Complement C3 gene polymorphisms are associated with lipid levels, but not the risk of coronary artery disease: a case-control study.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Previous studies have shown that complement component 3 (C3) is associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS:We conducted this study to evaluate the associations between tagSNPs in the C3 gene locus and the CAD susceptibility and lipid levels in the Chinese population. A hospital-based case-control study, including 1017 subjects (580 CAD patients and 437 non-CAD controls), was conducted. TagSNPs in the C3 gene were searched and genotyped by using the polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction method. RESULTS:The C3 levels were positively associated with the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (r?=?0.269, P?=?0.001). Compared with those in controls, the serum C3 levels in CAD patients were significantly higher (Control: 0.94?+?0.14?g/l; CAD: 1.10?+?0.19?g/l, P??0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The results revealed that C3 gene polymorphisms were associated with the lipid levels, but not CAD susceptibility in the Chinese population.
