Association of the rs17574 DPP4 Polymorphism with Premature Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients: Results from the Cohort of the GEA Mexican Study.

ABSTRACT: Previously, it has been reported that hypoalphalipoproteinemia (HA) is associated with rs17574 DDP4 polymorphism. Considering that in diabetic patients, HA is often present and is a risk factor for premature coronary artery disease (pCAD), the study aimed to evaluate the association of this polymorphism with pCAD in diabetic individuals. We genotyped the rs17574 polymorphism in 405 pCAD patients with T2DM, 736 without T2DM, and 852 normoglycemic individuals without pCAD and T2DM as controls. Serum DPP4 concentration was available in 818 controls, 669 pCAD without T2DM, and 339 pCAD with T2DM. The rs17574 polymorphism was associated with lower risk of pCAD (padditive = 0.007; pdominant = 0.003, pheterozygote = 0.003, pcodominant1 = 0.003). In pCAD with T2DM patients, DPP4 levels were lower
