Objective Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) E670G polymorphism has been reported to be associated with variability in levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, a risk factor for CAD. However, the relationship between PCSK9E670G and CAD is still not fully elucidated.Methods A total of 225 patients and 189 control subjects were recruited in this study. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and was genotyped by mass array method. In addition, we also conducted a meta-analysis of case-control studies to elucidate the relationship of CAD and polymorphism.Results The GG genotype of PCSK9E670G was associated with a higher risk of CAD [odds ratio (OR) 2.994, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.174–7.631], even adjusting for risk factors (OR 2.794, 95% CI: 1.215–7.460). Logistic regression analysis showed that the dominant genetic model increased the CAD risk (OR 2.313, 95% CI: 1.070–6.983) after adjusting the confounding factors. Meta-analysis results of 13 studies revealed that PCSK9E670G polymorphism was correlated with CAD risk under different genetic models.Conclusion Our results demonstrated that PCSK9E670G genotype was associated with a high risk of CAD. |
