目的 探讨肿瘤坏死因子-β(tumor necrosis factor-β,TNF-β)基因G252A多态性与精神分裂症、心境障碍是否关联。方法 收集65个核心家系,采用PCR-RFLP技术对G252A多态性基因分型,进行传递不平衡检验。结果在女性组(X^2=5.26,10=1,P〈0.05)和发病年龄≤25岁早发组(X^2=6.76,10=1,P〈0.01),G252A多态性与精神分裂症相关联;在早发组(X^2=5.00,10:1,P〈0.05)G252A多态性与心境障碍相关联,无性别差异(P〉0.05)。结论 在中国汉族人群中TNF-β基因可能是精神分裂症和心境障碍的共同易患基因之一,并可能影响发病年龄。
Objective To explore the relationships between TNF-β gene polymorphism G252A and schizophrenia, mood disorders in the mixed pedigrees of Chinese Han population. Methods Collected 65 core families, the G252A polymorphism was genotyped by applying PCR-RLFP technique, then transmission disequilibrium test (TDT)'was performed. Results TNF-β gene polymorphism G252A was associated with schizophrenia in female group ( Z2 = 5.26,v = 1, P 〈 0.05 ) and early-onset ( age of onset ≤ 25 years ) group ( X^2 = 6.76, V = 1, P 〈 0.01 ). The G252A polymorphism was associated with mood disorders in early-onset group( X^2 = 5.00 ,V = 1, P 〈 0.05). Conclusion TNF-β gene may be one of common susceptible genes for schizophrenia and mood disorders in Chinese Han population, also may affect the age of onset.
