Abstract
BACKGROUND High blood pressure, also known as hypertension (HTN), is a complicated disorder that is controlled by a complex network of physiological processes. Untreated hypertension is associated with increased death incidence, rise the need for understanding the genetic basis affecting hypertension susceptibility and development. The current study sought to identify the genetic association between twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within seven candidate genes (NOS3, NOS1AP, REN, PLA2G4A, TCF7L, ADRB1, and PTPRD). METHODS The current study included 200 Jordanian individuals diagnosed with hypertension, compared to 224 healthy controls. Whole blood samples were drawn from each individual for DNA isolation and genotyping. The SNPStats tool was used to assess haplotype, genotype, and allele frequencies by the mean of chi-square (χ2). RESULTS Except for rs10739150 of PTPRD (P = 0.0003), the genotypic and allelic distribution of the SNP was identical between patients and controls. The prevalence of the G/G genotype in healthy controls (45.5%) was lower than in hypertension patients (64.3%), suggesting that it might be a risk factor for the disease. PTPRD TTC genetic haplotypes were strongly linked with hypertension (P = 0.003, OR = 4.03). CONCLUSION This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the involvement of rs10739150 within the PTPRD gene in hypertension. This new knowledge could potentially transform the way we approach hypertension diagnosis, providing an accurate diagnostic tool for classifying individuals who are at a higher risk of developing this condition.

Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most common and complicated disorders associated with genetic and environmental risk factors. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is important in the renin-angiotensin-system pathway. The gene expression of ACE has been investigated as a possible hypertension marker. This study investigates the association between polymorphisms within the ACE1 and ACE2 genes and hypertension susceptibility in a Jordanian population. The study comprised a total of 200 hypertensive patients and 180 healthy controls. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to genotype the candidate polymorphism (rs4646994) of the ACE1gene. The Luminex DNA array technique was used for genotyping SNPs (rs4359, rs4344, rs4341, rs4343, and rs2106809) of the ACE1 and ACE2 genes. Our findings suggest no association between SNPs and hypertension regarding allelic and genotypic frequencies. However, rs4359 was significantly associated with diet (pP = 0.049), know HTN (P = 0.042), and number of years DM (P = 0.003). rs4341 was associated with diet (P = 0.032), peripheral vascular disease (P = 0.005), and chronic kidney disease (p = 0.049). While rs4343 was associated with diet (P = 0.031), diabetes mellitus (P = 0.032), and other medication (P = 0.025). Furthermore, the haplotypes of four SNPs of the ACE1 gene showed no significant association with HTN patients and healthy controls. Our findings indicate no association between the polymorphisms in the ACE gene and the risk of hypertension development in the Jordanian adult population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To investigate the associations between ophthalmic parameters, CYP4F2 (rs2108622) and ABCA1 (rs1883025) polymorphisms and coronary artery disease, considering the accessibility, non-invasive origin of retinal examination and its possible resemblance to coronary arteries. SUBJECTS/METHODS Overall 165 participants divided into groups based on the coronary angiography results and clinical status: control group (N = 73), MI group (N = 63), 3VD (three vessel disease) (N = 24). All the participants underwent total ophthalmic examination - optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography of the macula region were performed and evaluated. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride cholesterol (Tg-C) were tested. A standard manufacturer's protocol for CYP4F2 (rs2108622) and ABCA1 (rs1883025) was used for genotyping with TaqMan probes. RESULTS GCL+ layer was thicker in control group vs. 3VD group (74.00; 62.67-94.67 (median; min.-max.) vs. 71.06; 51.33-78.44, p = 0.037). T allele carriers under ABCA1 rs1883025 dominant model were shown to have ticker retina and smaller foveal avascular zone in superficial capillary plexus and smaller Tg-C concentration. ABCA1 rs1883025 was associated with retinal thickness (OR = 0.575, 95% CI 0.348-0.948, p = 0.030). Univariate logistic regression showed that ABCA1 rs1883025 CT genotype is associated with decreased risk for coronary artery disease development under overdominant genetic model (OR = 0.498, 95% CI 0.254-0.976; p = 0.042) and codominant genetic model (OR = 0.468, 95% CI 0.232-0.945, p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Results of this study confirmed that non-invasive methods such as OCT of eye might be used for identification of patients at risk of CAD.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0294226. [PMID: 37948393 PMCID: PMC10637663 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0294226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS This study aims to investigate the influence of MEF2A and SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA polymorphisms on cardiovascular disease susceptibility and responsiveness to warfarin medication in Jordanian patients, during the initiation and maintenance phases of treatment. BACKGROUNDS Several candidate genes have been reported to be involved in warfarin metabolism and studying such genes may help in finding an accurate way to determine the needed warfarin dose to lower the risk of adverse drug effects, resulting in more safe anticoagulant therapy. METHODS The study population included 212 cardiovascular patients and 213 healthy controls. Genotyping of MEF2A and SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA polymorphisms was conducted to examine their effects on warfarin efficiency and cardiovascular disease susceptibility using PCR-based methods. RESULTS One SNP (SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA rs10455872) has been associated with cardiovascular disease in the Jordanian population, whereas the other SNPs in the MEF2A gene and SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA gene cluster did not have any significant differences between cardiovascular patients and healthy individuals. Moreover, SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA rs10455872 was correlated with moderate warfarin sensitivity, the other SNPs examined in the current study have not shown any significant associations with warfarin sensitivity and responsiveness. CONCLUSION Our data refer to a lack of correlation between the MEF2A polymorphism and the efficacy of warfarin treatment in both phases of treatment, the initiation, and maintenance phases. However, only rs10455872 SNP was associated with sensitivity to warfarin during the initiation phase. Furthermore, rs3125050 has been found to be associated with the international normalized number treatment outcomes in the maintenance phase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of various genes known to influence mean daily warfarin dose (MDWD) in the Han Chinese population. METHODS The study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Selected studies retrieved by searching Pubmed, Embase (Ovid), Medline, CNKI, Wanfang data, and SinoMed (from their inception to 31 August 2022) for the cohort studies assessing genetic variations that may possibly influence MDWD in Chinese patients were included. RESULT A total of 46 studies including a total of 10,102 Han Chinese adult patients were finally included in the meta-analysis. The impact of 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8 genes on MDWD was analyzed. The significant impact of some of these SNPs on MDWD requirements was demonstrated. Patients with CYP4F2 rs2108622 TT, EPHX1 rs2260863 GC, or NQO1 rs1800566 TT genotype required more than 10% higher MDWD. Furthermore, patients with ABCB1 rs2032582 GT or GG, or CALU rs2290228 TT genotype required more than 10% lower MDWD. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with EPHX1 rs2260863 GC genotype required 7% lower MDWD after heart valve replacement (HVR). CONCLUSION This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of various genes known to influence MDWD besides CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in the Han Chinese population. CYP4F2 (rs2108622), GGCX (rs12714145), EPHX1 (rs2292566 and rs2260863), ABCB1 (rs2032582), NQO1 (rs1800566), and CALU (rs2290228) SNPs might be moderate factors affecting MDWD requirements.

