Association between Apo B, LDL-R and PCSK9 gene polymorphisms with coronary artery diseases in Egyptians. Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:752. [PMID: 38874786 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-024-09607-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have focused on the significance of lipid regulatory genes in the pathophysiology of Coronary artery disease (CAD). ApoB XbaI (rs693) and EcoRI (rs1042031) single nucleoid polymorphisms (SNPs) were investigated to detect whether they are risk factors for CAD. Till now, this association remains uncertain. SMARCA4 (rs1122608) SNP has directly related to dyslipidemia. Loss of function mutations (LOF) in PCSK9 result in a reduction in LDL cholesterol and are associated with protection from the development of CAD. METHODS This study was conducted on 54 CAD patients who were admitted at Internal Medicine Specialized Hospital (Cardiology Department) and 47 healthy controls. Peripheral blood samples were taken from both groups. DNA was extracted from EDTA-blood samples, then PCR- RFLP for ApoB XbaI (rs693) and EcoRI (rs1042031), SMARCA4 (rs1122608) and PCSK9 (rs505151) SNPs was done. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was found between patients and controls as regard EcoRI SNP. XbaI (rs693) X + X + genotype was significantly higher in control group (P = 0.0355). SMARCA4 (TT, GT + TT) genotypes, and T allele (P < 0.001); PCSK9 AG genotype and G allele (P = 0.027 and 0.032 respectively) were more frequent in CAD patients than controls. CONCLUSION SMARCA4 (rs1122608) and PCSK9 (rs505151) SNPs are significantly accompanying with the risk of CAD development in the Egyptian population. X + X + genotype appeared to have a protective effect against CAD. However, no observed association between EcoRI (rs1042031) and the risk of CAD development was found.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is when a blood clot in the coronary artery obstructs blood flow to a specific part of the heart, leading to the death of myocardium in that area. The development of MI is influenced by various environmental factors, genetic components, and their interactions, even though the exact cause has not been fully established. This is the first case-control study examining the possible association between the human Apo B gene and MI in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The study included 100 patients and 50 healthy individuals. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples using manual extraction methods. Subsequently, primers were optimized, and genotyping was performed using PCR, followed by DNA sequencing and RFLP analysis. The research focused on two specific APO B gene SNPs, codon 4154 G/A (rs1801701) and codon 2488 G/A (rs1042031). Both SNPs involved the substitution of guanine with adenine. It was found that individuals carrying the minor allele A of SNP rs1801701 (p < 0.001) and the minor allele A of rs1042031 (p < 0.001) had a significantly higher risk of developing MI. Additionally, haplotype analysis revealed that the AA haplotype (comprising both rs1801701 and rs1042031 SNPs) was associated with a substantially increased risk of MI (OR = 3.845). In conclusion, the study provides evidence supporting the association between specific mutations in the APOB gene and the risk of myocardial infarction in the Pakistani population.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the association between apolipoprotein B gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease in some populations at home and abroad by means of meta-analysis. Methods Using the strict exclusion criteria for primary screening of the literature and applying the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to test the genetic balance of the selected literature. The corresponding models were selected according to the results of the heterogeneity test. The Begg’s test and Egger’s test were used to evaluate publication bias, and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0. Results The study included twelve articles. In the literature, a total of 1596 patients with coronary heart disease and 1431 controls.Meta-analysis results showed no statistical value in the following three genetic models: allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.811,OR = 0.95, 95%CI = 0.62–1.46), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.86,OR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.45–1.96), or dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.73,OR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.58–1.47). Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity showed allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.464,OR = 1.32, 95%CI = 0.63–2.78), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.422,OR = 1.52, 95%CI = 0.55–4.21), and dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.551,OR = 1.26, 95%CI = 0.58–2.73) in Asians, allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.410,OR = 0.79, 95%CI = 0.45–1.39), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.041,OR = 0.75,95%CI = 0.57–0.99),dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.385,OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.40–1.43) in Caucasian; Conclusion The ApoB(apolipoprotein B) XbaI locus is not a risk factor when it comes to the development of coronary heart disease in the domestic and international populations included in this paper. In Caucasians, people carrying the aa genotype may be less susceptible to CHD (coronary heart disease). The results of recessive genetic models have to take the effect of heterogeneity and sample sizes into account. Further research may require a larger and more rigorous research design.

