title: Association between C1431T polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ gene and coronary artery disease in Chinese Han population.
abstract: The C1431T polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) has been shown to be associated with diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. However, it is unclear whether this polymorphism is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study with 864 CAD patients and 1008 controls to explore the association between the PPARγ C1431T polymorphism and risk of CAD in Chinese Han population. Subjects with the variant genotypes (CT + TT) had a 39% decreased risk of CAD relative to CC carriers (adjusted odds ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.49-0.76). Our results suggested that the C1431T polymorphism was associated with a higher body mass index in both CAD patients and controls. Moreover, this polymorphism was also found to be associated with a higher HDL cholesterol level and a lower blood glucose level in CAD patients. In stratified analyses, the T allele was significantly associated with reduced risk of CAD in males, subjects with age <62 years, and non-smokers. In conclusion, the PPARγ C1431T polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of CAD in Chinese Han population.
