Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the third most common cause of mortality globally (with 17.8 million deaths annually). Angiotensinogen (AGT) and polymorphisms in this gene can be considered as susceptibility factors for CAD. We performed a retrospective case-control study to determine the correlation of AGT rs5051 and rs699 polymorphisms with CAD in an Iranian population. We genotyped 310 CAD patients and 310 healthy subjects using polymerase chain reaction-based methods. To confirm the accuracy of the screening approach, 10% of genotyped subjects were validated using gold-standard Sanger Sequencing. To evaluate the effect of the candidate polymorphisms, white blood cells were randomly purified from the subjects and AGT expression was measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Sex stratification indicated a significant correlation between CAD and male sex (P = .0101). We found a significant association between the rs5051 A allele (P = .002) and the rs699 C allele, and CAD (P = .0122) in recessive and dominant models. Moreover, our findings showed a significant association of the haplotype, including the rs5051 A/A and rs699 T/C genotypes, with CAD (P = .0405). Finally, AGT mRNA levels were significantly decreased in patients harboring the candidate polymorphisms (P = .03). According to our findings The AGT rs5051 A and AGT rs699 C alleles are predisposing variants of CAD risk and severity in the Iranian population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study of polymorphisms and their relationship with diseases is very important for risk assessment. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between early risk of coronary artery disease(CAD) with renin-angiotensin(RAS) genes and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) in a sample of the Iranian population. METHODS & MATERIALS In this cross-sectional study, 63 patients with premature CAD and 72 healthy samples were enrolled. Polymorphism of the promotor region of eNOS- and ACE-I/D (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-I/D) polymorphism was evaluated. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) was performed for ACE and eNOS-786 gene, respectively. RESULTS The frequency of deletion(D) for the ACE gene was significantly higher in patients(96% versus 61%; P < 0.001). Conversely, the number of defective C alleles for the eNOS gene was similar in both groups (p > 0.9). CONCLUSION ACE polymorphism seems to be an independent risk factor for premature CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may be implicated in carotid atheromatosis (CA) development. We aimed to assess the relationship of M235T-angiotensinogen (AGT) and insertion/deletion of angiotensin conversion enzyme (I/D-ACE) genotypes with CA in patients with essential hypertension (EHT). PATIENTS AND METHODS We determined the M235T-AGT and I/D-ACE genotypes, using PCR-RFLP methods, in 162 hypertensive subjects from three tertiary regional medical centers. The relationship between the studied RAAS gene polymorphisms and CA was assessed by multiple logistic regressions. RESULTS Hypertensive patients carrying the MT/TT235-AGT and MT235-AGT genotypes had a 2.17-fold (p=0.033) and 2.24-fold (p=0.036) increased risk to develop CA, respectively. These genotypes, MT/TT 235-AGT (OR=2.17, p=0.033) and MT235-AGT (OR=2.24, p=0.036), remain independent risk factors for CA in hypertensive patients according to the multivariate model. CONCLUSION There is a statistically significant association between M235T-AGT and CA, when adjusting for several confounders and controlling for hypertension.

Abstract
Many studies have investigated the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) D/I polymorphism and cardiovascular disease or endothelial dysfunction; however, hardly any of these studies has taken aging or menopause into consideration. Furthermore, despite that many studies have examined the regulatory effects of endothelial-released factors (ERFs) on endothelial function, no study has evaluated the relationship between ERFs and endothelial function with respect to ACE D/I polymorphism and menopause status. To answer these questions, 391 healthy Chinese women over a wide range of ages (22-75 years) were enrolled and divided into pre-menopause group and post-menopause group. After ACE D/I genotype being identified, the women were then classified into either DI/II or DD genotype. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of brachial endothelium and plasma levels of ERFs: nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and angiotensin II (Ang II) were measured. The results showed that frequencies of ACE D/I genotypes were in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the frequency of I allele was higher than D allele. In pre-menopause group, FMD was significantly higher in women of DI/II than DD (P = 0.032), and age-dependent in both genotypes (DD, P = 0.0472; DI/II, P < 0.0001). In post-menopause group, FMD was similar between women of DI/II and DD, and age-dependent only in women of DI/II (P < 0.0001). In pre-menopause group, Ang II level was significantly higher in women of DD than DI/II (P = 0.029), and FMD was significantly correlated with all ERFs in women of DD (NO, P = 0.032; ET-1, P = 0.017; Ang II, P = 0.002), but only with Ang II in women of DI/II (P = 0.026). In post-menopause group, no significant difference was observed in any ERF between women of DI/II and DD, and FMD was only significantly correlated with ET-1 in women of DD (P = 0.010). In summary, FMD in women of DI/II was superior to DD in pre-menopause and more age-dependent than DD in post-menopause, and FMD was closely associated with ERFs. In conclusion, Chinese women of DI/II seem to have lower risk than DD in pre-menopause, but similar risk as DD in post-menopause in developing cardiovascular disease.

