To determine the frequency of the genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and their associations with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the Lithuanian population.
A total of 1264 subjects were examined: 251 patients with early AMD, 206 patients with exudative AMD, and 807 healthy controls.
The genotyping of CETP (rs5882, rs708272, rs3764261, rs1800775, rs2303790) was carried out using the RT-PCR.
Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that each copy of rs5882 allele A was associated with a 1.3-fold increased risk of exudative AMD (p=0.046). The G/A and A/A genotypes of the rs708272 polymorphism were associated with 1.5-fold and 1.7-fold increased risks of exudative AMD (p=0.049 and p=0.021, respectively). Combination of two genotypes (G/A+A/A) under the dominant model were associated with a 1.5-fold increased risk of exudative AMD (p=0.021). Analysis of rs708272 revealed that the G/A and A/A genotypes under the co-dominant model were associated with 1.5-fold and 1.7-fold increased risks of exudative AMD, respectively (OR=1.450, 95% CI=1.002-2.098; p=0.049 and OR=1.710, 95% CI=1.064-2.156; p=0.021, respectively). Both genotypes (G/A+A/A) under the dominant model were associated with the 1.5-fold increased risk of exudative AMD, as well (OR=1.514, 95% CI=1.064-2.156; p=0.021) and each additional copy A allele was associated with a 1.3-fold increased risk of exudative AMD (OR=1.316, 95% CI=1.051-1.646; p=0.016). The rs3764261 polymorphism was identified to be protective: the C/A genotype and the combination of two genotypes (C/A+A/A) were associated with 1.8-fold and 1.5-fold decreased risks of exudative AMD (p=0.001 and p=0.015, respectively).
Our study identified two polymorphisms with a higher risk of AMD development (rs5882 and rs708272) and a protective polymorphism for AMD (rs3764261).
确定立陶宛人群中胆固醇酯转运蛋白(CETP)编码基因的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)基因型频率及其与年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)的关联。
共检查了1264名受试者:251例早期AMD患者、206例渗出性AMD患者和807名健康对照者。
采用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)对CETP(rs5882、rs708272、rs3764261、rs1800775、rs2303790)进行基因分型。
二项式逻辑回归分析显示,rs5882等位基因A的每一个拷贝与渗出性AMD风险增加1.3倍相关(p = 0.046)。rs708272多态性的G/A和A/A基因型与渗出性AMD风险增加1.5倍和1.7倍相关(分别为p = 0.049和p = 0.021)。显性模型下两种基因型(G/A + A/A)的组合与渗出性AMD风险增加1.5倍相关(p = 0.021)。对rs708272的分析显示,共显性模型下的G/A和A/A基因型分别与渗出性AMD风险增加1.5倍和1.7倍相关(OR = 1.450,95%CI = 1.002 - 2.098;p = 0.049和OR = 1.710,95%CI = 1.064 - 2.156;p = 0.021)。显性模型下的两种基因型(G/A + A/A)也与渗出性AMD风险增加1.5倍相关(OR = 1.514,95%CI = 1.064 - 2.156;p = 0.021),A等位基因的每一个额外拷贝与渗出性AMD风险增加1.3倍相关(OR = 1.316,95%CI = 1.051 - 1.646;p = 0.016)。rs3764261多态性被确定具有保护作用:C/A基因型和两种基因型的组合(C/A + A/A)与渗出性AMD风险降低1.8倍和1.5倍相关(分别为p = 0.001和p = 0.015)。
我们的研究确定了两种与AMD发生风险较高相关的多态性(rs5882和rs708272)以及一种对AMD具有保护作用的多态性(rs3764261)。
