Frequency of single nucleotide platelet receptor gene polymorphism (P2Y12-i744T>C) in coronary artery disease patients among Tamilian population.

ABSTRACT: Several factors contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) activated P2Y12 receptor also plays a key role in platelet activation and aggregation. It has been found that common variation in the P2Y12 gene was associated with increased platelet aggregation resulting in adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Thus, polymorphisms in the ADP receptor P2Y12 may contribute to the development of CAD. This study aims to determine the frequency distribution of platelet receptor polymorphism P2Y12 (i744T>C) in Tamilian population and to predict its possible role in CAD. Three hundred seventy-one subjects were recruited comprising of 221 healthy volunteers and 150 patients with CAD belonging to either sex, aged 18-60 years of Tamilian origin. Genomic DNA was extracted using phenol-chloroform method. Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP (Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism). The C allele frequency of P2Y12 polymorphism in controls and cases was 8.4% and 17.7%, respectively. The TT, TC, and CC genotype frequencies in controls and cases were 83.7%, 15.8%, 0.5% and 66.7%, 31.3%, 2%, respectively. The genotype frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There was a significant association (p < 0.05) between the mutant genotypes of P2Y12 (i744T>C) polymorphism and risk of CAD. The odds ratio was found to be 2.6. The variant allele frequency of P2Y12-i744T>C was significantly different from other populations. There was a significant association between the mutant genotypes of P2Y12 (i744T>C) polymorphism and risk of developing CAD. Thus, the present study will emphasize on the relevance of pharmacogenetic testing of P2Y12 (i744T>C) receptor gene polymorphism in CAD patients.

Project description:AIMS: To investigate the frequency of the single nucleotide polymorphism C3435T in exon 26 of the MDR1 gene in Asians and to determine the functional significance of this SNP with the clinical pharmacokinetics of oral cyclosporin (Neoral) in 10 stable heart transplant patients. METHODS: The MDR1 C3435T polymorphism was investigated in 290 healthy Asian subjects (98 Chinese, 99 Malays and 93 Indians). We also compared the MDR1 polymorphism between the Asian population studied here and the published data on Africans and Caucasians. The clinical relevance of this SNP on oral bioavailability of a known P-gp substrate, cyclosporin, was assessed in 10 stable Chinese heart transplant patients. RESULTS: The homozygous TT genotype was observed in 32%, 28% and 43% of Chinese, Malays and Indians. The homozygous CC genotype was found in 25% of Chinese and Malays compared with 18% of Indians. The Indians had a lower frequency of the C allele [0.38 (0.31-0.45)] compared with the Chinese [0.46 (0.39-0.53)] and Malays [0.48 (0.42-0.55)]. Chi-squared test showed that the distribution of allele frequencies between the Malays and Indians differed significantly (P = 0.04). In this Asian population, the overall distribution of genotypes (CC, CT and TT) and allele frequencies were significantly different from those in Africans (P < 0.001). The results were also significant when the Chinese, Malays and Indians were compared separately with the African group (P < 0.001). Compared with the Caucasian data, the overall distribution of genotype and allele frequencies in the Asian population were also significantly different (P < or = 0.05). However, when each Asian ethnic group was compared separately with the Caucasians, only the Indians were found to be significantly different (P < or = 0.004). Genotypic-phenotypic correlations of this SNP were assessed in 10 stable Chinese heart transplant patients. The median AUC(0,4 h) was 11% lower in patients with CC genotype compared with subjects with TT genotype. However, the interpatient variability in AUC(0,4 h) was high in patients, especially in those with CC genotype. CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of the SNP C3435T in exon 26 in the Chinese and Malay population was found to be similar to the Caucasians whereas the Indians were different. The Asian population also differed significantly from the African and Caucasian population in the distribution of the C3435T SNP. The low frequency of the T allele in the Indian population implies lower expression of P-gp and may have important therapeutic and prognostic implications for use of P-gp dependent drugs in individuals of Indian origin.
