ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the distribution characteristics of IL-13 gene rs20541C/T site polymorphism in Guangxi population and compare the distribution differences among different populations.Methods: IL-13 genotypes were examined by using SNaPshot technique and DNA sequencing in 275 Guangxi people and analyzed the distribution frequencies of allele and genotype in this site.The result compared with the allele and genotype of other populations(Europeans,Beijingers,Japanses and Africans).Results:The polymorphism of rs20541C/T of IL-13 gene in Guangxi population existed.The genotype frequencies of CC,CT and TT were 40.0%,46.2% and 13.8% respectively.The frequencies of C and T allele were found to be 63.1% and 36.9%.The polymorphism had no significant difference between male and female(P>0.05).Compared rs20541C/T of IL-13 gene with those of HapMap-CEU, HapMap-YRI and Tianjin people,the distribution frequency of genotypes was significantly different(P<0.05).In this site,there were significant differences of allele frequency when compared with the other five populations(P<0.05).Conclusion: There are different degrees of diversity of rs20541C/T polymorphism of IL-13 gene among different races and regions.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the distribution characteristics of rs 2920891A/C and rs17046647A/G poly-morphisms of RTN4 gene in Guangxi population , and to compare the differences among different populations .METHODS:The genotypes of RTN4 gene at rs2920891A/C and rs17046647A/G in 323 healthy persons of Guangxi were performed by the technique of SNaPshot and DNA sequencing .The results were compared with the alleles and genotypes of other popula-tions (HapMap-CEU, HapMap-HCB, HapMap-JPT and HapMap-YRI in HapMap).RESULTS: In Guangxi population, 3 genotypes, AA, AC and CC, and 2 alleles, A and C, were found in rs2920891A/C.The allele frequencies between male and female showed significant differences (P<0.05).The genotype and allele frequencies compared with HapMap-JPT, HapMap-CEU and HapMap-YRI had differences with statistical significance ( P<0.05 ) .Three genotypes , AA, AG and GG, and 2 alleles, A and G, were found in rs17046647A/G.The genotype and allele frequencies between male and female showed no significant differences (P>0.05), but there were significant differences of the genotype and allele frequencies as compared with HapMap-JPT, HapMap-CEU and HapMap-YRI (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The rs2920891A/C and rs17046647A/G polymorphisms of RTN4 gene in Chinese Guangxi population are different from those in other races .
