Aims: To test the genetic association of NR3C1 gene which encodes the glucocorticoid receptor with infantile spasms (IS). Main methods: Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the NR3C1 gene were genotyped in a sample set of 128 cases and 131 controls. Association analysis was performed on the genotyped data. Key findings: Two SNPs, rs10482672 and rs2963155, showed nominal associations with IS (P = 0.018, OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.11-3.22, for rs10482672; P = 0.04. OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.03-2.81 for rs2963155) under the assumption of a dominant model. The haplotype TG of two SNPs (rs6877893 and rs4912905) was associated with a decreased risk of IS (P = 0.038, OR = 0.66,95% CI = 0.45-0.98), whereas haplotype TC being homozygous was associated with an increased risk of IS (P = 0.015, OR = 2.60,95% CI = 1.20-5.60). The rs6866893 was also associated with the responsiveness of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Significance: The current experimental results suggest the importance of the NR3C1 gene polymorphism for genetic susceptibility to IS in a Chinese population. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
