Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the vascular structures of the retina and choroid in Chinese Han and Uygur populations with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) using swept-source OCTA (SS-OCTA). METHODS Fifty-three eyes of 53 healthy volunteers (25 from Hans and 28 from Uygurs) and 40 eyes of 40 PDR patients (20 from Hans and 20 from Uygurs) were included. Retinal and choroidal parameters, including thickness, vessel flow density (VFD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, choroidal vascularity volume and index (CVV and CVI) were evaluated. RESULTS Compared with the respective controls, superficial capillary plexus (SCP)-VFD and deep capillary plexus (DCP)-VFD, the areas of FAZ in SCP and DCP were significantly decreased in both Han and Uygur PDR patients. choroidal parameters analysis found that Uygur controls had substantially higher choroidal thickness (CT) than Han controls (p = 0.020) and PDR eyes showed significantly decreased CT. Both races with PDR exhibited significantly reduced choriocapillaris layer-VFD, large and medium choroidal vessel (LMCV) layer-VFD, CVV and CVI, however, Uygur PDR patients had significant lower LMCV layer-VFD, CVV and CVI compared to Han PDR patients. Diabetes duration was the most significant factor affecting CVV and CVI. CONCLUSION Both Han and Uygur PDR patients had significantly lower CT and decreased vessel densities compared to controls, but the Uygur PDR patients had more severe choroidal damage than Han PDR patients, which is most likely related to worse visual prognosis. These findings indicate that more frequent screenings and prompt therapy are urgent for Uygur PDR patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing. T2DM is associated with alterations of the gut microbiota, which can be affected by age, illness, and genetics. Previous studies revealed that there are discriminating microbiota compositions between the Dai and the Han populations. However, the specific gut microbiota differences between the two populations have not been elucidated. AIM To compare the gut microbiota differences in subjects with and without T2DM in the Dai and Han populations. METHODS A total of 35 subjects of the Han population (including 15 healthy children, 8 adult healthy controls, and 12 adult T2DM patients) and 32 subjects of the Dai population (including 10 healthy children, 10 adult healthy controls, and 12 adult T2DM patients) were enrolled in this study. Fasting venous blood samples were collected from all the subjects for biochemical analysis. Fecal samples were collected from all the subjects for DNA extraction and 16S rRNA sequencing, which was followed by analyses of the gut microbiota composition. RESULTS No significant difference in alpha diversity was observed between healthy children and adults. The diversity of gut microbiota was decreased in T2DM patients compared to the healthy adults in both the Dai and Han populations. There was a significant difference in gut microbiota between healthy children and healthy adults in the Han population with an increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and decreased Firmicutes in children. However, this difference was less in the Dai population. Significant increases in Bacteroidetes in the Han population and Proteobacteria in the Dai population and decreases in Firmicutes in both the Han and Dai population were observed in T2DM patients compared to healthy adults. Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size analysis also showed that the gut microbiota was different between the Han and Dai populations in heathy children, adults, and T2DM patients. Four bacteria were consistently increased and two consistently decreased in the Han population compared to the Dai population. CONCLUSION Differences in gut microbiota were found between the Han and Dai populations. A significant increase in Bacteroidetes was related to the occurrence of T2DM in the Han population, while a significant increase in Proteobacteria was related to the occurrence of T2DM in the Dai population.

Abstract
Objective Blood-blister aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are challenging lesions with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although research on BBAs is well documented in different populations, the study of BBAs in the Tibetan population is extremely rare. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of BBAs and analyze the treatment modalities and long-term outcomes in the Tibetan population in comparison with the Han population. Methods The characteristics of patients with BBAs of the ICA from January 2009 to January 2021 at our institution were reviewed. The features of aneurysms, treatment modalities, complications, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 130 patients (41 Tibetan and 89 Han patients) with BBAs of the ICA who underwent treatment were enrolled. Compared with the Han group, the Tibetan group significantly demonstrated a high ratio of BBAs among ICAs (8.6%, 41/477 vs. 1.6%, 89/5563; p<0.05), a high ratio of vasospasm (34.1%, 14/41 vs. 6.7%, 6/89; p=0.001), a high risk of ischemic events (43.9%, 18/41 vs. 22.5%, 20/89; p<0.05), and a low ratio of good outcomes (modified Rankin Scale, 0-2) at the 1-year follow-up (51.2%, 21/41 vs. 74.2%, 66/89; p<0.05). The multivariate regression model showed that ischemic events significantly contributed to the prediction of outcomes at 1 year. Further analysis revealed that microsurgery and vasospasm were associated with ischemic events. Conclusion In comparison with Han patients, the Tibetan population had a high ratio of BBA occurrence, a high incidence of ischemic events, and a high ratio of poor outcomes. The endovascular approach showed more benefits in BBA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the reliability and accuracy of Walker's model for estimating the sex of Han adults in western China by using cranium three-dimensional (3D) CT reconstruction, and to study the suitable cranial sex estimation model for Han people in western China. METHODS A total of 576 cranial CT 3D reconstructed images from Hanzhong Hospital in Shaanxi Province from 2017 to 2021 were collected. These images were divided into the experimental group with 486 samples and the validation group with 90 samples. Walker's model was used by observer 1 to estimate the sex of experimental group samples. The logistic function applicable to Han people in western China was corrected by observer 1. The 90 samples in the validation group were scored and substituted into the modified logistic function to complete the back substitution test by observer 1, 2 and 3. RESULTS The accuracy of sex estimation of Han adults in western China was 63.2%-77.2% by applying Walker's model. The accuracy of modified logistic function was 82.9%. The accuracy of sex estimation through back substitution test by 3 observers was 75.6%-91.1%, with a Kappa value of 0.689 (P<0.05) for inter-observer consistency and 0.874 (P<0.05) for intra-observer consistency. CONCLUSIONS There are great differences in bone characteristics among people from different regions. The modified logistic function can achieve higher accuracy in Han adults in western China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) are a useful supplementary approach to analysing autosomal markers in forensics and kinship studies; such markers are not well-characterised in many populations. AIM To investigate population genetic polymorphism and forensic characterisation of 16 X-STRs in the Jining Han population, and analyse genetic relationships with other Chinese populations. