Background: This study aims to investigate the association between nine tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene locus and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as lipid levels in the Chinese population, and to further explore the interactions between SNPs and environmental factors that may be associated with CAD risk.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between CAD and gene polymorphisms in a hospital setting. The study consisted of 944 CAD patients with a mean age of 55.
Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of genetic variation in the C3 gene and environmental factors on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and coronary artery disease(CAD) in a population from Xinjiang, China.
Methods: We conducted a hospital-based case-control study with 896 participants (217 with T2DM+CAD and 679 healthy controls). A polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction was used to identify and genotype TagSNPs in the C3 gene, and the influence of the interaction of two SNP loci (rs1047286 and rs11569562) with the environment on T2DM combined with CAD was evaluated through clinical data, statistical analysis of gene frequencies, and the formation of a gene-environment interaction model.
Background: The apolipoprotein A5 () gene has been identified as a key regulatory factor in triglyceride (TG) metabolism and plasma lipid levels. Genetic polymorphisms of have been linked to an elevated risk of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and coronary artery disease. The rs662799 variant is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that occurs at a specific position within the gene.

Therefore, we investigated the role of FOXO3a on target genes in a human vascular endothelial cell line. Through the utilization of high-throughput sequencing technology, we analyzed gene expression profiles and alternative splicing patterns in human vascular endothelial cells with FOXO3a over expression.

Methods And Results: During coronary angiography, methylergometrin was injected intravenously to 345 patients with chest pain but without significant coronary disease on angiogram to provoke coronary artery spasm.
