Abstract

The p22phox is a critical component of vascular NADPH oxidases and is encoded by the CYBA gene. It was shown that functionally relevant polymorphisms of the CYBA gene −930A > G, −852C > G, −675A > T, −536C > T, 214C > T (previously described as 242C > T), *24A > G (previously described as 640A > G), and *49A > G modulate generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To analyse whether the CYBA gene polymorphisms −852C > G, −675A > T, and −536C > T were associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), and to designate haplotype blocks. Four hundred and ninety subjects: 245 patients with CAD and 245 age and sex-matched controls. The polymorphisms were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method and the TagMan® Pre-designed SNP Genotyping Assay. The analysed polymorphisms do not form haplotype blocks. Case–control study revealed that the −930 G/-675T and −930G/*49G diplotypes were a CAD risk factor. The 675T/*49G diplotype can modulate CAD risk in women. The protective effect reducing CAD risk in women was related to the −930A/−675T and −930A/*49A diplotypes. Carrier state of the −852C allele (−852C > G) was associated with multivessel stenosis while the CC genotype of the −536C > T polymorphism was more frequent in patients with peripheral artery disease. Hypercholesterolemic, cigarette smokers had an increased risk of CAD, especially C − 852 allele (−852C > G) carriers (SIM = 3.54; odds ratios (OR) = 10.01, p < 0.000). The CYBA gene polymorphisms modulate the risk of CAD but do not form a haplotype blocks.
