Abstract

ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 5 (ABCG5) and ABCG8 are members of an ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. ABCG5 and ABCG8 variants affected serum levels of cholesterol and were considered as risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The present control study analyzed ABCG5 and ABCG8 variants in a population for association with the risk of CHD. A total of 417 CHD patients and 267 controls were recruited for genotyping of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; i.e. i7892T>C in ABCG5 and Tyr54CysA>G, Thr400LysC>A and 5U145A>C in ABCG8) using quantitative PCR high‑resolution melting (qPCR-HRM). Serum lipid levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The association of ABCG5/8 variants with lipid levels was analyzed using a Chi-square test. The impact of candidate ABCG5/8 SNPs on CHD was evaluated in a dominant genetic model with stepwise multiple regression analysis. Subgroup analyses were performed with regard to these SNPs, tobacco smoking status, alcohol consumption and gender. Genotypic and allelic frequencies of ABCG8 Thr400LysC>A were significantly different (P<0.05) between CHD patients and controls. CC homozygotes of the ABCG8 Thr400LysC>A SNP had greater triglyceride levels than CA/AA carriers with CHD. Logistic analysis revealed CHD risk was significantly higher in CC homozygotes of ABCG8 Thr400LysC>A than in carriers of the A allele (adjusted P=0.048; OR=2.034; 95% CI=0.983-4.207). Furthermore, there was a significant gene-tobacco smoking interaction. CC homozygotes of ABCG8 Thr400LysC>A SNP had significantly higher triglyceride concentrations (P=0.012) and an increased risk of CHD than tobacco smoking carriers of the A allele. The data from the current study suggested that ABCG8 Thr400LysC>A SNP genetic variants modulated plasma triglyceride levels and thereby affected CHD risk in the population studied. The genetic variant of ABCG8 also contributed to CHD risk through interaction with tobacco smoking.
