ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the correlations between polymorphisms at position 49 in exon 1 and position 318 in the promoter of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene and autoimmune thyroid diseases in a Han Chinese population.

Methods:

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was utilized. The MseI and BbvI restriction endonucleases were used to detect and analyse position 49 in exon 1 and position 318 in the promoter as well as the T/C alleles of the CTLA-4 gene in peripheral blood samples from 112 patients with Graves' disease (GD), 101 with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and 100 healthy individuals.

Results:

At position 49 of exon 1, the frequencies of the GG genotype and the G allele in the GD group (χ2 = 12.147; p = 0.002) were statistically significantly higher than those in the control group (χ2 = 9.925; p = 0.002), while no statistically significant differences were found between the frequencies of the GG genotype and the G allele in the HT group (χ2 = 1.195; p = 0.550) and those in the control group (χ2 = 0.984; p = 0.321). No statistically significant differences in the promoter (−318) or the T/C alleles were observed among the three groups. Position 49 in the 17th codon of exon 1 of the CTLA-4 gene may be a candidate susceptibility marker in patients of Han ethnicity with GD.

Conclusion:

This finding helps us to better understand the genetic risks for GD and provides a direction for targeted gene therapy.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Investigar las correlaciones entre los polimorfismos en la posición 49 en el exón 1 y la posición 318 en el promotor del gen del antígeno 4 asociado al linfocito T citotóxico (CTLA-4), con las enfermedades autoinmunes de la tiroides en una población China de Han.

Métodos:

Se utilizó la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa-polimorfismo de la longitud de los fragmentos de restricción. Las endonucleasas de restricción de MseI y BbvI se utilizaron para detectar y analizar la posición 49 en el exón 1 y la posición 318 en el promotor, así como los alelos T/C del gen CTLA-4 en muestras de sangre periférica de 112 pacientes con enfermedad de Graves (EG), 101 con tiroiditis de Hashimoto (TH) y 100 individuos sanos.

Resultados:

En la posición 49 de exón 1, las frecuencias del genotipo GG y el alelo G en el grupo de EG (χ2 = 12.147; p = 0.002) fueron estadísticamente significativamente más altas que las del grupo de control (χ2 = 9.925; p = 0.002), pero no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las frecuencias del genotipo GG y el alelo G en el grupo de TH (χ2 = 1.195; p = 0.550) y las del grupo de control (χ2 = 0.984; p = 0.321). No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el promotor (−318) ni en los alelos T/C entre los tres grupos. La posición 49 en el codón17.° del exón 1 del gen CTLA-4 puede ser un marcador de susceptibilidad candidato en pacientes de la etnia Han con EG.

Conclusión:

Este hallazgo nos ayuda a comprender mejor los riesgos genéticos de la EG y ofrece una dirección para la terapia génica dirigida.
