A genetic variant c.553G > T (rs2075291) in the apolipoprotein A5 gene is associated with altered triglycerides levels in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with lipid lowering drug.
We identified a missense SNP, rs2075291, in APOA5 associated with CAD</span> at a genome-wide significance level and provided new insights into pathways contributing to the susceptibility to CAD in the multi-ethnic populations from Southeast Asia.
We identified a missense SNP (rs2075291, G > T, G185C) in APOA5 for CAD that reached robust genome-wide significance (Meta P = 7.09 × 10<sup>-10</sup>, OR = 1.636).
<i>APOA5</i> SNPs rs662799 and rs651821 exhibited significant differences in genotype and allele distributions between patients with CAD and control subjects.
Aim was to estimate the genotypic distribution and risk allele frequencies of 13 Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) risk Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in loci identified by the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium namely MIA3 rs17465637; 9p21 rs10757274; CXCL12 rs1746048; APOA5 rs662799; APOB rs1042031; LPA rs3798220; LPA 10455872; MRAS rs9818870; LPL rs328; SORT1 rs646776; PCSK9 rs11591147; APOE rs429358; APOE rs7412 in Pakistani PCAD patients and controls.
<i>APOA5</i> SNPs rs662799 and rs651821 exhibited significant differences in genotype and allele distributions between patients with CAD and control subjects.
Polymerase chain reaction-based genotyping of PON1 Q192R (rs662) and APOA5-1131T>C (rs662799) polymorphism was carried out in 520 individuals, including 250 CAD patients (160 with T2DM and 90 without T2DM), 150 T2DM patients with no identified CAD, and 120 normal healthy sex- and age-matched individuals as controls.
We assessed the -1131T>C (rs662799) promoter polymorphism of the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene in relation to triglyceride concentration, several other risk factors, and risk of coronary heart disease.
Mediation analysis yielded a mediation effect of p.S19W on risk of premature CAD through HDL-C (OR = 0.98, P = 0.040) and TG (OR = 0.98, P = 0.042), suggesting a causal relationship between p.S19W and premature CAD partially through its effects on HDL-C and TG levels.
From these data, we conclude that (1) APOA5 p.S19W is a common variant, with very few additional APOA5 gene mutations; (2) APOA5 p.S19W plays a major role in triglyceride metabolism; and (3) APOA5 p.S19W is a CAD risk factor.
Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the relationship of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Apo11q cluster, namely the -75G>A, +83C>T SNPs in the APOA1 gene, the Sac1 SNP in the APOC3 gene and the S19W variant in the APOA5 gene to plasma lipids and CAD in 190 affected sibling pairs (ASPs) belonging to Asian Indian families with a strong CAD history.
The polymorphic variants of Apo-A5; rs2266788 (C), 9p21.3; rs1333049 (C) rs2383207 (A) are associated with CAD, its severity and exerts the risk of MI in North Indian population.
Of note, gene dosage of rs2266788 demonstrated a robust association with triglyceride level (p = 1.39 × 10(-19)), modified Gensini scores (p = 1.67 × 10(-3)), and numbers of vascular lesions in CAD patients (odds ratio: 1.96, 95% confidence interval: 1.31 to 2.14, p = 8.96 × 10(-4)).
