Association of a genetic variant in the AKT gene locus and cardiovascular risk factors.

Association of a genetic variant in the AKT gene locus and cardiovascular risk factors. Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2020 Jun 05;66(3):57-64 Authors: Kermanshahi F, Ghazizadeh H, Hussein NA, Amerizadeh F, Samadi S, Tayefi M, Kamel Khodabandeh A, Moohebati M, Ebrahimi M, Esmaily H, Sahebi R, Abdulkarimi R, Mousavi SAR, Ferns GA, Avan A, Ghayour-Mobarhan M Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is the leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide. Most genetic variants could be identified by several genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS), including within genes encoding proteins involved in the AKT/PI3K pathways that are related with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and CVDs. Therefore, due to the importance of genetic variants in the prognosis of diseases, we examined the genetic polymorphism of AKT-rs1130233 located on chromosome 14 with cardiovascular risk factors. In this cross-sectional study, 721 subjects recruited from the Mashhad-Stroke and Heart-Atherosclerotic-Disorders (MASHAD) cohort study. The participants including 257 subjects with metabolic syndrome, 144 subjects with cardiovascular disease and 320 subjects as a control group. Anthropometric, biochemical and demographic information measures were prepared. Dietary assessment was managed by 24h dietary recall. DNA extraction and genotyping were carried out by using the TaqMan real-time-PCR based method. The association of AKT rs1130233 locus with dietary intake...
