Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms at rs7692387 site of GUCY1A3 gene and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD). Methods Totally 204 patients with CAD (CAD group) and 201 healthy volunteers (control group) from Yanbian Han population of Yanbian University Hospital were involved in this study. SNaPshot technique was utilized to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms at rs7692387 site of GUCY1A3 gene. Statistical analysis was performed for the association between polymorphisms and CAD. Results The genotype frequency at rs7692387 site of GUCY1A3 gene in both groups fitted the Hardy-Weinberg equilibriumin. Frequency of GG genotype in the CAD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while frequency of GA + AA genotype in the control group was dramatically higher than that in CAD group (P < 0.05). G and A allele were differently distributed in two groups (P < 0.05). GG genotype at rs7692387 site of GUCY1A3 gene increased risk of CAD (O^R = 543, 95% CI = 1.022, 2.327, P = 0.039) while the A allele could reduce the risk of CAD (O^R = 0.691, 95% CI = 0.494, 0.968, P = 0.031). Logistic regression analysis plus adjustments for the confounding factors confirmed these results. Conclusion Single nucleotide polymorphisms at rs7692387 site of GUCY1A3 gene is associated with CAD in Yanbian Han population, and GG genotype is potentially detrimental while A allele may be beneficial for occurrence of CAD.