Gene polymorphism associated with angiotensinogen (M235T), endothelial lipase (584C/T) and susceptibility to coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis. Biosci Rep 2020; 40:225796. [PMID: 32667032 PMCID: PMC7383830 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20201414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 07/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between the variant M235T locus of angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, 584C/T locus of Endothelial lipase (EL) gene, and coronary artery disease (CAD) by meta-analysis. METHODS The case-control studies on the association between AGT/EL gene polymorphism and CAD were collected through searching PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases up to 1 March 2020. Stata 15.0 software was used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 29 articles met the inclusion criteria. After analyzing, it was found that the M235T polymorphism of AGT gene was associated with the occurrence of CAD. In the allele model (T vs. M), OR = 1.38 (P<v0.05). In other heredity, there was also statistical significance. Subgroup analysis indicated that except the heterozygous genetic model of the Chinese population, other genetic models of the Caucasian and Chinese population were also statistically significant. The 584C/T polymorphism of EL gene was associated with the occurrence of CAD, with OR = 0.83 (P<0.05) in the allele model (T vs. C) and OR = 0.80 (P<0.05) in the dominant gene model. Also, in the allele model of Caucasian subgroup, OR = 0.83 (P<0.05), while in Asian subgroup, there was no statistically significant genetic model. CONCLUSION AGT M235T and EL 584C/T polymorphisms are associated with CAD susceptibility. The genotype TT, TC or allele T of AGT M235T and genotype CC or allele C of EL 584C/T might be the genetic risk factors for the development of CAD.

Abstract
Objective The ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a serious health care problem, is commonly a thrombotic complication of coronary artery disease. We compare the STEMI patients and control group in terms of the possible causes of inherited thrombophilia including FactorV Cambridge G1091C, FactorV Leiden G1691A, MTHFRC677T, MTHFR A1298C, FactorII G20210A, Factor XIII (V34L), PAI-1, FGB, ITGB3, APOB, FVHR2, ACE gene variants. Methods Fifty-three patients with STEMI and 47 individuals without diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome were included in the study. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed for patients with STEMI. Echocardiography was performed and inherited thrombophilia genes were evaluated in all subjects. Results The MTHFR A1298C, Factor XIII (V34L), ITGB, ACE and homozygous or compound heterozygous gene varations of inherited thrombophilia are significantly related with STEMI (p<0.05). Also significantly higher MTHFR A1298C, FactorV Leiden G1691A, PAI and ACE gene variations in MI patients who were smokers; Factor XIII (V34L), PAI and ACE gene variations in MI patients with HT; PAI and ACE gene variation in MI patients with FH and PAI gene variations in MI patients with HL were detected when compared with the control groups with all of the same risk factors (p<0.05). Conclusion Hereditary thrombophilia factors may show promise in the prevention and management of STEMI when supported studies with larger case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has an important role in atherosclerosis. We investigated the effects of six RAAS gene polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 810 patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) using stress-rest myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography. Summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), summed difference score (SDS), transient ischemic dilation (TID), and lung/heart ratio (LHR) were recorded. The following gene polymorphisms were investigated: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T and T174M, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C, renin (REN) C5312T, and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) C3123A. The heterozygotes or homozygotes on ACE D allele were 7.54 times more likely to have abnormal SSS, while the AGT (T174M) heterozygotes were 5.19 times more likely to have abnormal SSS. The homozygotes of ACE D had significantly higher values on TID and LHR, while the AGT (T174M) heterozygotes had higher values on TID. The AT1R heterozygotes had greater odds for having SSS ≥ 3. The patients carried AT1R homozygosity of C allele had significantly higher values on TID, while heterozygotes of AT1R had significantly higher values on LHR. CONCLUSIONS Among the polymorphisms investigated, ACE D allele had the strongest association with abnormal myocardial perfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of gene polymorphisms of angiotensinogen (AGT), the key factor in rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The current study recruited the patients who were hospitalized and assessed by coronary angiography for suspected CAD. The patients with documented CAD served as CAD group (n = 492) while the patients without documented CAD (n = 87) served as control group. We compared laboratory data and CAD risk factors between the two groups. Furthermore, we analyzed the association of AGT M235T, G217A, G152A, G-6A, A-20C genotypes with coronary artery stenosis and in-stent restenosis. RESULTS There were significantly differences between two patient groups in sex, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, carotid atherosclerosis, lower limb arteriosclerosis, hs-CRP, blood glucose, and the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL; P < 0.05). In CAD group, hs-CRP levels increased with increasing number of coronary artery branches (1, 2, or ≥3; P < 0.01), and Gensini integral was positively correlated with hs-CRP levels (r = 0.361, P < 0.01). Frequencies of genotype and allele distribution in individual angiotensinogen loci (M235T, G217A, G152A, G-6A, A-20C) did not differ in two patient groups. Following stratification of patients according to hs-CRP levels (<1 mg/L, 1-3 mg/L, and >3 mg/L), the distribution frequency of allele M235T was statistically different among the groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In CAD patients, M235T among several AGT gene polymorphisms is associated with elevated hs-CRP levels with AGT C allele as the significant factor for patients with hs-CRP level of more than 1 mg/L.

