Protofibrils of alpha-synuclein mediate neuronal cell death and propagate Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we investigated the relationship between the rs3822086 C>T polymorphism located in the fourth intron of the alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene and susceptibility to PD in a Chinese Han population.
146 PD patients and 144 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals (control group) were selected for this study. The SNCA rs3822086 polymorphism was examined in all 300 study subjects by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis.
The genotype and allele frequencies of the SNCA rs3822086 polymorphism showed significant differences between the PD group and control group (TT: 25.3% vs. 18.8%, p=0.035; CT+TT: 77.4% vs. 66.0%, p=0.031; T allele: 51.4% vs. 42.4%, p=0.030; respectively). Stratified analyses based on gender indicated that male PD patients exhibited higher genotype and allele frequencies of the SNCA rs3822086 polymorphism compared to healthy male controls (TT: 26.7% vs. 13.2%, p=0.011; CC+CT: 73.3% vs. 86.8%, p=0.024; T allele: 51.2% vs. 37.9%, p=0.012; respectively). Age-stratified analyses indicated that the genotype and allele frequencies of the SNCA rs3822086 polymorphism were significantly higher in PD patients older than 60 years in comparison to healthy controls (TT: 32.2% vs. 20.5%, p=0.014; CT+TT: 77.0% vs. 60.2%, p=0.017; T allele: 54.6% vs. 40.3%, p=0.008; respectively).
Our findings demonstrate that the SNCA rs3822086 C>T polymorphism correlates with increased susceptibility to PD among the Chinese Han population.
α-突触核蛋白原纤维介导神经元细胞死亡并传播帕金森病(PD)。在本研究中,我们调查了位于α-突触核蛋白(SNCA)基因第四内含子中的rs3822086 C>T多态性与中国汉族人群PD易感性之间的关系。
本研究选取了146例PD患者和144例性别和年龄匹配的健康个体(对照组)。通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)分析检测了所有300名研究对象的SNCA rs3822086多态性。
PD组和对照组之间SNCA rs3822086多态性的基因型和等位基因频率存在显著差异(TT:25.3%对18.8%,p=0.035;CT+TT:77.4%对66.0%,p=0.031;T等位基因:51.4%对42.4%,p=0.030)。基于性别的分层分析表明,男性PD患者与健康男性对照组相比,SNCA rs3822086多态性的基因型和等位基因频率更高(TT:26.7%对13.2%,p=0.011;CC+CT:73.3%对86.8%,p=0.024;T等位基因:51.2%对37.9%,p=0.012)。年龄分层分析表明,60岁以上的PD患者中SNCA rs3822086多态性的基因型和等位基因频率显著高于健康对照组(TT:32.2%对20.5%,p=0.014;CT+TT:77.0%对60.
