MtDNA haplogroups J and K have been associated with a decreased risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). To confirm this finding, we compared the distribution of mtDNA haplogroups J and K in a large sample of Australian patients with PD (n = 890) to population-based controls (n = 3,491). We assigned subjects to haplogroups J or K using standard PCR/RFLP techniques. Of the 890 subjects with PD, 10.6% were haplogroup J (95% CI 8.6-12.8, n = 94) and 7.1% were haplogroup K (95% CI 5.5-8.9, n = 63). In our controls, 10.2% belonged to haplogroup J (95% CI 9.2-11.2, n = 356), and 7.8% were in haplogroup K (95% CI 6.9-8.7, n = 272). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of mtDNA haplogroup J or K in PD patients compared to population-based controls. Our findings indicate that mtDNA haplogroups J and K are not associated with a lower risk of PD.
线粒体DNA单倍群J和K与患帕金森病(PD)风险降低有关。为证实这一发现,我们比较了澳大利亚大量帕金森病患者样本(n = 890)与基于人群的对照组(n = 3491)中线粒体DNA单倍群J和K的分布情况。我们使用标准的聚合酶链反应/限制性片段长度多态性(PCR/RFLP)技术将受试者归类为单倍群J或K。在890名帕金森病患者中,10.6%为单倍群J(95%置信区间8.6 - 12.8,n = 94),7.1%为单倍群K(95%置信区间5.5 - 8.9,n = 63)。在我们的对照组中,10.2%属于单倍群J(95%置信区间9.2 - 11.2,n = 356),7.8%为单倍群K(95%置信区间6.9 - 8.7,n = 272)。与基于人群的对照组相比,帕金森病患者中线粒体DNA单倍群J或K的患病率没有显著差异。我们的研究结果表明,线粒体DNA单倍群J和K与较低的帕金森病风险无关。
