Project description:BackgroundAldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) T-344C gene polymorphism was found to be correlated with atrial fibrillation (AF) risk. However, the results of individual studies remain conflicting.Objective and methodsA meta-analysis including 2,758 subjects from six individual studies was performed to explore the correlation between CYP11B2 T-344C gene polymorphisms and AF. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were evaluated by the fixed- or random-effects model.ResultsA significant relationship between CYP11B2 T-344C gene polymorphism and AF was found under allelic (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.11-1.42, P = 0.0002), recessive (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.26-3.14, P = 0.003), dominant (OR: 0.903, 95% CI: 0.820-0.994, P = 0.036), homozygous (OR: 1.356, 95% CI: 1.130-1.628, P = 0.001), and additive (OR: 1.153, 95% CI: 1.070-1.243, P = 1.0×10(-10)) genetic models. No significant association between CYP11B2 T-344C gene polymorphism and AF was found under the heterozygous genetic model (OR: 1.040, 95% CI: 0.956-1.131, P = 0.361).ConclusionsA significant association was found between CYP11B2 T-344C gene polymorphism and AF risk. Individuals with the C allele of CYP11B2 T-344C gene polymorphism have higher risk for AF.

Project description:The relationship between Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype and the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is relatively well established in Caucasians, but less established in other ethnicities. To examine the association between ApoE polymorphism and the onset of AD in Chinese population, we searched the commonly used electronic databases between January 2000 and November 2013 for relevant studies. Total 20 studies, including 1576 cases and 1741 controls, were retrieved. The results showed statistically significant positive association between risk factor ε4 allele carriers and AD in Chinese population (OR = 3.93, 95% CI = 3.37-4.58, P < 0.00001). Genotype ApoE ε4/ε4 and ε4/ε3 have statistically significant association with AD as well (ε4/ε4: OR = 11.76, 95% CI = 6.38-21.47, P < 0.00001; ε4/ε3: OR = 3.08, 95% CI = 2.57-3.69, P < 0.00001). Furthermore, the frequency of the ApoE ε3 is lower in AD than that in the health controls, and the difference of ε3 allele is also statistically significant (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.37-0.47, P < 0.00001). No significant heterogeneity was observed among all studies. This meta-analysis suggests that the subject with at least one ApoE ε4 allele has higher risk suffering from AD than controls in Chinese population. The results also provide a support for the protection effect of ApoE ε3 allele in developing AD.

Project description:BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia affected by multiple cardiovascular risk factors. It is reported that caveolin-1 gene (CAV1) rs3807989 polymorphism might be associated with AF risk. The goal of this meta-analysis was to confirm the association between CAV1 rs3807989 polymorphism and susceptibility to AF. MATERIAL AND METHODS We carried out a comprehensive literature search through the electronic databases PubMed, MEDLIN, and Web of Science. We performed a meta-analysis of all selected studies based on CAV1 rs3807989 polymorphism genotypes, including 3758 cases and 6126 controls. RESULTS After meta-analysis with fixed- or random-effects models, we found significant associations in all 5 comparisons: allelic model (G/A; OR=1.228, 95%CI: 1.061-1.420; P=0.006), homozygote model (GG/AA; OR=1.439, 95%CI: 1.094-1.894; P=0.009), heterozygote model (GG/GA; OR=1.257, 95%CI: 1.064-1.486; P=0.007), dominant model (GG/AA+GA; OR=1.287, 95%CI: 1.076-1.540; P=0.006), and recessive model (AA/GA+GG; OR=0.738, 95%CI: 0.629-0.867; P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis results revealed the overall results were robust. CONCLUSIONS The results revealed a significant association between CAV1 gene rs3807989 polymorphism and susceptibility to AF, suggesting that the presence of allelic G might be one of the genetic factors conferring susceptibility to AF. To confirm this association, further well-designed studies are necessary.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious case-control studies on association between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been published but because of the conflicting results and small sample size of individual studies, the consolidated result is still controversial.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore the relationship between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and risk of AF.MethodsWe performed a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Embase, OVID, Web of Science, Wan Fang, and CNKI databases up to March 10, 2017 in English and Chinese languages. Two of the authors individually extracted study data and assessed the study quality using Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined in different genetic models for evaluation using a random-effect model or fixed-effect model according to interstudy heterogeneity.ResultsThere were totally 14 independent case-control studies of 2810 patients and 3080 healthy controls included. Significant associations were found between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and AF in overall population under all genetic models: allelic (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.24-1.45, P < .001), homozygous (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.61-2.24, P < .001), heterozygous (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.21-1.68, P < .001), recessive (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.20-1.69, P < .001), dominant genetic model (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.39-1.89, P < .001). Subgroup analyses indicated similar association in Chinese and white.ConclusionsThe G38S polymorphism in the KCNE1 gene can significantly increase the risk of AF in both Chinese and white.

