    Abstract:

    Objective:To analyze the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of solute carrier family 22 member4 (SLC22A4) and runt-related transcription factor 1(RUNX1) gene with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis(AS) in Chinese Han ethnicity. Methods: Case-control studies were conducted with an RA cohort (104 RA patients and 109 healthy subjects) and an AS cohort (278 AS patients and 417 healthy controls). Three SNPs of SLC22A4 gene and an SNP of RUNX1 gene were genotyped by direct sequencing; we also assessed whether these alleles and genotypes were associated with RA and AS. Results: No significant differences in the distribution of the alleles and genotypes of SLC22A4 and RUNX1 polymorphisms were found between patients with RA and AS and healthy controls. Conclusion: Our results suggest that SLC22A4 and RUNX1 polymorphisms analyzed in the present study are not the susceptible genes for RA and AS in Chinese Han ethnicity.
