To further explore reports of association of alcohol dependence and response to acamprosate treatment with the GATA4 rs13273672 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), we genotyped this and 10 other GATA4 SNPs in 816 alcohol-dependent cases and 1248 controls. We tested for association of alcohol dependence with the 11 SNPs individually and performed a global test for association using a principle components analysis. Our analyses demonstrate significant association between GATA4 and alcohol dependence at the gene level (P = 0.009) but no association with rs13273672. Further studies are needed to identify potential causal GATA4 variation(s) and the functional mechanism(s) contributing to this association.
为了进一步探究酒精依赖与对阿坎酸治疗反应和GATA4基因rs13273672单核苷酸多态性(SNP)之间关联的报道,我们对816例酒精依赖患者和1248名对照者的该SNP以及其他10个GATA4基因SNP进行了基因分型。我们分别检测了这11个SNP与酒精依赖的关联,并使用主成分分析进行了整体关联检验。我们的分析表明,在基因水平上GATA4与酒精依赖之间存在显著关联(P = 0.009),但与rs13273672无关联。需要进一步研究以确定潜在的因果GATA4变异以及促成这种关联的功能机制。
