Abstract

Background:

SNP based association studies have revolutionized the field of biomedicines. Enteric fever is a systemic disease with etiologic agent Salmonella enterica serovar typhi and paratyphi. It is a serious health issue worldwide and presents wide variations in incidence, rates, and severity. Previous investigations revealed that genetic variations may lead to susceptibility to typhoid fever. The current study was performed to investigate the potential association of PARK2_e01(-697) polymorphism with the susceptibility to typhoid in the Punjabi population.

Methods:

For this case-control study, blood samples obtained from typhoid patients with positive Typhidot or blood culture test (n=72) and healthy controls (n=73) were processed for DNA extraction. The polymorphism PARK2_e01(-697) analysis was carried out by using PCR and RFLP.

Results:

No allelic association was found between PARK2_e01(-697) and susceptibility to typhoid fever in the understudy population.

Conclusion:

This case control study is the demonstration of the non-association of PARK2_e01(-697) with typhoid in the Pakistani population. Future research, using larger population size, will help to elucidate the role of PARK2_e01(-697) polymorphism in typhoid pathogenesis.

Keywords:

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
