目的研究维生素D受体(VDR)和降钙素受体(CTR)基因多态性与新疆地区汉族女性人群骨密度(BMD)的关系,探讨原发性骨质疏松症发病的遗传易感因素。方法采用聚合酶链反应(PCR—RFLP)限制性片段长度多态性技术,对336例新疆地区汉族女性人群的VDR和CTR基因进行多态性分析,双能X线吸收法测定受试者L2~4、ward’s三角、大粗隆、股骨干4个部位的BMD值,比较不同基因型各部位BMD值的差异。结果(1)336例受试者VDR、CTR受体基因型频率分布均符合Hardy—Weinberg定律,90例骨质疏松组与246例非骨质疏松组VDR与CTR基因型分布频率差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。(2)年龄与不同部位BMD值之间呈负相关(P〈0.05),体质指数与BMD值之间呈正相关(P〈0.05),在将年龄和体质指数进行校正后发现非骨质疏松组中CTRCT基因型在Ward’s三角的BMD值高于CC基因型(P〈0.05);VDRBb基因型在L2-4、Ward’s三角部位BMD均低于bb型(P〈0.05),Bh基因型的BMD值在大粗隆、股骨干部位较bb型有降低趋势(P〉0.05);VDR—CTR复合基因CCBb型的BMD值最低。结论年龄与BMD值变化密切相关;体质指数是新疆汉族女性非骨质疏松的保护性因素,适当增加体重对防治骨质疏松有积极的意义;VDRBb基因型与BMD降低密切相关;VDR—CTR复合基因CCBb型可作为预测新疆地区女性发生骨质疏松危险性的遗传学标志。
Objective To investigate the associations of bone mineral density (BMD) with vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and calcitonin receptor (CTR) gene polymorphisms in Han women from Xinjiang; and to discuss the genetic susceptibility factors of osteoporosis (OP). Methods VDR and CTR genotypes were identified with polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR -RFLP) , so as to analyze distribution of VDR and CTR poly- morphisms of 336 Hart women from Xinjiang. BMD was measured by dual energy X- ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at the lumbar spine (L2-4) , Ward's triangle, great trochanter, and femoral shaft. Comparing the differences of BMD values of different locations among different genotypes. Results A total of 336 women were included in the study. The distributions of VDR and CTR genotypes met Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium ( all P 〉 0.05 ) ; and there was no significant difference in VDR or CTR genotype frequency between osteoporosis group ( n = 90 ) and non - osteoporosis group ( n = 246 ) ( P 〉 0. 05 ). We also found that BMD values of different locations were significantly negatively correlated with age ( P 〈 0. 05 ) and positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) ( P 〈 0. 05 ). When BMD were adjusted by age and BMI, the women with CT genotype of CTR gene had a higher adjusted BMD than CC genotype at Ward's triangle ( P 〈 0. 05 ) in non - osteoporosis group. The adjusted BMDs at L2-4 and Ward's triangle were significant lower in the women with Bb geno- type of VDR gene compared to the bb genotype ( P 〈 O. 05 ). Compared to the bb genotype at great troehanter and femoral neck in non - osteoporosis group, the adjusted BMDs showed a decreasing tendency in women with Bb genotype. The ad- justed BMD of CCBb genotype was the lowest. Conclusion Age is closely correlated to the change of BMD. BMI is a protective factor for OP in Hart women in Xinjiang, and increasing weight may have a positive effect on preventing an
