Association of Common Variants of APOE, CETP, and the 9p21.3 Chromosomal Region with the Risk of Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT: The individual risk of an unfavorable cardiovascular outcome is determined by genetic factors in addition to lifestyle factors. This study was aimed at analyzing possible associations of several genetic factors with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). For our study, we selected genes that have been significantly associated with MI in meta-analyses: the chromosomal region 9p21.3, the CETP gene, and the APOE gene. In total, 2286 randomly selected patients were included. Rs708272 and rs429358 and rs7412 were analyzed using RT-PCR via the TaqMan principle, and rs1333049 vas analyzed via a commercial KASP assay. In our sample, the frequencies of alleles and genotypes were consistent with frequencies in comparable populations of Eastern and Western Europe. Allele C of rs1333049 was significantly associated with MI among males (p = 0.027) and in the whole study sample (p = 0.008). We also revealed a significant association of the ɛ2/ɛ4 genotype of APOE with MI among males (p < 0.0001) and in the whole study sample (p < 0.0001). Thus, among the tested polymorphisms, some genotypes of rs1333049 and rs429358 and rs7412 are the most strongly associated with MI and can be recommended for inclusion into a genetic risk score.

Project description:Although Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between lipoprotein particles and thus plays a crucial role in reverse cholesterol transport, the association of variations in the CETP gene with acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. In this study we examined whether common genetic variation in the CETP gene is related to early-onset non-fatal MI risk in a population-based case-control study from western Washington State. Genotyping for the CETP -2708 G/A, -971 A/G, -629 A/C, Intron-I TaqI G/A and exon-14 A/G (I405V) SNPs was performed in 578 cases with first acute non-fatal MI and in 666 demographically similar controls, free of clinical cardiovascular disease, identified randomly from the community. In-person interviews and non-fasting blood specimens provided data on coronary heart disease risk factors. In men, there was little evidence for an association between single SNPs and MI risk, but in women the age- and race-adjusted OR was found to be significant in 4 out of the 5 CETP single variants. Haplotype analysis revealed two haplotypes associated with MI risk among men. As compared to men homozygous for the most common haplotype D (-2708 G, -971 G, -629 C, TaqI G and exon-14 A), the fully-adjusted multiplicative model identified haplotype G (-2708 G, -971 A, -629 A, TaqI G and exon-14 G) was associated with a 4.0-6.0-fold increased risk of MI for each additional copy; [95%CI 2.4-14.8] and haplotype B (-2708 G, -971 G, -629 A, TaqI A and exon-14 A) showed a significant decreased risk for early onset MI [OR = 0.18; 95%CI 0.04 - 0.75]. An evolutionary-based haplotype analysis indicated that the two haplotypes associated with the MI risk are most evolutionarily divergent from the other haplotypes. Variation at the CETP gene locus is associated with the risk of early-onset non-fatal MI. This association was found to be independent of HDL-C levels. These data and the sex-specific findings require confirmation in other populations.

Project description:ObjectiveThe rs10757278, rs1333049 and rs4977574 are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of chromosome 9p21 locus associated with a prevalence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Reports concerning their association with long-term outcome after an ACS are equivocal. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of the 9p21.3 locus with 5-year overall mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Materials and methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively in 2 independent registries of consecutive patients with STEMI (derivation and validation group). Genotyping was performed with the TaqMan method. The analyzed end-point was total mortality.ResultsThe derivation group comprised 589 patients: 25.3% female (n = 149), mean age 62.4 ± 12.0 years, total 5-year mortality 16.6% (n = 98). When all the study group was analyzed, no significant differences in mortality were found between the genotypes. However, in high-risk patients (GRACE risk score ≥ 155 points, n = 238), homozygotes associated with higher risk for ACS had significantly better 5-year survival compared to other genotypes. The hazard ratio associated with the high-risk genotype (a homozygote of high risk for ACS or a heterozygote) was: HR = 2.2 (1.15-4.2) for the rs10757278 polymorphism, HR = 2.7 (95% CI 1.3-5.4) for the rs4977574 one and HR = 2.3 (1.2-4.5) for the rs1333049 one (Cox proportional hazards model). Survival analysis in the validation group (n = 365) showed a clear trend towards better prognosis in GG homozygotes of the rs10757278 SNP, which confirms our initial results (p = 0.09, log-rank test).ConclusionsThe 9p21.3 locus is associated with 5-year mortality in high-risk patients with STEMI. The genotypes associated with higher risk for ACS show a protective effect in terms of further survival (instead of a deteriorating prognosis, as reported previously). This finding, due to the very high size of the effect, could potentially be applied to clinical practice, if appropriate methods are elaborated.
