The role of polymorphisms within genes encoding Toll-like receptors in coronary atherosclerosis
Abstract
Study aim: To investigate an association of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) gene polymorphisms with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and
Methods: We recruited 702 consecutive Russian patients with CAD and 300 healthy blood donors who were residents of Western Siberia (Kemerovo Region). We investigated eight polymorphisms within four genes: TLR1 (rs5743551, rs5743611), TLR2 (rs3804099, rs5743708), TLR4 (rs4986790, rs4986791), and TLR6 (rs3775073, rs5743810). Sample genotyping was performed in 96-well format using the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay.
Results: C/C genotype of rs5743551 polymorphism and C/G genotype of rs5743611 polymorphism within TLR1 gene along with T/C genotype of rs3775073 polymorphism and A/G genotype of rs5743810 polymorphism within TLR6 gene were associated with a high risk of coronary artery disease
(OR = 0.41 (95 % CI = 0.20–0.84), OR = 1.56, 95 % CI = 1.04–2.34, OR = 1.68, 95 % CI = 1.03–2.73, and OR = 1.55 (95 % CI = 1.12–2.14, р < 0,05, respectively) independently of age and gender.
Conclusions: certain Toll-like receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of CAD.
