Abstract

It is known that the contribution of risk alleles to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may vary between populations. Further, previous studies involving various ethnic groups have revealed associations between COPD and genetic polymorphisms in families with sequence similarity 13, member A (FAM13A), micro-RNA 2054 (MIR2054), SET domain containing protein 7 (SETD7), ring finger protein 150 (RNF150), hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Our objective was to explore the association between these gene polymorphism and COPD in members of Chinese Li minority population. The Chinese Li population case-control study was conducted to assess genetic associations with COPD risk. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on chromosome 4, including FAM13A, MIR2054, SETD7, RNF150, and HHIP, and nine SNPs in the VEGFA gene were genotyped among 234 cases and 240 controls using Sequenom Mass-ARRAY(®) platform. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis was performed using Haploview software and the associations of the SNP frequencies with COPD were analyzed using chi-square (χ (2)) tests, genetic models analysis, and haplotype analysis. By χ (2) we found the minor allele "G" of rs17050782 was with increased COPD risk in allele model. In genetic models, we found the minor allele of rs7671167 (P=0.028 by dominant model) and rs17050782 (P=0.008 by recessive model) was associated with the increased risk of COPD disease. Likewise, an increased risk of developing COPD was associated with the "GGCGC" haplotype of VEGFA (odds ratio =1.48, 95% confidence interval =1.02-2.12, P=0.037). Our results were the first time to reveal that SNPs from FAM13A (rs7671167), SETD7 (rs17050782), and a haplotype of VEGFA ("GGCGC") are potential susceptibility loci associated with increased COPD risk in Chinese Li minority population.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 September 2023.
All research outputs
#7,046,566
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
#793
of 2,577 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#75,554
of 277,585 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
#17
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,577 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 277,585 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
