We evaluated the association of the platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) gene polymorphism (A224D) with the susceptibility and severity of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a Japanese population. DNA was collected from 162 Japanese patients with clinically definite 'conventional' MS (MS) and 245 healthy controls. The missense mutation A224D that impairs PAF-PAFR signaling was determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism. The frequency of the AD/DD genotypes was significantly higher in MS patients (21.0%) than in healthy controls (13.5%) (p=0.045; odds ratio (OR), 1.71; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-2.89). Moreover, the frequency of D allele in MS patients (11.7%) was also significantly higher than those in healthy controls (6.9%) (p=0.019; OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.10-2.89). These findings suggest that the PAFR gene missense mutation has a relation to the susceptibility for MS.
我们评估了血小板活化因子受体(PAFR)基因多态性(A224D)与日本人群中多发性硬化症(MS)易感性及严重程度的关联。收集了162例临床确诊为“传统型”MS的日本患者及245名健康对照者的DNA。通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析确定了损害PAF-PAFR信号传导的错义突变A224D。MS患者中AD/DD基因型的频率(21.0%)显著高于健康对照者(13.5%)(p = 0.045;优势比(OR)为1.71;95%置信区间(CI)为1.01 - 2.89)。此外,MS患者中D等位基因的频率(11.7%)也显著高于健康对照者(6.9%)(p = 0.019;OR为1.78;95% CI为1.10 - 2.89)。这些发现表明PAFR基因错义突变与MS易感性有关。