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Allele frequencies for 16 X-STR loci were obtained from a sample set of 527 unrelated individuals from the Jining Han population. Population genetic analyses of Jining Han and another 10 reference populations were conducted using phylogenetic tree, principal component analysis and multidimensional scaling. RESULTS We detected 149 alleles, with frequencies ranging from 0.0013 to 0.8242. The combined powers of discrimination in males and females were 0.999999997194774 and 0.999999999999995, respectively. The combined mean exclusion change (MEC)Krüger, MECKishida, MECDesmarais, and MECDesmarais Duos values were 0.999974632649096, 0.999999976997582, 0.999999977013201, and 0.999993755768423, respectively. We detected relatively high genetic homogeneity in populations with similar ethnic or geographic origins, and a close relationship between the Jining Han and Beijing Han populations. CONCLUSIONS The present findings indicate that the 16 X-STR loci examined are highly polymorphic in the Han population of Jining, providing useful information for forensic science and population genetics studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly polymorphic autosomal STR loci are useful for understanding population structure better and for forensic application, however the non-CODIS STR loci in the Han population of Shandong, located in Northern China, are not well-characterised. AIM To investigate population genetic polymorphism and forensic efficiency of 21 autosomal STR loci from the Shandong Han population in Northern China and reveal the genetic relationships with other populations both at home and abroad. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this study, population genetic data of 21 autosomal STR loci included in the Goldeneye DNA ID 22NC Kit that includes four CODIS loci and 17 non-CODIS loci were determined for 523 unrelated Han individuals in Shandong. RESULTS Significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were not observed. A total of 233 alleles were detected with allele frequencies ranging from 0.0010 to 0.3728. The combined power of discrimination was 0.99999999999999999999999990011134, and the combined power of exclusion was 0.99999999788131. Furthermore, in an analysis of population differentiation Nei's standard genetic distance and multidimensional scaling analysis, which were conducted based on the overlapping 15 STR loci, revealed that the Shandong Han population was most closely related to populations in close geographic proximity. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the 21 autosomal STR loci included in the GoldeneyeTM DNA ID 22NC system are highly polymorphic and suitable for forensic identification and paternity testing in the Shandong Han population. Additionally, the present results enrich the population genetic database.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few animal experiments and volunteer-based intervention studies have showed a controversial effect of spicy foods on abdominal obesity. We aimed to examine the association between spicy food frequency, spicy flavor, and abdominal obesity among Chinese Han population in the Sichuan Basin which area eating spicy foods relatively often. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using the Sichuan Basin baseline data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study, including data from electronic questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and blood sample collection. A total of 40,877 adults (22,503 females) aged 30-79 years were included in the final analysis. Multivariable logistic regression yielded adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for abdominal obesity associated with the strength of spicy flavor and frequency of spicy food intake. RESULTS The prevalence of daily spicy food eating was 47.3% in males and 52.7% in females, the percentages of abdominal obesity were 52.3%, 48.8%, 51.6% and 55.5% in the spicy food intake subgroups of never, 1-2 days/week, 3-5 days/week and 6-7 days/week, respectively. Compared with males who never consumed spicy food, the adjusted ORs (95% CIs) in the 1-2 days/week, 3-5 days/week and 6-7 days/week subgroups were 1.21 (1.09, 1.34), 1.35 (1.21, 1.51), and 1.35 (1.25, 1.47), respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). The corresponding odds ratios for females were 0.95 (0.87, 1.05), 1.14 (1.03, 1.26), and 1.25 (1.16, 1.35), respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). Similarly, compared with no spicy flavor, the adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of mild, middle, and strong spicy strength for abdominal obesity in males were 1.27 (1.17, 1.38), 1.51 (1.37, 1.67), and 1.36 (1.11, 1.67) respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). The corresponding odds ratios for females were 1.14 (1.06, 1.23), 1.27 (1.15, 1.40), and 1.32 (1.06, 1.65), respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The data indicated that spicy food consumption was a risk factor for abdominal obesity among Chinese adult population in the Sichuan Basin. The results need to be approved by large cohort studies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze SLCO1B1 and APOE polymorphisms and their clinical significance in the Mongolian and Han populations in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Methods: Mongolian patients (n = 200) with cardiovascular disease admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the Mongolian population group. Han patients (n = 200) with cardiovascular diseases admitted during the same period were selected as the Han population group. Mutations in SLCO1B1 and APOE were detected by real-time fluorescence qPCR, and the differences between the two groups were analyzed. Results: The nucleotide polymorphisms of SLCO1B1 and APOE in the Mongolian and Han populations were consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg law. There were significant differences in gender, age, BMI, hypertension, alcohol consumption, dyslipidemia and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between the two groups. APOE genotypes were classified according to those related to the efficacy of statins and the risk of atherosclerosis, and there was a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: There were differences in SLCO1B1 and APOE polymorphisms between the Mongolian and Han populations in Ordos. These may explain the differences in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the lipid-lowering efficacy of statins between the two populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short tandem repeats (STRs) are consecutive repetition of a repeat motif and widely used in forensic medicine and human genetics because of their high polymorphism. