Genetic Variants rs1049255 CYBA and rs2333227 MPO are Associated with Susceptibility to Coronary Artery Disease in Russian Residents of Central Russia.

Aim      To study association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs1049255 CYBA and rs2333227 MPO with development of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Russian residents of Central Russia.Material and methods  The study material was DNA samples from 436 patients with IHD (265 men, 171 women; mean age, 61 years) and 370 sex- and age-matched arbitrarily healthy volunteers (209 men, 161 women; mean age, 60 years). Genotyping was performed by allelic discrimination with TaqMan probes.Results Comparative analysis of genotype frequency (log-additive regression model) showed that SNP rs1049255 CYBA (odds ratio, OR, 0.79 at 95 % confidence interval, CI, from 0.65 to 0.96; p=0.02) and rs2333227 MPO (OR 0.72 at 95 % CI from 0.55 to 0.95; p=0.02) were associated with a decreased risk of IHD adjusted for sex and age. Analysis of sex-specific effects showed that the protective effect of rs1049255 CYBA was evident only in men (OR 0.72 at 95 % CI from 0.55 to 0.94; p=0.16).Conclusion      The study demonstrated a protective effect of rs1049255 CYBA and rs2333227 MPO with respect of IHD in Russians. The protective effect of rs1049255 CYBA was observed only in men.
