Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) 1525 locus polymorphism in patients with nodular thyroid disease and investigate the relation between individual gene polymorphism and thyroid diseases.Methods A total of 125 patients were diagnosed with nodular thyroid disease at the Department of Endocrinology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical College.Among these patients,67 cases were nodular thyroid goiter and 58 cases were nodular thyroid adenoma,54 males,71 females,and average age was 41.05 ± 14.42. Patients with nodular thyroid goiter were grouped into toxic and non-toxic and thyroid adenoma were grouped into high-functioning or non-high-functioning.A total of 100 healthy subjects.47 males,53 females,average age 42.35 ± 16.52 were as control group.According to the principle of informed consent,venous blood was collected,polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for TRAIL gene 1525 locus polymorphism determination was performed to calculate genotype of the TRAIL gene (homozygous GG,heterozygous GA,mutationhomozygous AA) and the gene frequency (G,A),and relative degree of risk(odd ratio,OR) was compared.ResultsNodular goiter group TRAIL gene 1525 locus genotype frequencies(GG:40.3％,AG:44.8％,AA:14.9％),allele frequencies(G:62.7％,A:37.3％) were compared with that of the control group(GG:17.0％,AG:65.0％,AA:18.0％; G:49.5％,A:50.5％),the differences were statistically significant(x2 =11.376,5.633,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ).Adenomas group 1525 locus genotype frequencies of the TRAIL gene(GG:44.8％,AG:38.0％,AA:17.2％),allele frequencies(G:63.8％,A:36.2％) were compared with that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(x2 =15.342,6.054,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Allele frequencies of thyroid goiter group and denoma group were compared with that of the control group,OR values were 1.714 and 1.797(all P ＜ 0.05) and 95％ confidence intervals were 1.097 - 2.679 and 1.124 - 2.874.The difference of 1525 locus genotype or allele frequency distribution in toxic and non-toxic nodular group,high functioning and non-high-functioning adenomas group were not statistically significant (x2 =3.714,2.792; 1.103,2.020; all P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionTRAIL gene 1525 locus polymorphism is significantly associated with nodular thyroid disease.
