The impact of common polymorphisms in CETP and ABCA1 genes with the risk of coronary artery disease in Saudi Arabians

Abstract: BackgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many genetic and environmental risk factors including atherogenic dyslipidemia contribute towards the development of CAD. Functionally relevant mutations in the dyslipidemia-related genes and enzymes involved in the reverse cholesterol transport system are associated with CAD and contribute to increased susceptibility of myocardial infarction (MI).MethodBlood samples from 990 angiographically confirmed Saudi CAD pa… Show more

“…Lp(a) has been reported to be an independent risk factor for CAD in Asians44 and Caucasians 45. In agreement with our finding, Cyrus et al 46 also reported an increased risk of CAD in A allele carriers of the rs2230806 polymorphism.…”

“…The study selection process is detailed in Figure 1 . Through a comprehensive retrieval and evaluation, 45 studies from 44 papers with 20,866 cases and 21,298 controls met the inclusion criteria to assess the association between the CETP TaqIB polymorphism and the composite ischemic CVD [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ]. The selected study characteristics and data are listed in Table 1 .…”

“…The data on a number of world populations show that carriers of the G allele of the CETP polymorphic locus (G1264A, rs5882) reduce transfer protein activity and therefore increase HDL (Thompson et al, 2008) as well as decreased triglycerides compared to АА homozygotes (HosseiniEsfahani et al, 2019). In a number of studies, inverse associations of the 1264G allele increasing a risk of atherosclerosis have been found (Thompson et al, 2008;Cyrus et al, 2016). A twin study of European population showed that GG homozygotes have lower body mass index, fat mass, and subcutaneous fat thickness, while АА homozygotes demonstrated a faster weight gain under overnutrition (Teran-Garcıa et al, 2008).…”
