Genetic variants associated with myocardial infarction in the PSMA6 gene and Chr9p21 are also associated with ischaemic stroke

Abstract: Background Ischemic stroke shares common traditional risk factors with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). This study evaluated whether genetic risk factors for CAD and MI also affect susceptibility to ischemic stroke in Caucasians and African Americans. Methods Included in the study were a Caucasian series (713 ischemic stroke patients, 708 controls) and a small African American series (166 ischemic stroke patients, 117 controls). Twenty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previ… Show more

“…The functional −8 G/C polymorphism in PSMA6 gene was earlier reported to be associated with several human diseases—type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease [9, 16, 18, 23]. Our study was designed to address the potential involvement of the PSMA6 gene polymorphism for the first time in chronic kidney failure.…”

“…Among the 7 million stroke population in China, 75% have sequelae of physical mobility, along with a growing economic burden upon both family and the entire society 1) . Approximately half of the strokes can be explained CI or carotid plaque susceptibility in the Chinese Han population, we selected six SNPs on 9p21 (rs10757278, rs1333049, rs2383206, rs1537378, rs4977574, and rs2383207) that had been validated well in AS from large cohorts 11,[21][22][23][24] .…”

“…There are several possible reasons for such differences. In fact, the frequencies of the risk-association alleles in chromosome 9p21 are similar in European and East Asian populations, but substantially lower in African descent [22], [27], [37], [38]. Thus, failing to identify any significant association in African populations could be due to substantially lower statistical power caused by the relatively lower prevalence of the risk allele.…”
