Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association of the polymorphisms of the FGB gene rs4220 and rs1044291 loci with plasma fibrinogen (Fg) level and gallstones in Xinjiang, China. Methods Blood samples were collected from 150 Uygur and Han patients with gallstones and 150 Uygur and Han individuals without gallstones who were hospitalized or underwent physical examination in The People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from December 2017 to May 2020. Plasma Fg level was measured, and based on the previous results of whole exon sequencing of the FGB gene, the SNaPshot method was used to identify the genotype at rs4220 and rs1044291 loci of the FGB gene. The t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between each variable and gallstones. Results For the Chinese Han population, the gallstones group had a significantly higher plasma Fg level than the control group [2.90 (2.43-3.49) g/L vs 2.47 (2.06-3.02) g/L, Z =-3.62, P < 0.01), while there was no significant difference in the Uyghur population. There were no significant differences in the frequencies of genotypes and alleles at the rs4220 and rs1044291 loci of the FGB gene between the gallstones group and the control group in both Uyghur and Han populations (all P > 0.05). For the Chinese Han population, the subjects carrying GG genotype at the rs4220 locus in the gallstones group had a significantly higher plasma Fg level than those in the control group [2.84(2.32-3.61) g/L vs 2.34(2.05-2.75) g/L, Z =-3.04, P < 0.05], and the subjects carrying T genotype at the rs1044291 locus had a significantly higher plasma Fg level than those in the control group (3.08±0.75 g/L vs 2.48±0.48 g/L, t =2.80, P < 0.05). For the Uyghur population, only the subjects carrying A genotype at the rs4220 locus in the gallstones group had a significantly lower plasma Fg level than those in the control group [2.84(2.08-3.06) g/L vs 3.10(2.85-3.98) g/L, Z =-2.41, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in plasma Fg level between the subjects carrying different genotypes within the gallstones group or the control group for both Uyghur and Han populations (all P > 0.05). Conclusion The influence of FGB gene polymorphism on plasma Fg level may be associated with race, and FGB gene polymorphisms at the rs4220 and rs1044291 loci may be involved in the pathogenesis of gallstones by regulating Fg level in the population in Xinjiang.
