Objective:To investigategenetic association between the fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) gene polymorphism and subacute combined degeneration (SCD) inHan descent population inShaanxi Province. Methods:Ninety-three patients with SCD from January 2015 to December 2017 were recruited in this study as case group. Meanwhile, 100 healthy volunteers were included as control group. The genotype was determined by polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing for FUT2 gene T357C, A385T and G428A polymorphism. Clinical data were collected for statistical analysis. Genetic association between the FUT2 gene polymorphism and serum vitamin B12 (VitB12) level and susceptibility of SCD was investigated. Results:In the control group, G428A genetic polymorphisms were associated with serum VitB12 level. Serum VitB12 level of volunteers with A allele decreased significantly (P=0.036). In the case group, there was no association between the FUT2 gene polymorphism and serum VitB12 level (all P>0.05). G428A gene polymorphism was significantly associated with SCD both in allelic association analysis (OR=3.142, 95% CI 1.119-8.968, P=0.025) and in dominant model (OR=3.069, 95% CI 1.051-9.227, P=0.032) after adjustment for sex and age. There was no association between the T357C、A385T gene polymorphism and susceptibility of SCD. Conclusion:Polymorphism of FUT2 (G428A) affectsserum VitB12 concentration, and associate with the susceptibility of SCD. |
