α-共核蛋白基因启动子区微卫星多态与晚发散发性帕金森病的关联研究

目的　探讨α 共核蛋白基因启动子区微卫星多态与晚发散发性帕金森病 (Parkinson’sdis ease ,PD)发病风险间的关系。方法　采用扩增片段长度多态方法和微卫星荧光标记 半自动基因分型技术 ,对上海汉族 13 5例晚发性散发性PD患者和 170名正常人进行α 共核蛋白基因微卫星多态分析 ,并通过比值比 (oddsratios ,OR)与PD进行相关分析。结果　病例 对照组间各等位基因频率分布差异有显著性( χ2 =14 .73 ,df =7,P =0 .0 4)。PD组 2 69bp等位基因频率最高 ( 0 .3 89) ,对照组中 2 71bp等位基因频率最高 ( 0 .3 5 9)。≤ 2 67bp等位基因与PD呈正关联 (OR =5 .2 2 8,95 %CI :1.2 48～ 2 7.2 0 2 ,χ2 =6.416,P =0 .0 11) ,而 2 73bp等位基因与PD呈负关联 (OR =0 .63 8,95 %CI :0 .44 0～ 0 .92 6,χ2 =5 .64 4,P =0 .0 18) ;病例 对照组间各基因型的分布差异无显著性 ( χ2 =16.3 68,df =12 ,P =0 .175 )。但含有≤ 2 67bp等位基因的基因型可增加PD的发病风险 (OR =4.5 94,95 %CI :0 .94～ 2 2 .49,χ2 =4.2 2 4,P =0 .0 4)。PD组杂合度为 40 % ,对照组为 5 0 %。结论　α 共核蛋白基因启动子区的微卫星多态与晚发性散发性PD的发病风险有关。

The α-synuclein gene microsatellite polymorphism and late-onset sporadic Parkinson's disease susceptibility

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of the microsatellite polymorphisms in the promoter region of alpha-synuclein gene with the late-onset sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility. METHODS: The microsatellite polymorphism of alpha-synuclein gene was analyzed with amplified fragment length polymorphism (Amp-FLP) and semiautomatic fluorescent labeled genotyping technique. Association analysis was performed in 135 unrelated late-onset sporadic PD patients and 170 age-matched healthy controls. RESULTS: The distribution of the alleles of the dinucleotide repeats variants of alpha-synuclein gene promoter region in PD cases was significantly different from that in the healthy controls. The most frequent allele in PD patients was allele 269 bp, but in controls it was the 271 bp allele. Alleles of
