A meta-analysis about the relation of polymorphism at the sites + 49 of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 gene with the susceptibility of Graves' disease in Asian population / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective To review the quantitative relationship of polymorphism at the sites +49 of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 gene with the susceptibility of Graves' disease(GD) in Asian population.Methods The Medline,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database on disc (CBM disc) databases were searched and used in meta-analysis to analyze the data in the articles collected.Results This analysis included a total of 24 papers,and GD patients and healthy population control group were composed of 4 832 cases and 5 643 subjects respectively.This paper revealed that in the general population,the Chinese people and the Japanese crowd,all the genetic models (allele,co-dominant model,dominant model,recessive model) were statistically significant,indicating that CTLA-4 +49 A allele could reduce the risk of GD.Conclusions The CTLA-4 +49 G→A mutation allele may serve as a factor in reducing the risk of GD susceptibility in Asian population.

Association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 gene single nucleotide polymorphism with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Madurai population of Southern India.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus formerly called juvenile diabetes, is an organ specific T-cell mediated autoimmune disease characterized by the progressive loss of function of the insulin producing beta–cells of the islets of Langerhans. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 gene (CTLA-4) has been proposed as a candidate gene for conferring susceptibility to autoimmunity. Association of CTLA-4 gene polymorphism is well established in autoimmune endocrinopathies across world population. The present study was conducted to investigate the association of CTLA-4 exon 1 49A/G polymorphism with TIDM in Madurai, a city in Southern India. Fifty three clinically proven T1DM patients and 53 control subjects with no history of autoimmune disease were recruited for the study. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. CTLA-4 exon 1 49 A/G polymorphism was assessed using PCR-RFLP methods. Our findings revealed a significant association of CTLA-4 exon 1 49 A/G polymorphism with T1DM in Madurai population.

The association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 gene polymorphism with type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroid diseases in Chinese Han population / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective To investigate the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA 4) gene polymorphism with type 1diabetesmellitusandautoimmunethyroiddiseases. Methods The A/G phenotype at position 49 of the CTLA 4 gene exon 1 was determined by PCR RFLP method in 33 classic type 1 diabetes patients, 57 latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) patients, 122 autoimmune thyroid disease patients and 84 healthy control subjects of Chinese Han. Results The frequency of the CTLA 4 G phenotype was significantly higherintype1diabetespatientsthanthatincontrol subjects (55.6% vs 36.9%, P=0.0005). Neither the presence nor the absence of G allele influenced the occurrence of islet autoantibody (ICA) and glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GADA). The strong association of the CTLA 4 G allele with AITDs was showed in our study (66.4% vs 36.9%, P

Association of polymorphism of CTLA-4 gene exon 1 with Graves′ disease in Chinese population / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

The polymorphism of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) was investigated by PCR-RFLP in 28 healthy volunteers and 64 patients with Graves′ disease (GD). The result suggests that the frequency of G49 allele of CTLA-4 exon 1 in GD patients issignificantlyhigherthanthat in normal controls (P
