To explore the association of nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) gene variable number of tandem repeat(VNTR) polymorphism in intron 4 and an 894(G/T) mutation at exon 7 with recurrent early spontaneous abortion (RESA).
One hundred and forty RESA women (patient group) and 140 healthy women with at least 1 pregnancy and without a history of pregnancy complications (control group) were included. The genotypes of NOS3 gene VNTR polymorphism were determined by polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. The 894(G/T) mutation of genotypes of NOS3 gene at exon 7 was assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restrictive fragment length polymorphism.
The frequencies of aa and ba genotypes and a allele of NOS3 gene were higher in patient group than in control group (chi square: 4.51, P< 0.05; chi square: 4.29, P<0.05). The aa and ba genotypes were significantly associated with RESA (OR:1.8, 95% CI: 1.04-3.24). There was no significant difference in TT and GT genotypes and T allele of NOS3 gene between RESA patient group and control group (chi square: 1.16, P> 0.05; chi square:1.12, P> 0.05). 894(G/T) polymorphism may be not associated with RESA.
The genetic polymorphism of NOS3 gene 27 bp VNTR was associated with RESA. The genetic polymorphism of NOS3 gene 894(G/T) may be not associated with RESA. These results support that a allele of the NOS3 gene may be susceptibility allele.
探讨一氧化氮合酶3(NOS3)基因第4内含子可变数目串联重复序列(VNTR)多态性及第7外显子894(G/T)突变与复发性早期自然流产(RESA)的关系。
纳入140例RESA患者(患者组)和140例至少有1次妊娠且无妊娠并发症史的健康女性(对照组)。采用聚合酶链反应和琼脂糖凝胶电泳法检测NOS3基因VNTR多态性的基因型。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性法评估NOS3基因第7外显子894(G/T)突变的基因型。
患者组NOS3基因aa和ba基因型及a等位基因频率高于对照组(χ²=4.51,P<0.05;χ²=4.29,P<0.05)。aa和ba基因型与RESA显著相关(OR:1.8,95%CI:1.04-3.24)。RESA患者组与对照组之间NOS3基因TT和GT基因型及T等位基因频率差异无统计学意义(χ²=1.16,P>0.05;χ²=1.12,P>0.05)。894(G/T)多态性可能与RESA无关。
NOS3基因27 bp VNTR的基因多态性与RESA有关。NOS3基因894(G/T)的基因多态性可能与RESA无关。这些结果支持NOS3基因的a等位基因可能是易感等位基因。