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In the current study, 23 autosomal STR loci were genotyped from 1263 unrelated healthy individuals living in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, Northeastern China using the VeriFilerTM Express PCR Amplification Kit. The population comparison was performed between the Panjin Han population and the other relevant groups to further explore the structure of Panjin Han and its relationship with the other groups. RESULTS The results found 316 alleles across the 23 STRs and the corresponding allelic frequencies ranged from 0.5198 to 0.0004. Except for D3S1358, TPOX, TH01, and D3S1358, all STR loci were highly polymorphic (PIC > 0.7), with the Penta E locus having the highest degree of polymorphism (0.9147). For population comparison, the exact test of population differentiation found that no significant difference was observed between the Panjin Han and the other Han populations, except for Guangdong Han and Jiangxi Han. CONCLUSION The Panjin Han population showed significant differences with the other ethnic groups in China (Bouyei, Dong, Hui, Miao, Tibetan, and Uygur) and the foreign ethnic groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of demographic factors, clinical factors, and genetic polymorphisms of related gene loci on warfarin bleeding-related complications in the Han population. METHODS Retrospective medical record review. The study cases were patients treated at the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from March 2016 to February 2020, and all received regular warfarin anticoagulation treatment for at least 3 months, and were provided the initial standard dose and stable dose of warfarin. RESULTS Data were collected from 451 qualifying patients (47% male, 53% female). The average age of patients was 53.8 ± 12.2 years, and the average body surface area was 1.6 ± 0.18 m2. There were nine major bleeding events and 141 minor bleeding events. In the univariate logistic analysis, the p-value of the four factors body weight, body surface area (BSA), amiodarone, and rs429358 was < 0.10. However, the final p-values for amiodarone and rs429358 were < 0.05 in the multifactorial logistic analysis. CONCLUSIONS The ApoE (rs429358) gene polymorphism influences bleeding complications in Chinese Han patients treated with warfarin. The sample size of this study was relatively small; hence an international study with a larger sample size is needed in the future.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is an important growth factor involved in changes in the bronchial microvascular and airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression. What is the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VEGFA with the risk of COPD in the Chinese Han and Mongolian populations? What is the main finding and its importance? The effect of five SNPs in the VEGFA gene was analysed and compared between the Chinese Han and Mongolian populations. A contribution of risk alleles rs833068, rs833070 and rs3024997 to COPD was detected in the Chinese Mongolian population only. The study provided data from different populations to validate the role of VEGFA polymorphisms in COPD and provided reliable SNPs to predict the risk of COPD. ABSTRACT We attempted to define the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) gene and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Chinese Han and Mongolian cohorts. Five SNPs were genotyped in cohorts of 684 COPD patients (350 Mongolian and 334 Han) and 784 healthy controls (350 Mongolian and 434 Han) using SNPscan multiplex PCR. SNP frequencies, genetic models and haplotypes were analysed using the chi-square test. The associations of SNPs with COPD and linkage disequilibrium were analysed using logistic regression and HaploView, respectively. We found that only rs833068G>A, rs833070T>C and rs3024997G>A were significantly associated with the risk of COPD in the Mongolian population (rs833068: P < 0.001, rs833070: P < 0.001, rs3024997: P = 0.002). In the analysis of genotype distributions, the A/A and G/A genotypes in rs833068 (A/A: odds ratio (OR) = 0.313, P < 0.001; G/A: OR = 0.724, P < 0.001) and rs3024997 (A/A: OR = 0.513, P = 0.008; G/A: OR = 0.671, P = 0.008) and the C/C and T/C genotypes in rs833070 (C/C: OR = 0.435, P = 0.007; T/C: OR = 0.593, P = 0.007) were associated with protection against COPD in the Mongolian population. The haplotype frequencies of GCCAT and GTCGC were significantly different between the patients and controls (GCCAT: P = 0.001; GTCGC: P < 0.001) in the Mongolian population. Our findings indicate that five SNPs in the VEGFA gene play divergent roles in the Han and Mongolian populations. rs833068A, rs833070C and rs3024997A were observed to be associated with the risk of COPD in the Mongolian population.

Abstract
Background Our study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of refractive error (RE) in Han and Tibetan population aged 50–79 years in Xining and surrounding areas in Qinghai Province on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Methods As part of the China National Health Survey, our cross-sectional study compared the age-adjusted prevalence of RE in Han and Tibetan older adults aged 50–79 years in Xining and surrounding areas. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors for myopia and hyperopia. Results Among 769 Han participants and 476 Tibetan participants, the age-adjusted prevalence of myopia (spherical equivalent (SE) < − 0.5D), hyperopia (SE > + 0.5D), high myopia (SE < -6.0D) and astigmatism (cylindrical equivalent > = 0.5D) is 28.56, 22.82, 2.80, and 69.38%. Han participants have higher age-adjusted prevalence of myopia (32.93% vs 21.64%, p < 0.001), high myopia (3.93% vs 1.02%, p = 0.001) and astigmatism (72.14% vs 64.94%, p = 0.021) compared to Tibetan participants. Being Tibetan is the protective factor of myopia compared to being Han (OR 0.58, 95%CI 0.42–0.79, p < 0.001). Older age (p = 0.032), longer time length in rural area (p = 0.048), undergraduate/graduate education level (p = 0.031), lighter active level (p = 0.007) and lower BMI (p = 0.015) are risk factors for myopia. Older age (all p < 0.001) and pterygium status of the same eye (p = 0.013) also increase the hyperopia risk. Conclusions Our study found an overall prevalence of myopia of 28.56% in Xining and surrounding areas in adults older than 50 years. Han population has higher myopia risk than Tibetan population. More medical and social resources should be allocated to improve the vision and life quality of older adults.