| Abstract | KIF21B polymorphisms were found associated with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in populations of white European ancestry. We aimed to replicate the association of polymorphisms around KIF21B and AS in a Chinese Han population. This case–control study included 665 patients with AS and 1,042 healthy controls genotyped for seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of KIF21B—rs12118246, rs4915464, rs502658, rs10494829, rs12089839, rs6687260, and rs957957—by TaqMan genotyping assay; statistical analyses involved the use of PLINK. We also estimated the linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes of these SNPs. Two SNPs—rs502658 (allelic p = 0.0002, odds ratio [OR] 0.60, 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI] 0.47–0.76) and rs10494829 (allelic p = 0.003, OR 1.30, 95 % CI 1.12–1.52)—were significantly associated with AS in the Chinese Han population. In addition, a linear regression test showed that they have independent contribution to disease susceptibility. For both SNPs, haplotype AT was strongly associated with AS and increased the risk of the disease (p = 0.045, OR 1.183, 95 % CI 1.004–1.395), and the genotype GC reduced the risk (p = 0.011, OR 0.715, 95 % CI 0.55–0.928). This work identified a significant association of two SNPs in KIF21B and AS in the Chinese Han population. KIF21B may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS in the Chinese population and might be a new therapeutic target for AS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
