Genetic association of polymorphism rs2230054 in CXCR2 gene with gout in Chinese Han male population.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are crucial in the process of gout flare and remission. The signal transduction pathway of chemokine plays a vital role in the chemotaxis and activation of neutrophils. CXCR2 gene knocked out can avoid the acute neutrophilic inflammation stimulated by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in mice. To investigate the relationship among CXCR1 rs2234671, CXCR2 rs1126579, and rs2230054 polymorphisms with gout arthritis flare in the Chinese Han male population, a case-control study was carried out in 412 gout patients and 508 gout-free individuals. TaqMan probes fluorescence real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to genotype CXCR1 rs2234671, CXCR2 rs1126579, and rs2230054 SNPs. There was a clear link between CXCR2 rs2230054 T included genotypic and T allelic frequencies and go
