Association of Nogo-A Gene Polymorphisms with Cerebral Palsy in Southern China: A Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor and postural disorder syndrome caused by the nonprogressive dysfunction of the developing brain. Previous studies strongly indicated that the Nogo-A gene might be related to the pathogenesis of CP. The objective of this research was to explore the relationship between Nogo-A polymorphisms (rs1012603, rs12464595, and rs2864052) and CP in Southern China. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) testing, allele and genotype frequencies analysis, and haplotype association analysis were applied to the genotyping of 592 CP children and 600 controls. The results showed that the allele and genotype frequencies of rs1012603 of CP group were significantly different from the control group. The haplotype "TTGGG" was significantly associated with an increased risk of CP. The
