Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TLR9 gene and the occurrence of condyloma acuminatum (CA). Methods Peripheral venous blood was obtained from 63 patients with CA and 23 normal human controls with informed consent. DNA was extracted from the blood samples and subjected to the amplification of TLR9 gene by PCR followed by sequence analysis. Results There were 4 SNPs, i.e., SNP1, SNP2, SNP3 and SNP4 at positions 1174, 1635, 1269 and 1724 of the TLR9 gene, respectively. Of these SNPs, SNP1 was located in intron 1, SNP2, SNP3 and SNP4 in exon 2. The registration number is rs352139 for SNP1, rs352140 for SNP2 in NCBI database. SNP3 and SNP4 were newly discovered positions. The frequency at SNP1 position was 0.690 and 0.609 for allele A in the patients and controls, respectively, 0.309 and 0.391 for allele G, respectively (both P > 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the patients and controls in the frequency of allele A or allele G at position SNP2 (0.302 vs. 0.698, 0.369 vs. 0.630, both P > 0.05). There were 4 haplotypes at the SNP1 and SNP2 positions, including AA, AG, GA and GG, with no significant difference in the frequency between the patients and controls (all P> 0.05). Conclusions There are 4 SNPs including SNP1, SNP2, SNP3 and SNP4 in the TLR9 gene in Guangdong Han population. SNP1 and SNP2 appear unrelated to the liability to CA.
