Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between interleukin(IL)-1F7 gene (rs3811047)single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods SNP of IL-1F7 gene (rs3811047) was analyzed in 158 patients with AS and 181 healthy controls by ligase detection reaction based on high temperature ligase (LDR-PCR). The distribution of IL-1 F7 (rs3811047 ) genotypes and allele frequencies were detected between the two groups. Results Significant differences were found in the distribution of IL-1F7(rs3811047 ) genotypes and allele frequencies between AS patients and healthy controls. The frequency of A allele of IL-1F7 gene at positions rs3811047 was 12.03% and 17.68% in AS group and the control group,and the frequency of G allele was 87.97%, 82.32%, respectively (x2=4.2204, P=0.0399). The percentage of AA, AG and GG genotype was 0, 24.05%, 75.95% in AS group, which differed from the controls group (2.76%, 29.83%, 67.41% ). The difference had remarkable statistical significance (x2=6.2675, P=0.043).The positive rate of HLA-B27 in AS patients which represented as AG genotype was 70.27% (26/37),remarkably lower than that in AS patients which represented as GG genotype 94.23% (98/104), the difference was statistically significant (x2=2.168, P=0.030), erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein levels were conspicuously lower than that in GG genotype (t=2.971, P=0.013; t=3.300, P=0.001 ). Conclusion Our study suggests that the SNP (rs3811047) of IL-1F7 may be a susceptibile factor for AS in Anhui Han population, the genotype may influence the clinical phenotypes of AS.Patients who carry the A allele may have less inflammation than patients who do not carry the A allele.
