Objective:
To investigate the association between IL-1beta and DVWA gene and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD).
Methods:
Peripheral genomic DNA were extracted from 105 patients with KBD and 98 healthy controls. PCR-RFLP were performed to detect SNP loci of IL-1beta gene and DVWA gene.
Results:
The patients with KBD had significantly higher frequency of rs16944 (IL-1beta) locus (chi2 = 24.28, P < 0.001) and single allele frequency of rs16944 (chi2 = 5.683, P = 0.0171) than the healthy controls. There were no significant differences in genotype frequencies,single allele frequencies and haplotypes in rs4685241 and rs1143627 between the patients with KBD and the healthy controls.
Conclusion:
rs16944 (IL-1beta) is associated with KBD.
