- Abstract
The Peptidyl arginine deiminase, type IV ( PADI4) gene has been suggested to have an association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in several populations. But its role in Chinese RA is not clarified. We investigated five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PADI4 as PADI4- 89 (rs11203366), PADI4- 90 (rs11203367), PADI4- 92 (rs874881) PADI4- 94 (rs2240340), and PADI4- 104 (rs1748033) in Chinese Han population. A total of 378 unrelated RA patients and 204 healthy controls were genotyped for the five SNPs. Individual allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies were compared between patients and controls. No significant differences in the frequency of PADI4 alleles, genotypes and haplotypes were observed between the patients and controls except PADI4- 92. These data indicated that PADI4 polymorphisms were unlikely to play an important role in the susceptibility to RA in Chinese Han population.
