NFKB1 Gene Mutant Was Associated with Prognosis of Coronary Artery Disease and Exacerbated Endothelial Mitochondrial Fission and Dysfunction. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9494926. [PMID: 36317060 PMCID: PMC9617727 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9494926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Endothelial apoptosis is the core pathological change in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD). Determining the molecular mechanisms underlying endothelial apoptosis is important. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a crucial transcription factor for controlling apoptosis. Our previous study demonstrated that the -94 ATTG ins/del mutant in the promoter of NFKB1 gene (rs28362491) is a risk factor for CAD. In the present study, we found that NFKB1 rs28362491 polymorphism was positively associated with increased major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in CAD patients. After adjusting for confounding factors including age, smoking, hypertension, glucose, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the mutant DD genotype was an independent predictor of MACCEs (OR = 2.578, 95%CI = 1.64–4.05, P = 0.003). The in vitro study showed that mutant human umbilical vein endothelial cells (DD-mutant HUVECs) were more susceptible to high-glucose/palmitate-induced apoptosis, which was accompanied by decreased p50 expression and increased expression of cleaved caspase-3, Cytochrome c, and phospho-p65 (P < 0.05). The mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly lower, while increasing levels of mtROS and more opening of the mPTP were observed in DD-mutant HUVECs (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the percentage of cells with fragmented or spherical mitochondria was significantly higher in DD-mutant HUVECs than in wild-type cells (genotype II HUVECs) (P < 0.05). In addition, after stimulation with high glucose/palmitate, the NFKB1 gene mutant significantly increased the expression of Drp1, which indicated that the NFKB1 gene mutant affected the expression of mitochondrial morphology-related proteins, leading to excessive mitochondrial fission. In conclusion, the mutant DD genotype of the NFKB1 gene was an independent predictor of worse long-term prognosis for CAD patients. DD-mutant HUVECs exhibited abnormal activation of the NF-κB pathway and increased Drp1 expression, which caused excessive mitochondrial fission and dysfunction, ultimately leading to increased apoptosis.

RUSSIAN OPEN MEDICAL JOURNAL 2022. [DOI: 10.15275/rusomj.2022.0311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/objective — The goal of our study was to investigate the role of interaction between the polymorphic loci of immune response mediator genes (TNFA rs1800629, LTA rs909253, IL1B rs16944, IL2-IL21 rs6822844, IL2RA rs2104286, IL6 rs1800795, IL10 rs1800872, MIF rs755622, CTLA4 rs3087243, NFKB1 rs28362491, PTPN22 rs2476601, and PADI4 rs2240336) in the formation of a genetic predisposition to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Material and Methods — The study involved 330 JIA patients and 342 volunteers from the Republic of Bashkortostan. Genotyping was conducted via the real-time polymerase chain reaction. The gene-gene interactions were studied using the multifactor dimensionality reduction algorithm. Results — In general analysis, the best model of gene-gene interaction in JIA was a combination of IL1B rs16944 – IL10 rs1800872 – NFKB1 rs28362491 – PADI4 rs2240336 polymorphic loci. However, after gender-based stratification the best results were obtained when examining the combinations of IL6 rs1800795 – PADI4 rs2240336 loci in girls and of IL10 rs1800872 – IL6 rs1800795 – IL2RA rs2104286 loci in boys. Within all of these models, the genotype combinations associated with both augmented and reduced JIA risks were identified (taking into account gender-specific differences). Conclusion — The results of our study implied that an important role in the formation of a predisposition to JIA is played by gene-gene interactions of IL1B rs16944, IL2RA rs2104286, IL6 rs1800795, IL10 rs1800872, NFKB1 rs28362491, and PADI4 rs2240336 polymorphic loci (taking into account gender-specific differences).

