Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the association of CXCL12 and CXCR4 polymorphisms with the genetic risk and severity of coronary stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
METHODS:Competitive allele specific PCR(KASP) was performed to identify the genotypes of rs2297630 and rs2322864 polymorphisms in 302 CAD patients and 302 age-and gender-matched healthy controls. The severity of CAD patients was assessed by the Gensini scoring system according to the results of coronary arteriography. The association of rs2297630 and rs2322864 polymorphisms with genetic risk of CAD and Gensini scores were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression and multivariate linear regression respectively.
RESULTS:There were significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of both rs2297630 and rs2322864 between the CAD group and healthy control (all <0.01). Regression analysis showed that rs2297630 polymorphism was associated with genetic risk of CAD and Gensini scores (all <0.01). People who carried the AA genotype suffered higher risk of CAD susceptibility and more serious coronary stenosis (all <0.01), compared with GG genotype carriers. There was also significant association between rs2322864 polymorphism and genetic risk of CAD (<0.01); those who carried the CT genotype had higher risk of CAD (<0.01), compared with TT genotype carriers. However, rs2322864 polymorphism was not associated with the severity of coronary stenosis (>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:Gene polymorphism of CXCL12 rs2297630 is associated with the genetic risk of CAD and the severity of coronary stenosis. Moreover, the gene polymorphism of CXCR4 rs2322864 is associated with genetic risk of CAD, but not with the severity of coronary stenosis.
