Parkin基因启动子区-258T/G多态性与广西地区散发性帕金森病的相关性分析

Objective To investigate the association between the-258T/G polymorphism.in the pro-moter of parkin gene and the risk for sporadic parkinson's disease (SPD) in Guangxi Province, and in relationto the age of onset, of PD patients. Methods PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis were used to determine thegenotype of-258T/G polymorphism between all patients and healthy controls. Results The G allele was morecommon in patients than controls (55.20%:43.33% ,x2=6.898, P<0.05, OR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.13 ～2.30). The frequency of GG genotype was higher in patients than in controls (28.00 %: 18.33%, x2=7.159, P<0.05, OR=2.75, 95% CI : 1.31 ～ 5.77). The frequency of TG + GG genotype was higher in pa-tients than in controls (82.40%:68.33%, x2=6.551, P<0.05, OR=2.17.95%CI: 1.20 ～3.93). Afterbeing stratified by onset age, the frequencies of the G allele and GG genotype were significantly higher in pa-tients with onset age over 50 years than those in controls respectively. On the other hand, the frequency was notsignificantly different between the younger onset PD patients and the controls. Conclusion The parkin promot-er-258T/G polymorphism might be a risk factor for PD in Guangxi Province, and the G allele was increasedwith increasing age.
