Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between surfactant protein B (SFTPB) C1580T polymorphism and acute bronchiolitis.
Materials and Methods: The study analyzed the allele frequency and genotype distribution for the SFTPB C1580T polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique in 103 acute bronchiolitis infants and 102 healthy infants.
Results: The results showed no association between SFTPB C1580T polymorphism and clinical characteristics of acute bronchiolitis. The distribution of the CT genotype was higher in acute bronchiolitis infants (43%) than in healthy subjects (39%) and distribution of the TT genotype was found lower in acute bronchiolitis infants (38%) than in healthy subjects (41%). No significant differences in genotype distribution and allele frequency for the SFTPB C1580T polymorphism were found between case group and control group
Conclusion: SFTPB C1580T gene polymorphism plays no important role in susceptibility to acute bronchiolitis. Further work on the relevance of SFTPB C1580T polymorphism in larger cohorts will require validating our results.

Bebeklerde akut bronşiolit ve surfaktan protein B gen lokusu arasındaki ilişki

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızda surfaktan protein B (SFTPB) C1580T polimorfizmi ile akut bronşiolit arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu- restriksiyon parça uzunluk polimorfizmi (PZR-RFLP) tekniği kullanılarak 103 akut bronşiolitli bebekte ve 102 sağlıklı bebekte SFTB C1580T gen polimorfizminin alel sıklığı ve genotip dağılımı analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Bu sonuçlar SFTPB C1580T polimorfizmi ve akut bronşiolitin klinik özellikleri arasında bir ilişki olmadığını gösterdi. CT genotipinin dağılımı akut bronşiolitli bebeklerde (%43) kontol grubuna (%39) göre daha yüksektir ve TT genotipinin dağılımı akut bronşiolitli bebeklerde (%38) kontol grubuna (%41) göre daha düşüktür. Hasta ve kontrol grubu arasında SFTPB C1580T polimorfizmi için genotip dağılımı ve allel sıklığında önemli bir fark yoktur.
Sonuç: SFTPB C1580T gen polimorfizminin akut bronşiolite yatkınlıkta önemli bir rolü olmadığı saptanmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarımızın doğrulanabilmesi için SFTPB C1580T polimorfizminin ilişkisinin ileri ve daha büyük kohort çalışmaları yapılarak değerlendirilmesine ihtiyaç vardır.
