Heart failure remains a global health burden, and patients hospitalized are particularly at risk, but genetic associates for subsequent death or rehospitalization are still lacking.
The genetic substudy of the ASCEND-HF trial (Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Decompensated Heart Failure) was used to perform genome-wide association study and transethnic meta-analysis. The overall trial included the patients of self-reported European ancestry (n=2173) and African ancestry (n=507). The end point was death or heart failure rehospitalization within 180 days. Cox models adjusted for 11 a priori predictors of rehospitalization and 5 genetic principal components were used to test the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and outcome. Summary statistics from the 2 populations were combined via meta-analysis with the significance threshold considered <5×10.
Common variants (rs2342882 and rs35850039 in complete linkage disequilibrium) located in were significantly associated with the primary outcome in both ancestry groups (European Americans: hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; =2.42×10; African ancestry: HR, 1.51; =4.43×10; HR in meta-analysis, 1.41; =4.25×10). encodes a regulator of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)-mediated angiogenesis, and in silico investigation revealed several previous genome-wide association study hits in this gene, among which rs748431 was associated with our outcome (HR, 1.20; meta <0.01). Sensitivity analysis proved common variants survival association did not appear to operate via coronary artery disease or nesiritide treatment (>0.05); and the signal was still significant when changing the censoring time from 180 to 30 days (HR, 1.39; =1.59×10).
In this multiethnic genome-wide association study of ASCEND-HF, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in were associated with increased risk of death or rehospitalization. Additional investigation is required to examine biological mechanisms and whether could be a therapeutic target.

心力衰竭仍然是全球健康负担,住院患者尤其面临风险,但随后死亡或再住院的遗传相关性仍不清楚。
ASCEND-HF 试验(急性心力衰竭中奈西立肽临床疗效的研究)的遗传子研究用于进行全基因组关联研究和跨种族荟萃分析。整个试验包括报告有欧洲血统(n=2173)和非洲血统(n=507)的患者。终点为 180 天内死亡或心力衰竭再住院。使用调整了再住院 11 个先验预测因子和 5 个遗传主成分的 Cox 模型来检验单核苷酸多态性与结果之间的关联。通过荟萃分析合并来自 2 个群体的汇总统计数据,显著阈值<5×10。
位于 (血管内皮生长因子介导的血管生成调节剂)的常见变体(完全连锁不平衡的 rs2342882 和 rs35850039)在两个血统组中与主要结果显著相关(欧洲裔美国人:危险比 [HR],1.38;=2.42×10;非洲裔美国人:HR,1.51;=4.43×10;荟萃分析中的 HR,1.41;=4.25×10)。 编码 VEGF(血管内皮生长因子)介导的血管生成调节剂,体内研究显示该基因中存在多个先前的全基因组关联研究命中,其中 rs748431 与我们的结果相关(HR,1.20;荟萃分析<0.01)。敏感性分析表明,常见变体的生存关联似乎并非通过冠状动脉疾病或奈西立肽治疗(>0.05)发挥作用;当将截止时间从 180 天更改为 30 天时,信号仍然显著(HR,1.39;=1.59×10)。
在 ASCEND-HF 的这项多民族全基因组关联研究中,位于 的单核苷酸多态性与死亡或再住院风险增加相关。需要进一步研究以检查生物学机制以及 是否可以成为治疗靶点。
