Abstract

Background

Stroke is an important cause of death and disability worldwide, ranking second in the cause of death, and it is thought to be related to genetic factors. The purpose of our study is to investigate the association between CASZ1, WNT2B and PTPRG single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and stroke risk in the Chinese population.

Methods

We recruited 1418 volunteers, comprised of 710 stroke cases and 708 controls in this study. We used MassARRAY iPLEX GOLD method to genotype the three SNPs on CASZ1, WNT2B and PTPRG. Logistic regression was used to analyse the association between these SNPs and stroke, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were then calculated. What's more, the interactions among SNPs were predicted by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis.

Results

This research demonstrated that CASZ1 rs880315 and PTPRG rs704341 were associated with reduced stroke susceptibility. More precisely, CASZ1 rs880315 was associated with reduced stroke susceptibility in people aged ≤64 years and women. PTPRG rs704341 was associated with reduced stroke susceptibility in people aged >64 years, women, non-smokers and non-drinkers. Conversely, WNT2B rs12037987 was related to elevated stroke susceptibility in people aged >64 years, women and non-smokers. In addition, CASZ1 rs880315, WNT2B rs12037987 and PTPRG rs704341 had a strong redundancy relationship.

Conclusion

Our study concludes that CASZ1 rs880315, WNT2B rs12037987 and PTPRG rs704341 are associated with stroke, and the study provides a basis for assessing genetic variants associated with stroke risk in the Han Chinese population.