Investigating genes associated with heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and other cardiovascular diseases, and predicting disease using machine learning techniques for translational research and precision medicine.

[PMID: 36813091 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2023.110584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and loss of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) globally. CVDs like Heart Failure (HF) and Atrial Fibrillation (AF) are associated with physical effects on the heart muscles. As a result of the complex nature, progression, inherent genetic makeup, and heterogeneity of CVDs, personalized treatments are believed to be critical. Rightful application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches can lead to new insights into CVDs for providing better personalized treatments with predictive analysis and deep phenotyping. In this study we focused on implementing AI/ML techniques on RNA-seq driven gene-expression data to investigate genes associated with HF, AF, and other CVDs, and predict disease with high accuracy. The study involved generating RNA-seq data derived from the serum of consented CVD patients. Next, we processed the sequenced data using our RNA-seq pipeline and applied GVViZ for gene-disease data annotation and expression analysis. To achieve our research objectives, we developed a new Findable, Accessible, Intelligent, and Reproducible (FAIR) approach that includes a five-level biostatistical evaluation, primarily based on the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. During our AI/ML analysis, we have fitted, trained, and implemented our model to classify and distinguish high-risk CVD patients based on their age, gender, and race. With the successful execution of our model, we predicted the association of highly significant HF, AF, and other CVDs genes with demographic variables.

Abstract
Precision medicine exemplifies the emergence of personalized treatment options which may benefit specific patient populations based upon their genetic makeup. Application of pharmacogenomics requires an understanding of how genetic variations impact pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. This particular approach in pharmacotherapy is helpful because it can assist in and improve clinical decisions. Application of pharmacogenomics to cardiovascular pharmacotherapy provides for the ability of the medical provider to gain critical knowledge on a patient's response to various treatment options and risk of side effects.

Abstract
Purpose Personalized medicine (PM) is the concept of managing patients based on their characteristics, including genotypes. In the field of cardiology, advantages of PM could be found in the diagnosis and treatment of several conditions such as arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies; moreover, it may be beneficial to prevent adverse drug reactions (ADR) and select the best medication. Genetic background can help us in selecting effective treatments, appropriate dose requirements, and preventive strategies in individuals with particular genotypes. Method In this review, we provide examples of personalized medicine based on human genetics for the most used pharmaceutics in cardiology, including warfarin, clopidogrel, and statins. We also review cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathies. Conclusion Genetic factors are as important as environmental factors and they should be tested and evaluated more in the future by improving in genetic testing tools.
