Abstract
Abstract
Background
Iron deficiency contributes for over half of all anaemia cases, especially among women and children. Iron deficiency anaemia remains a serious public health concern worldwide. The aim of this study is to determine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism rs235756 in the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) gene and iron deficiency status.
Results
104 total anaemic samples were selected from Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. ARMS-PCR was performed to genotype the rs235756 SNP in the 104 samples. The genotype distribution of BMP2 rs235756 showed that AG genotypes had the highest frequency 51(86.4%) followed by GG 6(10.2%) and AA 2(3.4%) in IDA group, whereas AG 42(93.3%), AA 2(4.4%) and GG 1(2.2%) were found in the other anaemia group. The minor allele frequency in BMP 2 rs235756 from this study (0.514) was not similar to the East Asian (EAS) population (0.135); however, the allelic frequency showed significant association between these two. The mean of total iron binding capacity level differed significantly between homozygous-dominant AA and AG + GG genotypes (P < 0.05) but no significant difference for the mean of haematological parameter, ferritin and serum iron.
Conclusions
In future clinical settings, this finding can potentially be as a guide in the early prediction for IDA patients through the genetic testing.
