| TextSentencer_T1 |
0-91 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Interleukin-18 gene promoter--607 A/C polymorphism and the risk of immune thrombocytopenia. |
| TextSentencer_T2 |
92-209 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a T helper 1 cytokine, which is postulated to play a role in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
210-323 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The aim of this study was to determine whether IL-18 promoter gene -607 A/C polymorphism was associated with ITP. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
324-424 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Three-hundred and fifty-four Chinese ITP patients and 300 Chinese healthy individuals were enrolled. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
425-477 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
478-634 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to genotype the DNA samples for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-607. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
635-738 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Allelic and genotypic frequencies were compared between the case-control groups by the chi-square test. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
739-950 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The results showed that the frequencies of the CC, CA and AA genotypes and C and A allele were 32.4, 47.8, 19.8, 56.4 and 43.6% in ITP patients and 32.3, 50.4, 17.3, 57.5 and 42.5% in the controls, respectively. |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
951-1069 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There was no significant difference in either genotypes or allelic distribution between ITP patients and the controls. |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
1070-1348 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Furthermore, stratified analysis by the platelet count, age and disease course including ITP with severe thrombocytopenia (sITP), non-sITP, acute adult, chronic adult, acute childhood and chronic childhood revealed no significant difference in genotype and alleles distribution. |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
1349-1451 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In conclusion, this polymorphism was almost equally distributed between ITP patients and the controls. |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
1452-1572 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These data showed that this SNP may not be used as a stratification marker to predict the susceptibility to Chinese ITP. |
