Abstract:
Objective:To study TGF? and TGF?3 polymorphisms in patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate(NSCLP,CLP or CL)and cleft palate only(CPO).Methods:TGF? and TGF?3 DNA was extracted and amplified from peripheral leukocytes of 56 cases of NSCLP(40 of CLP and 16 of CL),26 of CPO and 28 of unrelated controls.The primers were designed according to the 3'untranslated region of TGF? and 5th exon of TGF?3 published in the Internet.The PCR products were analyzed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism(SSCP).The aim fragments were further conformed by DNA sequencing after being cloned into pGEM-T vector.Results:The 345 bp fragment of TGF? and 193 bp of TGF?3 were amplified from NSCLP,CPO and control samples.In SSCP analysis,three alleles of TGF? and two of TGF?3 were found.Sequencing results showed three DNA polymorphic sites in TGF? and one in TGF?3 which were all base shifts.There was no difference of each genome between patients and controls.Conclusion:There are no direct association between 3'UTR of TGF? or 5th exon of TGF?3 and NSCLP or CPO in Chinese.