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the role of chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) gene polymorphisms in peri-implantitis susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Patients and Methods A total of 260 individuals were included in this study, including 127 peri-implantitis patients and 133 healthy implants. CXCR2 gene rs2230054 and rs1126580 polymorphisms in different groups were analyzed by the Chi-square test. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were employed to evaluate the association between CXCR2 polymorphism and peri-implantitis susceptibility. Results The CT genotype of rs2230054 and the AG genotype and G allele of rs1126580 significantly increased in peri-implantitis patients compared with healthy implants (P < 0.05). The CT genotype of rs2230054 (OR = 1.825, 95% CI = 1.028–3.239) and the AG genotype of rs1126580 (OR = 2.223, 95% CI 1.272–3.885) carriers had a high risk to infect with peri-implantitis. Additionally, these CXCR2 gene polymorphisms have been revealed to be associated with the periodontal status of peri-implantitis patients. Conclusion The CXCR2 gene rs2230054 and rs1126580 polymorphisms were associated with the peri-implantitis susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. The CT genotype of rs2230054 and the AG genotype and G allele of rs1126580 serve as risk factors for the occurrence of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP1 and ERAP2) genes are associated with the pathogenesis of bacterial and viral infections. To search for the variations in the ERAP1 and ERAP2 genes associated with tuberculosis (TB), 449 TB cases and 435 healthy individuals of the Han population in the Yunnan province of China were included in the present study. Eleven SNPs of ERAPs were genotyped using the SNaPshot SNP assay. Allelic, genotypic, and haplotypic association analyses were performed between the TB and control groups. Furthermore, stratification analyses among pulmonary TB (PTB), extrapulmonary TB (EPTB), and healthy controls; and initial treatment TB (ITTB), retreatment TB (RTB), and healthy controls were also performed. The TT genotype of rs26618 in ERAP1 exhibited a protective factor for TB, compared with the role of the CC/CT genotype (P = 0.003; OR = 1.490, 95% CI: 1.140-1.940). In ERAP2, the frequency of the G allele of rs2549782 was higher in the case group than in the control group (0.491 vs. 0.417, P = 0.002, OR = 1.350, 95% CI: 1.118-1.631), and the TT genotype exhibited a protective factor for TB, compared with the role of the GG/GT genotype (P = 0.001; OR = 1.650, 95% CI: 1.230-2.220). The frequency of the C allele of rs1056893 was higher in the case group than in the control group (0.468 vs. 0.394, P = 0.002, OR = 1.350, 95% CI: 1.118-1.631), and the genotype exhibited a difference in the log-additive model (P = 0.002; OR = 1.350, 95% CI: 1.120-1.630). The frequencies of the haplotype rs27037-rs27044-s30187-rs26618-rs26653-rs3734016-GCCCGC in ERAP1 (0.290 vs. 0.240, P-adj = 0.028, OR = 1.320, 95% CI: 1.063-1.638) and the haplotypes rs2549782-rs2248374-rs2287988-rs1056893-GTAGC in ERAP2 (0.446 vs. 0.348, P-adj = 4.80E-05, OR = 1.510, 95% CI: 1.246-1.829) was higher in the TB groups, while the frequencies of the haplotypes rs2549782-rs2248374-rs2287988-rs1056893-TAGAT (0.478 vs. 0.539, P-adj = 0.020, OR = 0.782, 95% CI: 0.649-0.943) were lower in the TB groups. The allelic and genotypic associations were also investigated in the subsequent stratification between the PTB, EPTB and control groups as well as between the ITTB, RTB, and control groups. In conclusion, variations in ERAP1 and ERAP2 genes were identified to be associated with TB in the Han Chinese population.

Abstract
Chinese newborns have been screened for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) for over 20 years. Although China features 56 different ethnic groups, there are no specific data describing the incidence of such genetic errors across difference ethnicities. To understand the ethnic preference distribution of the incidence and variants of IEM in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, 189,354 newborns from 2016 to 2019 were screened by tandem mass spectrometry, including 87,482 from the Han ethnic population, 88,229 from the Hui population, 1,103 from other ethnicities, and 12,540 infants without ethnic registration. Suspected cases then underwent specific genetic profiling by targeted next generation sequencing. In total, 160 patients were diagnosed with 17 types of IEM, with a significant higher incidence in Hui infants (1/1,003) than in Han infants (1/1,232). Five diseases (eight patients) were specifically detected in Han infants, while three were exclusively diagnosed in six Hui infants. For shared diseases, the variants of keys genes also showed ethnic preference. Our findings enhance our understanding of the genetics underlying IEM, thus promoting the development of treatment plans for patients from different areas or ethnicities in China.

Abstract
Genetic markers on the Y chromosome, including short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs), are used widely in forensic genetics. Both Y-STR-based haplotypes and Y-SNP-based haplogroups provide information on a population's genetic structure, which is useful for the identification of individuals. However, there are few studies on these two types of genetic markers in the various Chinese populations. In this study, 284 Han individuals from four prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province (Binzhou, Dezhou, Heze, and Weihai) were genotyped by 29 Y-STRs (from our previous study) and 213 Y-SNPs (self-designed for the Haplogroup O2 Y-SNP panel). Haplogroup O was the most predominant among the four cities. The highest haplogroup diversity (0.9745) was observed in the Heze population, with a discrimination capacity (DC) value of 0.5625. The haplotype diversity and DC values of the Binzhou and Heze populations were 1.0000. Furthermore, genetic differences were observed between the coastal and inland cities; the results of their statistical analysis are presented herein.

Abstract
COVID‐19 is a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus and is currently a global pandemic. HLA variation is associated with COVID‐19 because HLA plays a pivotal role in the immune response to pathogens. Here, 82 individuals with COVID‐19 were genotyped for HLA‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐DRB1, ‐DRB3/4/5, ‐DQA1, ‐DQB1, ‐DPA1, and ‐DPB1 loci using next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Frequencies of the HLA‐C*07:29, C*08:01G, B*15:27, B*40:06, DRB1*04:06, and DPB1*36:01 alleles were higher, while the frequencies of the DRB1*12:02 and DPB1*04:01 alleles were lower in COVID‐19 patients than in the control population, with uncorrected statistical significance. Only HLA‐C*07:29 and B*15:27 were significant when the corrected P‐value was considered. These data suggested that some HLA alleles may be associated with the occurrence of COVID‐19.

