RESUMO
Objective To investigate the association of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism in patients with mild cognitive impairment.Methods The patients aged 60-85 years were randomly selected from the outpatient,hospital or community age of Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in January 2015-June 2016,and cognitive function assessment for the patients.A total of 100 cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients were selected as case group,and 139 cases with normal cognitive function were the control group.The polymorphism of ApoE gene was analyzed in all patients.The final data were analyzed by Pearson chi square test.Results Compared to the control group,the proportion of genotype T/T in the genotype distribution of rs429358 loci was lower than that of the control group,T/C and C/C were higher than those in the control group,Allele C was a risk factor for MCI disease (OR value =2.100).The epsilon 4 allele was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the epsilon 3 allele was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The polymorphism of the ApoE gene is associated with the pathogenesis of MCI,in which the ApoE-E4 allele may be a risk gene for MCI.This suggests that the detection of ApoE gene polymorphism may provide useful information for the early diagnosis of MCI.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E(Apo E) gene poly-morphism and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and e-valuate the correlative risk factors. Method 40 cases of type 2 diabetes with MCI and 80 cases of type 2 diabetes without MCI were enrolled in this study. The polymorphism of the Apo E gene was detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). According to the clinical data such as course of disease, plasma glucose, plasma fat and body mass index (BMI), the independent risk factors of T2DM and MCI were analyzed by non-conditional logistic regression. Results The frequency of Apo E ε_4 allele in the group of type 2 diabetes with MCI was higher than that without MCI ( 25.0% vs 10. 0% ), and the difference had statistical significance( P < 0. 01 ). The indexes of the statistical significant difference be-twcen the two groups were age, course of disease, postprandial blood glucose ( P2BG), HBA1C, BMI,family history of T2DM, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Apo E gene. The independent risk factors included diabetic retinopathy ( OR = 3. 452, P < 0. 05 ), diabetic peripheral neuropathy( OR = 3. 252, P <0. 05), Ape E gene( OR = 2. 441, P < 0.01 ), HBA1C ( OR = 1. 372, P <0.05), P2BG(OR = 1. 194, P <0.05), age(OR = 1. 194, P <0.01) and course of disease(OR =1. 142, P <0. 05). Conclusion Apo E ε_4 allele has significant relationship with T2DM and MCI. The age, course of disease, control of plasma glucose, and microvascular complication of diabetes have relation-ship with the cognitive function.
