| Popis: | The Fc gamma receptor IIa (FcγRIIa), encoded by FCGR2A gene, has been suggested to play a crucial role in immunity by linking immunoglobulin G antibody-mediated responses with cellular effector and regulatory functions. Polymorphisms in FCGR2A have been shown to affect FcγRIIa/antibody interactions and have been potentially implicated in several autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. This study was designed to analyze the association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and FCGR2A polymorphisms in the Chinese population.A total of 422 patients with UC and 710 unaffected controls were recruited. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms of FCGR2A (rs1801274, rs10800309, rs4657039, rs511278, and rs6696854) were genotyped by SNaPshot. Analyses for linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype studies of FCGR2A were performed for all study subjects.The frequency of the minor homozygote (CC) of the rs1801274 SNP of FCGR2A was shown to be significantly lower in patients with UC than in controls (7.1% vs. 12.1%, p = 0.008). Two haplotype blocks, formed by FCGR2A (rs4657039, rs6696854, and rs10800309) and FCGR2A (rs1801274 and rs511278), respectively, were observed in the subsequent LD analysis. The TC haplotype constructed by the major allele of FCGR2A (rs1801274 and rs511278) was more prevalent in UC patients compared with controls (65.2% vs. 60.2%, p = 0.017).The minor homozygote (CC) of FCGR2A (rs1801274) may contribute to decrease the susceptibility to UC and the TC haplotype formed by FCGR2A (rs1801274 and rs511278) may increase the risk of UC in the Chinese population. |
