The association of TGF beta1 polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF) in essential hypertensive (EH) subjects remains unknown. Methods EH subjects with AF (EH+AF+) and sinus rhythm (EH+AF-) were enrolled. The polymorphisms of +869 T --> C at codon 10 and + 915 G --> C at codon 25, were genotyped. The clinical characteristics including serum TGF beta1 levels were detected.
The GG genotypes of TGF beta1 +915 G --> C at codon 25 were more prevalent in subjects from EH+AF+ group than those from EH+AF- group (P = 0.009). The subjects with GG genotype from EH+AF+ group had the highest mean serum TGF beta1 level, which was significantly higher than that of GG genotype subjects from EH+AF- group (3.18 +/- 0.24 ng/dl vs.2.29 +/- 0.14 ng/dl, P < 0.05). Multiple analyses revealed that the TGF beta1 GG genotype of +915 G --> C at codon 25 presented a 3.09 times higher risk in developing AF in the multivariate model after adjusting for age and gender.
The polymorphisms of TGF beta1 +915 G --> C at codon 25 were associated with occurrence of AF and serum TGF beta1 level in EH subjects.
转化生长因子β 1 (TGFβ1)多态性与原发性高血压(EH)患者心房颤动(AF)的关系尚不清楚。
选择 AF 伴 EH(EH+AF+)和窦性心律伴 EH(EH+AF-)患者,检测 TGFβ1+869T>C 密码子 10 和+915G>C 密码子 25 多态性,分析 TGFβ1 血清水平与 AF 的关系。
EH+AF+组 TGFβ1+915G>C 密码子 25 的 GG 基因型比 EH+AF-组更常见(P=0.009)。EH+AF+组 GG 基因型患者的 TGFβ1 血清水平最高,明显高于 EH+AF-组(3.18±0.24ng/dl 比 2.29±0.14ng/dl,P<0.05)。多变量分析显示,在调整年龄和性别后,TGFβ1+915G>C 密码子 25 的 GG 基因型在多变量模型中使 AF 发生的风险增加 3.09 倍。
TGFβ1+915G>C 密码子 25 多态性与 EH 患者 AF 的发生和 TGFβ1 血清水平有关。
