en A Genetic Variant in Proline and Serine Rich Coiled-Coil 1 Gene Is Associated with the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease زیست شناسی ملکولی Molecular Biology مقالات اصلی Original Article <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The Proline and Serine Rich Coiled-Coil 1 gene in 1p13.3 locus has been reported to be associated with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the rs599839 polymorphism of the Proline and Serine Rich Coiled-Coil 1 (PSRC1) gene with CVD outcomes in a population sample recruited as part of the Mashhad-Stroke and Heart-Atherosclerotic-Disorders (MASHAD) cohort. Methods: Five hundred and nine individuals who had an average follow-up period of 10 years were enrolled as part of the MASHAD cohort. DNA was extracted and genotyped using the TaqMan-real-time-PCR based method. Results: The study found individuals with GA/GG genotypes were at a higher risk of CVDs (OR= 4.7; 95% CI, 2.5-8.7; p< 0.001) in comparison to those with AA genotype; however, the result was not significant for GG genotype data. Conclusions: The results suggest that the GA/GG genotypes of the PSRC1gene locus were at increased risk of CVD in a representative population-based cohort, demonstrating further functional analysis to discover the value of emerging marker as a risk stratification biomarker to recognize high risk cases.</div> Cardiovascular diseases, cohort studies, Genetic Polymorphism, PSRC1 gene 653 663 http://rbmb.net/browse.php?a_code=A-10-811-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammad Sadegh Khorrami 100319475328460012463 100319475328460012463 No Department of Medical Genetics and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran & Student Research Committee, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran & Metabolic Syndrome Research center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
