title: [CX3CR1 polymorphism in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the association between CX3CR1 gene polymorphism and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
  
  
  METHODS
  Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs3732378 (V249I) and rs3732379(T280M) in CX3CR1 gene were determined using PCR-RFLP. The frequencies of genotype and allele of these two SNPs were compared between 211 DCM patients and 211 normal controls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The genotype distribution of these two SNPs had no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium either in DCM patients or in the controls. No significant difference was found in the frequencies of genotype and allele in rs3732378 and rs3732379 between the DCM patients and the controls.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CX3CR1 gene polymorphism is not associated with DCM.
