老年痴呆患者apoE基因型分布

The apolipoprotein E genotype in Alzheimer's Disease

目的观察中国老年痴呆患者ａｐｏＥ基因型的分布，初步探讨ａｐｏＥ在老年痴呆发病中的作用。方法应用聚合酶链式反应（ＰＣＲ）对３５例健康人、２３例多梗塞性痴呆（ＭＩＤ）及１７例老年性痴呆（ＡＤ）患者进行ａｐｏＥ基因多态性分析，测定血清胆固醇（ＴＣ）、甘油三酯（ＴＧ）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（ＨＤＬ－Ｃ）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（ＬＤＬ－Ｃ）、载脂蛋白ＡⅠ（ａｐｏＡⅠ）、载脂蛋白Ｂ（ａｐｏＢ）和载脂蛋白Ｅ（ａｐｏＥ）的浓度。结果ＡＤ组与健康对照组在ａｐｏＥ基因频率及等位基因频率分布上的差异有显著性（χ２＝１１．５，Ｐ＜０．０５；χ２＝１６．２，Ｐ＜０．０１）；ＭＩＤ组与健康对照组间差异无显著性（Ｐ＞０．０５）；应用Ｗｏｏｌｆ公式计算，发现ａｐｏＥε４等位基因与ＡＤ之间有显著性关联（χ２＝７．７，Ｐ＜０．０１），相关危险度（ＲＲ）＝３．０。ＡＤ组血清ａｐｏＥ水平显著高于对照组（Ｐ＜０．０５），而ＴＣ、ＬＤＬ－Ｃ、ａｐｏＡⅠ、ａｐｏＢ显著低于对照组（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结论结果提示ａｐｏＥε４等位基因与老年性痴呆有显著性关联，ａｐｏＥε４可能是ＡＤ发病的危险因素。

Objective To investigate the distribution of apolipoprotein E genotype and explored the role of apoE in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD). Methods ApoE genotype was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method in 23 MID,17 AD and 35 healthy control. In addition, the concentrations of serum TC、TG、HDLC、LDLC、apoAⅠ、apoB and apoE were determined. Results The apoE genotype frequencies and apoE allele frequencies significantly differed between AD and healthy control(χ2=115,P<005;χ2=162,P<001). The ε4 allele of apoE significantly associated with AD as analyzed by Woolf's formula (χ2=77,P<001,RR=30). Serum apoE level in AD was higher than that in healthy control, but the concentrations of TC、LDLC、apoAⅠ and apoB were lower than those in healthy control. Conclusions The result suggested that apoE ε4 allele was significantly associated with AD and apoE ε4 allele may be a risk factor in the pathogenesis of AD.
