| Abstract | PURPOSE: To determine the allele frequency of three codon-changing variants (CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, and CYP2C8*4) in the Han, Uighur, Hui, and Mongolian Chinese populations, and compare genetic polymorphism differences between the Han and minority Chinese ethnicities. METHODS: Five hundred seventy four healthy unrelated volunteers from four major nationalities (Han: 136; Uighur: 153; Hui: 158; Mongolian: 127) in China were recruited. The study was approved by the local research ethics committee. DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes using a standard protocol. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was developed to detect three alleles of CYP2C8. PCR results were confirmed by subsequent direct DNA sequencing. RESULTS: The three minorities showed the CYP2C8 polymorphism with an allele frequency as follows: the allele frequencies of CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, and CYP2C8*4 were 0.33%, 2.94%, and 2.29% in Uighur; 0.39%, 1.57%, and 1.18% in Mongolian, and 0%, 1.58%, and 0.63% in Hui, respectively. For Han, CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, and CYP2C8*4 were absent. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, the current study described polymorphisms of CYP2C8 in Chinese minorities for the first time. The results showed that there were significant ethnic differences in the distribution of CYP2C8 in the Han and three minorities, that is, the Uighur, Hui, and Mongolian Chinese populations. |

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.
