SHORT REPORT N-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphism in Parkinson’s disease: the Rotterdam study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The N-acetyltransferase-2 gene (NAT-2) has been associated with Parkinson’s disease. The genotype associated with slow acetylation has been reported to be increased in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Three mutant alleles M1, M2, and M3 of NAT-2 were investigated in 80 patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and 161 age matched randomly selected controls from a prospective population based cohort study. The allelic frequencies and genotypic distributions in patients were very similar to those found in controls. In controls the frequency of the wild type allele increased significantly with age suggesting that the mutant alleles are associated with an increased risk of mortality. These findings suggest that NAT-2 polymorphism is not a major genetic determinant of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, but may be a determinant of mortality in the general population.

متن کاملSHORT REPORT Association of polymorphisms in the Tau and Saitohin genes with Parkinson’s disease
Background: The Saitohin gene has recently been identified in intron 9 of the Tau gene. Because an association between Parkinson’s disease and Tau has been described, Saitohin represents a candidate gene for Parkinson’s disease. Objective: To test these two genes for their association with Parkinson’s disease in a large community based case–control study. Results: Cases (n = 208) were more ofte...
متن کاملAntituberculosis Drug-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Iranian Tuberculosis Patients: Role of Isoniazid Metabolic Polymorphism
The aim of this study was to determine the association of n-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Acetylating phenotypes was studied in 50 Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients using metabolic ratio of plasma acetyl-Isoniazid to Isoniazid. The association between hepatotoxicity and the n-acetyltransferas...
متن کاملAssociation of Polymorphism in Cytochrome P450 2D6 and N-Acetyltransferase-2 with Parkinson’s Disease
The present case-control study was carried out to investigate the association of polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and N-acteyltransferase-2 (NAT2}, that are involved in the metabolism and detoxification of chemicals causing Parkinson disease (PD) like symptoms, with PD. Our data demonstrated increased frequency of CYP2D6*2 (1749G/C and 2938C/T), CYP2D6*4 (1934G/A) and CYP2D6*10A (18...
