目的探讨5-羟色胺转运体(5-HTT)基因启动子区多态性与注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的关系。方法抽取139例ADHD患儿(病例组)、62个ADHD核心家系(家系组,共186人)及115例正常对照(对照组)进行ADHD与5-HTT启动子区多态性(5-HITLPR)的关联分析。结果中国汉族人群中5-HTTLPR除了表现为S等位基因(484bp)、L等位基因(528bp)外,还发现比L等位基因长约88bp的超长片段(简称xL)。患者组5-HTTLPR的S/S、S/L、L/L基因型的频率(分别为52.5%,41.7%,5.8%)和S、L等位基因的频率(分别为73.4%,26.6%)与对照组(S/S、S/L、L/L基因型分别为58.3%,32.2%,9.5%;S、L等位基因分别为74.3%,25.7%)相比差异无显著性(P〉0.05);对62个核心家系的基于单体型的单体型相对风险度分析(HHRR)和传递不平衡检验(TDT),未发现等位基因与ADHD存在关联和传递不平衡。结论本研究结果不支持5-HTTLPR与ADHD存在关联。
objective To investigate the relationship between serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods A case-control association study and a family-based association study with haplotype-based- haplotype relative risk (HHRR) and transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) were used to analyze the association of 5-HTTLPR with ADHD. 139 patients with ADHD diagnosed according to DSM-Ⅳ criteria. 115 normal controls and 62 parental/affected trios were recruited in the study. Results For the 5-HTT promoter polymorphism 88bp longer than long(L) allele was observed among Chinese Han population ;it is designated xL. There were no significant differences in the frequencies of the genotypes and alleles of 5-HTTLPR between ADHD( S/S, S/L, L/L genetypes : 52.5% ,41.7% ,5.8% ; S, L alleles:73.4% ,26.6% ) and normal control ( S/S, S/L, L/L genetypes:58.3% ,32.2% ,9.5% ; S,L Alleles: 74.3% ,25.7% ) We did not observe biased transmission of the haplotypes of the alleles of this polymorphism. Conclusion Case-control analyses and within-familv tests suggest there may not be a role of 5- HTTLPR in ADHD.