Lipids Health Dis 2017; 16:166. [PMID: 28874158 PMCID: PMC5586014 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-017-0558-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2017] [Accepted: 08/31/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations of the apolipoprotein B gene (APOB) rs693 and rs17240441 polymorphisms with plasma levels of APOB and lipids have been widely explored, but the results were inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify the associations of the rs693 and rs17240441 polymorphisms with fasting APOB and lipid levels. METHODS Sixty-one studies (50,018 subjects) and 23 studies (8425 subjects) were respectively identified for the rs693 and rs17240441 polymorphisms by searching in PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, VIP and CNKI databases. The following information was collected for each study: first author, age, gender, ethnicity, health condition, sample size, genotyping, lipid assay method, mean and standard deviation or standard error of APOB and lipid variables by genotypes. A dominant model was used for this meta-analysis. RESULTS The carriers of the rs693 variant allele (T) had higher levels of APOB [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.16-0.36, P < 0.01], triglycerides (TG) (SMD = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.05-0.20, P < 0.01), total cholesterol (TC) (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.17-0.30, P < 0.01) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.14-0.30, P < 0.01), and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (SMD = -0.06, 95% CI = -0.11-0.01, P = 0.01) than the non-carriers. The carriers of the rs17240441 deletion allele had higher levels of APOB (SMD = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.06-0.20, P < 0.01), TC (SMD = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.07-0.26, P < 0.01) and LDL-C (SMD = 0.15, 95% CI = 0.07-0.23, P < 0.01) than the non-carriers. CONCLUSIONS The rs693 polymorphism is significantly associated with higher levels of APOB, TG, TC and LDL-C, and lower levels of HDL-C. The rs17240441 polymorphism is significantly associated with higher levels of APOB, TC and LDL-C. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study was carried out to examine the association between apolipoprotein B (ApoB) EcoRI polymorphism (E- vs. E+) (rs1042031) and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by systematically analyzing multiple independent studies. METHODS The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test was applied to assess genotype frequency distribution in healthy controls. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Power analysis was performed with Power and Precision V4 software. A fixed effect model was used because no deviation from homogeneity was found. Publication bias was quantified and examined with Begg's funnel plot test and Egger's linear regression method. The meta-analysis was performed by Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS A total of 21 eligible association studies were merged in this meta-analysis and the pooled sample consisted of 2994 CHD patients and 3258 healthy controls. No significant publication bias and heterogeneity were observed in these studies. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of E- vs. E+ were 1.18 (1.06-1.32). The pooled OR (95% CI) of E+ E- + E- E- vs. E+ E+ was 1.18 (1.04-1.34). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicated that ApoB EcoRI confers a moderate risk for CHD and the E- allele at this locus might be a susceptibility allele for the development of CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene have been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the results on this topic are conflicting. The present study aims to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between CHD and apoB genetic polymorphisms by meta-analysis. METHODS We identified a total of 54 studies involving 7236, 10,912, and 14,102 individuals, respectively, for EcoRI, XbaI, and SpIns/Del polymorphisms by searching in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, and CNKI. We utilized RevMan 5.0 software to perform the meta-analyses. RESULTS A significant statistical association between apoB EcoRI polymorphism and CHD was observed under an allelic (p = 0.001, odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12-1.57), dominant (p = 0.005, OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06-1.40), and recessive (p = 0.04, OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.01-1.74) model. We also found similar association of apoB SpIns/Del polymorphism with CHD. However, we did not find association between apoB XbaI polymorphism and CHD. CONCLUSION The current meta-analysis found an association of EcoRI polymorphism and SpIns/Del polymorphism with an increased risk