Vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). As vitamin D manifests its biological function through its vitamin D receptor (VDR), VDR gene polymorphisms potentially affect VDR functionality and vitamin D activity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze three well-studied VDR gene polymorphisms-Fok1 (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410) and Taq1 (rs731236)-in a cohort of CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction.
In the presented cross-sectional study, 155 participants with CAD after acute myocardial infarction and 104 participants in a control group without CAD were enrolled. The participants in both groups were Caucasians of European origin. The genotyping of VDR polymorphisms rs2228570, rs1544410 and rs731236 was assessed by RT-PCR.
The results show an association between the T/T genotype of the BsmI (rs1544410) and the G/G genotype of the Taq1 (rs731236) VDR polymorphism and CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction. There was no association between the Fok1 (rs2228570) VDR polymorphism and CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction.
The presented results suggest a potential association of the BsmI (rs1544410) and Taq1 (rs731236) VDR polymorphisms with CAD patients after myocardial infarction.
维生素 D 缺乏与心血管疾病有关,包括冠心病(CAD)。由于维生素 D 通过其维生素 D 受体(VDR)发挥生物学功能,VDR 基因多态性可能影响 VDR 功能和维生素 D 活性。因此,本研究旨在分析 CAD 患者急性心肌梗死后三种研究充分的 VDR 基因多态性-Fok1(rs2228570)、BsmI(rs1544410)和 Taq1(rs731236)。
在这项横断面研究中,纳入了 155 名 CAD 患者(急性心肌梗死后)和 104 名 CAD 对照组患者。两组参与者均为欧洲裔白种人。通过 RT-PCR 检测 VDR 多态性 rs2228570、rs1544410 和 rs731236 的基因分型。
结果显示,BsmI(rs1544410)T/T 基因型和 Taq1(rs731236)G/G 基因型与急性心肌梗死后 CAD 患者之间存在关联。Fok1(rs2228570)VDR 多态性与急性心肌梗死后 CAD 患者之间无关联。
本研究结果提示 BsmI(rs1544410)和 Taq1(rs731236)VDR 多态性与急性心肌梗死后 CAD 患者存在潜在关联。
