Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the association between PLA2G12A polymorphism and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in North Han Chinesechildren,and to explore whether PLA2G12A is a susceptibility gene for ASD.Methods: A total of 85 ASD children (case group) and 183 healthy children(control group) were enrolled in our case-control study.Four SNPs (rs6533451,rs2285714,rs2285713,and rs11728699) on PLA2G12A gene were selected and the genotype and allele were tested using Sequenom Mass ARRAY System.The SNPStats program was used for analyzing the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test;the differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies of the subjects between two groups were detected; the association between ASD and 4 SNPs was analyzed by genetic models; the Haploview 4.2 software was used to analyze the association between ASD and haplotypes.Results: The distribution of genotypes and alleles of all SNPs sites did not deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both case and control groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences of the genotypic and allelic frequencies of four SNPs sites of the subjects between case and control groups (P>0.05). There were no significant association between ASD and the gene polymorphisms of four SNPs sites under five genetic models (P>0.05).The haplotypes composed by rs251684,rs2307279,and rs156631 sites were not significantly associated with ASD (P>0.05).Conclusion: PLA2G12A may not be a candidate gene for ASD in North Han Chinese children.
