To determine the distribution of Duffy blood group genotypes in Balouch population as a major ethnic group that living in a sub-tropical area in south East of Iran.
In this study, the Duffy blood group FY phenotypes were determined using indirect anti-globulin technique and also genotype by PCR-RFLP in 160 vivax malaria patients and 160 control individuals.
The results showed that the most common Duffy genotype was FYA/FYB (46.6%) followed by FYA/FYA (15.3%), FYA/FYO (14.4%), FYB/FYO (11.9%), FYB/FYB (10%) and FYO/FYO (1.9%). In case individuals, frequency of FYA, FYB and FYO alleles were 0.471, 0.431 and 0.097, respectively compaired to 0.444, 0.353 and 0.203, respectively in control (non-infected) group.
This data provide evidence that individuals with the FYA/FYB genotype have higher susceptibility to malaria and there are significant associations between Duffy blood group variants and susceptibility or resistance to vivax malaria.
确定俾路支人群中达菲血型基因型的分布情况,俾路支人群是生活在伊朗东南部亚热带地区的主要族群。
在本研究中,采用间接抗球蛋白技术确定160例间日疟患者和160例对照个体的达菲血型FY表型,并通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)确定基因型。
结果显示,最常见的达菲基因型是FYA/FYB(46.6%),其次是FYA/FYA(15.3%)、FYA/FYO(14.4%)、FYB/FYO(11.9%)、FYB/FYB(10%)和FYO/FYO(1.9%)。在病例个体中,FYA、FYB和FYO等位基因的频率分别为0.471、0.431和0.097,而在对照(未感染)组中分别为0.444、0.353和0.203。
这些数据证明,具有FYA/FYB基因型的个体对疟疾易感性更高,并且达菲血型变异与间日疟的易感性或抗性之间存在显著关联。
