Association between prothrombin gene polymorphisms and hereditary thrombophilia in Xinjiang Kazakhs population.

ABSTRACT

To assess the association between polymorphisms of prothrombin gene and hereditary thrombophilia in Xinjiang Kazakhs population. Through cross-sectional investigation, permanent Kazakh population of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture was selected as the study object to measure their antithrombin III (AT-III), protein C, protein S activity and activated C protein resistance value, thus defining the situation of the crowd's hereditary thrombophilia. Sequenom Massarray detection technology was used to conduct a genotype test of the six sites selected by the case and control groups. Haploview software was used to perform linkage disequilibrium analysis of the six sites, and the impact of the interaction between genetic variations and environment on hereditary thrombophilia was researched by the use of sum model. A total of 1005 Kazakh volunteers participated in the test (332 men and 673 women), average age (41.13 ±â€Š11.50) years; the prevalence of hereditary thrombophilia in Xinjiang Kazakh population was 31.0%, and the prevalence of AT-III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency and activated protein C resistance was 16.4, 14.9, 20.6 and 7.8%, respectively. The difference in allele frequency of the hereditary thrombophilia patient group at rs3136447 and rs5896 sites was statistically significant (P = 0.0483 and P = 0.0302, respectively). rs5896 and rs2070852 had high linkage disequilibrium (r = 0.99), and constituted a single-domain block 1. The rs3136447 and the rs5896 polymorphisms located in the region of the prothrombin gene may be associated with hereditary thrombophilia in the Xinjiang Kazakhs population. There is additive interactive effect of rs5896 polymorphism (CT + TT) and smoke on hereditary thrombophilia.