[PMID: 35831800 PMCID: PMC9281072 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02755-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported that NFKB1 gene rs28362491 polymorphism was associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease in populations of different genetic backgrounds. To date, there have been no studies on the association between NFKB1 gene rs28362491 polymorphism and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE). The present study was to explore the relationship between NFKB1 gene rs28362491 polymorphism and MACCEs to investigate whether identifying NFKB1 gene polymorphism is beneficial to evaluating MACCE risks and patients' prognoses. METHODS We recruited 257 high-risk of cardiovascular disease patients with chest pain or precordial discomfort. The SNPscan™ were used to analyze the NFKB1 gene rs28362491 polymorphism. All patients were followed up in the clinic or by telephone interview for MACCEs. RESULTS During the followed-up time (mean: 30.1 months) 49 patients had MACCEs (19.1%). Patients with the different genotypes of NFKB1 rs28362491 had different incidence rate of MACCE. The incidence of MACCE in patients carried II, ID and DD genotype was 16.5%, 15.9%, 32.6%, respectively. Log-rank analysis showed that the survival rate in patients with NFKB1 rs28362491 DD genotype was much lower than that in II or ID genotype carriers (P = 0.034). After excluding the influence of traditional risk factors of MACCEs, Cox regression showed that the DD genotype carriers had 2.294-fold relative risk of MACCEs comparing with patients carried II or ID genotype. CONCLUSION The NFKB1 gene rs28362491 mutant was an independent predictor of worse long-term prognosis for MACCEs. Therefore, identifying NFKB1 gene rs28362491 mutant may be used as a good way for guiding the standardized management of patients with high-risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Influence of Polymorphism on the NFkB1 Gene (rs28362491) on the Susceptibility to Sarcopenia in the Elderly of the Brazilian Amazon. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11101045. [PMID: 34683186 PMCID: PMC8537608 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11101045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by progressive reduction in muscle mass and strength or function. Although it is known that sarcopenia may be associated with environmental factors, studies suggest the identification of genes related to skeletal muscle maintenance that explain the susceptibility to the disease. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of NFkB1 gene polymorphism on susceptibility to sarcopenia in the elderly. METHODS This is a case-control study, which included 219 elderly people, 74 elderly people with sarcopenia, and 145 without sarcopenia. Samples were analyzed for NFkB1 gene polymorphism (rs28362491), genotyped in PCR, and followed by fragment analysis. To avoid misinterpretation due to population substructure, we applied a previously developed set of 61 informative ancestral markers that were genotyped by multiplex PCR. We used logistic regression to identify differences in genotypic frequencies between elderly people with and without sarcopenia. RESULTS It was observed that the NFkB1 gene polymorphism presented frequencies of 24%, 50%, and 26% for the genotype DEL/DEL, DEL/INS, and INS/INS, respectively. Furthermore, elderly individuals with the INS/INS genotype had increased chances (p = 0.010; OR:2.943; 95%CI:1.301-6.654) for the development of sarcopenia. CONCLUSION The INDEL polymorphism of the NFkB1 gene (rs28362491) may influence the susceptibility to sarcopenia in the elderly in elderly people in the Amazon.

Abstract
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 has affected all aspects of human society with a special focus on healthcare. Although older patients with preexisting chronic illnesses are more prone to develop severe complications, younger, healthy individuals might also exhibit serious manifestations. Previous studies directed to detect genetic susceptibility factors for earlier epidemics have provided evidence of certain protective variations. Following SARS-CoV-2 exposure, viral entry into cells followed by recognition and response by the innate immunity are key determinants of COVID-19 development. In the present review our aim was to conduct a thorough review of the literature on the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as key agents affecting the viral entry of SARS-CoV-2 and innate immunity. Several SNPs within the scope of our approach were found to alter susceptibility to various bacterial and viral infections. Additionally, a multitude of studies confirmed genetic associations between the analyzed genes and autoimmune diseases, underlining the versatile immune consequences of these variants. Based on confirmed associations it is highly plausible that the SNPs affecting viral entry and innate immunity might confer altered susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its complex clinical consequences. Anticipating several COVID-19 genomic susceptibility loci based on the ongoing genome wide association studies, our review also proposes that a well-established polygenic risk score would be able to clinically leverage the acquired knowledge.

NFKB1 gene rs28362491 ins/del variation is associated with higher susceptibility to myocardial infarction in a Chinese Han population. Sci Rep 2020; 10:19518. [PMID: 33177541 PMCID: PMC7658993 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-72877-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, is a disease in which multiple environmental and genetic factors are involved. Recently, researches suggested that insertion/deletion (ins/del) variation of NFKB1 gene rs28362491 is a functional polymorphism. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relation between variation of NFKB1 gene rs28362491 and MI by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 359 MI patients and 1085 control participants. Gensini score was used to evaluate the degree of coronary artery stenosis in MI patients. The plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, malonaldehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were randomly measured by ELISA both in MI patients and control participants. We found that the detected frequencies of D allele (41.2% vs. 36.4%, P = 0.021) and DD genotype (17.5% vs. 12.0%, P = 0.022) were significantly higher in MI patients than in control participants. Compared with II or ID genotype carriers, the Gensini score in MI patients with DD genotype was 32-43% higher (both P < 0.001). Moreover, DD genotype carries had more diseased coronary arteries (P = 0.001 vs. II or ID genotype). Of note, IL-6 levels in MI patients carrying DD genotype were significantly higher than that in control participants and other genotype carriers in MI patients (both P < 0.05). In conclusion, NFKB1 gene rs28362491 DD genotype was associated with a higher risk of MI and more severe coronary artery lesion, which also had a potential influence on the level of inflammatory cytokine IL-6.

