Genetic Variants and Haplotypes in OPG Gene Are Associated with Premature Coronary Artery Disease and Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Mexican Population: The GEA Study.

ABSTRACT: Basic and clinical research have demonstrated that osteoprotegerin (OPG) plays an important role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of four polymorphic sites (rs2073618, rs3134069, rs3134070, and rs3102735) of OPG gene with premature coronary artery disease (pCAD), and with cardiometabolic parameters. The polymorphisms were genotyped using 5' exonuclease TaqMan genotyping assays with real-time PCR in 1098 individuals with pCAD and 1041 healthy controls. rs2073618 polymorphism was associated with a high risk of developing pCAD according to different inheritance models: additive (p = 0.001; odds ratio [OR] = 1.283), dominant (p = 0.006; OR = 1.383), recessive (p = 0.011; OR = 1.423), and codominant 2 (p = 0.001; OR = 1.646). The four polymorphisms were associated with different cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with pCAD and controls. Our results suggest that OPG rs2073618 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of pCAD. In addition, two haplotypes were associated with pCAD, one increasing the risk (CACT) and another one as protective (GACC).

Project description:BackgroundABCA1 genetic variation is known to play a role in HDL-C levels and various studies have also implicated ABCA1 variation in cardiovascular risk. The functional ABCA1/R230C variant is frequent in the Mexican population and has been consistently associated with low HDL-C concentrations. Although it has been associated with other cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is not known whether it is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD).AimThe purpose of the study was to analyze whether the ABCA1/R230C variant is associated with premature CAD in a case-control association study (GEA or Genetics of Atherosclerotic Disease), and to explore whether BMI modulates the effect of the C230 allele on other metabolic traits using a population-based design.ResultsThe C230 allele was significantly associated with both lower HDL-C levels and a lower risk of premature CAD as compared to controls (OR?=?0.566; P(add)?=?1.499×10(-5)). In addition, BMI modulated the effect of R230C on body fat distribution, as the correlation between BMI and visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue (a metric of the propensity to store fat viscerally as compared to subcutaneously) was negative in RR homozygous individuals, but positive in premenopausal women bearing the C230 allele, with a statistically significant interaction (P?=?0.005). BMI-R230C interaction was also significant for triglyceride levels in women regardless of their menopausal status (P?=?0.036).ConclusionThis is the first study assessing the effect of the R230C/ABCA1 variant in remature CAD. C230 was associated with both decreased HDL-C levels and a lower risk of premature CAD, and gender-specific BMI-R230C interactions were observed for different metabolic traits. These interactions may help explain inconsistencies in associations, and underscore the need to further analyze interactions of this functional and frequent variant with diet, exercise and other environmental factors.
