Key result
Polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes were not significantly associated with unstable angina when compared to healthy controls.
Why the study?
CAD is a major cause of death worldwide, motivating investigation into associations between CAD in the form of unstable angina and polymorphisms in genes linked to platelet aggregation.
Are polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes associated with unstable angina?
Case-Control (n=435)
Are polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes associated with unstable angina?
Polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes do not appear to be associated with unstable angina, although the GP6 rs1671152 GG genotype may be linked to type 2 diabetes and higher BMI.
No association supports withholding genetic testing for these variants in unstable angina; leaves open their role pending larger validation studies.
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant public health problem because it is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Several studies have investigated the associations between CAD and polymorphisms in genes connected with platelet aggregation and the risk of venous thromboembolism. Aim: In this study, we examined the associations between polymorphisms in GP6 (rs1671152), PEAR1A (rs12566888), MRVI1 (rs7940646), PIK3CG (rs342286), JMJD1C (rs10761741), SHH (rs2363910), and CAD in the form of unstable angina as well as selected clinical and biochemical parameters. The study enrolled 246 patients with diagnosed unstable angina and 189 healthy controls. Results: There were no significant differences in the distribution of the studied polymorphisms between the patients with unstable angina and the controls. In patients with the GP6 rs1671152 GG genotype, we observed increased BMI values and an increased frequency of type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest a lack of association between GP6 (rs1671152), PEAR1A (rs12566888), MRVI1 (rs7940646), PIK3CG (rs342286), JMJD1C (rs10761741), SHH (rs2363910), and unstable angina. The results indicate an association between GP6 (rs1671152) and type 2 diabetes.

Rudzik et al. (2020) conducted a case-control in Unstable angina (n=435). Polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Distribution of the studied polymorphisms between patients with unstable angina and controls. Polymorphisms in GP6, PEAR1A, MRVI1, PIK3CG, JMJD1C, and SHH genes were not significantly associated with unstable angina when compared to healthy controls.
