Genetic Association of rs10757278 on Chromosome 9p21 and Coronary Artery Disease in a Saudi Population.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Few studies have been carried out in the Saudi population regarding the association of rs10757278 polymorphism with CAD. This study aimed to investigate the association of the rs10757278 polymorphism with CAD in Saudi population.

Materials and methods

In this case-control study, we recruited 437 patients with CAD and 251 cross-matched healthy controls and performed polymorphism genotyping for rs10757278 using a polymerase chain reaction followed by a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Results

The G allele (OR-1.44; 95% CI: 1.15-1.80; p=0.001), as GG (OR-2.13; 95% CI: 1.35-3.36; p=0.0009), in the dominant (OR-1.47; 95% CI: 1.03-2.10; p
