Abstract BackgroundTo analyze the relationship between apolipoprotein E(APOE) (including the SNPs rs429358 and rs7412) gene and cerebral infarction(CI) in Northern Chinese Han population.Methods457 CI patients and 416 controls (without CI) in Chinese Han population were recruited for our study to test the SNPs by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-fluorescence probe technique.ResultsThe distribution of APOE genotypes were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the frequencies of ɛ4 allele orɛ4 containing were significantdifference between CI and control groups. Compared to ε2 or ε3 carriers, ε4 carriers had a high level of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high presenceof dyslipidemia in recruited peoples. And we found APOE ε4 allele was associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia in the control and CI groups (OR = 2.232, 95% CI= 1.143-4.361, P<0.000; OR = 3.442, 95% CI= 1.885-6.284, P=0.019). However, further logistic regression showed that ɛ4 allele or carriers were not the independent risk factors of CI (OR = 2.232, 95% CI= 1.143-4.361, P=0.144; OR = 3.442, 95% CI= 1.885-6.284, P=0.162).ConclusionAPOE ε4 allele was associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia (OR = 2.232, 95% CI= 1.143-4.361; OR = 3.442, 95% CI= 1.885-6.284), but ɛ4 allele or carriers were not the independent risk factors of CI in Northern Chinese Han population (OR = 2.232, 95% CI= 1.143-4.361, P=0.144; OR = 3.442, 95% CI= 1.885-6.284, P=0.162).

Objective Given its effects on lipid metabolism, the apolipoprotein A1-C3-A5 ( APOA1-C3-A5) gene cluster is thought to play an important role in ischemic stroke pathogenesis. Here, we evaluated whether the APOA1-C3-A5 cluster is associated with ischemic stroke in the northern Chinese Han population. Methods This case–control study analyzed 812 patients with ischemic stroke and 844 healthy controls with regard to four APOA1-C3-A5 cluster promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs670, rs2854116, rs2854117, and rs662799, using the SNaPshot Multiplex sequencing assay. Potential associations among ischemic stroke, genotyping, and allele frequencies were assessed. Results APOA1 rs670 CT/TT genotypes, APOA5 rs662799 AG/GG genotypes, and the APOC3 rs2854116 CC genotype were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke according to multivariate logistic analysis after adjusting for confounding factors. A significantly increased risk for ischemic stroke was also identified among high-risk haplotypes (C-C-T-A and T-T-C-A) for rs670–rs2854116–rs2854117–rs662799. Conclusion This study showed that rs670, rs2854116, and rs662799 SNPs of the APOA1-C3-A5 cluster are associated with ischemic stroke in the northern Chinese Han population.

Objectives: Dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) is the most common chronic neurodegenerative disease. At present, the pathogenesis of DAT is not completely clear, and there are no drugs that can cure the disease. Once an individual is diagnosed with DAT, the survival time is only 3 to 9 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to determine the etiology of DAT and the associated influencing factors to find a breakthrough in the treatment of DAT.Methods: We studied the relationship between polymorphisms in several genes (including BIN1 and APOE) and DAT susceptibility and the effects of sex differences on DAT. Our study included 137 patients with DAT and 509 healthy controls (HCs).Results: The APOE rs429358 polymorphism CC and CT genotypes were associated with an increased risk of DAT in women. We found a significant association between APOE ε4 and DAT. The frequency of the ε4 allele in the DAT group (15.5%) was higher than that in the HC group (8.7%). The BIN1 rs7561528 polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of DAT in men.Conclusions: APOE gene rs429358 and BIN1 gene 7561528 genes may affect the susceptibility to DAT in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract Background:Stroke is a serious cardiovascular disease and a major cause of disability and death in both developed and developing countries. Superoxide dismutases (SODs ) are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and play a key role in the antioxidant response. This study explored the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SOD genes and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese Han population of Dali city.Methods: For this case-control study, we enrolled 144 IS patients and 128 healthy controls. The SNPs rs17880487 and rs80265967 of the SOD1 gene, rs4880 and rs284296 of the SOD2 gene, rs2695232 and rs7655372 of the SOD3 gene were detected via Taqman-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Genotypes and allele frequencies of the two groups were compared. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression, and environmental factors were corrected with multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Rs7655372 of SOD3 was associated with a significantly increased risk of IS. Moreover, this the G and GA genotypes of SNP rs7655372 were associated with an increased risk of IS, whereas the A and GA genotypes were risk factors for IS. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, low-density lipoprotein level, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and rs7655372 GA/GG were independent risk factors for IS.Conclusions: The SOD3 gene rs7655372 locus polymorphism is a risk factor for IS, and its frequency in the Chinese Han population of Dali City denotes that this population is at increased risk of IS.

Abstract Background: This research aimed to study the associations between XPD (G751A, rs13181), hOGG1 (C326G, rs1052133) and XRCC4 (G1394T, rs6869366) gene polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Chinese Han population. Method: A total of 225 Chinese Han patients with CRC were selected as the study group, and 200 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group. The polymorphisms of XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T loci were detected by the RFLP-PCR technique in the peripheral blood of all subjects. Results: Compared with individuals carrying the XPD751 GG allele, the A allele carriers (GA/AA) had a significantly increased risk of CRC (adjusted OR = 2.109, 95%CI = 1.352–3.287, P=0.003). Similarly, the G allele (CG/GG) of hOGG1 C326G locus conferred increased susceptibility to CRC (adjusted OR = 2.654, 95%CI = 1.915–3.685, P<0.001). In addition, the T allele carriers (GT/TT) of the XRCC4 G1394T locus have an increased risk of developing CRC (adjusted OR = 4.512, 95%CI = 2.785–7.402, P<0.001). The risk of CRC was significantly increased in individuals with both the XPD locus A allele and the hOGG1 locus G allele (adjusted OR = 1.543, 95%CI = 1.302–2.542, P=0.002). Furthermore, individuals with both the hOGG1 locus G allele and the XRCC4 locus T allele were predisposed to CRC development (adjusted OR = 3.854, 95%CI = 1.924–7.123, P<0.001). The risks of CRC in XPD gene A allele carriers (GA/AA) (adjusted OR = 1.570, 95%CI = 1.201–1.976, P=0.001), hOGG1 gene G allele carriers (CG/GG) (adjusted OR = 3.031, 95%CI = 2.184–4.225, P<0.001) and XRCC4 gene T allele carriers (GT/TT) (adjusted OR = 2.793, 95%CI = 2.235–3.222, P<0.001) were significantly higher in patients who smoked ≥16 packs/year. Conclusion: Our results suggest that XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T gene polymorphisms might play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and increase the risk of developing CRC in the Chinese Han population. The interaction between smoking and these gene polymorphisms would increase the risk of CRC.
