Abstract:
Objective The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of APOE and SLCO1B1 were examined to explore their association with the risk and severity of coronary heart disease(CAD). Methods A total of 1267 cases of consecutive coronary heart disease (CAD)-suspected inpatients visiting department of Cardiology in Peking University Peoples' Hospital from March 2017 to november were recruited into this case-control study, and then 391 CAD cases and 223 non-CAD controls were enrolled for final analysis after screening by coronary angiography and exclusion criteria. The severity of the CAD cases were evaluated according to Gensini scores. The SNPs of APOE(388T>C, 526C>T) and SLCO1B1(388A>G, 521T>C) were detected using Real-time PCR and further verified using Sanger sequencing. Environmental risk factors were collected, and the correlations between SNPs of APOE and SLCO1B1 and the risk and severity of CAD were performed by SPSS version 16.0. Results The SNPs of all the subjects included in CAD group and non-CAD group were successfully detected, with an accordance of 100% to Sanger sequencing. The distribution of APOE and SLCO1B1 gene were subjected to Hardy-Weinberg. The distributions of APOE gene ε3/ε3 genotypes and ε3 allele were most commonly found in both CAD group and non-CAD group (ε3/ε3: 70.8%,73.1%;ε3: 83.5%,85.2%;respectively). APOE genotypes and alleles were comparable between the CAD cases and non-CAD controls (P>0.05). The frequencies of APOE gene ε4+genotype were more likely to be found in the subgroup of CAD with Gensini score≥72 (P<0.05). The distributions of SLCO1B1 gene *1b/*1b genotypes and *1b allele were most commonly found in both CAD group and non-CAD group (*1b/*1b: 37.3%, 36.8%; *1b: 60.1%, 61.7%; respectively). There was no significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies of SLCO1B1 between the two groups and among subgroups with different severity of CAD (P>0.05). Conclusion This study observed no association between SNPs of APOE, SLCO1B1 and the risk of CAD in this population. However, APOE gene ε4 +genotype may increase the severity of CAD.
