Unusual effects of < em > PCSK9 E670G < /em > (rs505151) variation in patients with in-stent restenosis: Variable effects on restenosis risk according to concomitant chronic conditions
This study evaluated for the first time the association of the E670G variation with the serum lipids, PCSK9 levels and concomitant diseases on the ISR risk. The study included 109 ISR, and 82 Non-ISR patients, based on the results of coronary angiography. Genotypes were determined using the real-time PCR and serum PCSK9 levels were measured by ELISA technique. The rare G allele of PCSK9 E670G (p < 0.05), hyperlipidemia (HL) (p < 0.001), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (p < 0.01) were associated with increased risk for ISR. In hyperlipidemic conditions, the E670G-G allele was associated with hypercholesterolemia and a higher risk of ISR (p < 0.001), while the E670G-AA genotype has been associated with a high prevalence of T2DM and hypertension. In addition, diabetic ISRs had higher serum PCSK9 levels (p < 0.05) and the E670G-AA genotype was associated with increased levels of diabetes markers. Our results indicated that the unusual effects of both G allele and AA genotype of the PCSK9 E670G variation may be involved in the risk of ISR in association with concomitant metabolic diseases.PMID:38359332 | DOI:10.1080/15257770.2024.2316724
