A bioinformatics strategy for detecting the complexity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Northern Chinese Han Population

Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a complex human disease which is driven not only by genetic factors, but also by various environmental variables, such as gender, age and smoking. Therefore, there is a demand for investigating the complexity among various risk factors involved in COPD. In this study, 44 tagging SNPs from EPHX1, GSTP1, SERPINE2 and TGFB1 were selected and genotyped in 310 COPD cases and 203 controls, all of which belong to the Han from North China. We integrated functional predic… Show more

“…Illumina VeraCode technology on a BeadXpress platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) was used to perform SNP genotyping. Forty-four tagging SNPs (minor allele frequency >0.05) were genotyped to identify common variants of the four genes (EPHX1, GSTP1, SERPINE2, and TGFB1) under pair-wise mode with an r 2 threshold of 0.8 Hua et al, 2012). In this analysis, we focused on two SNPs (EPHX1 T337C and EPHX1 A416G) to explore whether the genetic variations in EPHX1 are associated with COPD in Chinese Han population.…”
