Abstract:
OBJECTIVEFour single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in HOXD10, HOXD12 and HOXD13 genes were chosen to investigate SNP and haplotypes distribution in idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus nuclear pedigrees.
METHODSGenotypes of 4 SNPs in 84 idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus nuclear pedigrees were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Analysis of association between SNP locus and idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus was performed using ETDT software. Haplotypes and their frequencies in 84 nuclear pedigrees were established and analyzed by TRANSMIT software.
RESULTSrs847151 polymorphism was not detected; the rs847154 located in 5' flanking sequence of HOXD12 gene and the rs13392701 located in exon 1 of HOXD13 gene were noted to have transmission disequilibrium in 84 nuclear pedigrees (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONrs847154 located in 5' flanking sequence of HOXD12 gene and rs13392701 located in exon 1 of HOXD13 gene are associated with idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus; HOXD12 andHOXD13 are important susceptible genes of idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus.
