ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To test for possible association of hsp70-2 (+1267A/G), hsp70-hom (+2437T/C), HMOX-1 (number of GT repeats) and TNF-α (+489G/A) polymorphisms with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Croatian population.METHODS:
Genotyping of DNA isolated from whole blood of 130 COPD patients (as defined by spirometry) and 95 healthy controls was performed. Fragment size analysis upon restriction enzyme digestion and/or sequencing was used for genotype/allele definition. Significance of findings was tested using χ(2) test.RESULTS:
hsp70-2 (+1267A/G) polymorphism was significantly associated with COPD. Results of genotyping analysis indicated that a genotype carrying G allele was preferentially associated with COPD; odds ratio (OR)=1.50, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.00-2.24 and P=0.061. OR for the GG genotype was 3.47 with CI=1.26-9.56 and P=0.04. No association for hsp70-hom (+2437T/C), TNF-α (+489G/A) and HMOX-1 (number of GT repeats) polymorphisms were found. In addition, comparison of genotype frequencies among different stages of disease severity (GOLD II-IV) revealed no discrimination for any of the tested polymorphisms.CONCLUSION:
This study is supporting the association of hsp70-2 (+1267A/G) polymorphism and COPD. Higher frequency of G allele and GG genotype in Croatian COPD patients was observed. There was no evidence for the association of hsp70-hom (+2437T/C), TNF-α (+489G/A) SNPs and HMOX-1 (number of GT repeats) polymorphism with COPD. Allele and genotype frequencies for all of the tested polymorphisms show no association with disease severity (GOLD II-IV).