Materials and methods The study included 274 JIA patients from the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. Achieving the American College of Rheumatology Pediatric 30 (ACR Pedi 30) response was regarded as the presence of the response to methotrexate (otherwise, as the absence), while achieving clinical remission on medication (Wallace et al., 2011) - as the sufficient response (otherwise, as the insufficient). Genotyping was conducted by the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results Associations with an altered risk of the nonresponse to methotrexate in JIA were observed for the alleles/genotypes of the lociIL10 rs1800872 (in girls) and NFKB1 rs28362491 (in girls); with an altered risk of the insufficient response to methotrexate in JIA – for the alleles/genotypes of the loci IL1B rs16944 (in boys), CTLA4 rs3087243 (in boys), NFKB1 rs28362491 (in girls) and the haplotype TNFA rs1800629*A - LTA rs909253*G (in girls). Conclusion As a result of the study, the relationship of the alleles/genotypes of the IL1B rs16944, IL10 rs1800872, CTLA4 rs3087243, NFKB1 rs28362491 polymorphic lociand the TNFA rs1800629*A - LTA rs909253*G haplotype with the methotrexate efficacy in JIA was established (taking into account the differences by sex).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of rs28362491 polymorphism in NF-κB1 gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk was reported in several studies with inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively collect and synthesize the existing evidence to appraise whether rs28362491 was correlated to CAD susceptibility. METHODS Databases of Web of Science, EMBASE, PubMed, Wanfang, and CNKI were retrieved from inception to August 1, 2019 without any restriction on language. The strengths of association between rs28362491 polymorphism and CAD were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Thirteen case-control studies with 17 individual cohorts containing 9378 cases and 10,738 controls were incorporated into this meta-analysis. The findings indicated that rs28362491 polymorphism was significantly correlated to CAD risk in five genetic models: D vs. I, OR = 1.16, 95%CI 1.11-1.21, P<0.01; DD vs. II, OR = 1.37, 95%CI 1.25-1.49, P<0.01; DI vs. II, OR = 1.11, 95%CI 1.05-1.18, P<0.01; DD + DI vs. II, OR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.11-1.24, P<0.01; DD vs. DI + II, OR = 1.29, 95%CI 1.15-1.43, P<0.01. After stratification by ethnicity and gender, significant association still existed between rs28362491 and CAD, especially in the dominant model. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that the mutant D allele in rs28362491 locus may increase the risk of CAD, and carriers of D allele appear to be more susceptible to CAD.

Abstract
Male reproductive impairment is responsible for at least 50% of cases of couple infertility. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) has been functionally linked to germ cell apoptosis, which may affect human fertility. The aim of this study was to determine the association between the rs28362491 SNP of the NF-κB1 gene and infertility in Egyptian men. In this case-control study, semen and blood samples of 247 infertile men, constituting the case group, and of 113 fertile healthy men as the control group were analysed. All study participants were genotyped for polymorphism of the NF-κB1 gene (rs28362491) by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Heterozygous I/D genotype of the NF-κB1 rs28362491 polymorphism was associated with a significantly lower risk of poor semen quality, including asthenozoospermia, astheno-teratozoospermia, and oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia, when compared to I/I genotype (odds ratio = 0.25, 0.26, 0.18, p < .0005, <.0005, <.0005) respectively. Overall, the presence of the D allele was associated with a significantly decreased risk of poor sperm quality as compared to the I allele (odds ratio = 0.56, 0.64, 0.49, p = .050, .038, .001). In conclusion, these results suggest that heterozygosity of the NF-κB1 gene may play a protecting role against male infertility in Egyptians.

