The role of the Beta2-adrenoceptor (beta2-AR) Gln27Glu polymorphism in the manifestation of cardiovascular diseases is still unclear.
In the present study, we evaluated the potential relevance of the c.79 C>G (p.Gln27Glu) polymorphism of this receptor gene for coronary artery disease (CAD) and its associated risk factors in Saudi Arabs. Genotyping was performed by PCR using the confronting two-pair primer (PCR-CTPP) method.
In the general population group (BD) (n = 895), 68.5% were homozygous wild-type C/C, 28.3% were heterozygous C/G and 3.2% were homozygous mutant G/G. Among the CAD patients (n = 773), 50.6% were homozygous wild-type C/C, 43.6% were heterozygous C/G and 5.8% were homozygous mutant G/G, while in the angiographed control group (CON) (n = 528), 71.8% were C/C, 24.4% C/G and 3.8% G/G genotypes. These results indicate that both the C/G (p = or < .001) and G/G (p = .005) genotypes are significantly associated with CAD, when compared to the CON group. In addition, C/G (p = or < .001) and G/G (p = or < .001) were significantly associated with CAD, when compared to the BD group. Furthermore, stepwise logistic regression showed that the genotype [C/G (p < .001) and G/G (p < .001)] increase the risk of CAD.
These results shows that the Gln27Glu genotypes (homo- or heterozygous) of the beta2-AR may be independent predictors of severe CAD.
β2肾上腺素能受体(β2-AR)Gln27Glu多态性在心血管疾病表现中的作用仍不清楚。
在本研究中,我们评估了该受体基因的c.79 C>G(p.Gln27Glu)多态性与沙特阿拉伯人冠状动脉疾病(CAD)及其相关危险因素的潜在相关性。采用两对引物对撞PCR(PCR-CTPP)方法进行基因分型。
在普通人群组(BD)(n = 895)中,68.5%为纯合野生型C/C,28.3%为杂合子C/G,3.2%为纯合突变型G/G。在CAD患者(n = 773)中,50.6%为纯合野生型C/C,43.6%为杂合子C/G,5.8%为纯合突变型G/G,而在血管造影对照组(CON)(n = 528)中,71.8%为C/C基因型,24.4%为C/G基因型,3.8%为G/G基因型。这些结果表明,与CON组相比,C/G(p≤0.001)和G/G(p = 0.005)基因型均与CAD显著相关。此外,与BD组相比,C/G(p≤0.001)和G/G(p≤0.001)也与CAD显著相关。此外,逐步逻辑回归显示,基因型[C/G(p < 0.001)和G/G(p < 0.001)]增加了CAD风险。
这些结果表明,β2-AR的Gln27Glu基因型(纯合或杂合)可能是严重CAD的独立预测因子。
