Abstract:
This study was aimed to investigate the distribution of 1059 G/C gene polymorphism of C-reactive protein(CRP) in deep vein thrombus (DVT) and its clinical significance. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to screen 1059 G/C polymorphism in exon 2 of C-reactive protein gene in 61 cases of DVT and 60 healthy controls. The frequency of mutation was calculated. The results showed that there was no statistical difference of 1059 G/C genotype and mutation frequency of allele between deep vein thrombosis group and control group (p > 0.05). It is concluded that the 1059 G/C gene polymorphism of CRP displays certain difference in races and areas, and whether 1059 G/C gene polymorphism of CRP is a dangerous factor for deep vein thrombosis, which needs to be deeply explored.