Abstract
Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to be associated with ischemic stroke (IS); however, their involvement still needs to be extensively explored. Therefore, we aimed to study the expression profile of lncRNAs and the potential roles and mechanisms of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the Southern Chinese Han population. Methods: In this study, lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in AIS were analyzed using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and network analyses were performed to predict the functions and interactions of the aberrantly expressed genes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of lncRNAs in AIS. Results: RNA-Seq analysis showed that 428 lncRNAs and 957 mRNAs were significantly upregulated, while 791 lncRNAs and 4,263 mRNAs were downregulated in patients with AIS when compared with healthy controls. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes showed that the apoptosis, inflammatory, oxidative and calcium signaling pathways were potentially implicated in AIS pathology. The PCR results showed that the selected lncRNA-C14orf64 and lncRNA-AC136007.2 were significantly downregulated in AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of lncRNA-C14orf64 and lncRNA-AC136007.2 between AIS and healthy controls were 0.74 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of altered expression of lncRNAs and their potential functions in AIS. Our findings may facilitate pathological mechanistic studies of lncRNAs in AIS and provide potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AIS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is meaningful to expand the available population information on forensic medicine and to investigate the genetic characteristics of Han population from Jilin Province, Northeast China. METHODS In this study, we investigated the genetic characteristics of 24 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci in 1,088 unrelated Chinese Han male individuals from Jilin Province, using DNATyperTM Y24 amplification kit. Additionally, we performed the population comparison between the Jilin population and the other nine reported populations based on the Y-STR genotyping haplotypes. RESULTS A total of 1,067 different haplotypes were found from 1,088 unrelated individuals, of which 1,046 were unique and 21 were shared by two individuals. The gene diversity values of 22 loci ranged from 0.3870 (DYS391) to 0.9668 (DYS385ab). The random match probability was 0.0010 with the discrimination capacity of 0.9807. Population comparison showed that there were minor differences compared to Beijing Chinese Han, China Manchu, Gansu Chinese Han, and Jiangsu Chinese Han, but major differences with respect to the populations of Guangdong Chinese Han, Yunnan Chinese Han, China Hui, China Korean, and China Tibetan. CONCLUSION Our results showed that the 24 Y-STR loci in Jilin Han population are valuable for forensic application and human genetics.

Abstract
PURPOSE China harbors 56 ethnic groups and Han accounts for >92% of the total Chinese population. We investigated the frequencies of 15 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci in the Han population of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture with the aim of expanding the available population information in human genetics databases and for forensic DNA analysis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We explored the genetic characteristics of 15 autosomal STR loci in 552 unrelated Chinese Han individuals from Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Northwestern China using the AmpFISTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis was performed between the Han population and other relevant populations based on the autosomal STR genotyping. The neighbor-joining tree and principle component analysis were generated based on the Nei's standard genetic distance and allelic frequencies, respectively. RESULTS A total of 171 alleles were observed among 552 unrelated individuals and allelic frequencies ranged from 0.5145 to 0.0009. The combined power of discrimination and combined power of exclusion of the 15 autosomal STR loci were 0.9999999999999999964 and 0.999998243616671, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Population comparison revealed that the Ili Han population were lining up together with other Han populations in China while showing significant differences from other Chinese and worldwide populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 18 autosomal short tandem repeats (STR) loci in Changsha Han population, and explore the population genetic relationships and evaluate its application value in forensic medicine. METHODS The DNA of 2 004 unrelated individuals in Changsha Han population were amplified using Goldeneye®DNA ID System BASIC, and the PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis using 3130xl genetic analyzer. The fragment sizes of alleles were analyzed subsequently by GeneMapper® ID v3.2. The frequency data and forensic genetic parameters [observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), power of discrimination (DP) and polymorphic information content (PIC)] of 18 STR loci were statistically analyzed. Total probability of discrimination (TDP), probability of exclusion in trio cases (PEtrio) and probability of exclusion in duo cases (PEduo) were calculated by Cervus 3.0. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium of the loci were detected by Arlequin v3.5. The results were compared with the available data of other populations from different races and regions. RESULTS The power of discrimination (DP), and the polymorphic information content (PIC) of each locus of Changsha Han population ranged from 0.783 6 to 0.987 9 and 0.549 4 to 0.914 5, respectively. The TDP, cumulative probability of exclusion in trio cases (CPEtrio) and cumulative probability of exclusion in duo cases (CPEduo) were 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 865 2, 0.999 999 979 and 0.999 988 325, respectively. According to the Nei's DA genetic distance, the genetic distance between Changsha Han and Hunan Han populations was the smallest (0.014 1), while it was the largest (0.041 8) between Changsha Han and Xinjiang Kazakh populations. CONCLUSIONS The 18 STR loci shows abundant genetic polymorphisms in Changsha Han population. The study of genetic diversity among different populations has an important meaning for the research of their origins, migrations and their relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to establish reference intervals for 24-h urinary stone risk factors in the healthy Chinese Han population. METHODS From May 2013 to July 2014, we collected and analyzed 24-h urine samples from healthy adult Han population during a cross-sectional study across China. The protocol for analysis of 24-h urine included volume, pH, oxalate, citrate, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorous, creatinine, urate, magnesium, the ion activity products of calcium oxalate (AP(CaOx) indexs) and calcium phosphate (AP(CaP) indexs). We calculated the reference intervals according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2008 guidelines and compared them with those recorded in other studies. RESULTS A total of 132 male and 123 female healthy subjects with a mean (SD, range) age of 52.4 (15.2, 19-89) years were eligible in the final analysis. Men had higher 24-h excretion of creatinine, calcium, urate and phosphorus and lower levels of citrate, magnesium, chloride, sodium and potassium than women. AP(CaOx) indexs and AP(CaP) indexs were significantly higher among men than women. When urinary findings were compared with the reference intervals, most of our data showed a high abnormality rate, especially for creatinine, calcium, citrate, magnesium, chloride, sodium and potassium. