Genotyping of ST2 and galectin-3 in atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well analyzed. The aim of our study was to analyze the possible relationship between levels of sST2 and galectin-3 and three polymorphisms in patients with AF. We included 125 patients with persistent AF undergoing electric cardioversion. We analyzed sST2 and galectin-3 levels and three polymorphisms in peripheral blood samples. Rs2274273 was significantly related with levels of galectin-3. Rs1558648 was associated with levels of sST2 but rs13019803 were not. None of the polymorphisms were connected to the variation of biomarkers levels during the follow up. We found a relationship between rs2274273 and galectin-3 levels and rs1558648 and sST2 levels in patients with AF.
ST2 和半乳糖凝集素-3 的基因分型在心房颤动 (AF) 中分析得还不够完善。我们的研究目的是分析 AF 患者中 sST2 和半乳糖凝集素-3 水平与三种基因多态性之间的可能关系。我们纳入了 125 例接受电复律的持续性 AF 患者。我们分析了外周血样本中的 sST2 和半乳糖凝集素-3 水平和三种基因多态性。rs2274273 与半乳糖凝集素-3 水平显著相关。rs1558648 与 sST2 水平相关,但 rs13019803 不相关。在随访期间,没有任何多态性与生物标志物水平的变化有关。我们发现 AF 患者中 rs2274273 与半乳糖凝集素-3 水平之间以及 rs1558648 与 sST2 水平之间存在关系。
