SERPINE1 -844 and -675 polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: Objective To investigate the association between serpin family E member 1 ( SERPINE1) -844 A/G and -675 4G/5G polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a Chinese Han population. Method SERPINE1 -844 A/G and -675 4G/5G polymorphisms were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism sequencing of genomic DNA from patients with COPD and healthy smoking controls. Results Out of 140 patients with COPD and 100 controls, all SERPINE1 -844 and -675 polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Differences in SERPINE1 -675 4G and 5G allele frequencies were statistically significant between the COPD and control groups (odds ratio [OR] 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00, 2.09), but there was no significant between-group difference in
