FOXP3 Promoter polymorphism (-3499 A/G) is not associated with osteoarthritis in a Turkish population

Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to find out whether FOXP3 promoter region -3499A/G polymorhism was associated with osteoarthiritis in a Turkish population.

Method: The study group consists of 50 patients in 3rd stage and 100 patients in 4th stage osteoarthiritis and control group consists of 150 healthy individuals. FOXP3 genotypes were examined by PCR-RFLP method.

Results: Our results show that there is no statisticially significant association between osteoarthiritis and FOXP3 -3499A/G polymorphism. The wild type AA genotype was 63%, polymorphic AG was 31% and GG was 6% in the control group, while they were 56%, 37% and 7% in the study group respectively.

Conclusions: Osteoarthiritis was seen higher in women than that of men in our study which is compatible with the results of previous results.
