Abstract
BackgroundLittle is known about the association of the dedicator of cytokinesis 7 (DOCK7 rs1748195) and angiopoietin like 3 (ANGPTL3 rs12563308) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their haplotypes with serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese populations. This study aimed to detect such association in a Southern Chinese Han population.MethodsThis study included 1728 subjects (CAD, 568; IS, 539; and controls, 621). Genotypes of the two SNPs were determined by the Snapshot technology.ResultsThe genotypic and allelic frequencies of the rs1748195 SNP were different between CAD patients and controls (P < 0.05 for each), the rs1748195G allele frequency was higher in CAD patients than in controls (27.6% vs. 23.6%, P = 0.024). The genotypic frequencies of the rs12563308 SNP were also different between CAD patients and controls (P = 0.021). The rs1748195 SNP was associated with an increased risk of CAD after controlling for potential confounders and Bonferroni correction (P < 0.025 considered statistically significant; Recessive: OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.04-3.06, P = 0.017; Log-additive: OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.02-1.57, P = 0.014), whereas the rs12563308 SNP was associated with a decreased risk of CAD (Dominant: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.45-0.94, P = 0.011; Log-additive: OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.49-0.89, P = 0.009). The rs1748195 SNP was also associated with an increased risk of severity to coronary artery atherosclerosis (Dominant: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.07-2.11, P = 0.017; Log-additive: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.09-1.82, P = 0.013). The interactions of SNP-environment on serum lipid levels and the risk of severity to coronary artery atherosclerosis, CAD and IS were noted. The rs1748195G-rs12563308T haplotype was associated with an increased angiographic severity to coronary artery atherosclerosis (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.05-2.03), and the risk of CAD (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.08-1.74). The interactions of haplotype-hypertension on the risk of CAD and haplotype-drinking on the risk of CAD/IS were observed.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the DOCK-ANGPTL3 SNPs and their haplotypes were associated with the angiographic severity to coronary artery atherosclerosis and the risk of CAD and IS in the Southern Chinese Han population.

Little is known about the association of the dedicator of cytokinesis 7 (DOCK7 rs1748195) and angiopoietin like 3 (ANGPTL3 rs12563308) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their haplotypes with serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese populations
For the dedicator of cytokinesis 7 gene (DOCK7) rs1748195 SNP, the genotypic and allelic frequencies were different between CAD patients and controls (P < 0.05 for each), the frequency of the rs1748195G allele was higher in CAD patients than in controls (27.6% vs. 23.6%, P = 0.024)
The DOCK7 rs1748195 SNP and rs1748195G-rs12563308T haplotype were associated with an increased risk of CAD (Recessive: odds ratio (OR) = 1.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-3.06, P = 0.017, Log-additive: OR = 1.27, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.02-1.57, P = 0.014; OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.08-1.74, P = 0.009; respectively) and the severity to coronary atherosclerosis (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.05-2.03, P = 0.023), whereas the Angiopoietin like 3 gene (ANGPTL3) rs12563308 SNP was associated with a decreased risk of CAD (Dominant: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.45-0.94, P = 0.011; Log-additive: OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.49-0.89, P = 0.009)
Summary
Little is known about the association of the dedicator of cytokinesis 7 (DOCK7 rs1748195) and angiopoietin like 3 (ANGPTL3 rs12563308) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their haplotypes with serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese populations. The mortality and morbidity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) remain very high in different districts [1,2,3]. The prevention and treatment of the two diseases remain a great challenge to us Though both diseases are complex multifactorial disorder, it is widely accepted that the pathological basis of the two diseases are atherosclerosis, and serum dyslipidemia plays an important role in process of coronary artery atherosclerosis [5]. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASes) have identified many genetic variants influenced the risk of CAD or IS [13]
