    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. Genetic factors play important roles in PD risk. rs653765 and rs514049 of ADAM10 were reported to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Caucasian population; however, the association of the two variants with PD in Chinese Han population remains unknown. The present investigation aimed to explore the possible association of ADAM10 variants with PD in Chinese Han population. METHODS: We enrolled 565 PD patients and 518 healthy controls to conduct a case-control study. DNA samples were extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes, and the genotypes were determined by utilization of MassARRAY platform. Plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: We found CC genotype of rs514049 was associated with an increased risk of PD (OR (95% CI) = 3.776 (1.127-11.217), p = 0.018). The C allele frequency of rs514049 was significantly higher in PD group (OR (95% CI) = 1.328 (1.031-1.709), p = 0.028), especially in male subgroup (OR (95% CI) = 1.484 (1.053-2.092), p = 0.024). However, there was no significant difference in the genotype or allele frequencies for rs653765 within the groups. Plasma levels were significantly decreased in PD patients compared with controls (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggested that C allele of rs514049 in ADAM10 may increase the risk of PD in Chinese Han population, especially in males. The decreased plasma levels are probably involved in PD development.
