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.
