Objective To investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3) gene in the pathogenesis and progression of kashin-beck disease (KBD) in children.Methods Serum of 35 KBD cases (case group) and 84 healthy children (control group) was collected and genomic DNA was obtained.Eight SNPs in MMP-3 genotypes were grouped using Sequenom assARRAY RS1000.The frequencies of alleles and genotypes were compared between two groups.Three genetic models ( dominant, recessive and additive) were evaluated using unconditional Logistic regression analysis.Results The allele frequency of rs679620 was significantly different between two groups (χ2 =4.18,P<0.05) .Two SNPs loci of rs679620 and rs591058 were found to be significantly associated with KBD in children (χ2 value was 9.43 and 6.65, respectively, both P<0.05).And the genotype T/T in rs679620 and T/T in rs591058 showed an association with an increased risk of KBD in the recessive model [OR (95% CI) was 5.05 (1.98-12.91) and 3.68 (1.40-9.67), respectively]. Conclusion MMP-3 plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of KBD in children.The genotypes T/T in rs679620 and T/T in rs591058 are significantly associated with high risk of KBD in children.%目的:探讨基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP-3)基因多态性在儿童大骨节病(KBD)发病中的作用。方法收集35例KBD患儿(病例组)和84例健康儿童(对照组)全血并提取全血基因组DNA,应用Sequenom assARRAY RS1000分型技术对MMP-3上8个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)位点进行基因分型,比较病例组与对照组等位基因和基因型的分布差异,用非条件Logistics回归模型衡量各等位基因在3种遗传模型(显性、隐形和加和模型)下的效益。结果 rs679620等位基因在两组儿童中分布有显著性差异(χ2=4.18,P<0.05),2个SNP位点rs679620、rs591058与KBD显著相关(χ2值分别为9.43和6.65,均P<0.05)。在隐性遗传模式下,rs679620基因型T/T和rs591058基因型T/T与儿童KBD的高风险相关联,OR(95%CI)分别为5.05(1.98~12.91)、3.68(1.40~9.67)。结论 MMP-3在儿童KBD发病中起重要作用,rs679620基因型T/T和rs591058基因型T/T与儿童KBD易感性有关。