Abstract
The ACE INDEL gene polymorphisms are strongly associated with CAD. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between ACE INDEL polymorphism and CAD in Turkish Cypriots whose are expected to have Mediterranean-style diet. 273 Turkish Cypriot descent volunteer subjects (186 controls and 87 CAD patients) participated in this study. Genotyping for the ACE INDEL polymorphism was performed by PCR-RFLP analysis. Biochemical parameters except the glucose and triglyceride lipid level were all within normal limits. Glucose level was found significant (p = 0.019) and triglyceride level was observed at the borderline for significance (p = 0.050) in participants according to WHO guidelines. With the respect to the genotype and allele distributions of ACE INDEL, the results showed statistically significant in CAD patients (p = 0.034) and not significant (p = 0.190) in controls. Haplotype analysis showed that D allele was more frequent in patients compared to controls. Thus, there is a statistically significant association with CAD disease with DD genotypes (p = 0.030) in Turkish Cypriot population. The results indicated that ACE INDEL polymorphism is an important predictor of coronary artery disease in Turkish Cypriots. Although 47% of the studied Turkish Cypriot population carry the D allele (p = 0.07), protocols should be developed for prevention strategies immediately.

Abstract
Obesity, as a global health issue, is a complex metabolic syndrome and its association with many chronic diseases. The pathology of obesity results from an interaction of psychological, environmental and variety of genetic factors. Etiologic determinants and molecular pathophysiology of obesity have not yet understood clearly. Previously shown that genetic markers have a significant role in the development of obesity, although results are divergent with populations. Turkish Cypriots have a unique mixture of allele distributions as being a small-islander population. Therefore, the current study was aimed to evaluate the association between obesity and three putative obesity-related ADIPOQ, FTO and ACE gene markers, respectively. We investigated a possible association of ADIPOQ rs2241766 G>T, FTO rs9939609 A>T and ACE rs4340288 DIP variants among obese and non-obese Turkish Cypriot origin. Additionally, the correlation between these variants and biochemical and physical measurements were also evaluated to determine the possible biomarker for obesity in the population. Only FTO rs9939609 A>T polymorphism was associated with obesity and no association was observed with ADIPOQ rs2441666 G>T and ACE rs4340288 DIP. To conclude, FTO rs9939609 A allele found to have strong association with obesity in the population of Turkish Cypriots.

Abstract
: The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure and the development of coronary artery disease. The aim was to examine the association of the insertion deletion in the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene, M235T and T174M polymorphisms in the angiotensinogen gene with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) in young Mexican population. We analyzed 242 unrelated patients with STEAMI 45 or less years of age, admitted to a cardiovascular intense care unit, and 242 individuals without STEAMI matched by age and sex, recruited from January 2006 and June 2013. The polymorphisms insertion deletion, M235T and T174M were determined in all participants by a polymerase chain-reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. There was a significant difference in the insertion deletion genotype distribution between two groups (P = 0.03) and a higher percentage of the T allele M235T polymorphism in the group of STEAMI patients (P = 0.02). The T174M polymorphism was not associated (P = 0.08). The insertion deletion and M235T polymorphisms, smoking, hypertension, familial history of cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia were independent risk factors for STEAMI. Our results identified that the D allele from the insertion deletion and M235T but not T174M polymorphisms represent an independent risk factor for STEAMI in young Mexican population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as atherosclerotic heart disease, is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. The role of insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in the etiology of CAD remains to be more completely clarified. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the ACE I/D polymorphism in patients with CAD and to study the association together with traditional risk factors in assessing the risk of CAD. METHODS Our study population included 145 Tunisian patients with symptomatic CAD and a control group of 300 people matched for age and sex. All participants in the study were genotyped for the ACE I/D polymorphisms obtained by polymerase chain reaction amplification on genomic DNA. RESULTS Our analysis showed that the ACE D allele frequency ( P < 10-3; odds ratio [OR] = 5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.6-7.6) and DD genotype ( P < 10-3; OR = 6.8; 95% CI = 4.4-10) are significantly more prevalent among patients with CAD than in controls and may be predisposing to CAD. We further found that the risk of CAD is greatly potentiated by several concomitant risk factors (smoking, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a family history of CAD). CONCLUSION The ACE D allele may be predictive in individuals who may be at risk of developing CAD. Further investigations of these polymorphisms and their possible synergisms with traditional risk factors for CAD could help to ascertain better predictability for CAD susceptibility.
