Genetic Variant rs10757278 on Chromosome 9p21 Contributes to Myocardial Infarction Susceptibility
Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that rs10757278 polymorphism (or its proxy rs1333049) on chromosome 9p21 is associated with myocardial infarction (MI) susceptibility in individuals of Caucasian ancestry. Following studies in other populations investigated this association. However, some of these studies reported weak or no significant association. Here, we reeva...
متن کاملA genetic variant on chromosome 9p21 and incident heart failure in the ARIC study.
AIMS Recent studies showed that polymorphisms on chromosome 9p21 are associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), but few studies examined the association with heart failure (HF), stroke, or other subclinical atherosclerotic diseases. We tested the association of chromosome 9p21 polymorphisms with non-coronary atherosclerotic diseases. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 4018 African-American and...
متن کاملValidation of the association of genetic variants on chromosome 9p21 and 1q41 with myocardial infarction in a Japanese population.
BACKGROUND Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified several loci associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to examine whether the previously reported CAD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) confer susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI) in a study population of 2,475 controls and 589 cases of MI. The ...
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...
متن کاملAssociation of variation in the chromosome 9p21 locus with myocardial infarction versus chronic coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND A chromosome 9p21 locus is associated with coronary heart disease in 25 independent populations, but multiple clinically distinct phenotypes have been evaluated. Using angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) phenotyping, this study evaluated whether 9p21 single-nucleotide polymorphisms predict ischemic events (eg, myocardial infarction [MI]) among CAD patients. METHODS AND RESUL...
