METHODS： A case-control study was conducted to compare the distribution of genotype and genetic frequency of MCP-1-2518A/G, IL-8-251A/T gene polymorphism among AP （n = 101）, including mild AP （n = 78） and severe AP （n = 23） and control healthy individuals （n = 120） with polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism （PCR-RFLP） and DNA sequencing, and analyze the relationship between the MCP-1-2518A/G, IL-8-251A/T gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to AP. RESULTS： Significant differences were found in the distribution of genotype of MCP-1-2518A/G between the healthy control group and mild AP group （χ^2 = 32.015, P 〈 0.001）, the same was evident between the healthy control group and severe AP group （χ^2 = 12.932, P 〈 0.05） in Suzhou. However, no difference of genotypic distribution was noted between MAP and SAP （Z2 = 0.006, P = 0.997）. The genetic frequencies of G allele in mild AP were 72.4% （113/156） and 76.1% （35/46） in severe AP, both were higher than the controls, 47.1% （113/240） （χ^2 = 24.804; P 〈 0.001, and 4,2 = 13：005; P 〈 0.001）, but no difference was found between severe AP and mild AP （χ^2 = 0.242, P = 0.623）. No difference was found in the distribution of genotype of IL-8-251A/T between the healthy control group and AP group neither in the frequency of A and T allele. CONCLUSION： The MCP-1-2518 AA genotype of the population in Suzhou may be a protective genotype of AP, while one with higher frequency of G allele is more likely to suffer from pancreatitis. But the genotype of AA and the frequency of G allele could not predict the risk of severe AP. No correlation is found between the IL-8-251 polymorphism and the liability of AP.展开更多
