목적: 자궁 내막증은 자궁 내막 조직이 자궁 외에 존재하는 것을 특징으로 하는 질환으로서 만성적인 골반통, 생리통, 성교통을 유발하며 불임의 원인이 될 수 있는 진행성 질환이다. 오랜 기간의 연구에도 불구하고 자궁내막증의 병인에 대하여 확실하게 밝혀진 것이 없지만 자궁내막증이 에스트로겐에 의존적인 질환이며 프로게스테론의 투여로 인하여 증상의 치료가 가능하다는 사실에 대해서는 이견이 많지 않다. 일부 유전적 연구 결과들을 살펴보면 자궁내막증과 에스트로겐 및 프로게스테론 수용체 유전자의 특정 다형성 부위와 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국인 여성을 대상으로 하여 프로게스테론 수용체 유전자의 다형성 (PROGINS) 양상과 에스트로겐 수용체 유전자의 PvuII 및 XbaI 다형성 양상을 분석하여 자궁내막증 환자와 대조군에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 고안되었다. 연구 방법: 수술 및 병리조직 소견을 통하여 자궁내막증을 확진받은 100명의 환자와 건강검진을 시행 받은 일반 인구군 110명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환자들의 말초 혈액에서 DNA를 추출한 후 프로게스테론 수용체의 유전자 다형성 검사를 PCR-SSP (Sequence specific primer) 방법으로 시행하였고, 에스트로겐 수용체-alpha 유전자의 다형성을 PvuII 및 XbaI 두 가지 제한효소를 이용한 PCR-RFLP (Restriction fragment length polymorphism) 방법을 이용하여 검사한 후 자궁내막증 환자군과 건강대조군에 있어서 특정 유전자 다형성의 빈도에 차이가 있는지 X2 검정을 통하여 통계 분석하였다. 결과: PROGINS 다형성 양상에서는 자궁내막증군과 대조군에서 각각 1명에서만 T1/T2 이형접합자로 확인이 되었고 나머지 개체에서는 모두 T1/T1 동형접합자임이 확인되었다. 에스트로겐 수용체 유전자 PvuII 다형성 분석에서는 자궁내막증군에서 (pp) 유전자형을 가진 개체는 32명 (32%)으로 대조군의 50명 (45.5%)에 비해 유의하게 낮은 수치를 보였다(P<0.05). (Pp)와 (PP) 유전자형의 빈도는 양 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. (p) 유전자의 빈도는 자궁내막증군에서 109 (54.5%), 대조군에서 142 (64.5%)이었고 (P)유전자의 빈도는 자궁내막증군에서 91 (45.5%), 대조군에서 78 (35.5%)로 양군 간에 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다(P<0.05). 에스트로겐 수용체 유전자 XbaI 다형성 분석에서는 자궁내막증군과 대조군에 있어서 (xx), (Xx), (XX) 유전자형의 빈도에 있어서 유의한 차이가 없었으며 (x) 유전자와 (X) 유전자의 빈도에 있어서도 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 한국인 자궁내막증 환자에 있어서 에스트로겐 수용체 유전자의 PvuII 다형성이 중요한 병인으로 작용할 수 있음을 시사하며 이러한 자료는 자궁내막증의 병인을 규명하는데 유용한 정보를 줄 것으로 생각된다. Objective: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing diverse progressive diseases such as infertility, pelvic pain, and dysmenorrhea. Although the mechanisms responsible for its pathogenesis and progression remain poorly understood, it is well established that endometriosis grows and regresses in an estrogen-dependent fashion and that administration of progestin can relieve the symptoms caused by endometriosis. Some genetic studies have demonstrated the association between the estrogen or progesterone receptor gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to endometriosis. This study was designed to investigate the associations of the polymorphism of the progesterone receptor gene (PROGINS), PvuII and XbaI polymorphism of estrogen alpha receptor gene with endometriosis in the Korean population. Methods: A total of 100 women with surgically diagnosed and histologically confirmed endometriosis of stage III-IV were enrolled as a patient population and a total of 110 female control subjects undergoing health examination were enrolled as control population. Following isolation of genomic DNA from peripheral blood, polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer assays were performed for analyzing progesterone receptor gene polymorphism (PROGINS) and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assays were performed for analyzing estrogen alpha receptor gene PvuII and XbaI polymorphism. The X2-test was used to compare genotype distributions between endometriosis and controls. Results: Only one patient in each group was found to be T1/T2 heterozygote, and the rest of the subjects were all T1/T1 homozygotes. Analysis of PvuII has shown that the significantly lower number of patients had (pp) genotypes and (p) alleles in the endometriosis group compared with the control group (32 (32%) vs. 50 (45.5%), P<0.05; 109 (54.5%) vs. 142 (64.5%), P<0.05, respectively). There was no difference in the genotype distribution or allele frequency in XbaI polymorphism between the endometriosis group and the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the PvuII polymorphism of the estrogen receptor-alpha gene is associated with the risk for endometriosis in the Korean population.