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed the normal metabolic status for stone risk factors of the Chinese Han population. It is therefore necessary for each country or region to define their own reference intervals for comparison of stone risk factors between patients and healthy subjects.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the Demirjian method and the Demirjian method as revised by Willems for age estimation based on orthopantomograms from central southern Chinese Han population aged 8-16 years. Discrepancies between chronological and estimated ages were statistically evaluated by analyzing 1249 orthopantomograms from 603 girls and 646 boys. Using the Demirjian method, the mean age estimates underestimated chronological age by 0.03 years (p = 0.48) for girls and overestimated it by 0.03 years (p = 0.59) for boys; these differences with respect to chronological age were not statistically significant. In contrast, the Willems method underestimated chronological age by 0.54 years (p < 0.01) for girls and 0.44 years (p < 0.01) for boys; these differences with respect to chronological age were statistically significant. Compared to the Demirjian method, the overall mean absolute error generated using the Willems method was slightly higher (0.85 and 0.86 years, respectively). Since the Demirjian method was more accurate, we highly recommend that it should be applied when estimating dental age in the Chinese Han population. Further modifications of these two methods for populations from other regions and additional studies of other age groups are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the genetic polymorphisms of 19 autosomal STR loci in Han population of east, middle-northwest and southwest-south Shandong and to explore its genetic relationships among the population of these three regions. METHODS STR loci of 1 044 unrelated Han individuals in three Shandong regions were typed with a Goldeneye® DNA ID System 20A kit. The allele frequency and population genetics parameters of 19 autosomal STR loci were statistically analysed by Modified-Powerstates software. The genetic distances among the population in three regions were calculated by Arlequin v3.5 software. The phylogenetic tree was conducted using MEGA v4.0 software. RESULTS Fifteen of 19 autosomal STR loci were detected with the H values greater than 0.7, PIC values greater than 0.7, and DP values greater than 0.9 in the populations of all three Shandong regions. Among the populations in these three regions, the genetic distance between the populations in middle-northwest and southwest-south Shandong was closest (Fst=0.000 16), followed by east and southwest-south Shandong (Fst=0.0003 6). The genetic distance between the populations in east and middle-northwest Shandong was the farthest (Fst=0.000 66, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The 19 autosomal STR loci show good genetic polymorphisms in Han population of three Shandong regions, and 15 of them are high. There are genetic differences between the populations in east and middle-northwest Shandong.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) has been suggested as modifying risk for atherosclerosis. Promoter region genetic polymorphism of IL-10 gene is known to be associated with the level of IL-10 production. Through these effects, they might be involved with the ischemic stroke (IS). Our aim was to assess the nature of the functional polymorphisms in IL-10 promoter and any links with IS in Chinese Han population. METHODS The IL-10 -1082 G>A, -819 C>T and -592 C>A functional polymorphisms were determined by TaqMan SNP Genotyping assays in 1296 subjects (648 IS patients diagnosed by CTs or/and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 648 normal healthy controls from Chinese Han Population). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to show the association between the IL-10 genotypes and the IS events. RESULTS We found that the CC genotype of -819 C>T was more common in controls than IS subjects (P<0.05, corrected for multiple testing) in the Han population. CC carriage may be associated with the decreased risk of IS in the Han ethnic group (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.43-0.97). In addition, the CC genotype in -592 C>A and GG genotype in -1082 G>A are all extremely low in Chinese Han cases and controls. CONCLUSIONS The G allele frequency at the -1082 promoter region of IL-10 was rare in Chinese Han population which are diffierent from American/European populations.. IL-10 -819 C>T may be an independent protective factor for IS in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that expression levels of different alleles at the same HLA class I locus can vary dramatically, which might have a broad influence on human disease. However, precise quantification of the relative expression level of each HLA allele is challenging, because distinguishing different alleles on the same locus is difficult. Here, we developed a series of allele-specific, real-time polymerase chain reaction assays for quantifying HLA class I allele mRNA in most Han individuals. The alleles of almost all heterozygous genotypes with a frequency higher than 0.5% in our population (78 alleles on HLA-A locus, 124 alleles on HLA-B locus, and 74 alleles on HLA-C locus) were specifically amplified. The specificity of the amplification was strictly validated by setting the corresponding negative control for each allele of each genotype. The amplification efficiency of each reaction was determined, and the slopes of the reactions were compared. This study provides a tool for detecting the comprehensive expression profile of HLA class I alleles and will be useful not only for the investigation of the molecular mechanism underlying HLA allele expression regulation but also for exploration of immunological mechanisms involving HLA expression in the fields of tumour immune evasion, viral infection, auto-immune disorders, and graft vs host disease after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the allelic distribution of 19 autosomal STR loci in Guizhou Han population, and to estimate the forensic application value. METHODS The 19 autosomal STR loci in 520 unrelated healthy individuals from Guizhou Han population were studied using Goldeneye™ 20A kit. The 310 genetic analyzer was used for capillary electrophoresis, and the GeneMapper®ID v3.1 for genotyping. RESULTS The heterozygosis, the discrimination power, the probability of