Gene Polymorphisms and HDL Subfractions in Coronary Artery Disease
Affiliations
Background/aim: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Polymorphisms in the SCARB1 gene are known to be related to plasma lipids.
Patients And Methods: Real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for identification of SCARB1 polymorphisms and the Lipoprint Quantimetrix System was employed in identification of HDL subfractions.
Results: According to allelic distribution, in both groups SCARB1 AA genotype led to a two-fold decrease in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (p=0.04), while the GA genotype increased the risk two-fold (p=0.03). According to the HDL subfraction analysis results, the AA genotype had higher levels of big-sized HDL subfraction (p=0.02).
Conclusion: The SCARB1AA genotype decreased cardiovascular risk and carrying GA genotype and G allele increased the risk of CAD. AA genotype carriers had higher levels of big-sized HDL subfraction.