Induced Mutagenesis in Jatropha curcas L. Using Ethyl Methanesulphonate (EMS) and Assessment of DNA Polymorphism through RAPD Markers

Dharman Dhakshanamoorthy,Radhakrishnan Selvaraj,Alagappan Chidambaram 한국작물학회 2013 Journal of crop science and biotechnology Vol.16 No.3

Ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) has been employed in a number of genotoxic studies in plants as a model alkylated agent that readily reacts with DNA-producing alkylated nucleotides. Therefore, the present study was aimed at assessing DNA polymorphism induced by different concentrations (control, 1, 2, 3, and 4%) of EMS through a Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)marker analysis. The improved agronomic traits such as germination, flowering, maturity, seed traits, and oil content were recorded in 1% EMS-treated plants, while the corresponding parameters reduced significantly (P > 0.05) in 4% EMS-treated plants as compared to the control. Among 25 random primers used, 19 primers produced polymorphic bands. The number of amplicons varied from 1 to 8 with an average of 3.68 bands, of which 2.12 were polymorphic. The highest polymorphic bands (6) and percentage of polymorphism (85.71) were produced by the primer OPAK-20. In a dendrogram constructed based on Jaccard’s coefficient similarity,the treated plants and control were grouped into three clusters: (a) control and 2 and 3% concentrations of EMS-treated plants merged together; (b) 1% concentration of EMS-treated plants clustered alone; (c) 4%concentration of EMS-treated plants also clustered alone. We conclude that the effect of EMS could change the pattern of germination, flowering, seed yield, and oil content of J. curcas.

The ACE polymorphism is associated with BMI in patients with metabolic syndrome

Young Ree Kim,Seung Ho Hong,Mi Hee Kong,이근화,Sun Hyung Kim,Sung Ha Kang,김현주 한국유전학회 2011 Genes & Genomics Vol.33 No.4

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism is well known to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. Until now, however, evidence for the role of ACE polymorphism in susceptibility to metabolic syndrome (MS) has not been well studied. Thus, we investigated an association between ACE polymorphisms and Korean patients with MS. DNA samples from 214 MS patients and 193 age-matched non-MS subjects were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction for detection of the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and BstUI polymorphisms. Anthropometric and physiological parameters including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference,blood pressure, glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were measured. The genotype frequencies of the ACE I/D and BstUI polymorphisms were not significantly different between the non-MS and the MS group. The BB genotype distribution of the BstUI polymorphism in the female subgroup, however, was associated with an increased risk of MS (P = 0.008). When the data were stratified by BMI values, the high BMI groups showed significant differences between the non-MS and the MS groups, compared to the low BMI group, in all genotype frequencies of the ACE I/D and BstUI polymorphisms. The trend remained even when the genotypes of the two polymorphisms were combined. Although no consistent results were obtained on the association between the ACE polymorphism and MS in the populations studied, the ACE polymorphism, at least in Koreans,may be a genetic determinant of BMI in MS patients. Therefore, further studies are required on the association between the ACE polymorphism and MS patients in other racial or ethnic groups.

