Analysis of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1b1 and apolipoprotein E genes in a population from southern Yunnan / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the distribution of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1b1 ( SLCO1B1) and apolipoprotein E ( ApoE) genes in a population from southern Yunnan. Methods:The data of 104 patients who received treatment in Southern Central Hospital of Yunnan Province (The First People's Hospital of Honghe State) between May 2019 and June 2020 were collected. The distribution of SLCO1B1 and ApoE genes and their relationship with nationality, sex, and age were analyzed and compared between different regions. Results:The percentage of patients carrying *1a/*1a, *1a/*1b, *1b/*1b, *1a/*15, *1b/*15, five phenotypes of SLCO1B1 gene, in the population from southern Yunnan was 4.81%, 32.69%, 42.31%, 12.50% and 7.69% respectively. Phenotypes *1a/*5, *5/*5, *5/*15 and *15/*15 were not detected. Normal metabolic phenotype of SLCO1B1 accounted for 79.81%, and intermediate metabolic phenotype of SLCO1B1 accounted for 20.19%. Weak metabolic phenotype was not detected. The percentage of patients carrying E2/E2, E2/E3, E3/E3, E3/E4, E4/E4, five phenotypes of ApoE gene in the population from southern Yunnan was 0.96%, 16.35%, 70.19%, 11.54% and 0.96% respectively. E2/E4 phenotype was not detected. The percentage of patients with ApoE protective phenotype, ApoE normal phenotype, and ApoE risk phenotype was 17.31%, 70.19% and 12.50% respectively. The observed polymorphism mutation frequency of SLCO1B1 and ApoE genes was consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ( P > 0.05), suggesting constancy and a population representation. The Fisher test showed that SLCO1B1 gene distribution differed significantly between ethnic minorities and Han nationality in southern Yunnan ( P = 0.013). There was no significant difference in SLCO1B1 gene distribution between different sexes and between different ages (all P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in ApoE gene distribution between ethnic minorities and Han nationality, between different sexes, and between different ages in the population from southern Yunnan (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:SLCO1B1 gene distribution is related to nationality in the population from southern Yunnan, but it is unrelated to sex and age. ApoE gene distribution is unrelated to nationality, sex and age.
