Results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the distributions of the -455G/A genotype and allele frequency between the Uygurs and the Han. Plasma fibrinogen levels in cerebral infarction patients among the Uygurs and the Han were higher than those among healthy subjects. In particular, the frequencies of the -455G/A AA and -148C/T TT genotypes were significantly higher than in healthy subjects. Individuals carrying the A or T allele had a higher incidence of cerebral infarction compared with those carrying the G or C allele. Our experimental findings indicate that the -148C/T and -455G/A polymorphisms are associated with cerebral infarction in Xinjiang Uygur and Han Chinese subjects. The susceptibility- conferring alleles are -148T and -455A, and the susceptibility-conferring genotype is -455G/A ＋ AA.展开更多

Methods Genetic association studies on evaluating the β-fibrinogen gene -455G/A polymorphism and cerebral infarction involving Chinese population published before December 2005 were collected from database of PubMed, EMBASE, and CNKI. All the data in literature were abstracted based on the defined selection criteria by two independent investigators. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot and the odd ratios of all studies were combined dependent on the result of heterogeneity test among the individual studies. The software Review Manager （Version 4.2） was used for meta-analysis. Results Eleven studies including 1405 patients and 1600 controls met the selection criteria. There was no publication bias in 11 reviewed studies. Heterogeneity test of reviewed studies showed statistically significant differences （χ^2=24.58, P=0.006） among the ORs of individual studies. The combined OR of 11 studies of susceptibility to cerebral infarction in –455A allele carriers compared with the -455G/G wild homozygotes was 1.33 （95%CI 1.04-1.71, P=0.02）. In the patients with cerebral infarction in 6 studies, the summarized average plasma fibrinogen level of allele A carrier was 0.29 g/L （95%CI 0.14-0.44, P=0.0002） higher than that of -455G/G homozygous ones. Conclusions β-fibrinogen gene -455G/A polymorphism might contribute to susceptibility of cerebral infarction in Chinese population; allele A increases the individual susceptibility to the disease.展开更多

Methods Ninety-one patients (63.5±10.1 years) with ischemic stroke and 74 elderly control subjects (60.6±10.8 years) without any thromboembolic events and 98 healthy blood donators as young control (37.5±13.3 years) were enrolled in this trial. The β-fibrinogen gene -455A/G polymorphism was analyzed for all subjects by PCR-RFLP with the restrictive enzyme Hae Ⅲ, while plasma fibrinogen levels were obtained from the prothrombin time (PT) assay. For statistical analysis, the parameters were compared between any two different groups by the unpaired Student’s t test and the Chi-square test. Before analysis, log transformations for concentrations of fibrinogen were carried out.Results H2 allele frequency was higher in male ischemic stroke patients than in the elderly control (22.7% vs 7.1%, χ 2=5.56, P【0.02). There was no significant difference between the female groups. In those patients without any thromboembolic events (both elderly and young control groups), the frequency of H2 decreased with age (≤40, 21.3%; 41-59, 15.4%; and ≥60, 10.2%). In the male elderly and young control groups, the level of plasma fibrinogen was lower in the H1H1 genotype (287±96*!mg/dl and 234±58*!mg/dl) than in H1H2 and H2H2 (331±44*!mg/dl and 307±55*!mg/dl; t=2.53 and 9.67, P【0.05). In the female elderly groups, this tendency was not found.Conclusion Plasma fibrinogen expression is affected by the β-fibrinogen gene -455A/G polymorphism, and the H2 allele may be a risk factor for ischemic stroke in Chinese males.展开更多

In this study, we summarize the results of published works in this field by a meta-analysis. Data sources Genetic association studies evaluating the β-fibdnogen gene -148C/T polymorphisms and cerebral infarction involving Chinese population published before December 2005 were collected from PubMed, EMBASE and CNKI. Study selection Case control studies involving unrelated, Han subjects aged from 18 to 80 years, and the internationally recognized diagnostic standard of cerebral infarction and genotype frequencies in control group consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were used. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot and the odds ratios of all studies were combined dependent on the result of heterogeneity test among the individual studies. The software Review Manager （Version 4.2） was used for meta-analysis. Results Eleven studies including 1223 patients and 1433 controls met the selection criteria. There was no heterogeneity among the odds ratios （ORs） of individual studies （Х^2=17.82, P=0.06）. The combined OFt of susceptibility to cerebral infarction in -148T allele carriers compared to the wild homozygote was 1.32 （95%CI 1.12 to 1.55, P=-0.0008）. In the patients with cerebral infarction, the average plasma fibrinogen level of allele T carrier was 0.42 g/L （95% CI 0.29 to 0.54, P〈0.001）, higher than that of -148C/C homozygous ones. Conclusions β3-fibrinogen gene -148C/T polymorphism might contribute to susceptibility to cerebral infarction in Han Chinese. To reach a definitive conclusion, further gene to gene and gene to environment interactions studies on β3-fibrinogen polymorphisms and cerebral infarction with large sample size are required.展开更多

OBJECTIVE： To explore the frequency distribution of Fg β- 148C/T gene polymorphism and its relationship with plasma Fg levels in patients with cerebral infarction. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Case control experiment of gene polymorphism was performed at the Central Laboratory of Qingdao University Medical College from January 2003 to June 2004. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 88 patients with cerebral infarction were recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College, including 52 males and 36 females, averaging （61±14） years of age In addition, 80 healthy cases served as the control group, comprising 48 males and 32 females, with an average age of （58 ± 12） years. METHODS： Blood DNA was extracted, and electrophoresis results were observed using an ultraviolet single photon image system. The frequency distribution of Fg β -148C/T was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Plasma Fg levels were measured by cerebral infarction time. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Plasma Fg β -148C/T gene polymorphism and plasma Fg levels in patients with cerebral infarction. RESULTS： The frequency of the T allele, and plasma Fg levels in CC, CT, and CC＋CT genotype subgroup, were significantly greater in the cerebral infraction group, compared with the control group （P 〈 0.05）. However, there was no significant difference between the TT genotype subgroup and the control group （P 〉 0.05）. The plasma Fg levels in the CT, TT, and CT＋TT genotype groups were significantly greater than the CC genotype group （P 〈 0.05）. However, in the control group, plasma Fg levels in the TT genotype subgroup were significantly greater than the remaining genotype subgroups （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Plasma Fg β -148C/T gene polymorphism is an important hereditary factor for differences in plasma Fg levels. The T allele plays a crucial role in influencing plasma Fg levels in cerebral infarction. Fg β - 148C/T may be a susceptibility factor for cerebral infarction.展开更多