exclusion, the polymorphism information content, the cumulative discrimination power and the cumulative probability of exclusion of the 19 STR loci were 0.603 8-0.916 4, 0.790 0-0.985 6, 0.295 5-0.826 9, 0.553 5-0.908 9, 1-1.230 0×10⁻²² and 0.999 999 99, respectively. Compared with other five Han populations in pairwise allelic frequencies, Guizhou Han only had significant differences with Shandong Han, Liaoning Han and Shanxi Han. CONCLUSIONS The 19 autosomal STR loci such as D19S433 have a highly genetic polymorphic in Guizhou Han population, which have application values in the researches of population genetics and forensic genetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the genetic phenotypes of Nantong Han population and evaluate the application value of 17 Y-STR loci in Nantong population. METHODS The peripheral blood samples were collected from 343 unrelated Nantong Han males and the genomic DNA were extracted by Chelex-100 method. Genotyping was performed using the AmpFℓSTR Yfiler™ Kit. The results were compared with other 12 Han populations, including Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, Zhejiang (1), Lanzhou, Nanyang, Luzhou, Mudanjiang, Shanxi and Zhejiang (2), and 9 minority populations (Mongol, Xibe, Tibetan in Lhasa, Tibetan in Qinghai, Kazak, Uighur, Manchu, Paiwan in Taiwan and Tujia). RESULTS A total of 327 different haplotypes were found in 17 Y-STR loci in Nantong Han population. The haplotype diversity (HD) was 0.999 7. The Rst value between Nantong Han and other Chinese populations ranged from -0.000 6 to 0.263 5. The multidimensional scaling results showed that Nantong Han population had no significant differences between most of the Han populations, but had significant differences between most of Chinese minority populations. CONCLUSIONS Seventeen Y-STR loci can be a powerful tool for forensic application because of its high polymorphism in Nantong Han population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate dynein, axonemal, heavy chain 1 (DNAH1) gene mutations that may be associated with dysplasia of the sperm fibrous sheath (DFS) and infertility in the Han Chinese population. DESIGN Dysfunction of DNAH1 is known to cause multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), DFS, and infertility. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in DFS subjects and the healthy control subjects. SETTING Not applicable. PATIENT(S) Twenty-one patients of Han ethnicity with primary infertility and diagnosed with asthenozoospermia and MMAF, but without primary ciliary dyskinesia. Fifty healthy men with normal fertility served as control subjects. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Whole-exome sequencing, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing, pedigree analysis, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence assay. INTERVENTIONS(S) None. RESULT(S) A total of 17 mutations in the DNAH1 gene were identified in 12 of the 21 patients. These included one homozygous mutation at the splice site and 16 complex heterozygous mutations at the splice sites and exons. These mutations may cause deletion, replacement of amino acids in the peptide, or introduction of a stop codon in the coding sequence according to bioinformatic prediction. Of note, 52430998CCT>C deletion at exon 73, which may result in c.11726_11727del:p.P3909fs, was found in six patients, which suggests that this mutation may be an etiologic factor for MMAF. Although these DNAH1 gene mutations were found in Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) databases, none were found in the Han healthy control subjects. The expression of DNAH1 protein in the sperm of patient P10, with 52409336C>T in exon 45 and 52430998CCT>C in exon 73 mutations, and patient P12, with 52402755A>G in exon 37 and 52428484G>T in exon 67 mutations, was missing or very weak compared with the sperm of healthy control subjects. The peptide phenotypes of 52409336C>T, 52402755A>G, and 52428484G>T were R2356W, nonsense, and E3544X, respectively. The sperm tails were short or coiled in P10 and P12 compared with healthy control subjects. Pedigree analysis supported the notion that the combination of DNAH1 gene mutations 52430998CCT>C and 52409336C>T and 52428484G>T alone were associated with MMAF. CONCLUSION(S) These DNAH1 gene mutations may be associated with DFS and infertility in the Han population.

Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the association between MMP gene superfamily and alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (alcohol-induced ONFH) risk given its high prevalence, poor therapeutic effect, and serious clinical prognosis. 308 subjects (mean age, 49.47 years; males, 64.0%) who participated in our control group and 300 alcohol-induced ONFH patients (mean age, 43.29 years; males, 99.7%) formed the case group was enrolled to estimate by statistical analysis. We selected 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from MMPs, and performed the chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, t-test and genetic model analyses. From the result, rs243849 which located in MMP2 were 1.355 (1.014-1.811), 1.34 (1.01-1.78) in allele model and log-addictive model, respectively. And the p-value of rs243849 in Cochran-Armitage trend test is 0.044. Unfortunately, the similar results of these SNPs were not observed when adjusted by gender and age. Our study is not enough to supply a positive result to benefit for alcohol-induced ONFH clinical prevention, but guide out a new direction for further experiment.

Abstract
Many symptoms of sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD) can't be completely explained by the lesion of simple typical extrapyramidal circuit between striatum and substantia nigra. Therefore, we investigated the alteration of cortical volume, thickness, surface, and density in the intermediate sPD from the Han population of Mainland China in order to find the new pathological brain regions associated with the complex clinical manifestations of sPD. The cortical volume, thickness, surface and density were examined using the voxel-based cortical morphometry and corticometry on magnetic resonance image (MRI) in 67 intermediate sPD and 35 controls, the multiple adjusted comparisons analysis of all MRI data were employed to assess the relationships between the cortical morphometric alteration in the specific brain regions and sPD. Results showed that a significantly shrunk volume, thinned thickness and enlarged or reduced surface of cortex in some specific brain regions were closely associated with sPD, but all cortical densities were not different. The majority of morphometric alteration of hemisphere cortex was symmetric, but that in the left hemisphere was more significant. The cortical morphometric alterations in the frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital and limbic lobe, cerebellum, caudate, and thalamus were closely related to the clinical neural dysfunction (Clinical manifestations) of sPD. Our data indicated that the deficits of extensive brain regions involved in the development of sPD, resulted in a series of correspondent complex clinical manifestations in the disease.

