OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of (i) seven SNPs and SNP haplotypes in the phase II conjugating enzyme N-acetyl transferase 2 gene; and (ii) slow acetylator phenotype, with the development of young onset (YO) and late onset (LO) Parkinson's disease (PD) among Indians. METHODS: A total of 267 cases (132 YOPD, age at onset < or =40 years; 135 LOPD, age at onset >40 years) and 324 age and sex matched controls (132 for YOPD and 192 for LOPD) were genotyped for NAT2 SNPs. Allelic, genotypic and haplotypic association was tested by chi2 using a case-control approach. Chi2 test of association of acetylation phenotype (by genotype) with PD was also carried out. RESULTS: Of the seven SNPs genotyped, SNP191 was monomorphic and therefore, not included for analysis. With SNPs 590 and 857 a significant allelic [OR (95% CI) 4.147 (2.28-7.54) for A allele and 2.565 (1.34-4.92) for A allele, respectively] and genotypic [OR (95% CI) 0.27 (0.14-0.52) for GG and 0.35 (0.174-0.712) for GG, respectively] association with YOPD was observed. There was a significant allelic and genotypic association of SNP 282 with LOPD [chi2 = 8.92, P = 0.003 and chi2 = 10.2, P = 0.006, respectively]. There was also a significant association of protective and predisposing haplotypes TCGG and TCAG [OR (95% CI) 0.446 (0.31-0.63) and 3.742 (2.0-6.99), respectively] with YOPD and predisposing haplotype TCGA [OR (95% CI) 3.214 (1.43-7.22)] with LOPD. Slow acetylator phenotype was significantly associated with YOPD [OR (95% CI) 2.32 (1.2-4.48)]. CONCLUSION: Specific SNPs and SNP haplotypes in NAT2 and slow acetylator phenotype are significantly associated with YOPD and to a lesser extent with LOPD among Indians.
