The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible relationship between DRD2/ANKK1 (rs1800497) and SLC6A3/DAT1 (rs28363170) gene polymorphisms with the response to levodopa (L-DOPA)-therapy in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
One hundred and ninety-five patients with idiopathic PD were investigated. Patients were genotyped for rs1800497 and rs28363170 polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP. Logistic regression was performed to assess the association of polymorphisms with the occurrence of the chronic complications of L-DOPA therapy.
Our results showed association between the occurrence of dyskinesia with an increased greater disease severity (P = 0.007), higher L-DOPA dose (P = 0.007) and use of dopamine agonist (P = 0.020). Moreover, there were significant protective effects for age (P = 0.004) and male subjects (P = 0.006).
Clinical and demographic characteristics of Brazilian PD patients and differences in DRD2 and DAT1 genes may to determine individual variations in the therapeutic response to L-DOPA in the Brazilian PD patients.
本研究旨在评估 DRD2/ANKK1(rs1800497)和 SLC6A3/DAT1(rs28363170)基因多态性与帕金森病(PD)患者对左旋多巴(L-DOPA)治疗反应之间的可能关系。
研究纳入了 195 名特发性 PD 患者。采用 PCR-RFLP 法对 rs1800497 和 rs28363170 多态性进行基因分型。采用逻辑回归评估多态性与 L-DOPA 治疗慢性并发症发生的相关性。
我们的结果显示,运动障碍的发生与疾病严重程度增加(P=0.007)、L-DOPA 剂量更高(P=0.007)和使用多巴胺激动剂(P=0.020)有关。此外,年龄(P=0.004)和男性(P=0.006)具有显著的保护作用。
巴西 PD 患者的临床和人口统计学特征以及 DRD2 和 DAT1 基因的差异可能决定了巴西 PD 患者对 L-DOPA 治疗反应的个体差异。
