Abstract

Purpose: Calcium signaling is essential for immune function, myometrial contractions, and hormone secretion, all of which contribute to preterm birth. In this study, we investigated the associations of 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CACNA1D gene, which encodes the Cav1.3 calcium channel, with the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB).

Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 112 women of sPTB and 1120 term control women. Three CACNA1D SNPs (rs9810888 T/G, rs1045958 C/T, and rs881883 G/A) were genotyped.

Results: The T/G genotype of the CACNA1D rs9810888 SNP was associated with a reduced risk of sPTB (odds ratio: 0.61, 95 % confidence interval: 0.41-0.91, P = 0.01, P_c = 0.03). However, no significant associations were observed for the other 2 SNPs. Haplotype analysis revealed no significant differences between the case and control groups.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the intronic rs9810888 T/G variant of CACNA1D gene protects against sPTB in Taiwanese women.

钙电压门控通道亚基α 1D （CACNA1D）基因多态性与台湾女性自发性早产有关。

目的：钙信号对免疫功能、子宫肌收缩和激素分泌至关重要，所有这些都有助于早产。在这项研究中，我们研究了编码Cav1.3钙通道的CACNA1D基因的3个单核苷酸多态性（snp）与自发性早产（sPTB）风险的关系。方法：采用以医院为基础的病例对照研究，选取112例sPTB妇女和1120例对照组妇女。3个CACNA1D snp （rs9810888 T/G、rs1045958 C/T和rs881883 G/A）进行基因分型。结果：CACNA1D rs9810888 SNP的T/G基因型与sPTB发病风险降低相关（优势比：0.61,95%可信区间：0.41 ~ 0.91,P = 0.01, Pc = 0.03）。然而，其他2个snp没有明显的相关性。单倍型分析显示病例组与对照组之间无显著差异。结论：本研究提示CACNA1D基因rs9810888 T/G内含子变异对台湾女性sPTB具有保护作用。
