Vascular endothelial growth factor A polymorphisms are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis.


ABSTRACT: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common complex disease resulting from the interaction of multiple environmental and genetic factors. To assess the potential relationship of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) rs699947 C>A, rs3025039 C>T and rs2010963 G>C polymorphisms with CHD risk, a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted. A systematic search of EMBASE and PubMed online database for publications on VEGFA polymorphisms and risk of CHD was carried out. Crude Odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the association. A total of ten publications including 22 trails involving 2097 cases and 2867 controls were included in our pooled analysis. Overall, results of the present meta-analysis demonstrated a significant association between VEGFA rs699947 C>A polymorphism and an increased risk of CHD. After stratifying by ethnicity and CHD type, the association was also obtained. A significant association between VEGFA rs3025039 C>T polymorphism and risk of CHD was also found. For VEGFA rs2010963 G>C polymorphism, the polymorphism was associated with MI risk. In conclusion, our findings suggest that VEGFA rs699947 C>A, rs3025039 C>T and rs2010963 G>C polymorphisms are risk factors for CHD. In the future, large sample size and well-designed epidemiologic studies are needed to confirm these conclusions.
