Association between polymorphism and haplotype of ATP2B1 gene and skeletal fluorosis in Han population.

To evaluate the association between ATP2B1 gene polymorphisms and skeletal fluorosis, a cross-sectional study was conducted. In China, 962 individuals were recruited, including 342 cases of skeletal fluorosis. Four TP2BA1… Click to show full abstract

To evaluate the association between ATP2B1 gene polymorphisms and skeletal fluorosis, a cross-sectional study was conducted. In China, 962 individuals were recruited, including 342 cases of skeletal fluorosis. Four TP2BA1 polymorphisms (rs2070759, rs12817819, rs17249754, and rs7136259) were analysed. The results suggested that rs17249754 and rs7136259 were associated with skeletal fluorosis. After controlling confounders, the protective effect of GG genotype in rs17249754 was apparent in individuals over 45 years old, female, with urine fluoride concentration below 1.6 mg/L, serum calcium above 2.25 mmol/L or serum phosphorus between 1.1 and 1.3. Heterozygote TC in rs7136259 increased the risk of skeletal fluorosis in subjects who are elderly, female, with urinary fluoride more than 1.6 mg/L, serum calcium more than 2.25 mmol/L and blood phosphorus between 1.1 and 1.3 mmol/L. Four loci were found to be tightly related by linkage disequilibrium analysis, and the frequency of distribution of haplotype GCGT was lower in the skeletal fluorosis group.
