There are conflicting results concerning DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR VNTR polymorphisms. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible association between DC-SIGN as well as DC-SIGNR VNTR polymorphisms and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was done on 171 PTB and 161 healthy subjects. The variants were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DC-SIGNR VNTR genotypes in cases were 12.7% for 5/5, 2.4% for 6/5, 32.7% for 7/7, 38.2% for 7/5, 5.5% for 7/6, 1.2% for /5, 0.6% for 9/6, 6.7% for 9/7 in PTB patients and 19.7% for 5/5, 2.0% for 6/5, 31.6% for 7/7, 37.5% for 7/5, 5.7% for 7/6, 0.0% for 9/5, 0.7% for 9/6, 2.6% for 9/7 in controls. The findings showed no significant association between DC-SIGNR VNTR polymorphism and PTB. All subjects in cases and controls were 7/7 genotype regarding DC-SIGN VNTR polymorphism. Our data propose that DC-SIGNR VNTR, as well as DC-SIGN VNTR, were not associated with the risk of PTB in a sample of Iranian population.
关于DC-SIGN和DC-SIGNR可变数目串联重复序列(VNTR)多态性的研究结果存在冲突。本研究旨在评估伊朗人群样本中DC-SIGN以及DC-SIGNR VNTR多态性与肺结核(PTB)之间的可能关联。这项病例对照研究对171例PTB患者和161名健康受试者进行。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测变异。PTB患者中DC-SIGNR VNTR基因型5/5为12.7%,6/5为2.4%,7/7为32.7%,7/5为38.2%,7/6为5.5%,9/5为1.2%,9/6为0.6%,9/7为6.7%;对照组中5/5为19.7%,6/5为2.0%,7/7为31.6%,7/5为37.5%,7/6为5.7%,9/5为0.0%,9/6为0.7%,9/7为2.6%。结果显示DC-SIGNR VNTR多态性与PTB之间无显著关联。病例组和对照组中所有受试者关于DC-SIGN VNTR多态性均为7/7基因型。我们的数据表明,在伊朗人群样本中,DC-SIGNR VNTR以及DC-SIGN VNTR与PTB风险无关。
