Abstract:
Objective To characterize the C677T polymorphism of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in Xinjiang Uygur and Han nationality population.Methods The C677T polymorphism of MTHFR gene was detected by using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in 134 Uygur and 166 Han nationality people.Results There were 3 MTHFR C677T genotypes,i.e.,CC,CT,and TT.A significant difference was observed in the frequency of CC,CT,and TT genotypes of MTHFR C677T polymorphism between Han and Uygur nationality people (21.7%,53.0% and 25.3% vs.16.4%,80.6% and 2.96%,x2 =33.78,P < 0.01).The frequency of CC,CT,and TT genotypes of MTHFR C677T polymorphism was 16.95%,79.67%,3.39% respectively,in men of Uygur nationality,16.0%,81.33%,2.67% respectively,in women of of Uygur nationality,25.8%,47.1% and 27.1% respectively in men of Han nationality,17.28%,59.26% and 23.46% respectively in women of Han nationality.There was no gender difference in the distribution of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in Han or Uygur nationality population (both P < 0.05).Conclusions There is a significant difference between Uygur and Han nationality population,but no gender difference is observed,in the distribution of MTHFR C677T genotypes in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
