Variable Ethnic Frequency and Risk Ratio of DMPK Gene: A Meta-Analysis Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is due to CTG repeats in the 3’UTR region of DMPK gene. It has an incidence of 1 in 8000 in the Western European and North American populations and a lower incidence of 1 in 20,000 in Japan. However, prevalence of the disease in diverse Indian populations is still unknown. Materials and Methods: The intention of the present study was to perform the meta-analysis to investigate the different ethnic frequency and risk ratio of DM1 in different populations of the world including India. Total twelve populations belong from Europeans, Asians and American were included in the present study. Meta-analyst was used for the analysis. Results: The meta-analysis of the seven European populations demonstrated that Italian population had higher risk ratio in comparison to other studied population. Similarly, the three Asian populations demonstrated that South Indian population had higher risk ratio in comparison of North India and Korean population. In addition, the meta-analysis of two American population postulated that Canada had higher risk ratio in comparison of Brazil. Conclusion: A vast ethnic variation in frequency of DMPK gene of different population of DM1, and expanded CTG repeat alleles as well as associated risk.

Protective Effects of Educational Attainment Against Cigarette Smoking; Diminished Returns of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the National Health Interview Survey
Introduction: Although educational attainment is protective against health risk behaviors such as smoking, the Minorities’ Diminished Return theory posits that these protective effects are smaller for ethnic minorities than majority groups. This study compared the effects of educational attainment on the smoking status of American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) and White ...

Background: Many studies have reported the association of estrogen receptor α gene (ESRα) ESRα PvuII T>C, XbaI A>G and BtgI G>A polymorphisms with Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) risk, but the results remained controversial. In order to drive a more precise estimation, the present systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between ESRα polymorphisms and KOA susce...

MYO15A is the third most crucial gene in hereditary sensorineural hearing loss after GJB2 and SLC26A4. In the present study, we reviewed the prevalence of MYO15A mutations in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). In this meta-analysis, we conducted a search of PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica Database, and Scopus, and identified the articles up to Septemb...

Background: The frequency of the multi-drug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene C3435T polymorphism differs in various ethnical populations such as Asian, African, and Caucasians populations. A silent C3435T polymorphism in exon 26 of MDR1 has been reported to be associated with a decreased expression of P-gp in TT genotypes carriers compared with CC genotypes carriers. Materials and Methods: To evaluate ...
