The aim of the present study was to investigate a possible association between the MIF -173G>C polymorphism and MS in Turkish patients.
The study included 153 MS-patients and 210 controls. Genomic DNA was isolated and genotyped using PCR-RFLP assay for the MIF -173G>C promoter polymorphism (rs755622).
There was no statistically significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies between MS-patients and controls (p=0.227 and p=0.157, respectively). Accordingly, no association was observed when the patients were compared against controls in terms of GG versus GC+CC genotypes and GG+GC versus CC genotypes (p=0.324 and p=0.179, respectively). Also, there was no statistically significant association between MIF-173G>C polymorphism and clinical and demographic characteristics of MS-patients. Conlusion: The results of the present study suggest no relation between MS susceptibility and MIF gene - 173G>C polymorphism in the examined Turkish population.
本研究旨在调查土耳其患者中MIF -173G>C多态性与多发性硬化症(MS)之间可能存在的关联。
该研究纳入了153例MS患者和210例对照。采用PCR-RFLP分析法对MIF -173G>C启动子多态性(rs755622)进行基因组DNA分离和基因分型。
MS患者与对照之间的等位基因和基因型频率无统计学显著差异(分别为p = 0.227和p = 0.157)。因此,在GG与GC + CC基因型以及GG + GC与CC基因型方面,患者与对照相比未观察到关联(分别为p = 0.324和p = 0.179)。此外,MIF-173G>C多态性与MS患者的临床和人口统计学特征之间无统计学显著关联。结论:本研究结果表明,在所检测的土耳其人群中,MS易感性与MIF基因 - 173G>C多态性之间无关联。
