Abstract
Aim
Study investigated the association of the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene polymorphism with Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) risk.
Methods
A case-control study of 78 SCH patients SCH and 75 controls. Genomic DNA extracted from the blood, and the rs2175977 SNP in the Exon 8 of the TPO gene was genotyped through the PCR and Subsequent RFLP by SgrBI digestion. Statistics assessed genotype frequencies, allelic distributions, and associations with biochemical parameters.
Results
The GG genotype was significantly more in controls compared to SCH patients (p = 0.0039), while GC and CC genotypes were more prevalent in SCH. The C allele was significantly associated with increased SCH risk (p = 0.0006; OR = 0.3887). The GC and CC variant had significantly higher levels of Anti-TPO antibodies (p = 0.0429).
Conclusion
A TPO gene polymorphism, has been linked to increased risk of SCH and an elevated level of anti-TPO antibodies, indicating thyroid autoimmune disorder.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
