Previous studies suggested that genetic polymorphisms of serum amyloid A (SAA) were associated with carotid atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of SAA and myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed a polymorphism (rs12218) in the SAA1 gene in 840 MI patients and 840 healthy subjects by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. We found that the rs12218 CC+CT genotype was more frequent among MI patients than among healthy controls (61.1% vs 41.9%; P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that after adjustment for gender, age, smoking, drinking, hypertension, and diabetes, the difference remained significant (P < 0.001, odds ratio = 3.332, 95% confidence interval = 1.781-9.231). Therefore, we concluded that genetic polymorphisms of SAA1 may be a genetic marker of MI in the Chinese population.
先前的研究表明,血清淀粉样蛋白A(SAA)的基因多态性与颈动脉粥样硬化有关。然而,SAA基因多态性与心肌梗死(MI)之间的关系仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法,分析了840例MI患者和840例健康受试者SAA1基因中的一个多态性位点(rs12218)。我们发现,rs12218 CC+CT基因型在MI患者中的频率高于健康对照者(61.1%对41.9%;P<0.001)。多因素回归分析显示,在对性别、年龄、吸烟、饮酒、高血压和糖尿病进行校正后,差异仍然显著(P<0.001,比值比=3.332,95%置信区间=1.781-9.231)。因此,我们得出结论,SAA1基因多态性可能是中国人群MI的一个遗传标志物。