Background and Objectives: Genetic predisposition is an important risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of rs10757274 and rs2383206 polymorphisms in chromosome 9p21 on presence and severity of CAD in a Turkish population. Subjects and Methods: A total of 646 patients who underwent coronary angiography were included in this study. Coronary vessel score and Gensini score were calculated to assess the angiographic severity of CAD. Alleles of AA, AG, and GG were determined for rs10757274 (polymorphism-1) and rs2383206 (polymorphism-2) polymorphisms located in chromosome 9p21 from the blood samples. Results: There was a significant difference between the alleles in polymorphism-1 in the presence of coronary artery disease (38.9% in AA, 48.0% in GG and 56.4% in AG, p=0.017). However, there was no difference between the alleles in polymorphism-2. According to vessel scores, there was a significant difference between the alleles in polymorphism-1 (AA 0.71±1.04, GG 0.88±1.07, AG 1.06±1.12, p=0.018). In polymorphism-2, vessel scores did not show a difference between the alleles. In polymorphism-1, there was a significant difference in Gensini score (p=0.041). Gensini scores did not differ between the alleles in polymorphism-2 (p>0.05 for all). In multivariate analyses, none of the alleles was an independent factor for presence of CAD. Conclusion: The presence of rs10757274 polymorphism including AG allele in chromosome 9p21 was related to CAD. However, this relationship was not independent of other cardiovascular risk factors.

서진순,박소영,정민호,서병규,김태규,이병철,Suh, Jin Soon,Park, So Young,Jung, Min Ho,Suh, Byung Kyu,Kim, Tae Gyu,Lee, Byung Churl 대한소아청소년과학회 2005 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.48 No.8

목 적 : 한국 소아 1형 당뇨병에서 TNF promoter -857T/C와 -1031C/T 및 $LT-{\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성과 질병감수성과의 관련성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1형 당뇨병으로 진단 받은 소아 49명(여아 29명, 남아 20명)과 정상 대조군 94명의 혈액을 채취하여 DNA를 추출하였다. 추출한 DNA에 대하여 allele-specific PCR법을 이용하여 TNF promotor -1031C/T 다형성을, PCR-RFLP법을 이용하여 TNF promotor -857T/C, $LT-{\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 환자군과 대조군 사이에서 TNF promoter -857T/C, -1031C/T 다형성의 분포는 차이가 없었다. 환자들의 임상적 특징에 따라 아군(subgroup)으로 분류하였을 때, 진단 시 당뇨병성 케톤산혈증으로 발현한 환자들에서 TNF promoter -1031C/T 다형성의 TT 유전자형의 빈도가 당뇨병성 케톤산혈증으로 발현하지 않은 환자들과 비교하여 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.05). 다른 임상적 특성들과 이들 유전자 다형성 사이에는 관련성이 없었다. 또 환자와 대조군 사이에 $LT-{\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성의 분포는 차이가 없었으며, 임상적 특성과의 관련성도 없었다. 결 론 : 이 연구를 통하여 TNF promoter -857T/C, $LT-{\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성이 한국 소아에서 1형 당뇨병의 질병감수성과 관련이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 TNF promoter -1031C/T 다형성은 당뇨병성 케톤산혈증과 같은 1형 당뇨병의 특정 임상양상에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 유전적 인자로 생각된다. Purpose : Recently, it was reported that tumor necrosis factor(TNF) and $lymphotoxin-{\alpha}$($LT-{\alpha}$) gene regions might be a susceptible loci to type 1 diabetes in Japanese. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of TNF and $LT-{\alpha}$ gene polymorphisms with disease susceptibility in Korean children with type 1 diabetes. Methods : Forty-nine Korean children with type 1 diabetes(29 girls and 20 boys) and 94 healthy Koreans were investigated in this study. Genotyping for -857T/C polymorphism in the TNF promoter region and $LT-{\alpha}$ gene polymorphism were performed by PCR-RFLP(restriction fragment length polymorphism). TNF promoter -1031C/T polymorphism was detected by allele-specific PCR. Results : The distribution of the -857T/C and -1031C/T genotype in the TNF promoter region was not different between diabetic children and the controls. The frequency of TT genotype in the distribution of TNF -1031C/T polymorphism in diabetic children with diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA) at diagnosis was significantly lower than those without DKA(P<0.05). No significant difference in the distribution of $LT-{\alpha}$ gene polymorphism was observed between diabetic children and the controls. There was no association between clinical characteristics of type 1 diabetes and $LT-{\alpha}$ gene polymorphisms. Conclusion : These results suggest that TNF promoter -857T/C and $LT-{\alpha}$ gene polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in Korean children. TNF promoter -1031C/T polymorphism might be related to clinical manifestations(DKA) of type 1 diabetes.

