Thus, it is essential to further explore the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and risk of pulmonary tuberculosis （PTB）. Methods： A systematic review and meta-analysis about the association between Fok[, TaqI, Apal and Bsm[ polymorphisms and PTB susceptibility was conducted. Statistical Package for Social Science （Version 13.0） and Review Manager （Version 4.2, The Cochrane Collaboration） were used to analyze the data reported in studies. Results： A total of 13 studies with 2 262 cases and 2 833 controls were involved in the FokI polymorphism, and the results showed FokI polymorphism was associated with PTB susceptibility （allele f vs F： OR=1.12, 95% CI=[1.02, 1.23]; the additive effect model ff vs FF： OR=1.40, 95%CI=[1.10, 1.77]; the recessive genetic model firs Ff＋FF： OR=1.39, 95%CI=[1.12, 1.71]）. No significant associations were observed between TaqI （15 studies with 3 031 cases and 3 132 controls）, ApaI （7 studies with 1 495 cases and 1 922 controls）, BsmI （6 studies with 919 cases and 1 250 controls） variants and PTB susceptibility. Conclusion： We found variant Fokl polymorphism of VDR gene may play a risky role in PTB development, and the genetic model was presumed to be recessive.展开更多

Methods Case-control studies on relationship of Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser polymorphisms in FSHR gene and PCOS susceptibility were searched from PubMed, ISI web of knowledge, EBSCO, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） databases up to March 21, 2013. The pooled odds ratio （OR） and 95% confidence interval （CO were calculated using fixed- or random-effect model based on heterogeneity test in 5 genotype models analyses. Results A total of 11 studies were included in the Meta-analysis. The random-effect analysis showed Asn680Ser was significantly associated with the reduced susceptibility to PCOS with dominant model （Asn/Asn＋Asn/Ser vs. Ser/Ser, OR=0.83, 95% CI： 0.69-1.00）, recessive model （Asn/Asn vs. Asn/Ser＋ Ser/Ser, OR=0.84, 95% CI： 0.72-0.98）, homozygote comparison （Ash/Ash vs. Ser/Ser, 0R=0.79, 95% CI： 0.63-0.98）, and the allele contrast （Asn vs. Ser, OR=0.87, 95% CI： 0.79-0.97） respectively（P=0.02, I2=56.0%）, being protective factors for PCOS. However, no significant associations were found between Thr307Ala and PCOS. Conclusion There might be a significant association between Asn680Ser polymorphism and PCOS.展开更多
Objective: Allelic polymorphisms of CCR5△32CCR2b-64I,CX3CR1-2491280M and SDF1-3'A associatedwith HIV-1 infection and disease progression wereinvestigated in indigenous Uygur populations from theXinjiang Uygur Aut...Objective: Allelic polymorphisms of CCR5△32CCR2b-64I,CX3CR1-2491280M and SDF1-3'A associatedwith HIV-1 infection and disease progression wereinvestigated in indigenous Uygur populations from theXinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. Methods: The study population comprised 316 healthyUygur subjects with an age range of 1-80 years old, fromwhom whole peripheral blood samples were collected andnone were HIV-1 seropositive. Genomic DNA samples werepurified using a Qiagen Blood Kit. Genotyping of theaforementioned four alleles was performed using PCR orPCR/RFLP assay, and further confirmed by direct DNAsequencing. Results: The allelic frequencies in Chinese Uygurpopulation were as follows: 3.48% for CCR5△32; 19.45% forCCR2b-64I; 13.8% for CX3CR1-2491280M haplotype, and20.41% for SDF1-3'A. Mutant allele distributions amongUygur populations were in accordance with theHardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No statistical difference wasfound between the frequency of the three HIV coreceptors andtheir respective ligand genes. Conclusion: The frequency of SDF1-3'A andCX3CR1-2491280M haplotypes in these Uygur populationswas similar to that of Caucasian people, while the frequency ofthe CCR2b-64I haplotype more closely matched the HanChinese. The frequency of CCR5△A32 in Uygur populationswas between Caucasian and Hall frequencies, the more closelymatching the frequency in Medi-Asia people. No geneticlinkage between any two of the three HIV coreceptor geneswas found, but obvious genetic linkages existed betweenCX3CR1-249I and CX3CR1-280M,with even higher linkagedegrees than Caucasian people.展开更多

In the present study, we carried out a haplotype analysis to identify the exact bound-ary by using the combination of a set of microsatellite mark-ers and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in two major NPC families. We defined the exact distal bound-ary between D4S1577 and D4S3347, and consequently shortened the susceptibility locus to an 8.29-cM segment on 4p11-p14.展开更多

文摘In our previous study, one candidate suscepti-bility locus for familial nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has been defined to a 14.21-cM region on 4p15.1-q12, whereas the distal minimum boundary of this region remained to be further determined in respect that the two markers D4S2996 and D4S428 were uninformative. In the present study, we carried out a haplotype analysis to identify the exact bound-ary by using the combination of a set of microsatellite mark-ers and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in two major NPC families. We defined the exact distal bound-ary between D4S1577 and D4S3347, and consequently shortened the susceptibility locus to an 8.29-cM segment on 4p11-p14.