Abstract
Human gammaherpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the etiologic agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, multicentric Castleman's disease and primary effusion lymphoma. Like other herpesviruses, the HHV-8 may exhibit latent or lytic cycle, both regulated by viral and host factors. Regarding host factors, we analysed the association of polymorphisms in NFkB1 promoter (NFkB1-94 ins/del ATTG) and NFκBIA gene (NFκBIA 3'UTR A→G) with the development of antibodies against latent or lytic antigens from HHV-8. The ins/del [OR 7.9 (95% CI 3.3-19.1), p < 0.001], AG [OR 12.3 (95% CI 4.3-34.9) p < 0.001], GG [OR 9.4 (95% CI 3.2-27.9), p < 0.001], ins/del + AG [OR 94.5 (95% CI 9.6-924.4), <0.0001], ins/del + GG [OR 50.4 (95% CI 5.2-482.2, p < 0.0001] and G allele [OR 3.3 (95% CI 2.0-5.6), p < 0.001] were strongly related with the presence of antibodies to lytic antigens. This is the first association of polymorphisms in NFκB1 promoter and NFκBIA gene with the development of antibodies against HHV-8.

Abstract
AIMS The -94 ATTG insertion/deletion polymorphism (rs28362491) is an important functional polymorphism in the NFKB1 gene. It has been shown that rs28362491 is associated with many diseases. The purpose of this study was to establish a simple and reliable method to detect the ATTG insertion/deletion polymorphism. METHODS On the basis of the amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) method, a single-tube tri-primer ARMS-PCR method was developed to detect the ATTG insertion/deletion polymorphism in 93 samples. The results of the single-tube tri-primer ARMS-PCR method were validated by DNA sequencing. RESULTS After optimization of the PCR conditions, the single-tube tri-primer ARMS-PCR was established to detect the insertion/deletion polymorphism using agarose gel electrophoresis. In 93 volunteers, the genotype frequencies were 30.1% for Ins/Ins, 19.4% for Del/Del, and 50.5% for Ins/Del, respectively. The results of the single-tube tri-primer ARMS-PCR method were consistent with the results of DNA sequencing. CONCLUSIONS This single-tube tri-primer ARMS-PCR is a reliable, simple, and cost-efficient genotyping method for the detection of the ATTG insertion/deletion polymorphism in the NFKB1 gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the human evolutionary history, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) frequencies are valuable in terms of finding connections between different populations. Due to the pronounced role of the immune system in combating pathogens and environmental stressors, polymorphisms in the immune genes are subject to selection pressure of the diseases as well. The functional polymorphisms in NF-κB1 promoter (-94 ins/del) are associated with different diseases; therefore, we aimed to establish the frequencies of NF-κB1 rs28362491 alleles in a population of Southwestern Iranians in comparison with the world populations. METHODS We assessed the polymorphism of -94 ATTG ins/del (rs28362491) in 201 Iranian healthy blood donors from Fars Province, central Iran in a one year period between 2015 and 2016 by PCR-RFLP method using DNA extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS The frequency of ins/ins homozygote genotype was found to be 46.97%. The frequency of heterozygote individuals was 42.42% and the percentage of del/del homozygote genotype was 10.61%. We observed a genetic similarity based on the genotype frequencies of NF-κB1 -94 ins/del ATTG polymorphism between our sample of Iranians with American Jewish, Turkish, American non-Jewish, Chinese-Uyghurs and Germans. CONCLUSION The results confirmed genetic interrelation of Iranians with some ancient neighbors and their admixture with countries along the Silk Road. We suggest that mapping the distribution of NF-κB1-94 ATTG ins/del along with HLA genes may help to better define the relations between human populations and design population-specific vaccines for pathogens with a high rate of variation.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used for treating cardiovascular diseases. Depside salt from S. miltiorrhiza (DSSM) contains the following active components: magnesium lithospermate B, lithospermic acid, and rosmarinic acid. This study aimed to reveal the mechanisms of action of DSSM. After searching for DSSM-associated genes in GeneCards, Search Tool for Interacting Chemicals, SuperTarget, PubChem, and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, they were subjected to enrichment analysis using Multifaceted Analysis Tool for Human Transcriptome. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was visualised; module analysis was conducted using the Cytoscape software. Finally, a transcriptional regulatory network was constructed using the TRRUST database and Cytoscape. Seventy-three DSSM-associated genes were identified. JUN, TNF, NFKB1, and FOS were hub nodes in the PPI network. Modules 1 and 2 were identified from the PPI network, with pathway enrichment analysis, showing that the presence of NFKB1 and BCL2 in module 1 was indicative of a particular association with the NF-κB signalling pathway. JUN, TNF, NFKB1, FOS, and BCL2 exhibited notable interactions among themselves in the PPI network. Several regulatory relationships (such as JUN → TNF/FOS, FOS → NFKB1 and NFKB1 → BCL2/TNF) were also found in the regulatory network. Thus, DSSM exerts effects against cardiovascular diseases by targeting JUN, TNF, NFKB1, FOS, and BCL2.