Project description:BackgroundChymase is the major angiotensin II (Ang II)-forming enzyme in cardiovascular tissue, with an important role in atrial remodeling. This study aimed to examine the association between chymase 1 gene (CMA1) polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Chinese Han population.MethodsThis case-control study enrolled 126 patients with lone AF and 120 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, all from a Chinese Han population. Five CMA1 polymorphisms were genotyped.ResultsThe CMA1 polymorphism rs1800875 (G-1903A) was associated with AF. The frequency of the GG genotype was significantly higher in AF patients compared with controls (p = 0.009). Haplotype analysis further demonstrated an increased risk of AF associated with the rs1800875-G haplotype (Hap8 TGTTG, odds ratio (OR) = 1.668, 95% CI 1.132-2.458, p = 0.009), and a decreased risk for the rs1800875-A haplotype (Hap5 TATTG, OR = 0.178, 95% CI 0.042-0.749, p = 0.008).ConclusionsCMA1 polymorphisms may be associated with AF, and the rs1800875 GG genotype might be a susceptibility factor for AF in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of ?-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) rs2592551 polymorphism on warfarin dose in atrial fibrillation patients in Xinjiang region. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequencing methods were used to detect the rs2592551 genotype in 269 atrial fibrillation patients with warfarin administration. The effects of different genotypes on warfarin dose were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The rs2592551 polymorphism detection results were 136 cases of wild-type homozygous CC genotype (50.56%), 115 cases of heterozygous CT genotype (42.75%), 18 cases of homozygous TT genotype (6.69%). The allele frequency C was 71.93%, T was 28.07%. The stable warfarin dose average was 2.86?±?0.61 mg/d in patients with CC genotype, 3.59?±?0.93 mg/d in patients with CT genotype and 4.06?±?0.88 mg/d in patients with TT genotype. The warfarin dose in different genotypes were compared, there was statistically significant difference between CC and TT, CC and CT (P <0. 05), but the TT and CT showed no significant difference (P?>?0.05). CONCLUSION: In atrial fibrillation population in Xinjiang, patients with CT and TT genotypes in GGCX gene rs259251 loci required for significantly higher warfarin dose than those with CC genotype. Therefore, rs2592551 polymorphism may one of the factors affecting the warfarin dose in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between KCNA5 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and idiopathic atrial fibrillation (IAF).MethodsA case-control study was conducted, including 282 cases of IAF patients and 300 cases of age and sex-matched normal controls; gene sequencing method was used to detect the distribution of KCNA5 SNP (rs3741930 and rs1056468) in the two groups. The IAF patients were divided into two groups based on the different genotypes of rs1056468 and rs3741930; differences in clinical parameters between the two groups of patients were compared.ResultsFor rs3741930, the CC, CT and TT genotype frequencies in the IAF group were 16.7%, 50.0%, and 33.3% respectively; C allele frequency in IAF group was 41.7%; in the normal control group, those were 10.0%, 49.3%, 40.7% and 34.7% respectively; CC genotype frequency and C allele frequency in IAF group were significantly higher compared with the control group (P=0.019, P=0.014). For rs1056468, the AA, AT and TT genotype frequencies in the IAF group were 44.3%, 48.6%, and 7.1% respectively; in 300 cases of normal controls, those were 38.7%, 50.7%, and 10.6% respectively; A allele frequency in IAF group was 68.6 %, and it was 64.0% in normal controls. There were no significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between control and IAF groups (P>0.05). In IAF group, among different genotypes of rs1741930 and rs1056468, there were no significant differences in age, SBP, DBP, HR, LAD and LVEF (P>0.05). While the BMI in CC and CC+TT groups of rs3741930 locus were 26.9±2.3 Kg/m(2) and 24.8±2.5 Kg/m(2) respectively. There were statistical differences between the two groups (P=0.019). BMI in AA and AA+TT groups of rs1056468 locus were 24.9±2.7 Kg/m(2) and 26.4±2.4 Kg/m(2) respectively; There was statistically significant significance between the two groups (P=0.014).ConclusionThe single nucleotide polymorphism rs3741930 locus in KCNA5 gene was related to the risk of IAF; the population carrying C allele was more susceptible to IAF; the polymorphic loci, rs3741930 and rs1056468, were correlated with the BMI of IAF patients.

