Distribution of HLA-B27 and CYP2D6*4 mutations in the middle Black Sea area (Tokat) of Turkey

Abstract: ABSTRACT. We analyzed distribution of HLA-B27 and CYP2D6*4 mutations in 249 patients from Tokat province in Turkey with symptoms of arthritis, sacroiliac, joint and back pain, using a LightCycler 480 II Real-Time PCR thermal cycler. The Genes-4U was applied for studying HLA-B27 mutation, and the Tib-Molbiol commercial kit was used to examine the CYP2D6*4 mutation. Among the 249 patients, 18.5% had the HLA-B27 mutation. The CYP2D6*4 mutation was found in 22.0% (six homozygotes). Ten patients had both mutations.… Show more

“…In the AS group, our findings in the present study corroborate other studies, which point to a strong association between HLA-B27 and AS [2,8,23,24]. The distribution of HLA-B27 in our sample of AS patients from Vojvodina is similar from that found in populations of Tunisia, (62.0%), Italy (76.0–68.0%) and Turkey (70.0%) [2,21]. In contrast, the HLA-B27 frequency in AS patients from Vojvodina was lower than that reported from different European countries: Spain-Galicia (94.3%), United Kingdom (90.2–94.0%), Norway (north) (93.0%), Finland (93.0%), Hungary (92.7%), Bulgaria (88.0%), Spain (84.4%), Germany (82.0%) and Romania (72.1%) [2].…”

“…The concordance in identical twins is approximately 65.0%. It is currently believed that susceptibility to AS is determined almost entirely by genetic factors, with HLA-B27 comprising about one-third of the genetic component [3,21,22]. …”

“…Within the entire of control group, CYP2D6*4 allele frequency was measured as 0.13 (13.16%). As we compared our results with the study of Aynacıoğlu et al [21], Aydın et al [19], Sahin et al [22], we determined that the frequencies of allele and homozygous mutations were nearly close.…”

“…Carriers of PT 20210A have higher plasma prothrombin concentrations than control subjects with the normal 20210GG polymorphism and have increased risk of venous thrombosis [7]. FVL, PT G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T are commonly used as molecular biomarkers to evaluate the predisposition of DVT [8]. These hereditary thrombophilic risk factors affect the natural anticoagulant mechanisms and activate the coagulation mechanisms because of an imbalance between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors [3].…”
