One-third of first-degree relatives of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) suffer from other autoimmune diseases, including type I diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune thyroiditis. Recently, 1858 C/T polymorphism of PTPN22 gene was reported to predispose to these autoimmune diseases. We decided to investigate whether PTPN22 gene polymorphism was also involved in the genetic predisposition to pSS in a case-control study, including 183 patients with pSS and 172 healthy controls. No significant differences in allele (T allele frequency: 7.7% in patients with pSS vs 7.8% in controls, P=0.9) and genotype frequencies of PTPN22 polymorphism were detected between patients with pSS and controls. PTPN 22 gene polymorphism was not associated with a specific pattern of autoantibody secretion either. Thus, 1858 C/T polymorphism of PTPN22 gene is not involved in genetic predisposition to pSS.
原发性干燥综合征(pSS)患者的一级亲属中有三分之一患有其他自身免疫性疾病,包括I型糖尿病、系统性红斑狼疮和自身免疫性甲状腺炎。最近,据报道PTPN22基因的1858 C/T多态性易引发这些自身免疫性疾病。我们决定在一项病例对照研究中调查PTPN22基因多态性是否也与pSS的遗传易感性有关,该研究包括183例pSS患者和172例健康对照。在pSS患者和对照之间,未检测到PTPN22多态性的等位基因(T等位基因频率:pSS患者中为7.7%,对照中为7.8%,P = 0.9)和基因型频率有显著差异。PTPN 22基因多态性也与自身抗体分泌的特定模式无关。因此,PTPN22基因的1858 C/T多态性不参与pSS的遗传易感性。
