Assessment of genetic polymorphism associated with ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene and fluctuations in serum lipid profile levels in patients with coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the common genetic and clinical risk factors associated with cardiovascular and multifactorial disorder. ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene plays an important role in lipid metabolism and in multiple studies associated with CAD. However, more studies are needed to identify the exact role of single nucleotide polymorphisms which may cause CAD.

Objectives

The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic association of polymorphism g.1051G > A in the ABCA1 gene with CAD patients in the Saudi population.

Methods

We included 315 confirmed CAD cases, and 205 non-CAD or control subjects in this case-control study. DNA isolation was carried out for all registered participants and the polymorphism g.105
