This research aimed to explore the (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations of (insertion/deletion) were evaluated by using polymerase chain reaction techniques. Smoker showed higher risk of COPD (OR=1.67, 95% CI=1.12-2.48, P=0.012). Present results revealed the positive association between the DD genotype and the risk of COPD (OR= 2.14, 95% CI=1.22-3.78, P=0.006). Among smokers, DD genotype showed statistically significant association with increased risk of COPD (OR=3.10, 95% CI= 1.50-6.47, P=0.001).
本研究旨在探讨(插入/缺失)基因关联作为印度北部人群慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)发病的关键因素。选取了200例临床诊断为COPD的患者,并与200名健康个体进行对照。采用聚合酶链反应技术评估(插入/缺失)的基因变异。吸烟者患COPD的风险更高(OR=1.67,95%CI=1.12-2.48,P=0.012)。目前的结果显示DD基因型与COPD风险之间存在正相关(OR=2.14,95%CI=1.22-3.78,P=0.006)。在吸烟者中,DD基因型与COPD风险增加之间存在统计学显著关联(OR=3.10,95%CI=1.50-6.47,P=0.001)。