한국인 천식환자의 Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1) 유전자 다형성에 대한 분석

황우석,정승연,김진주,정희재,정승기,Hwang, Woo-Suk,Jeong, Seung-Yeon,Kim, Jin-Ju,Jung, Hee-Jae,Jung, Sung-Ki 대한한방내과학회 2008 大韓韓方內科學會誌 Vol.29 No.1

Background : Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), one of the CC chemokines, appears to play a significant role in asthma pathogenesis. It was reported that polymorphism in the MCP-1(-2518 A/G promoter) was associated with asthma in Caucasians, but the association of this polymorphism and asthma patients in the Korean population has not yet been clarified. Objective : We investigated the possible association between 2 polymorphisms (-2518 A/G promoter and Cys35Cys) and asthma patients in a Korean population. Materials and Methods : DNA samples were obtained from 86 Korean asthma patients and 270 healthy controls. MCP-1 genomic variants (-2518 A/G promoter and Cys35Cys polymorphism) were detected by PCR-RFLP. Level of MCP-1 was measured by ELISA for each genotype (n=8) (AA, AG, GG) and allele types of -2518 A/G promoter polymorphism for control subjects. Results : The Cys35Cys polymorphism was associated with asthma patients in Korean population [genotype distribution ($X^{2}=16.011$, P<0.001)]. Comparison of the two groups revealed no detectable differences in genotype and allele frequencies of the -2518 A/G polymorphism. Haplotype frequencies analysis revealed significant difference $(X^{2}=51.70$, P<0.001). MCP-1 serum level of subjects with G genotype of -2518 A/G promoter polymorphism was statistically higher than that with AA genotype (P<0.05). Conclusion : Our data indicate that no association exists between the MCP-1 -2518 A/G polymorphism and asthma susceptibility in the Korean population. However, it is noteworthy that the high prevalence of the -2518 G allele in the Korean population suggests a potentially important ethnic variation in the regulation of MCP-1 production. This variation must be considered in gene-association studies in different ethnic populations.

이재학(Jae Hak Lee),최영민(Young Min Choi),최진(Jin Choe),황도영(Do Yeong Hwang),이진용(Jin Yong Lee) 대한산부인과학회 1999 Obstetrics & Gynecology Science Vol.42 No.12

