The Association of ADAMTS7 Gene Polymorphisms with the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease Occurrence and Cardiovascular Survival in the Polish Population: A Case-Control and a Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the polymorphisms of the ADAMTS7 gene affect the risk of occurrence and mortality due to CAD. The study group included 231 patients diagnosed with CAD and 240 control blood donors. The genotyping of specified polymorphisms, i.e., rs1994016, rs3825807, and rs7173743, was performed using the TaqMan-PCR. We found that the C allele carriers of the rs1994016 and A allele carriers of the rs3825807 polymorphisms increased the risk of CAD, respectively: OR = 1.72, p = 0.036; OR = 1.64, p = 0.04. Moreover, we studied the biological interactions of specified variants, i.e., rs3825807, rs1994016, and rs7173743, and previously approved risk factors of CAD. We demonstrated here that selected polymorphisms of ADAMTS7 increased
