ABSTRACT
Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) is an enzyme involved in heme biosynthesis pathway. ALAD is
a polymorphic gene which shows differences in the distribution in different populations and ethnic groups.
The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of three SNP genetic polymorphisms in delta-aminolevulinate
dehydratase gene: G/C (Lys68Asn) in exon 4 (rs 1800435), A/G in intron 3 (rs 8177800) and C/T (Tyr65Tyr) in exon 4 (rs 1139488) in caucasian population of children from Upper and Lower Silesia. In order to genotype identification, the genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood. The interesting fragments of ALAD gene was amplified in PCR (polymerase chain reaction) reaction with appropriate primers and reaction conditions and then the RFLP technique (restriction fragment length polymorphism) was used. The rs 1800435 polymorphism was also analyzed with real-time PCR reaction with TaqMan probes. The frequencies of the alleles and genotypes for rs 1800435 and rs 1139488 were similar to those reported in other European populations. The frequency of minor allel A for 8177800 was twofold higher then in other populations.
