Association of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G promoter polymorphism with recurrent cerebral infarction in China’s North Jiangsu Province

         

摘要

BACKGROUND: Many international studies have shown that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G promoter polymorphism does not increase the risk for cerebral infarction. OBJECTIVE: Using PCR methodology and agarose electrophoresis to detect PAI-1 4G/5G promoter polymorphism in patients with recurrent cerebral infarction in the North Jiangsu Province of China, and to compare results with healthy subjects and patients with first-occurrence cerebral infarction in the same region. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Non-randomized, concurrent, control trial. A total of 122 cerebral infarction patients were admitted to Xuzhou Medical College Hospital's Department of Neurology and Xuzhou Central Hospital’s Department of Neurology between July 2003 and August 2006. PARTICIPANTS: The patients consisted of 63 males and 59 females, aged (62 ± 10) years. They were divided into first-occurrence (n = 58) and recurrence (n = 64) groups. In addition, 50 healthy subjects that underwent physical examination in the outpatient department, including 26 males and 24 females, aged (60 ±12) years, were selected as controls. METHODS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: PAI-1 4G/5G promoter polymorphism was detected and analyzed using PCR methodology and agarose electrophoresis. RESULTS: Significant differences were determined in terms of genotypic frequency and allele frequency of PAI-1 4G/5G promoter polymorphism, in patients with first-occurrence or recurrent cerebral infarction, when compared with healthy subjects (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: PAI-1 4G/5G promoter polymorphism is genetic risk factor for cerebral infarction in China. However, it may be associated with recurrence of cerebral infarction in patients from the North Jiangsu Province of China.
