The E27 β2-adrenergic Receptor Polymorphism Reduces the Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Dyslipidemic Young Males

Abstract: SummaryIn the present study we evaluated whether two polymorphisms of β2-adrenergic receptors (β2-AR) gene (R16G and Q27E) could modify the risk of myocardial infarction (MI).Using a case-control design, we analyzed the data from 125 male patients who had experienced a first episode of MI before the age of 45 years and 108 male controls matched for age. The allele frequencies for R16G and Q27E were: G16=0.56 and E27=0.36 in patients with MI and G16=0.61 and E27=0.42 in the control group. There was a trend (not… Show more

“…Carriers of one or two copies of the Glu 27 allele had a decreased risk of developing MI compared with homozygote Gln27 subjects (OR 5 0.48, 95% CI 5 0.24-0.94, P 5 0.03) ( Table 3). In agreement with our findings, the ADRB2 Glu27 allele was shown to have a protective effect against MI in young dyslipidemic males (17). Moreover, in a study investigating the possible relationships between Arg16Gly and Gln27Glu b 2 -AR polymorphisms and the risk of cardiovascular events in older patients, homozygote carriers of the Gln27 allele were found to have a higher risk of coronoary events than Glu27 allele carriers.…”

“…The Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly polymorphisms of ADRB1 have been associated with a number of phenotypes, mostly related to the cardiovascular system, including heart rate (5,6), heart failure (7-10), dilated cardiomyopathy (11,12), myocardial infarction (MI) (13), and hypertension (14), but with conflicting results. In addition to ADRB1 polymorphisms, the ADRB2 polymorphisms, Gly16Arg and Gln27Glu, have been evaluated in relation to several cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension (15,16), MI (15,(17)(18)(19)(20), andbeen studied in relation to idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in a Turkish population (22).…”

“…Prior studies, however, are not in agreement on which specific variants of these polymorphisms are associated with enhanced vasodilation (Brodde, 2008b). Our findings are in line with earlier epidemiologic studies that support the protective effect of the Glu 27 allele on risks of MI, as documented both in longitudinal population-based studies (e.g., the Cardiovascular Health Study (Heckbert et al, 2003)) and in case-control studies (e.g., Sala et al, 2001). …”

“…This allele was also associated with increased BMI in Japanese males [9] and females ; and in those females it was also associated with increased triacylglycerol levels [9]. A relationship with an increased BMI in Swedish females, but not in Swedish males, has also been identified [7], while no association with obesity or Type II diabetes was found in young Danish males [12], Italian males [19], Black South Africans [14], Swedish males [18] and Austrian females [17]. Thus, although this polymorphism may have population-and gender-specific associations with obesity and Type II diabetes, its role remains unclear.…”

“…They found a marked association of this allele with obesity with an odds ratio of approx. 10 ; however, the results obtained in other populations have varied [7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Mindful of these diverse findings, we investigated the relationship of the Gln#(Glu polymorphism in the β # AR gene to obesity and Type II diabetes in a representative sample of the Tongan population.…”
