Genotyping for the α2 gene was performed to analyze the possible genetic association between DR and the polymorphic variants of the α2 gene. The 3,160 A/G and 3,090 T/C polymorphism of the α2 intron G region were tested. The α2 gene was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis, as previously reported (41), using an MJ Mini™ Gradient Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), followed by BglII and NdeI [New England Biolabs (NEB), Ipswich, MA, USA] restriction enzyme analysis. In brief, the method for the PCR was as follows: 250 ng genomic DNA, 0.5 µM primers (forward, 5′-GAT TTA ACT TTC CCG ACT GCC TTC-3′ and reverse, 5′-CAT AGG TTT TTG GGG AAC AGG TGG-3′), 0.2 mM deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), 1.5 mM MgCl2 and 2.5 units of Taq DNA polymerase (Invitrogen Life Technologies) were combined to form the reaction mixture. The 600-bp segment of intron G encompassing the BglII and NdeI sites was amplified from genomic DNA in a final volume of 25 µl using the following conditions: 2 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 69°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min; 2 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 67°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min; and 30 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 65°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min. The PCR samples (∼1 µg) were digested overnight with BglII and NdeI (NEB) at 37°C in a temperature-controlled water bath (Bio-Rad). The digested amplicons were analyzed by electrophoresis in 2% agarose gels using ethidium bromide (Invitrogen Life Technologies) and a 2UV™ transilluminator (UVP, LLC, Upland, CA, USA).
