The occurrence of intracranial aneurysms and of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are influenced by genetic factors. Recent genomic studies in Japan have defined 3 chromosomal loci and 1 haplotype of elastin polymorphisms as important risk factors, both for affected sib pairs and sporadic patients.
We have genotyped 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the elastin gene and evaluated their allelic association with intracranial aneurysm in a Central European sample of 30 familial and 175 sporadic patients and 235 population controls.
We found no allelic association between this elastin polymorphism haplotype and intracranial aneurysm.
Our data probably reflect increased genetic heterogeneity of intracranial aneurysm in Europe compared with Japan.
颅内动脉瘤的发生以及动脉瘤性蛛网膜下腔出血受遗传因素影响。日本近期的基因组研究已确定3个染色体位点以及1种弹性蛋白多态性单倍型是患病同胞对和散发性患者的重要危险因素。
我们对弹性蛋白基因中的2个单核苷酸多态性进行了基因分型,并在一个由30例家族性患者、175例散发性患者和235名人群对照组成的中欧样本中评估了它们与颅内动脉瘤的等位基因关联。
我们发现这种弹性蛋白多态性单倍型与颅内动脉瘤之间不存在等位基因关联。
我们的数据可能反映出与日本相比,欧洲颅内动脉瘤的遗传异质性增加。
