Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) also known as atherosclerotic heart disease. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial progressive disease manifested by the focal development within the arterial wall of lesions the atherosclerotic plaques. The PLA2G7 gene polymorphism is related to enzyme activity which is related to the pro atherosclerotic abilities. This study was designed to investigate an association of this polymorphism with coronary artery disease (CAD) and healthy subjects. Material and method: In this study, the PLA2G7 genotype of 30 patients with coronary artery disease, and 20 healthy subjects were assessed by Polymerase chain reaction polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. On genetic level the role of polymorphism of PLA2G7 gene has been widely studied across the world in different ethnic populations. Results: Our study shown 66% (20/30) of the Coronary Heart Disease cases showed homozygous and 26% (8/30) of the cases however showed heterozygous condition. Almost all 80% (16/20) of the normal samples showed heterozygous condition except in four cases where PLA2G7 gene was found to be Homozygous Mutant two & Homozygous normal two. The allelic association of this polymorphism with Coronary Heart Disease was evaluated by χ2 (Chi square) test and was found to be significant (P=0.006).Homozygous mutant condition of PLA2G7 gene was found to be certainly higher in Coronary Heart Disease Cases of above 60 years of age (80%), than ages below 60 years and in controls (16.6%) and was significant as p=0.005, compared to below 60 years of age (33.3%) and in controls (0%) and association was insignificant as p=0.4667. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the polymorphisms of PLA2G7 gene act synergistically to increase the risk of Coronary Heart Disease. Furthermore, it should be noted that the sample size was relatively small in the studied population and so large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
