单胺氧化酶B和NAD(P)H醌氧化还原酶基因多态性与帕金森病的关系

目的 探讨参与多巴胺代谢的单胺氧化酶B（monoamine oxidase B,MAO-B)内含子13A／G多态性，NAD（P）H醌氧化还原酶基因[NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase,NQO1]cDNA609C/T多态性与帕金森病（Parkinson's disease,PD)遗传易感性的关系。方法 应用等位基因特异PCR扩增分析MAO－B基因的多态性，用PCR－RFLP分析NQO1基因多态性。结果 MAO－BA／G等位基因频率、各基因型频率PD组与对照组差异无显著性。NQO1基因T等位基因频率PD组（52％）高于正常对照组（43％）带T碱基的NQO1基因型频率PD组显著高于正常对照组（P＜0．05），其患PD的相对危险度（odds ratio,OR)为3．8。在带有A等位基因MAO－B基因型的个体，带有T碱基因的T等位基因是PD的危险因素。MAO－B基因的A等位基因型与NQO1基因的T等位基因的基因型可相互协同，增加PD发生的风险。

Polymorphism of MAO-B gene and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase gene in Parkinson's disease

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Parkinson's disease(PD) is associated with genetic polymorphism of intron 13 of monoamine oxidase B(MAO-B) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase(NQO1) gene cDNA 609C to T. METHODS: Association study was performed in 126 PD patients and 136 healthy control subjects matched for age, sex and origin. The NQO1 gene polymorphism was analyzed with the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, the polymorphism of intron 13 of MAO-B was analyzed by allele- specific PCR. RESULTS: The allelic frequency of the mutant T allele of NQO1 gene was significantly higher in the PD patients as compared to the controls(P<0.05). The relative risk of suffering from PD increased (OR=3.8) in the individuals with T allelic genotype of NQO1 gene, and the odds ratio was as high as 5.7 when the individuals with A or AA genotype of MAO-B gene coexisted with the T allele genotype of NQO1 gene. CONCLUSION: The cDNA 609T allele of NQO1 gene might be a risk factor of PD, which could be associated with the genetic susceptibility of PD. The high activity A or AA genotype of MAO-B and the low activity genotype of NQO1 gene might have synergistic effect. When both genotypes coexist, the risk of suffering PD will be increased greatly.
