Association between chemokine CXC ligand 12 gene polymorphism (rs1746048) and coronary heart disease

چکیده
Recently a large number of investigations have implicated the association between the chemokine CXC ligand 12 gene polymorphism (rs1746048) and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the results remain debatable. The aim of our study was to provide more compelling evidence for the relationship between rs1746048 and CHD risk. Studies eligible for this meta-analysis were identified through electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and CNKI. Two authors performed independent literature review and study quality assessment by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale checklist. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled in a specific genetic model to assess the association. The meta-analysis of 48,852 patients and 64,386 controls from 12 studies showed that patients with rs1746048 had 1.11 times of high risk in developing CHD (OR = 1.11; 95% CI = 1.09-1.14; P < .005; I = 35.8%). The increased risk of CHD was also found in both Asian (OR = 1.07; 95%CI = 1.02-1.12; P < .005; I = 40.6%) and Caucasian populations (OR = 1.14; 95% CI = 1.10-1.18; P < .005; I = 22.2%). The results of our meta-analysis suggested that chemokine CXC ligand 12 gene polymorphism (rs1746048) may be linked with susceptibility to CHD.

Evaluation of Apolipoprotein A5 Polymorphism in Coronary- Heart Disease Patients
Background and Objectives: Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene is important in determining plasma triglyceride levels, a major cardiovascular disease risk factor. Mutation in this gene affected plasma triglyceride level. We looked for possible associations of the APOA5 gene polymorphism S19W with coronary heart disease (CHD) in a sample of Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 7...

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease and is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Vascular plaques are formed on the inner surface of hardened arteries and gradually develop, reducing the diameter of the arteries. CXCR4 is one of the most important chemokine receptors, whose presence has been confirmed in cardiac plaques. Our aim was to determine the relations...
