HHIPL-1 (rs2895811) gene polymorphism is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and cardiometabolic parameters in Mexicans patients with myocardial infarction.

Several studies have reported the role of hedgehog interacting protein-like 1 (HHIPL-1) in different pathologies, including cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to analyze the association of HHIPL-1 (rs2895811) polymorphism with myocardial infarction (MI), cardiometabolic parameters, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors in the Mexican population. The polymorphism was genotyped using a TaqMan assay in 1023 patients with MI and 1105 controls. A similar distribution of the polymorphism was observed between studied groups. However, in patients group, the C allele was associated with a decreased risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 0.757, P = 0.030, OR = 0.685, P = 0.020, OR = 0.691, P = 0.030), metabolic syndrome (OR = 0.746, P = 0.030, OR = 0.647, P = 0.005, OR = 0.670, P = 0.015, OR = 0.637, P = 0.005), and insulin resistance (OR = 0.681, P = 0.045). The results suggest that HHIPL-1 rs2895811 polymorphism is associated with cardiometabolic parameters in Mexican patients with MI.
