Polymorphisms in the PPARγ gene and their association with metabolic syndrome in Uyghurs and Kazakhs from Xinjiang, China

J. Chen, Ma, R. L., Guo, H., Ding, Y. S., Zhang, J. Y., Liu, J. M., Kerm, M., Zhang, M., Xu, S. Z., Li, S. G., and Guo, S. X., “Polymorphisms in the PPARγ gene and their association with metabolic syndrome in Uyghurs and Kazakhs from Xinjiang, China”, vol. 14, pp. 6279-6288, 2015.

We investigated the association between polymorphisms rs1801282 and rs3856806 of the PPARγ gene and metabolic syndrome (MS) among Uyghurs and Kazakhs. Mass spectrometry techniques were used to detect the PPARγ genotypes rs1801282 and rs3856806 in 987 subjects, CC genotype and C allele frequencies were 83.6 and 91.7%, respectively, at rs1801282 in Kazakhs, which were higher than those in Uyghurs (72.3 and 85.0%, respectively; P

Gender flip-flop association between genetic variations of NEDD4L and metabolic syndrome in the Kazakh general population

H. M. Wang, Li, N. F., Hong, J., Zhou, L., and Chang, J. H., “Gender flip-flop association between genetic variations of NEDD4L and metabolic syndrome in the Kazakh general population”, vol. 13, pp. 22-31, 2014.

Genetic variation is thought to contribute to etiology of metabolic syndrome (MS). Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like gene (NEDD4L) is a candidate gene for MS. This study investigated the relationship between variations of NEDD4L and MS in the Kazakh, which is an ideal population to study the genetic mechanisms of complex diseases such as MS. We screened the promoter and exons of NEDD4L in 48 Kazakh individuals with MS to identify representative variations.

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.

Analysis of the haplotype and linkage disequilibrium of PPARγ gene polymorphisms rs3856806, rs12490265, rs1797912, and rs1175543 among patients with metabolic syndrome in Kazakh of Xinjiang Province

S. X. Guo, Guo, H., Ma, R. L., Ding, Y. S., Zhang, J. Y., Liu, J. M., Zhang, M., Niu, Q., Qiang, N., Li, S. G., and Qi, C. N., “Analysis of the haplotype and linkage disequilibrium of PPARγ gene polymorphisms rs3856806, rs12490265, rs1797912, and rs1175543 among patients with metabolic syndrome in Kazakh of Xinjiang Province”, vol. 13, pp. 8686-8694, 2014.

We investigated the relationship between haplotype and linkage disequilibrium of the PPARγ gene polymorphisms rs3856806, rs12490265, rs1797912, and rs1175543 and metabolic syndrome (MS) in the Kazakh people of Xinjiang Province. For PPARγ, rs3856806, rs12490265, rs1797912, and rs1175543 genotypes were detected in 489 subjects (including 245 MS patients and 244 controls) using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
