Chromosome 9p21 haplotypes and prognosis in white and black patients with coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT: Although numerous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chromosome 9p21 have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and incident myocardial infarction (MI) in whites, there are limited and conflicting reports on the association of this locus with prognosis in whites with existing CAD and no reports in blacks or Hispanics. We investigated the hypothesis that 9p21 polymorphisms are associated with increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with documented CAD.We studied the association of 155 chromosome 9p21 SNPs with adverse outcomes among hypertension patients with CAD of multiple races/ethnicities in INVEST-GENES (the International Verapamil SR Trandolapril Study Genetic Substudy) (n=1460 and n=5979 for 2 SNPs) with replication testing of 4 SNPs in the INFORM (Investigation of Outcomes From Acute Coronary Syndrome) study (n=714) of patients with acute coronary syndromes. In INVEST, the haplotype comprising the risk allele for the widely reported 9p21 SNPs was associated with better prognosis in whites (odds ratio [OR], 0.72; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.92; P=0.0085) but not in blacks (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.68 to 1.24; P=0.52) or Hispanics (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.44; P=0.86). A less commonly reported linkage disequilibrium block was associated with worse prognosis in INVEST in both whites (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.20 to 1.93; P=0.0006) and blacks (OR, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.55 to 10.88; P=0.004).Our findings suggest that previously reported chromosome 9p21 SNPs, which predict incident CAD, are not associated with higher risk for adverse outcomes in patients with established CAD. The less commonly reported linkage disequilibrium block warrants further investigation. Clinical Trial Registration- URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00133692.

Project description:BackgroundWe investigated whether 9p21 polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular events in a group of 611 patients enrolled in the Medical, Angioplasty or Surgery Study II (MASS II), a randomized trial comparing treatments for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and preserved left ventricular function.MethodsThe participants of the MASS II were genotyped for 9p21 polymorphisms (rs10757274, rs2383206, rs10757278 and rs1333049). Survival curves were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank statistic. We assessed the relationship between baseline variables and the composite end-point of death, death from cardiac causes and myocardial infarction using a Cox proportional hazards survival model.ResultsWe observed significant differences between patients within each polymorphism genotype group for baseline characteristics. The frequency of diabetes was lower in patients carrying GG genotype for rs10757274, rs2383206 and rs10757278 (29.4%, 32.8%, 32.0%) compared to patients carrying AA or AG genotypes (49.1% and 39.2%, p = 0.01; 52.4% and 40.1%, p = 0.01; 47.8% and 37.9%, p = 0.04; respectively). Significant differences in genotype frequencies between double and triple vessel disease patients were observed for the rs10757274, rs10757278 and rs1333049. Finally, there was a higher incidence of overall mortality in patients with the GG genotype for rs2383206 compared to patients with AA and AG genotypes (19.5%, 11.9%, 11.0%, respectively; p = 0.04). Moreover, the rs2383206 was still significantly associated with a 1.75-fold increased risk of overall mortality (p = 0.02) even after adjustment of a Cox multivariate model for age, previous myocardial infarction, diabetes, smoking and type of coronary anatomy.ConclusionsOur data are in accordance to previous evidence that chromosome 9p21 genetic variation may constitute a genetic modulator in the cardiovascular system in different scenarios. In patients with established CAD, we observed an association between the rs2383206 and higher incidence of overall mortality and death from cardiac causes in patients with multi-vessel CAD.
