The rs4783961 and rs708272 genetic variants of the CETP gene are associated with coronary artery disease, but not with restenosis after coronary stenting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We evaluated whether cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene polymorphisms are associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or restenosis in patients with coronary stent.

Methods

Two polymorphisms of the CETP gene [-971 A/G (rs4783961), and Taq1B A/G (rs708272)] were genotyped by 5'exonuclease TaqMan assays in 219 patients with CAD (66 patients with restenosis and 153 without restenosis) and 607 control individuals.

Results

The distribution of polymorphisms was similar in patients with and without restenosis. However, when the whole group of patients (with and without restenosis) was compared to healthy controls, under dominant model, the G allele of the Taq1B A/G polymorphism was associated with increased risk of CAD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48, pCDom = 0.032). In the same way, under codominant, dominant, and additive models, the A allele of the -971 A/G polymorphisms was associated with an increased risk of developing CAD (OR = 2.03, pCCo-dom = 0.022, OR = 1.83, pCDom = 0.008, and OR = 1.39, pCAdd = 0.011, respectively). In addition, the linkage disequilibrium showed that the "AG" haplotype was associated with increased risk of developing CAD (OR = 1.28, p = 0.03).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that CETP Taq1B A/G and CETP -971 A/G polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of developing CAD, but no association with restenosis was observed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disease resulting from the cumulative and interactive effects of large number of genes along with environmental exposure. Therefore, the present study was envisaged as an effort to study the association of candidate genes ESR1 (rs2234693 and rs9340799), CETP (rs708272), MTHFR (rs1801133 and rs2274976) and MS (rs185087) polymorphisms with the risk of CAD, targeting the populations of Jammu (JandK). METHOD:A total of 400 confirmed CAD patients and 400 healthy controls were enrolled for the present study. Genotyping was done by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS:ESR1 gene (rs9340799) polymorphism was found to be associated with CAD in all the genetic models. The haplotype analysis of ESR1 (rs2234693 and rs9340799) gene revealed that C-G haplotype was conferring approximately 5-fold risk and T-A haplotype was adding 1.4-fold risk towards the disease. 'T' allele of MTHFR rs1801133 SNP was observed to be responsible for development of CAD in our study population (p?<?0.0001). In case of MTHFR (rs1801133 and rs2274976) gene, the haplotype T-G was observed to confer 4.7-fold risk towards CAD whereas haplotype C-G provided nearly a 1.7 fold protection towards development of CAD. For MS gene, rs185087 was also found to be associated with CAD in a co-dominant (p =?0.003 and p =?0.03), dominant (p =?0.001) and allelic models (p?=?0.001). The gene-gene interaction revealed strong epistasis between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), ESR1 rs9340799 and MTHFR rs2274976. Furthermore, the dendrogram for gene-environment dataset indicated moderately synergistic interaction between CETP rs708272 and physical inactivity. CONCLUSION:In the study under reference, a significant association of ESR1-XbaI (rs9340799), MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) and MS A2756G (rs185087) gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of CAD in the population of Jammu region (JandK) has been observed.

Project description:Numerous studies have shown a relationship between cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) polymorphism in the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the coronary artery disease (CAD) susceptibility, but the results have remained inconsistent. In addition, there was no study exploring the relationship between CETP polymorphisms and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) levels.We conducted a case-control study to evaluate the relationship between CETP rs708272 polymorphism and CAD risk and lipid levels in Chinese Han population. 556 CAD patients and 414 controls undergoing coronary angiography were consecutively enrolled in the hospital-based study. Polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method was used to detect the different genotypes at rs708272.No significant association between CETP rs708272 polymorphism and CAD risk was observed in different genetic models. In the whole population, participants with TT genotype had higher HDL-C levels (1.17 ± 0.31 mmol/L vs 1.09 ± 0.29 mmol/L, P = .001) and lower AIP levels (0.08 ± 0.35 vs 0.16 ± 0.31, P = .004) compared to those with CC genotype, after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, essential hypertension (EH), and DM. The T allele carriers had higher HDL-C levels than the T allele non-carriers (1.13 ± 0.29 mmol/L vs 1.09 ± 0.29 mmol/L, P = .023). Furthermore, subgroup analyses based on gender were carried out. In males, the results showed that participants with TT genotype had significant higher HDL-C levels and lower AIP levels compared with CC genotype (P <.05). In addition, males with CT+TT genotypes had higher HDL-C levels and lower AIP levels than those with CC genotypes (HDL-C: CT+TT 1.11 ± 0.31vs CC 1.06 ± 0.30 mmol/L, P = .041; AIP: CT+TT 0.12 ± 0.32vs CC 0.16 ± 0.31, P = .034, respectively). However, there were no significant associations between lipid levels and CETP rs708272 polymorphism in females, after adjusting for confounders.CETP rs708272 polymorphism has a gender-specific effect on lipid and AIP levels but not on the risk of CAD.
