摘要
目的探讨谷胱甘肽转移酶μ(glutathioneS-transferaseμ,GSTμ)基因缺失与老年性白内障发病的关系。方法采用多聚酶链反应(polymerasechainreaction,PCR)方法,对59例老年性白内障患者及112例健康对照者进行GSTμ基因检测。结果老年性白内障患者GSTμ基因缺失率达69.5%,明显高于对照组的50.9%(P<0.05)。按吸烟与否分析表明,吸烟的白内障患者GSTμ基因缺失率有高于对照组的趋势。由于本研究样本量较小,吸烟的白内障患者GSTμ基因缺失率虽达到72.4%,但与对照组比较差异无显著性(P>0.05)。结论老年性白内障的发病与GSTμ基因缺失密切相关,该基因缺失可能是个体易患白内障的遗传因素之一。
