Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are neurodegenerative diseases that share common genetic risk factors. A recent genome-wide association study has linked risk of FTD with polymorphisms in the HLA-DRA/HLA-DRB5 gene (rs9268877, rs9268856), BTNL2 gene (rs1980493), and RAB38/CTSC gene (rs302668).
We used the SNPscan™ Kit to genotype these variants in 400 Chinese patients with sporadic ALS, 554 with sporadic PD and 634 healthy controls.
The AA genotype at rs9268856 increased risk of ALS (P=0.005). Mean survival time was significantly shorter in patients with the AA genotype (24.8±16.2months) than in patients with other genotypes (36.9±19.9months; P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analysis indicated significantly lower survival probability for patients carrying the AA genotype (P<0.001).
Our results suggest that the AA genotype at rs9268856 is an independent risk factor and prognostic factor for ALS in Han Chinese from southwest China.
额颞叶痴呆(FTD)、肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)和帕金森病(PD)是具有共同遗传风险因素的神经退行性疾病。最近一项全基因组关联研究已将FTD风险与HLA - DRA/HLA - DRB5基因(rs9268877、rs9268856)、BTNL2基因(rs1980493)以及RAB38/CTSC基因(rs302668)中的多态性联系起来。
我们使用SNPscan™试剂盒对400例中国散发性ALS患者、554例散发性PD患者和634例健康对照者的这些变异进行基因分型。
rs9268856位点的AA基因型增加了ALS风险(P = 0.005)。AA基因型患者的平均生存时间(24.8±16.2个月)显著短于其他基因型患者(36.9±19.9个月;P<0.001)。Kaplan - Meier曲线和Cox分析表明,携带AA基因型的患者生存概率显著更低(P<0.001)。
我们的结果表明,rs9268856位点的AA基因型是中国西南部汉族人群中ALS的一个独立风险因素和预后因素。
