In this study, the effects of glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms Mu1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms Theta1 (GSTT1) on Parkinson's disease (PD) risk factor were evaluated in a Tunisian population.
These polymorphisms were analyzed in 229 healthy Tunisian subjects and 64 Tunisian patients with PD, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0. The relative associations between the GST genotypes and PD were assessed by calculating the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
The study results demonstrated that the individuals with GSTM1 [OR=3.93, 95% CI: 1.98-7.92, P=10] and GSTT1 [OR=5.45, 95% CI: 2.90-10.30, p=10] were statistically associated with the risk of PD. A significant association was also found between the individuals with both GSTM1/T1 null genotypes and PD risk [OR=22.10, 95% CI: 6.99-73.75, P=10].
These genotyping findings suggest that the absence of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 activity could be a contributory factor for the development of PD.
本研究旨在评估谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶 Mu1(GSTM1)和谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶 Theta1(GSTT1)多态性对突尼斯人群帕金森病(PD)风险因素的影响。
采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术,在 229 名健康突尼斯受试者和 64 名突尼斯 PD 患者中分析了这些多态性。使用 SPSS 18.0 进行统计分析。通过计算比值比(ORs)和 95%置信区间(CIs),评估 GST 基因型与 PD 之间的相对关联。
研究结果表明,GSTM1[OR=3.93,95%CI:1.98-7.92,P=10]和 GSTT1[OR=5.45,95%CI:2.90-10.30,p=10]缺失的个体与 PD 风险具有统计学关联。同时,GSTM1/T1 双缺失基因型个体与 PD 风险之间也存在显著关联[OR=22.10,95%CI:6.99-73.75,P=10]。
这些基因分型结果表明,GSTM1 和 GSTT1 活性缺失可能是 PD 发生的一个促成因素。
