Association of polymorphisms of preptin, irisin and adropin genes with susceptibility to coronary artery disease and hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Preptin, irisin and adropin are 3 new players in energy regulation that are related body mass index, lipids, glucose and insulin levels which may affect incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of preptin genes (rs1003483, rs1004446, rs2239681, rs680, and rs3741204), irisin (rs16835198 and rs3480) and adropin (rs2281997) gene in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension.

Methods

This case-control study was carried out on 372 volunteers, which were divided into 3 subgroups including: CAD patients with hypertension (CAD+H+), CAD patients with no hypertension (CAD+H-), and non-hypertensive non-CAD subjects as control group (CAD-H-) as health control. Genomic DNA from whole blood was extracted and eight SNPs were assessed using polymerase chain reaction- ligase detection reaction method.

Results

A significant difference was found in the genotype and allele frequency of preptin rs1003483 gene in CAD+H+ compared to CAD+H- groups (P?=?.019 and P?=?.018, respectively). Allele frequency of rs1003483 was significantly different between CAD+H- groups and healthy control groups (P?=?.043). There also existed a significant difference the genotype frequency of rs1004446 gene in CAD+H+ compared to CAD+H- groups (P?=?.027).

Conclusions

The findings of present study revealed that the preptin rs1003483 and rs1004446 gene polymorphism might serve as predisposing factor in CAD and hypertension.
