ABSTRACT
Background: Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The current study was designed to explore the possible correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lipid homeostasis regulatory genes F-box and WD repeat domain–containing 7 (FBXW7 ) and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) with CAD among Han Chinese and Uygur Chinese populations in Xinjiang, China.
Results: In the Uygur Chinese population, rs9902941 in SREBP-1 and rs10033601 in FBXW7 were found to be associated with CAD in a recessive model (TT vs. CT + CC, P = 0.032; GG vs. AG + AA, P = 0.010, respectively), and rs7288536 in SREBP-2 was found to be associated with CAD in an additive model (CT vs. CC + TT, P = 0.045). The difference was statistically significant in the Uygur Chinese population after multivariate adjustments [Odds ratio (OR) = 1.803, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.036~3.137, P = 0.037; OR = 1.628, 95% CI: 1.080~2.454, P = 0.020; OR = 1.368; and 95% CI: 1.018~1.837, P = 0.037, respectively]. There were also significant interactions between the above-mentioned models in the Uygur Chinese population. However, these relationships were not observed before or after multivariate adjustment in the Han Chinese population.
Materials and Methods: A total of 1,312 Han Chinese (650 CAD patients and 662 controls) and 834 Uygur Chinese (414 CAD patients and 420 controls) were enrolled in this case-control study. Three SNPs (rs9902941 in SREBP-1, rs7288536 in SREBP-2 and rs10033601 in FBXW7) were selected and genotyped using the improved multiplex ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) method.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that variations in the lipid regulatory pathway genes FBXW7 and SREBPs (rs9902941 in SREBP-1, rs7288536 in SREBP-2 and rs10033601 in FBXW7) are associated with CAD in the Uygur Chinese population in Xinjiang, China.
