Chitotriosidase (CHIT, EC 3.2.1.14) is an enzyme secreted by activated macrophages with the ability to hydrolyze the chitin of pathogens. The high activity of this enzyme has been used as a secondary biomarker of response to treatment in patients with Gaucher disease (OMIM 230800). Within the world's population, approximately 6% is homozygous and 35% is heterozygous for the most common polymorphism in the CHIT1 gene, a 24-bp duplication (dup-24 bp), with homozygosity of this duplication causing inactivation of the enzyme but without major consequences for health. To determine the frequency of the dup-24 bp CHIT1 gene in indigenous populations from Mexico, 692 samples were analyzed: Purepecha (49), Tarahumara (97), Huichol (97), Mayan (139), Tenek (97), and Nahua (213). We found that the groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The dup-24 bp allele frequency was found to be (in order of highest to lowest) 37% (Mayan), 34% (Huichol and Nahua), 33% (Purepecha), 31% (Tenek), and 29% (Tarahumara).
壳三糖苷酶（CHIT，EC 3.2.1.14）是一种由活化巨噬细胞分泌的酶，具有水解病原体几丁质的能力。该酶的高活性已被用作戈谢病（OMIM 230800）患者治疗反应的次要生物标志物。在世界人口中，约6%为CHIT1基因最常见多态性（24 bp重复，dup-24 bp）的纯合子，35%为杂合子，该重复的纯合性会导致该酶失活，但对健康无重大影响。为了确定墨西哥本土人群中dup-24 bp CHIT1基因的频率，分析了692个样本：普埃佩查人（49个）、塔拉乌马拉人（97个）、惠乔尔人（97个）、玛雅人（139个）、特内克人（97个）和纳瓦人（213个）。我们发现这些群体处于哈迪-温伯格平衡状态。dup-24 bp等位基因频率（从高到低）依次为37%（玛雅人）、34%（惠乔尔人和纳瓦人）、33%（普埃佩查人）、31%（特内克人）和29%（塔拉乌马拉人）。