본 연구는 서로 연관이 없는 45명의 정상 한국인들(23명의 여성 및 22명의 남성)과 혈우병 B 환자 가계의 모친과 부친 13명을 대상으로 PCR을 이용하여 혈액응고인자 IX 유전자의 Hhal 부위 및 Msel 부위의 DNA polymorphism 양상을 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과 Hhal 부위인 경우 25.5%의 다형성 정보제공율, Msel 부위의 경우 49.7%의 다형성 정보제공율을 보였다. 결론적으로 이 결과는 한국인 혈우병 B 환자의 분자유전학적 진단에 있어 Hhal 부위 및 Msel 부위 DNA polymorphism 양상 분석이 유용함을 의미한다 Objectives: Hemophilia B has been known to result from more than 500 kinds of mutations. And it is difficult to find out a mutation specific for each family. Therefore, linkage analysis of DNA polymorphism within or near the factor IX gene has been frequently used in the clinical practice for molecular genetic diagnosis of hemophilia B. But the ethnic variation makes more difficult to apply useful markers in Caucasian population. To investigate the usefulness of the MseI and HhaI polymorphism in Korean population, we analysed the MseI and HhaI polymorphism. Methods: Forty-five normal Korean and thirteen parents of the hemophilia B patients, using PCR and restriction enzyme analysis.Results: The heterozygosity rate of MseI polymorphism was 49.7% and that of HhaI polymorphism was 25.5%. Conclusion: These data indicated that PCR-based analysis of MseI and HhaI polymorphism of factor IX was useful in molecular genetic diagnosis of hemophilia B in Korean population.

목적: 본 연구는 한국인 임신 여성에서 MTHFR 유전자형 변이와 혈청내 호모시스테인 및 엽산의 농도와 이들이 임신에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 임신부 600명에게서 혈액을 채취하여 얻어진 DNA로 MTHFR C677T와 A1298C 유전자의 다형성을 PCR-RELP로 분석하였고 혈청내 호모시스테인은 HPLC 방법으로, 엽산은 RIA 방법으로 측정하였다. 결과: 혈청내 호모시스테인은 MTHFR C677T 유전자형이 C/C형이나 C/T인 군에 비해 T/T인 군에서 유의하게 높았으며 MTHFR A1298C 유전자형이 A/C형이나 C/C인 군에 비해 A/A인 군에서 역시 유의하게 높았다( p<0.05). 혈청 호모시스테인은 모든 MTHFR 유전자형에서 혈청 엽산농도와 역상관관계를 보였으나, 변이형 유전자형(T/T와 A/A유전자형)에서 더 큰 역 상관관계를 보였다. 15?mol/L 이상의 고호모시스테인혈증의 임신부에서 임신 주수와 출생체중이 36.1주, 3053.8 g으로 15 ?mol/L미만인 군의 38.3 주, 3215.3 g 보다 유의하게 낮았다( p<0.05). 결론: 혈청 호모시스테인의 농도는 MTHFR C677T와 A1298T 유전자의 다형성에 의해 영향을 받으며, MTHFR C677T와 A1298T 유전자의 다형성과 혈청 호모시스테인은 모두 임신주수와 신생아의 체중에 영향을 미친다. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze MTHFR polymorphism among the Korean population and to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of homocysteine and MTHFR polymorphism and also to investigate the effect on pregnancy outcomes. Methods: DNA was extracted from whole blood of 600 pregnant women. All samples were genotyped for the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in MTHFR gene by PCR-RELP assay. Serum levels of homocysteine and folate were measured by high performance liquid chromatography for homocysteine and radioassay for folate. Pregnancy outcomes were estimated by gestational weeks and birth weights of newborns. Results: Serum homocysteine was higher in women with the T/T genotype than those with the C/T or C/C genotype of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism (p<0.05). And also serum homocysteine was higher in women with the A/A genotype than those with the A/C or C/C genotype of the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism (p<0.05). Serum homocysteine was negatively correlated with serum folate in all MTHFR genotypes, especially prominent in T/T genotype of MTHFR C677T polymorphism and A/A genotype of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism. Gestational age and the birth weight of infant from hyperhomocysteinemic mothers whose homocysteine levels higher than 15 μmol/L were 36.1 weeks, 3053.8 g, respectively, which were significant lower than those from normohomocysteinemic mothers (38.3 weeks, 3,215.3 g) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Serum homocysteine was influenced significantly by MTHFR C677T polymorphism and MTHFR A1298C polymorphism. MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphism and serum homocysteine levels affect pregnancy outcomes, although not mainly by serum folate level.
