ABSTRACT: Purpose
An increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity has been linked with metabolic syndrome (MetS), described as the secondary risk reduction target. These patients are predisposed to high complication levels such as unstable angina-pectoris (USAP) by MetS. As with the role of renalase in the regulation of blood pressure (BP), the study was carried out to determine the levels of renalase circulation in patients with USAP and MetS (USAP+MetS), as well as the association of renalase gene (RNLS) rs10887800 polymorphism and USAP and MetS susceptibility.Patients and methods
A total of 134 patients with USAP+MetS and 134 control subjects were recruited in this case-control study.Results
Renalase was found to have a significantly higher level in USAP+MetS patients (23.28 ± 4.09 µg/dL) than in healthy ones (20.81 ± 2.73 µg/dL) (P < 0.001). Also, it was shown that renalase sensitivity and specificity values for the early diagnosis of USAP and MetS seemed to be 53.7% and 76.9, respectively. Moreover, the value for renalase area under curve (AUC) was 0.654 (95% CI: 0.58-0.72). The frequency of rs10887800 AG and GG genotypes of RNLS gene was significantly higher in USAP+MetS patients than in control subjects, suggesting that this genotype might be a risk factor against USAP+MetS (OR = 2.114 [95% CI 1.113-4.016]; P = 0.022) and (OR = 2.057 [95% CI 1.011-4.186]; P = 0.047), respectively.Conclusion
The present results showed that renalase serum levels increased in USAP and MetS patients. Moreover, the RNLS rs10887800 was reported to be associated with a higher risk of USAP+MetS.
