[GNA11 gene rs11084997 polymorphisms might be associated with risk of adult-onset non-surgical hypoparathyroidism].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the association of GNA11 gene polymorphisms with the risk of adult-onset non-surgical hypoparathyroidism (Ns-HypoPT). Methods: Genotyping of GNA11 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs28685098, rs4806907, rs11084997 and rs78003011) was carried out in 203 patients and 209 healthy participants by sequenom MassArray iPLEX System. These SNPs are located in promoter and 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of GNA11 gene, respectively. Results: Allele and genotype frequencies of rs11084997 in patients were significantly different from those of controls (genotype GG60.5% vs. 49.8%, GC 35.5% vs. 41.6%, CC 4.0% vs. 8.6%, P=0.038; G allele 78.3% vs. 70.6%, C allele 21.7% vs. 29.4%, P=0.012), and the C allele of rs11084997 carriers had a lower risk to develops Ns-HypoPT in additive and dominant genetic models [OR=0.382 (0.160-0.915), 0.647 (0.437-0.957)]. CC-Haplotype formed by the minor alleles of rs4806907 and rs11084997 was associated with a decreased risk of Ns-HypoPT in additive, dominant and recessive genetic model [OR=0.317 (0.126-0.801), 0.640 (0.430-0.952), 0.367 (0.148-0.912)]. Conclusion: The minor allele C of rs11084997 in GNA11 gene promoter was associated with decreased risk of Ns-HypoPT in Chinese population.
