In a case-control study using a clinically well-defined group of 41 multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients and 93 control subjects, the interleukin (IL)-8 (-251) TT genotype was associated with an approximately fourfold increased risk for MSA and, furthermore, this risk increased elevenfold with the simultaneous presence of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1: E469K) KK genotype, suggesting a gene-gene interaction. These data support a role for inflammation-related genes in risk for MSA.
在一项病例对照研究中,选取了临床明确诊断的41例多系统萎缩(MSA)患者和93名对照者,白细胞介素(IL)-8(-251)TT基因型与MSA风险增加约四倍相关,此外,当同时存在细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1: E469K)KK基因型时,该风险增加至十一倍,提示存在基因-基因相互作用。这些数据支持炎症相关基因在MSA风险中发挥作用。
