Association study between a novel single nucleotide polymorphism of the promoter region of the prostacyclin synthase gene and essential hypertension.

چکیده
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an association exists between the promoter region of the prostacyclin synthase gene and essential hypertension (EH). Using the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method, we discovered a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), T-192G, in the 5'-flanking region. We performed an association study using the SNP in 200 patients and 200 controls. The allele frequency distribution in the two groups was not significantly different. Thus, this SNP in the PGIS gene is not associated with EH.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system is believed to have a T cell-mediated autoimmune etiology. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene is a strong candidate for the involvement in autoimmune diseases. To examine the genetic association of the CTLA-4 gene locus with MS, in a case-control design, we analyzed (-318 C/T) sin...