Abstract
Nuclear factor κappa B (NF-κB) is an important transcription factor in the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent evidence suggests that -94 ATTG ins/del mutant in the promoter of NFKB1 gene is an essential functional mutant. The present study demonstrated the frequencies of the del/del (DD) genotype and del (D) allele were significantly higher in CAD patients than in controls. CAD patients carrying mutant DD genotype had worse stenosis of diseased coronary arteries compared to those carrying ins/ins (II) or ins/del (ID) genotype. Plasma levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were lower, while inflammatory cytokine incnterlukin-6 (IL-6) was higher in CAD patients with DD genotype than those with II or ID genotype (both P<0.05). In vitro study showed that mutant human umbilical vein endothelial cells (DD genotype HUVECs) were more susceptible to H2O2-induced apoptosis, which was accompanied with a decreased Bcl-2 expression. Further, mutant HUVECs had lower eNOS but higher IL-6 mRNA levels and decreased phosphorylation of eNOS under H2O2-stimulation (both P<0.05). Compared to wild type cells (II genotype), significantly downregulated protein expression of total NF-κB p50 subunit were observed in mutant HUVECs with or without oxidative stress, and a lower expression of unclear p50 was associated with a decreased p50 nuclear translocation in mutant HUVECs versus wild type cells under H2O2-stimulation (both P<0.05). In conclusion, mutant DD genotype of NFKB1 gene is associated with the risk and severity of CAD. Dwonregulation of NF-κB p50 subunit leads to exacerbated endothelial dysfunction and apoptosis and enhanced inflammatory response that is the potential underlying mechanism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of estrogen and progestogen treatment on atherosclerotic inflammation and vascular remodeling. METHODS Atherosclerosis was induced by feeding ovariectomized ApoE (-/-) mice a cholesterol-rich diet. Estrogen and progestogen were supplied as estradiol valerate (E2V, orally, 0.07 mg/kg/day) and dydrogesterone (DG, orally, 0.2 mg/kg/day), respectively, for 8 weeks. Levels of the vascular inflammatory marker nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and arterial remodeling marker matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) were examined. Estrogen receptor (ER) involvement was analyzed by treating with antagonists. RESULTS E2V and DG treatment reduced NF-κB mRNA and protein levels in atherosclerotic tissue from ovariectomized ApoE (-/-) mice, and the difference in expression trended towards statistical significance. Moreover, treatment with the ERβ-specific antagonist significantly increased NF-κB mRNA and protein levels in both the E2V treatment group and the E2V and DG combined treatment group (p < 0.05), suggesting that E2V inhibits NF-κB overexpression in atherosclerotic tissue through ERβ-mediated signaling. However, E2V and DG co-treatment did not significantly affect MMP-9 mRNA or protein expression in atherosclerotic tissue. Introduction of ER antagonists to E2V and DG co-treatment still did not significantly affect MMP-9 expression. CONCLUSION E2V and DG treatment may inhibit arterial inflammation by regulating ERβ-related signaling pathways.

Abstract
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Recent studies indicate that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine which mediates the inflammatory process during atherosclerosis. The polymorphism of MIF gene (rs755622 [-173G/C], rs1007888, and rs2096525) were genotyped by TaqMan single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay in 320 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 603 controls in a Chinese Kazakh population. Coronary angiography was performed on all CAD patients and Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. The frequency of the CC genotype and C allele of rs755622 were significantly higher in CAD patients than that in control subjects (8.4% vs. 5.1%, P < 0.001, 30.3% vs. 22.1%, P < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that individuals with CC genotype or C allele had a higher risk for CAD (CC genotype vs. GG genotype, OR = 2.224, 95% CI, 1.239-3.992, P = 0.007, and C allele vs. G allele, OR = 1.473, 95% CI, 1.156-1.876, P = 0.002, respectively). Moreover, CAD patients with rs755622 C allele (CC + CG genotype) have higher levels of Gensini score when compared to C allele noncarriers (32.74 ± 26.66 vs. 21.44 ± 19.40, P < 0.001, adjusted). Our results suggested that the CC genotype and C allele of MIF rs755622 SNP may be a genetic marker for the risk of CAD and potentially predict the severity of CAD in Chinese Kazakh population.
