Polymorphisms of LPA gene, rs1801693 and rs7765781, are not associated with premature myocardial infarction in the Iranian population
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of mortality globally. Although it is most prevalent in the elderly, it may occur in young adults (men ≤ 55 years or women ≤ 65 years) as premature MI (PMI). As awareness of genetic risks may lead to effective prevention of PMI, we aim to investigate the association of two susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LPA gene with PMI in the Iranian population, rs1801693 and rs7765781, identified in previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
A total number of 85 patients with PMI and 85 healthy controls were recruited from December 2015 to March 2016 from Isfahan, Iran. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all individuals. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted and genotyped at rs1181693 and rs7765781 polymorphisms, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results were statistically analyzed to find any possible association of the two polymorphisms with PMI by SPSS software and P-values less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
Statistical analysis displayed no significant difference between rs1801693 (P = 0.815)/rs7765781 (P = 0.746) alleles in patients with PMI and healthy control subjects.
There is no meaningful association between rs1801693/rs7765781 and PMI incidence in the Iranian population.
