Type II deiodinase polymorphisms and serum thyroid hormone levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment

M. Luo, Zhou, X. H., Zou, T., Keyim, K., and Dong, L. M., Type II deiodinase polymorphisms and serum thyroid hormone levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment, vol. 14, pp. 5407-5416, 2015.

We investigated type II deiodinase (DIO2) polymorphisms and serum thyroid hormone levels in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a Uygur population. We studied the DIO2 Thr92Ala (rs225014) and ORFa-Gly3Asp (rs12885300) polymorphisms of 129 unrelated MCI cases and 131 matched controls. All subjects were genotyped using SNaPshot SNP genotyping assays. Serum thyroid hormone levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Levels of serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine in the MCI group were significantly lower than those in the control group.

KIR gene polymorphism study in the Uygur population in Xinjiang, China

G. - Y. Lin and Wang, Y. - B., KIR gene polymorphism study in the Uygur population in Xinjiang, China, vol. 13, pp. 1813-1822, 2014.

We analyzed killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene polymorphisms and genotype and haplotype characteristics in the Uygur population, a non-nomadic ethnic group found in Xinjiang, China, to provide a basis for studies on relationships between KIRs and diseases in this group. Sequence-specific primer PCR was used to detect the KIR gene in 84 Uygur individuals. A standard genotype and haplotype analysis was conducted using Hsu’s standards. Sixteen KIR genes were detected; the 3DL3, 2DL4, 3DL2 genes were found in all individuals.

Relationship between the acylation-stimulating protein gene and coronary heart disease in the Xinjiang Uygur and Han populations of China

Y. Chen, Ma, Y. T., Yang, S. J., Yang, Y. N., Fu, Z. Y., Xie, X., Li, X. M., and Zheng, Y. Y., Relationship between the acylation-stimulating protein gene and coronary heart disease in the Xinjiang Uygur and Han populations of China, vol. 13, pp. 2638-2644, 2014.

The association of the single nucleotide polymorphism 301T>C in the coding region of the acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) gene with coronary heart disease (CHD) was investigated in the Uygur (385 CHD patients and 483 control subjects) and Han (390 CHD patients and 439 control subjects) populations of China.

Epidemiological analysis of dyslipidemia in adults of three ethnicities in Xinjiang, China

S. X. Guo, Ma, R. L., Guo, H., Ding, Y. S., Liu, J. M., Zhang, M., Zhang, J. Y., Xu, S. Z., Li, S. G., Rui, D. S., Niu, Q., and Li, Y. P., Epidemiological analysis of dyslipidemia in adults of three ethnicities in Xinjiang, China, vol. 13, pp. 2385-2393, 2014.

This study investigated the prevalence and distribution of dyslipidemia in adults of Uygur, Kazak, and Han ethnicity in Xinjiang, China. A questionnaire including general data, physical examination (blood pressure, body height, and body weight) and blood lipid [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] was administered to 11,506 adults in Xinjiang, China from 2009 to 2010 using a stratified sampling method.
