【 摘 要 】

Background: Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) occurs with myocardial ischemia and coronary artery disease (CAD). The natriuretic peptide system has compensatory vasodilatory, natriuretic and paracrine effects on LVD and subsequent heart failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between natriuretic peptide polymorphisms and risk of LVD in CAD patients. Methods: We recruited 747 consecutive Southern Han Chinese patients with angiographically confirmed CAD, 201 had a reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF ≤45%, LVD group) and 546 had a preserved left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF >45%). The reduced and preserved LVEF groups were matched by gender and age. Taqman assays were performed to identify five polymorphisms in the NPPA-NPPB locus (rs5065, rs5063, rs632793, rs198388 and rs198389). Results: Single-locus analyses found no significant difference in the allele and genotype frequencies of the reduced and preserved LVEF group, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Subgroup analyses performed by hyperlipidemia (HLP) demonstrated 3 polymorphisms, rs632793 (OR = 0.31, 95% CI 0.1-0.93, P = 0.04), rs198388 (OR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.09-0.79, P = 0.02) and rs198389 (OR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.09-0.80, P = 0.02) were associated with the reduced risk of LVD. No CAD-susceptible haplotypes were identified. Multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis did not detect any gene-to-gene interactions among the five loci. Three loci (rs5063, rs632793 and rs198388) formed the best model with the maximum testing accuracy (39.89%) and cross-validation consistency (10/10). Conclusion: Three NPPA-NPPB polymorphisms (rs632793, rs198388 and rs198389) were associated with reduced risk of LVD in CAD patients with HLP.
