This case-control association study contained 1673 samples, including 869 ophthalmic patients and 804 controls. Twelve tag SNPs have been selected from the MYP10 and MYP15 loci and genotyped by SNaPshot method. Among 12 SNPs, rs4840437 and rs6989782 in TNKS gene were found significant association with HM. Carriers of rs4840437G allele and rs4840437GG genotype created a low risk of high myopia (P = .036, OR = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.71–0.93; P = .016, OR = 0.73, 95%CI = 0.56–0.96; respectively). Carriers of rs6989782T allele and rs6989782TT+CT genotype also had a decreased risk of high myopia (P = .048, OR = 0.82, 95%CI = 0.71–0.94; P = .006, OR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.59–0.92; respectively). Other 10 SNPs displaced nonsignificant association with HM. Additionally, the risk haplotype AC and the protective haplotype GT, generated by two SNPs in TNKS, were considerably more likely to be association with HM (for AC, P = .002 and OR = 1.26; for GT, P = .027 and OR = 0.84).
Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that some heritable variants in the TNKS gene are associated with HM in the Han population. The possible functions of TNKS in the development and pathogenesis of hereditary high myopia still require further researches to identify. 相似文献
In a biological microenvironment, free fatty acids (FFA) as ubiquitous biological molecules might interact with nanoparticles (NPs) and consequently change the toxicological responses. However, whether the chemical structures of FFA could influence their interactions with NPs remain unknown. This study investigated the interactions between ZnO NPs and saturated or unsaturated FFA (complexed to BSA), namely stearic acid (SA, C18:0), oleic acid (OA, C18:1), and α-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3). It was shown that BSA, SA, OA, and ALA increased the atomic force microscope (AFM) heights as well the polydispersity index (PDI) of ZnO NPs. BSA modestly protected THP-1 macrophages from ZnO NP exposure, whereas OA and ALA led to relatively less cyto-protective effects of BSA. Moreover, only co-exposure to ZnO NPs and SA significantly promoted the release of interleukin-8. BSA, SA, OA, and ALA equally changed intracellular ROS and Zn ions associated with ZnO exposure, but co-exposure to ZnO NPs and OA/ALA particularly activated the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-apoptosis genes. In combination, these results showed that FFA could influence the colloidal aspects and toxicological signaling pathway of ZnO NPs, which is dependent on the number of unsaturated bonds of FFA. 相似文献
目的:探讨40岁以上高龄女性体外受精-胚胎移植(IVF-ET)的妊娠结局,旨在为高龄女性提供生育咨询以及为改善高龄女性个体化辅助生殖治疗结局提供临床依据。方法:选择我院生殖中心2015年1月—2017年12月女方年龄≥40岁且使用自身卵子行体外受精的共2 467个治疗周期资料,对各项临床数据进行回顾性分析。结果:40岁及以上行辅助生殖治疗的患者,随着女性年龄增加获卵数明显减少(40~48岁女性平均获卵数分别为2.97、 2.69、2.17、2.01、1.77、1.61、1.68、1.29和1.00,44~48岁与40~43岁依次组间比较均P<0.05),尤其是44岁以上女性胚胎发育潜能明显降低(40~48岁囊胚形成率分别为48.90%、43.72%、33.67%、34.29%、24.39%、21.14%、26.32%、16.67%和0%,44~48岁与40~43岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)。共有518个周期行新鲜胚胎移植,结果显示,随女性年龄增加,临床妊娠率(40~48岁临床妊娠率分别为26.92%、21.15%、20.79%、10.96%、18.87%、11.11%、5.88%、0%和0%,43~48岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)、种植率(40~48岁种植率分别为23.65%、19.51%、17.70%、8.54%、7.49%、10.81%、5.56%、0%和0%,43~48岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)和活产率均显著降低(40~46岁活产率分别为18.46%、10.58%、9.90%、5.48%、5.66%、2.78%和5.88%,43~46岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05),43岁以上者结局更差。44岁以上女性自然流产率明显增高(40~45岁流产率分别为31.43%、50.00%、52.38%、50.00%、70.00%和75.00%,44~45岁与40~43岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)。46岁女性仅1例妊娠并分娩,47岁和48岁女性均无成功妊娠。与抗苗勒管激素(AMH)>1.0 ng/mL组相比,AMH≤1.0 ng/mL组妊娠率、种植率及活产率均显著下降(27.04% vs. 14.74%,22.99% vs. 13.50%,15.88% vs. 7.37%;均P<0.05),流产率明显升高(41.27% vs. 50.00%,P<0.05)。结论:≥40岁高龄女性随年龄增长生育力逐渐降低。40~43岁年龄段女性助孕仍有一定的价值,尤其是卵巢仍有一定储备者(AMH>1.0 ng/mL),但44岁以上女性原则上不再建议ART助孕,对于46岁以上卵巢功能衰竭的女性强烈建议卵子捐赠或收养。 相似文献
