To characterized the gene polymorphisms of connexin 40 (cx40) and angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R) in Chongming adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to explore their relationships with AF.
82 patients with AF, and 82 subjects without AF were enrolled. Polymorphisms of cx40 G-44A and AT1 A1166C were detected. Moreover, several samples were randomly selected to validate the gene polymorphisms of cx40 and AT1.
Genotypes AA, AG and GG of cx40 G-44A were found in both AF patients and controls. The frequencies of genotypes AA, AG and GG were 39%, 29% and 32%, respectively, in AF patients and 31%, 35% and 34%, respectively in controls. The frequencies of alleles A and G were 54% and 46%, respectively in AF patients and 48% and 52%, respectively, in controls (P < 0.05). The risk for AF in patients with allele A increased 1.31 times (OR = 1.31, P < 0.05). The frequencies of genotypes AA, AC and CC were 88%, 8% and 4%, respectively in AF patients and 93%, 6% and 1%, respectively in controls. The frequencies of alleles A and C were 92% and 8%, respectively in AF patients and 96% and 4%, respectively in controls (P < 0.05). More AF patients had allele C as compared to controls. The risk for AF increased by 1.43 times in patients with allele C (OR = 1.43, P < 0.05).
There were relationships between gene polymorphisms of cx40 and AT1 and AF in Chongming adults. Allele A of cx40 G-44A and allele C of AT1 A1166C significantly increase the risk for AF.
对崇明地区成年心房颤动(AF)患者的连接蛋白40(cx40)和血管紧张素II 1型受体(AT1R)基因多态性进行特征分析,并探讨它们与心房颤动的关系。
纳入82例心房颤动患者和82例非心房颤动受试者。检测cx40 G-44A和AT1 A1166C的多态性。此外,随机选择若干样本验证cx40和AT1的基因多态性。
在心房颤动患者和对照组中均发现了cx40 G-44A的AA、AG和GG基因型。AA、AG和GG基因型频率在心房颤动患者中分别为39%、29%和32%,在对照组中分别为31%、35%和34%。等位基因A和G的频率在心房颤动患者中分别为54%和46%,在对照组中分别为48%和52%(P<0.05)。携带等位基因A的患者发生心房颤动的风险增加1.31倍(OR=1.31,P<0.05)。AA、AC和CC基因型频率在心房颤动患者中分别为88%、8%和4%,在对照组中分别为93%、6%和1%。等位基因A和C的频率在心房颤动患者中分别为92%和8%,在对照组中分别为96%和4%(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,更多的心房颤动患者携带等位基因C。携带等位基因C的患者发生心房颤动的风险增加1.43倍(OR=1.43,P<0.05)。
崇明地区成年人心房颤动与cx40和AT1基因多态性之间存在关联。cx40 G-44A的等位基因A和AT1 A1166C的等位基因C显著增加心房颤动风险。
