To explore the association between five polymorphisms in endoplasmic reticulum associated aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) gene and risk of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a Chinese population. A case-control study enrolled 250 AS patients and 250 healthy controls was carried out. The genotypes of involved polymorphisms (rs27037, rs27038, rs469876, rs27044 and rs27980) in ERAP1 were detected by Sequenom Mass-Array platform. There were significant differences of the level of WBC (white blood cell), Platelets, CRP (C-reactive protein) and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) between AS patients and controls (P<0.05). There was statistically association between ERAP1 rs27044 polymorphism and risk of AS, and the carriers with rs27044 CG genotype have an increased the risk for AS (CG versus GG, OR=1.70, 95% CI=1.10-2.62, P=0.015). However, we found no evidence for the association of rs27037, rs469876, and rs27980 polymorphisms in ERAP1 with AS risk. Our findings indicated that ERAP1 rs27044 polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility of AS.
探讨内质网相关氨肽酶1(ERAP1)基因的5个多态性与中国人群强直性脊柱炎(AS)发病风险之间的关联。开展了一项病例对照研究,纳入250例AS患者和250例健康对照。采用Sequenom Mass-Array平台检测ERAP1基因中相关多态性(rs27037、rs27038、rs469876、rs27044和rs27980)的基因型。AS患者与对照组之间白细胞(WBC)、血小板、C反应蛋白(CRP)和红细胞沉降率(ESR)水平存在显著差异(P<0.05)。ERAP1基因rs27044多态性与AS发病风险之间存在统计学关联,rs27044 CG基因型携带者患AS的风险增加(CG与GG相比,OR=1.70,95%CI=1.10-2.62,P=0.015)。然而,我们未发现ERAP1基因rs27037、rs469876和rs27980多态性与AS风险相关的证据。我们的研究结果表明,ERAP1基因rs27044多态性与AS易感性相关。
