However, genetic and evolutionary mechanisms of indels remain elusive. We establish a comparative genome-transcriptome-alignment approach for a large-scale identification of indels in Monopterus population. Over 2000 indels in 1738 indel genes, including 1-21 bp deletions and 1-15 bp insertions, were detected. Each indel gene had ～1.1 deletions/insertions, and 2-4 alleles in population. Frequencies of deletions were prominently higher than those of insertions on both genome and population levels. Most of the indels led to in frame mutations with multiples of three and majorly occurred in non-domain regions, indicating functional constraint or tolerance of the indels. All indel genes showed higher expression levels than non-indel genes during sex reversal. Slide window analysis of global expression levels in gonads showed a significant positive correlation with indel density in the genome. Moreover, indel genes were evolutionarily conserved and evolved slowly compared to nonindel genes. Notably, population genetic structure of indels revealed divergent evolution of Monopterus population, as bottleneck effect of biogeographic isolation by Taiwan Strait, China.展开更多

The polymorphism of ACE gene in 103 HSPN cases and 100 healthy children was studied by using the polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Its relation to the clinical manifestation, pathological classification and prognosis of HSPN was analyzed accordingly. The results showed that: (1) there was a significantly higher frequency for DD genotype in HSPN children (P<0.01); (2) DD genotype was more frequently seen in HSPN children with gross hematuria and massive proteinuria (P<0.05), while DI genotype was more common in HSPN children group with renal insufficiency (P<0.05); (3) although mesangial proliferative lesion was most frequently observed in 21 biopsied HSPN children, and DD genotype frequency was still higher in children with severe pathology (Class Ⅲ Ⅳ); (4)II genotype was significantly frequent in HSPN children with complete remission in the follow-up of 32 HSPN children. It was concluded that the deletion allele of ACE gene might play a role, at least to some extent, in the occurrence, deterioration and progression in juvenile HSPN.展开更多

Methods: This study enrolled 59 CHD patients and 193 CHD controls from Qinghai Cardiovascular Diseases Vocational Hospital. Blood samples were collected from each of the patient and control groups. The ACE-I/D polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Results: The genotype frequencies of ACE-I/D for II, ID, DD in patients and controls were 0.475, 0.441, 0.085 and 0.430, 0.446, 0.124, respectively. The allelic frequencies of I and D were 0.650, 0.350 and 0.695, 0.305, respectively. The OR of ID, DD and D alleles relative to II for CHD was 1.116(0.604-2.060), 1.619(0.564-4.648) and 1.211(0.777-1.889). There was no significant difference of the genotypic and the allelic frequencies in ACE-I/D polymorphism between the patient and control groups. Conclusion: There is no relation between ACE-I/D polymorphism and CHD in current Qinghai Han Chinese.展开更多
