Association between LCE gene polymorphisms and psoriasis vulgaris among Mongolians from Inner Mongolia.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The late cornified envelope (LCE) gene cluster is located on chromosome 1q21, including LCE1-LCE6. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LCE cluster were associated with susceptibility to psoriasis in Chinese population. However, there is no report on the relationship in ethnic minority areas in China. This study aimed to investigate the association between the gene polymorphisms of LCE1B, LCE1C, LCE3A, LCE3D and psoriasis vulgaris among Mongolians from Inner Mongolia. Totally, 305 Mongolians with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and 383 healthy controls were enrolled in the study from 2006 to 2015. 7 SNPs including rs6701216, rs4112788, rs12023196, rs512208, rs4845454, rs4085613 and rs1886734, were selected for genotyping with ligase detection reaction (LDR). Statistical analysis was performed for comparisons of allele frequencies and genotype frequencies between the patient group and the control group. In this study, excluding rs4085613 and rs1886734, differences were detected in the allele frequencies of other 5 SNPs between the patients and controls. Genotype analysis showed that under the recessive inheritance model, the genotype frequencies of rs4845454, rs4112788 differed between the patients and controls (all p?
