Association of COL4A1 ( rs605143, rs565470 ) and CD14 ( rs2569190 ) genes polymorphism with coronary artery disease
2018
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide and it is basically caused by atherosclerosis. The atherosclerotic process includes complex events and each one involves a specific biological pathway and different genes. According to World Health Organization report, Cardiovascular diseases will be the largest cause of death and disability by 2020, with an estimated 2.6 million Indians predicted to die due to CAD predominantly with myocardial infarction. Genetic factors are estimated to contribute 30–60% of the CAD risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of COL4A1 and CD14 genes polymorphism with CAD. This study included 345 subjects, 185 CAD cases and 160 healthy controls. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Alleles and genotype frequencies between cases and controls were compared using χ2 and Student’s t tests. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by logistic regression to assess the relative association between disease and genotypes. In this study, CD14 (rs2569190), CC (P = 0.008) genotypes, and C allele (P = 0.007) were found to be a positive risk factor, while TT genotype (P = 0.045) and T allele (P = 0.007) as negative risk factor for CAD. Significant differences were not observed in COL4A1 (rs605143 and rs565470) gene polymorphism with CAD. It seems that CD14 gene polymorphism might be associated with the risk of CAD, whereas COL4A1 gene polymorphism was not found to confer any risk of CAD.
