To evaluate the possible association between cathepsin Z (CTSZ) rs34069356 C/T (Ala286Thr) and melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) rs6127698 G>T (-484 G/T) gene polymorphisms and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in an Iranian sample population.
This case-control study included 150 PTB patients and 177 healthy subjects. Tetra amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect polymorphisms.
Our findings revealed that the MC3R rs6127698 TT genotype increased the risk of PTB compared with GG (additive model: OR 2.24, 95%CI 1.13-4.64, P = 0.021) as well as GG+GT (recessive model: OR 1.89, 95%CI 1.13-3.18, P = 0.016). The rs6127698 T allele increased the risk of PTB (OR 1.56, 95%CI 1.14-2.13, P = 0.005) compared to the G allele. The CTSZ rs34069356 polymorphism was not associated with PTB in additive-, dominant- and recessive-tested inheritance models (P > 0.05).
Our data suggest that MC3R rs6127698, but not CTSZ rs34069356 polymorphism, is associated with PTB in a sample Iranian population.
评估组织蛋白酶 Z(CTSZ)rs34069356 C/T(Ala286Thr)和黑素皮质素-3 受体(MC3R)rs6127698 G>T(-484 G/T)基因多态性与伊朗人群肺结核(PTB)之间可能存在的关联。
这项病例对照研究纳入了 150 例肺结核患者和 177 例健康对照。采用四引物扩增受阻突变系统-聚合酶链反应检测多态性。
我们的研究结果表明,与 GG 基因型相比,MC3R rs6127698 TT 基因型增加了患肺结核的风险(加性模型:OR 2.24,95%CI 1.13-4.64,P=0.021),以及 GG+GT 基因型(隐性模型:OR 1.89,95%CI 1.13-3.18,P=0.016)。与 G 等位基因相比,rs6127698 T 等位基因增加了患肺结核的风险(OR 1.56,95%CI 1.14-2.13,P=0.005)。CTSZ rs34069356 多态性在加性、显性和隐性遗传模型中与肺结核均无关联(P>0.05)。
我们的数据表明,MC3R rs6127698 而不是 CTSZ rs34069356 多态性与伊朗人群肺结核有关。
