Angiotensinogen-M235T as a risk factor for myocardial infarction in Asian populations: a genetic association study and a bioinformatics approach

چکیده
AIM To investigate if there is an association between M235T polymorphism of angiotensinogen gene and myocardial infarction (MI) risk and perform a meta-analysis and an in silico approach. METHODS This case-control study included 340 participants (155 MI patients and 185 controls) examined at Kashan University of Medical Sciences (Kashan, Iran) between 2013 and 2015. Meta-analysis included 25 studies with 6334 MI patients and 6711 controls. Bioinformatics tools were applied to evaluate the impact of M235T polymorphism on angiotensinogen function and structure. RESULTS Genetic association study revealed a significant association between TT genotype (odds ratio [OR] 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-4.00, P=0.029) and T allele (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.06-1.99, P=0.021) and MI risk. Meta-analysis also revealed a significant association between M235T polymorphism and MI risk in allelic (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.10-2.18, P=0.012) and recessive (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.13-2.53, P=0.010) models within Asian population. In silico-analysis revealed that M235T fundamentally changed the function of angiotensinogen (score 32; expected accuracy 66%). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that M235T polymorphism might be a helpful biomarker for screening of susceptible individuals for MI in Asian population.

BACKGROUND The angiotensinogen gene has been linked to the development of essential hypertension, and a M235T variant of this gene, associated with increased plasma levels of angiotensinogen, is more common in hypertensives than in normotensive controls in various populations. The present study was conducted to examine whether the M235T variant of the angiotensinogen gene may be a risk factor f...

The M235T mutation of the human angiotensinogen gene has been shown to be associated with elevated circulating angiotensinogen concentrations and essential hypertension. The frequencies of the 235T allele are significantly different in black and white subjects. We analyzed the independent contribution of the angiotensinogen M235T mutation to the development of recurrent coronary events (coronar...
