The relationship between Ala/Ser polymorphism in 133 codon of exon 3 region of the RASSF1 gene and genetic susceptibility of lung cancer in Hubei province Han population was investigated by a case-control study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was adopted to analyze the polymorphism of codon 133 of exon 3 in the RASSF1 gene of 100 pathologically diagnosed lung cancer patients, and 100 healthy controls. The relationship between different genotypes and the susceptibility of lung cancer was analyzed. Among 200 blood samples from Han people in Hubei Province, including 100 from lung cancer patients and 100 from healthy controls, the frequencies of Ala/Ala, Ala/Ser, Ser/Ser genotype of the RASSF1 in lung cancer patients were 83%, 16%, 1%, and those in healthy controls was 93%, 7%, 0% respectively, with the difference being statistically significant between two groups (P<0.05). The individuals with Ala/Ser genotype had higher risk of suffering from lung cancer, with an OR of 2.341, and 95% CI of 1.009-6.393 respectively. It was concluded that RASSF1Ala133Ser was a susceptible genetic factor of lung cancer. Ala/Ser genotype increased the risk of lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the association between gene polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor(VDR) and Tourette syndrome (TS).Methods:The genetic contributions of VDR FokI (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410), and Cdx2 (rs11568820) polymorphisms were genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination real-time (RT)-PCR, which evaluated by a case-control analysis in 417 TS patients and 442 healthy controls, and followed by a family-based study in 417 TS trios.Chi-square test and relative risk analysis were conducted by IBM SPSS 23.0 software.Results:FokI (rs2228570) had three genotypes(CC=109, CT=235, TT=73); BsmI (rs1544410) had three genotypes(AA=2, AG=45, GG=370); Cdx2 (rs11568820) had three genotypes(AA=71, AG=200, GG=146). No significant difference in genotype ( χ2=5.516, P=0.063; χ2=3.466, P=0.177; χ2=0.561, P=0.755, respectively) or allele frequencies( χ2=0.840, P=0.359; χ2=3.376, P=0.066; χ2=0.051, P=0.822, respectively)of FokI, BsmI and Cdx2 were identified between TS patients and control groups.No significant over-transmission was identified for these three polymorphisms among 417 TS trios in the family-based study (TDT for FokI: χ2=0.009, P=0.962; for BsmI: χ2=1.220, P=0.320; and for Cdx2: χ2=0.260, P=0.646). Haplotype relative risk (HRR) analysis and haplotype-based haplotype relative risk (HHRR) analysis showed no significant difference in allele frequencies distribution of FokI, BsmI and Cdx2 (all P>0.05). Conclusion:VDR receptor gene polymorphism has no effect on TS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. However, a potential role of VDR should be explored in more polymorphisms, different populations and larger samples.
