ANRIL expression is associated with atherosclerosis risk at chromosome 9p21.
OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that expression of transcripts adjacent to the chromosome 9p21 (Chr9p21) locus of coronary artery disease was affected by the genotype at this locus and associated with atherosclerosis risk. METHODS AND RESULTS We replicated the locus for coronary artery disease (P=0.007; OR=1.28) and other manifestations of atherosclerosis such as carotid plaque (P=0.003; O...
متن کاملIs Sudden Hearing Loss Associated with Atherosclerosis?
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (SSNHL) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinics. Several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. In this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in SSNHL patients. Materials and ...
متن کاملINK4/ARF Transcript Expression Is Associated with Chromosome 9p21 Variants Linked to Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 9p21 near the INK4/ARF (CDKN2A/B) tumor suppressor locus with risk of atherosclerotic diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. To explore the mechanism of this association, we investigated whether expression of proximate transcripts (p16(INK4a), p15(INK4b), ARF, ANRIL and MTAP...
متن کاملThe chromosome 9p21 risk locus is associated with angiographic severity and progression of coronary artery disease.
AIMS we tested the hypothesis that the 9p21 risk locus promotes atherosclerosis by examining the association between rs10757278 and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and progression determined by semi-quantitative angiographic scores. METHODS AND RESULTS the rs10757278 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was genotyped as the marker for the 9p21 locus in 2334 Caucasian patients undergoin...
متن کاملSex Differential Genetic Effect of Chromosome 9p21 on Subclinical Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Chromosome 9p21 has recently been shown to be a risk region for a broad range of vascular diseases. Since carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque are independent predictors for vascular diseases, the association between 9p21 and these two phenotypes was investigated. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Carotid segment-specific IMT and plaques were obtained in 1083 stroke- and my...
