Interaction between Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water and Genetic Polymorphisms on Cardiovascular Disease in Bangladesh: A Prospective Case-Cohort Study

Abstract: Background: Epidemiologic data on genetic susceptibility to cardiovascular effects of arsenic exposure from drinking water are limited.Objective: We investigated whether the association between well-water arsenic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) differed by 170 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 17 genes related to arsenic metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction.Method: We conducted a prospective case-cohort study nested in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study… Show more

“…Individuals who died before the first follow-up (n=107) were excluded, leaving a total of 11,639 subjects. Among these, we focused only on those on whom we had obtained a blood sample and had genotyped as part of a previous case-cohort study (n=1804) [11,19]. We excluded 553 individuals who did not have a baseline well water As measurement, in addition to 3 individuals who did not have a BP measurement at baseline and 69 without at least one follow-up BP measurements.…”

“…Additionally, endothelial dysfunction associated with arsenic exposure has also been observed. In Bangladesh, gene by environment interaction in relation to increases in blood pressure from arsenic exposure has been well described, demonstrating variable cardiotoxicity due to variable methylation of arsenic 149151 . In a separate Bangladesh study, folate supplementation promoted urinary excretion of arsenic and may attenuate arsenic toxicity 201 .…”

“…Ponadto badania przeprowadzone w Bangladeszu wykazały związek polimorfizmów genów kodujących białka związane z metabolizmem arsenu, stresem oksydacyjnym, procesem zapalnym i dysfunkcją śródbłonka z występowaniem chorób kardiologicznych w następstwie narażenia na arsen [15].…”
