RESUMEN
Objective To explore the relation between the Integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2)-807 C/T gene and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. Methods 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were selected from the hospital. According to the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) standards, 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were divided into diabetes without diabetic nephropathy (T2DM) and DN group, and 90 healthy people were selected as normal control (NC) group. The plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured by routine method.And the genotypes and allele frequencies distribution were assessed by Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results compared with the control group,plasma total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in DN group blood were significantly higher (P 0.05). Conclusions The polymorphism of ITGA2-807C/T gene is associated with the development of DN in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. The T allele may be a genetic susceptibility genes for DN, which may promote the level of TC high expression and increase the risk of DN.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the relationship of interleukin-18 (IL-18)gene-137G/C polymorphisms in the promoter region with cerebral infarction(CI) and the effect of integrin gene polymorphisms on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) were used for the detection of integrin genotypes in 190 patients with CI and 210 healthy controls. The plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured by routine method. Results The distributions of IL-18 gene -137G/C polymorphism was significantly different between CI group and control group(P ＜0. 05＝ ,The relative risk suffered from CI of C allele was 1.624 times of the G allele (OR = 1.624,95% CI: 1.134 ～ 2.324), The level of plasma lipid C allele carriers was significantly higher than no carriers(P ＜0.05＝. Conclusion IL-18 gene-137G/C polymorphism was associated with CI, C allele may be genetic susceptibility gene for CI.