of CHD. No significant association between apoB XbaI polymorphism and CHD we observed in the present study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have identified APOB as a candidate gene predisposing individuals to dyslipidemia. Polymorphisms including the signal peptide (rs11279109), codon 2488 XbaI (rs1042031), codon 3611 MspI (rs693), codon 4154 EcoRI (rs1801701) and the 3' variable number of tandem repeats have been reported to be associated with dyslipidemia in several populations. With limited studies on Arabs, this study aimed to investigate the genetic association of APOB polymorphisms and assess the potential influence of minor and rare alleles on serum lipid levels in the Kuwaiti population. METHODS A total of 795 Kuwaiti subjects, documented with phenotypic data and fasting serum lipid levels, were genotyped for the five polymorphisms using PCR, PCR-RFLP and gene fragment analysis. Genotype and allele association with variation in serum lipid levels as well as haplotypes were analyzed using chi-square test, univariate and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Analysis of the genotype and allele frequencies distribution revealed a significant positive association between the APOB signal peptide and 3611 MspI polymorphisms with increased levels of triglycerides (statistical power of 80%). Haplotype analysis further supported the findings by showing that carriers of haplotypes (IX-M-E+M) had significantly lower mean (SD) TG levels (0.86 ± 0.07) as compared to non-carriers (1.01 ± 0.02). Significance was also observed with regards to positive family history of hypercholesterolemia. CONCLUSION The results imply a "protective role" for two alleles (rs11279109 and rs1801701) in which logistic regression analysis showed a significant half-fold decrease in the risk for heterozygotes of rs11279109 and an 8.8 fold decrease in the risk for homozygous M-M- of rs1801701 of having lower TG levels (<1.70 mmol/L) in individuals. This suggests that genetic interaction between various polymorphisms at different gene loci act in linkage disequilibrium to affect serum TG levels. Apo B genotyping may be a useful adjunct for the identification of individuals at risk of developing dyslipidemia in order to provide them with lifestyle modifications and/or pharmacological intervention to mitigate the effects of gene interaction and environmental influence.

Abstract
Allele frequencies at six RFLP sites (Ins/Del, ApaLI, AluI, XbaI, MspI, and EcoRI) of the apolipoprotein B gene (APOB) and the relationship of genotypes with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in the Mongolian Buryat were investigated. Common alleles at these sites in 110 Buryat subjects were I, G, A-, X-, M+, and E+; the frequencies of 0.809-0.991 differed strikingly from those of a few Asians and most Europeans. Five unambiguous haplotypes of all sites were revealed at 74%; haplotype IGA-X-M+E+ (000000) was the most frequent (67%), followed by IGA+X-M+E+ (001000) (19%). The frequency constitution differed significantly from the Chinese, Malaysians, and Caucasians but resembled the Indians. No APOB polymorphisms were associated with cholesterol levels (total, HDL and LDL). Significant associations of genotypes were shown with the triglyceride level only at the AluI and XbaI sites. The lipid level of A-A+ females or X-X+ males was higher than that of A-A- females or X-X- males, respectively.

Abstract
The search for common genetic determinants of plasma lipoproteins began in the early 1980s. Despite some exceptions, these efforts have not yet yielded a set of biological markers that can be used in clinical practice. By contrast, successes in defining the molecular basis of rare single-gene disorders, such as familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia, have shown the value of experimental designs that focus on genomic analysis of individuals within the tails of Gaussian distributions of quantitative lipoprotein traits. For example, this strategy showed that a small but relevant proportion of individuals within the <5% tail of plasma HDL-cholesterol distribution have mutations in genes that cause familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia. The value of clinical testing for genomic variants as an adjunct to a biochemical measurement of plasma lipoproteins, however, is at best questionable. A more direct impact of genetic studies is that definitions of 'common' and 'large genetic effects' have become more tempered, reflecting perhaps the biological reality that plasma lipoproteins are probably determined by the aggregate of numerous modest and occasional large genetic effects in addition to environmental factors. Here, we review recent progress on genomic variants and cholesterol metabolism, and discuss the impact these genetic studies will have on clinical cardiology.
