Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between glutamate receptor-6 (GIuR6/GRIK2) gene polymorphism and domestic violence in Xinjiang Uygur population on alcoholics. Methods The methods of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technique were conducted to detect rs6922753 and rs2227283 single nucleotide polymorphism of GLUR6 gene in a 104 domestic violence perpetrators on alcoholics and 80 non-domestic violence perpetrators on alcoholics. The association between the polymorphisms and violent behavior was analyzed with SPSS 17.0. Results The frequency of allele (χ2=4.935) and genotype (χ2=7.622) of rs6922753 polymorphisms in the domestic violence group were statistically different from those in the non-domestic violence group (P 0.05). Conclusions GIuR6 gene polymorphism may be associated with domestic violence in Xinjiang Uygur population on alcoholics. Key words: UYGUR NATIONALITY; Alcohol-related disorders/CO/GE; Domestic violence; Receptors, glutamate/GE
