Nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is the most common orofacial birth defect, often attributed to ethnic and environmental differences. Up to now, linkage analyses and genome-wide association studies have identified several genomic susceptibility regions for NSCL/P. The genes including are strong candidates for NSCL/P, since they are involved in regulating mid-face development and upper lip fusion. This study tested association of the polymorphisms, rs-3809857 G/T and rs9890413 G/A, with the risk of NSCL/P in a population of Iranian infants.
The allelic and genotypic frequencies for each participant were determined in 113 unrelated Iranian subjects with NSCL/P and 220 control subjects using PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
The rs3809857 GT genotype was significantly lower (p=0.039, OR=0.55, 95% CI=0.30-0.97) in the NSCL/P (21.2%) than the control group (30.42%). For the rs9890413 G/A polymorphism, neither genotype nor allele frequencies were significantly different between the case and control groups.
Our results indicated that the rs3809857 GT genotype may have a protective effect against NSCL/P in Iranian population.
非综合征性唇裂和/或腭裂(NSCL/P)是最常见的口腔面部出生缺陷,通常归因于种族和环境差异。到目前为止,连锁分析和全基因组关联研究已经确定了几个NSCL/P的基因组易感区域。包括[具体基因]在内的基因是NSCL/P的有力候选基因,因为它们参与调节面部中部发育和上唇融合。本研究在一群伊朗婴儿中测试了[具体基因]多态性rs - 3809857 G/T和rs9890413 G/A与NSCL/P风险的关联。
使用聚合酶链反应(PCR)和限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)方法,在113名患有NSCL/P的无关伊朗受试者和220名对照受试者中确定了每个参与者的等位基因和基因型频率。p值≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
NSCL/P组(21.2%)中rs3809857 GT基因型显著低于对照组(30.42%)(p = 0.039,OR = 0.55,95% CI = 0.30 - 0.97)。对于rs9890413 G/A多态性,病例组和对照组之间的基因型和等位基因频率均无显著差异。
我们的结果表明,rs3809857 GT基因型可能对伊朗人群的NSCL/P具有保护作用。
