目的:在缺血性卒中家系中探讨PDE4D基因rs966221位点多态性与缺血性卒中及其相关性状的关系。方法:采用家系研究设计,应用广义估计方程(generalized estimating equation,GEE)进行多因素的回归分析,并用非参数连锁分析和以家系为基础的关联检验(family based association test,FBAT)进行连锁和关联分析。结果:共纳入276个缺血性卒中家系,776名研究对象。应用GEE控制混杂因素并调整家系内部相关性后,载脂蛋白B、颈动脉内膜中层厚度、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇及血压水平与缺血性卒中相关(P〈0.05)。非参数连锁分析和FBAT分析均未发现rs966221位点多态性与缺血性卒中相关,但该位点与卒中相关的数量性状存在连锁和关联关系。非参数连锁分析发现,在调整可能的混杂因素后,rs966221位点与载脂蛋白B(P〈0.001)、超敏C反应蛋白水平(P=0.003)、收缩压(P=0.036)存在连锁;在调整高脂血症、高血压等疾病的患病状态后,rs966221位点TT基因型(P=0.019)和CT基因型(P=0.007)与颈动脉内膜中层厚度相关,显性模型中C等位基因与颈动脉内膜中层厚度具有统计学关联(P=0.019)。结论:血脂、血压的异常以及颈动脉内膜中层增厚与缺血性卒中相关,PDE4D基因rs966221位点与载脂蛋白B、超敏C反应蛋白及收缩压水平存在连锁,该位点C等位基因与颈动脉内膜中层厚度具有统计学关联。
Objective: To investigate the PDE4D gene with stroke and related traits in linkage and association between rs966221 (SNP 83 ) in ischemic stroke families. Methods: Ischemic stroke families including ischemic stroke patients and their siblings and/or parents were recruited. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to adjust for with-in family correlations and other potential confounding factors. Non-parameter linkage analysis and family based association test (FBAT) were applied to ex- plore the relationship between rs966221 polymorphism and ischemic stroke together with its related traits. Results: In the study 276 ischemic stroke families with totally 776 participants were enrolled. Apolipoprotein B (apoB), carotid intima media thickness (cIMT), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure were associated with ischemic stroke. In family based association test, after being adjusted for related chronic diseases, rs966221 C allele was found to be associated with cIMT in the dominant model (P =0. 019 ), TF genotype ( P = 0. 019 ) and CT genotype ( P = 0. 007 ) were associated with cIMT significantly. After being adjusted for potential confounding factors, evidence of linkage was observed for rs966221 with apoB ( P 〈 0. 001 ), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( P = 0. 003 ) and systolic blood pressure (P = 0. 036). Conclusion: Abnormal serum lipid, blood pressure and increasing cIMT were associated with ischemic stroke, and linkage was observed for with apoB, high-sensitivity Creactive protein, and systolic blood pressure; rs966221 C allele was probably associated with cIMT.
