This study highlights the possible implication of NPPA (natriuretic peptide precursor A) gene in the etiology of Long QT syndrome (LQTS) by population-based as well as familial study. Three SNPs of NPPA - C-664G, C1363A and T1766C were examined by molecular analyses in LQTS, controls and first degree relatives (FDRs). This study revealed a possible association of 1364 C>A SNP 'C' allele with LQTS (p = 0.0013). All three SNPs were in tight linkage disequilibrium. The familial study highlights the association of NPPA SNP with cLQTS and implicating it as a potential biomarker in South Indian population.
本研究通过基于人群的研究以及家族研究,强调了NPPA(利钠肽前体A)基因在长QT综合征(LQTS)病因学中的可能影响。通过分子分析,在LQTS患者、对照组及一级亲属(FDRs)中检测了NPPA的三个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)——C-664G、C1363A和T1766C。该研究揭示了1364 C>A SNP的“C”等位基因与LQTS可能存在关联(p = 0.0013)。所有这三个SNP都处于紧密连锁不平衡状态。家族研究强调了NPPA SNP与先天性LQTS的关联,并表明它是印度南部人群中的一种潜在生物标志物。
