Abstract
AIMS
The single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs1805874, in the Calbindin1 gene has been associated with Parkinson's disease among the Japanese people, but not among Europeans or Americans. To help clarify these contrasting results, we conducted a case-control study to explore whether such an association exists among the Han Chinese.
METHODS
We used the ligase detection reaction to genotype the rs1805874 SNP in 514 Han Chinese with Parkinson's disease as well as in 475 healthy Han Chinese controls.
RESULTS
We identified a significant association between the A allele of rs1805874 and the risk of Parkinson's disease (OR 1.257, 95% CI 1.036-1.524, p = 0.020). Subgroup analysis revealed a significant association of the A allele with male gender (OR 1.306, 95% CI 1.009-1.691, p = 0.042) and late onset of disease (OR 1.247, 95% CI 1.010-1.540, p = 0.040).
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that the A allele of rs1805874 is associated with risk of Parkinson's disease among the Han Chinese. Our results, combined with previous studies, suggest that rs1805874 is associated with Parkinson's disease in East Asians, but not Caucasians.