Project description:Regular physical activity is well established to be associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes. Whether physical activity is associated with the future risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a controversy. Using a systematic review and meta-analysis of published observational cohort studies in general populations with at least one-year of follow-up, we aimed to evaluate the association between regular physical activity and the risk of AF. Relevant studies were sought from inception until October 2020 in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and manual search of relevant articles. Extracted relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the maximum versus the minimal amount of physical activity groups were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Quality of the evidence was assessed by GRADE. A total of 23 unique observational cohort studies comprising of 1,930,725 participants and 45,839 AF cases were eligible. The pooled multivariable-adjusted RR (95% CI) for AF comparing the most physically active versus the least physically active groups was 0.99 (0.93-1.05). This association was modified by sex: an increased risk was observed in men: 1.20 (1.02-1.42), with a decreased risk in women: 0.91 (0.84-0.99). The quality of the evidence ranged from low to moderate. Pooled observational cohort studies suggest that the absence of associations reported between regular physical activity and AF risk in previous general population studies and their aggregate analyses could be driven by a sex-specific difference in the associations - an increased risk in men and a decreased risk in women.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO 2020: CRD42020172814.

Project description:We aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) model from healthy Chinese subjects and real-world non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. We also investigated meaningful intrinsic and extrinsic factors and related biomarkers for bleeding events. We characterized the integrated PK/PD models based on rich PK/PD data [dabigatran concentration, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and anti-factor IIa (anti-FIIa) activity] from 118 healthy volunteers and sparse PD data [APTT, PT, and anti-FIIa] from 167 patients with NVAF after verifying the model extrapolation performance. We also documented the correlations between PD biomarkers and clinically relevant bleeding events over one year. Next, we used the final integrated PK/PD model (a two-compartment, linear model with first-order absorption) to evaluate the influence of dosage and individual covariates on PD parameters. The age, high-density liptein cholesterol (HDL-C), and creatinine clearance (CrCL) improved the PK model fit. The linear direct-effects PD model described the correlation between APTT, PT, and anti-FIIa and plasma concentration. CrCL improved the PD model fit. Anti-FIIa was more sensitive to the increase in dabigatran exposure than APTT and PT in the PD model. Therefore, fixed dabigatran doses could be prescribed for patients with NVAF without adjusting for age and HDL-C. We observed an elevated bleeding tendency with higher peak and trough values of APTT, PT, and anti-FIIa. Randomized studies should be performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose dabigatran in Chinese patients with NVAF.

Project description:BackgroundPR interval variations have recently been associated with an increased risk of long-term atrial fibrillation (AF), heart block and all-cause mortality. Genome-wide association studies have linked the PR interval with several common variants in the TBX5 gene. Several variants in the TBX5 gene, including rs7312625 and rs883079, have been associated with AF. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TBX5 gene, rs7312625 and rs883079, with AF in Chinese Han patients.Methodology/principal findingsIn this case-control association study, large cohorts of AF patients (n = 1132) and controls (n = 1206) were recruited from different hospitals. The genotyping was performed using a Rotor-Gene TM 6000 high-resolution melt system. Rs7312625, rs3825214 and rs883079 were analyzed. We found that SNP 3825214 was significantly associated with AF (P-obs = 0.002, odds ratio [OR] = 0.82), and lone AF (P-obs = 6.77x10-5, odds ratio [OR] = 0.71). SNP rs7312625 was significantly associated with lone AF (P-obs = 0.015, odds ratio [OR] = 1.27), although its association with AF was not significant. No significant association of SNP rs883079 with AF or lone AF was observed. Thus, we analyzed the interaction among these three loci. We demonstrated significant interaction among rs3825214, rs7312625 and rs883079. Four-locus risk alleles showed the highest odds ratio in combined rs3825214 and rs7312625 (P-obs<0.0001, odds ratio [OR] = 2.21). Six-locus risk alleles showed the highest odds ratio in combined rs3825214, rs7312625 and rs 883079(P-obs<0.0001, odds ratio [OR] = 2.35). Significance was established with the trend test (P<0.0001).ConclusionsFor the first time, we report the strong association of SNP rs3825214 in the TBX5 gene with AF and lone AF in a Chinese Han population. Rs7312625 was significantly associated with lone AF, and snp-snp interaction increased the risk of atrial fibrillation. Our data might provide new insights into understanding AF pathogenesis and designing novel genetic therapies for AF patients.