Abstract
Essential hypertension (EH) is a complex multifactorial condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors; aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) is a key enzyme which involves in the terminal steps of aldosterone synthesis. The result of relationship between C-344T of CYP11B2 polymorphism and EH was controversial. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of C-344T polymorphism with EH in the populations of Tibetan, Dongxiang and Han from northwest of China. A total of 2115 participants aged 18-70 years were enrolled in this study. In total, 1776 blood samples, including 545 Tibetan (305 hypertensive and 240 normotensive), 530 Dongxiang (254 hypertensive and 276 normotensive) and 701 Han (338 hypertensive and 363 normotensive), were analyzed successfully by using Snapshot minisequencing method, 30 samples were also performed by direct sequencing (5 hypertensive and 5 normotensive in each population, respectively). The frequencies of genotype and allele of CYP11B2 (C-344T) were not significantly different between EH group and control group in every ethnic population (p > 0.05). However, in female population of Tibetan, the frequencies of CC and CT genotype and C allele in EH group were higher than in control (p < 0.05) group. The frequencies of CC genotype and C allele in both the normotensive controls and EH patients in Tibetan population were higher than in Dongxiang and Han populations. Our study suggests that there is lack of association between C-344T polymorphism of CYP11B2 gene and EH in Dongxiang and Han populations, whereas the polymorphism was correlated with EH in female population of Tibetan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of diabetes and identify risk factors in the Uyghur and Han population in Xinjiang, China. METHODS A cross-sectional study in urban and rural areas in Xinjiang, including 2863 members of the Uyghur population and 3060 of the Han population aged 20 to 80 years, was conducted from June 2013 to August 2013. Data on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and personal history of diabetes were used to estimate the prevalence of diabetes. Data on demographic characteristics, lifestyle risk factors, and lipid profiles were collected to identify risks factors using the multivariate logistic regression model. RESULTS In urban areas, the age- and gender-standardized prevalence of diabetes was 8.21%, and the age- and gender-standardized prevalence of diabetes was higher in the Uyghur population (10.47%) than in the Han population (7.36%). In rural areas, the age- and gender-standardized prevalence of diabetes was 6.08%, and it did not differ significantly between the Uyghur population (5.71%) and the Han population (6.59%). The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age, obesity, high triglycerides (TG), and hypertension were all associated with an increased risk of diabetes in the Uyghur and Han population. Urban residence and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were associated with an increased risk of diabetes in the Uyghur population. Being an ex-drinker was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and heavy physical activity was associated with a decreased risk of diabetes in the Han population. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that diabetes is more prevalent in the Uyghur population compared with the Han population in urban areas. Strategies aimed at the prevention of diabetes require ethnic targeting.

Abstract
The angiotensin-converting enzyme gene is a candidate gene of stroke. The present study involved 62 healthy volunteers and 148 patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis as confirmed by brain color ultrasound from a Han population in North China, and determined the peripheral blood angiotensin-converting enzyme genotype using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The results showed that the frequencies of the DD genotype and D allele were increased in patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis, but the difference was not statistically significant compared with healthy controls. The findings of this study on the relationship between stroke genes and middle cerebral artery stenosis indicate no significant correlation between the frequencies of the DD genotype and D allele of angiotensin-converting enzyme and middle cerebral artery stenosis in this Han population from North China. In the future, studies will be carried out to investigate correlations between multiple stroke candidate gene synergy and middle cerebral artery stenosis to provide a foundation for the development of gene therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SFTPA1 and SFTPA2 genes encoding pulmonary surfactant protein A (SP-A) with the susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in the Han population in China. METHODS This study included 248 patients with active PTB (case group) and 124 normal individuals (control group). SNPs at loci aa19, aa50, aa62, aa133, and aa219 of SFTPA1, and at loci aa9, aa91, aa140, and aa223 of SFTPA2 were analyzed with PCR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the correlation of age, sex, and SNPs with PTB. RESULTS The frequencies of the G allele at aa91 and T allele at aa140 in SFTPA2 were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (p=0.0002 and p=0.045). The distribution of haplotype CGAAC in SFTPA1 was significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (p=0.025). In SFTPA2, the distributions of haplotypes 1A(6), 1A(10), 1A(9), and 1A(2) were higher (all p<0.05), but the distributions of haplotypes 1A(13), 1A(5), and 1A(12) were lower in the case group than in the control group (all p<0.05). When SFTPA1 and SFTPA2 were combined and analyzed, haplotype 6A(11)-1A(8) was only found in the case group (4.1%, p=0.001 compared with the control group), but the distribution of haplotype CGAAC-1A(0) or 6A(4)-1A(12) was significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (all p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS SNP in SP-A is associated with PTB in the Han population in China. The G allele at aa91, T allele at aa140, and haplotype 6A11-1A8 are risk factors for PTB, but haplotype CGAAC-1A(0) and 6A(4)-1A(12) are protective factors for PTB.

Abstract
Studies investigating possible associations between cytochrome P4501B1 (CYP1B1) polymorphisms and breast cancer risk have been inconsistent. We set out to ascertain whether there might be an association between polymorphisms in exon 2 (codon 119, G→T) and exon 3 (codon 432, G→C) of CYP1B1 and breast cancer in a Chinese Han population in the rural region of Ningxia. Using an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction method and direct DNA sequencing, the presence or absence of the two CYP1B1 polymorphisms was investigated. Genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed in breast cancer cases (n = 152) and healthy age-matched controls (n = 156). The odds ratio (OR) of 119G→T or 432G→C in breast cancer cases and controls was 3.3 (95% CI: 1.28 to 8.28) and 2.8 (95% CI: 1.04 to 7.51), respectively. In addition, the OR for people with both polymorphisms (119T and 432C) was 4.69 (95% CI: 1.97 to 11.19). Our results suggest that certain polymorphisms in the CYP1B1 gene might increase risk for breast cancer among Han Chinese, perhaps because they influence the efficiency of CYP1B1 bio-transformation of oestrogens or pro-carcinogens into DNA-reactive electrophiles that may act as cancer-initiating agents.
