To study the function of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PRKCZ gene, a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes in Han population of North China, in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Bioinformatic methods and reporter gene activity determination were used to analyze the function of the 5 SNPs.
The reporter gene activities of different alleles of 2 SNPs, rs427811 and rs809912, were obviously different, which implies that these 2 SNPs might be susceptibility loci of the disease.
The PRKCZ gene is further confirmed to be a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes in Han population of North China. Two SNPs in the gene play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease by affecting the expression level of PRKCZ gene.
研究蛋白激酶Cζ型(PRKCZ)基因的5个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)在华北地区汉族人群2型糖尿病易感基因中的作用及其在疾病发病机制中的作用。
采用生物信息学方法和报告基因活性测定法分析5个SNP的功能。
rs427811和rs809912这2个SNP的不同等位基因的报告基因活性存在明显差异,提示这2个SNP可能是该疾病的易感位点。
进一步证实PRKCZ基因是华北地区汉族人群2型糖尿病的易感基因。该基因中的2个SNP通过影响PRKCZ基因的表达水平在疾病发病机制中发挥作用。
