Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the mutation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) gene in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS),and explore the relationship between MTHFR mutation and short-term prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).
Methods: A total of 121 ACS patients were selected as the ACS group,and 117 healthy people were selected as the control group.The sex,age,hypertension,diabetes,smoking,levels of folic acid(FA),homocysteine(HCY) and nitric oxide(NO),and blood lipid indicatorslow-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),total cholesterol(TC) and triglyceride(TG),Gensini score and number of disease branches were compared between two groups.The single nucleotide polymorphisms at c.677 and c.1298 of MTHFR gene in two groups were detected by microsequencing.According to the occurrence of unscrupulous cerebrovascular events after 90 days of surgery,the ACS patients were divided into the good prognosis group and poor prognosis group,and the polymorphism of MTHFR gene c.677 locus between two groups was compared to analyze the risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of ACS patients.
Results: Compared with the control group,the proportions of hypertension,diabetes and smoking in ACS group increased(
P<0.01),and the differences of the genotypes and alleles of c.677 locus were statistically significant between two groups(
P<0.01).The NO,Gensini scores and HCY levels in ACS patients with CT+TT classification were significantly higher than those in CC classification(
P<0.01),and the FA levels were significantly lower than those in CC classification(
P<0.01).The proportion of patients with poor prognosis was 23.96%(29/121),and the proportion of CT+TT typing in patients with poor prognosis was higher than that in patients with good prognosis(
P<0.01).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the CT+TT classification,high Gensini score and high HCY were the independent risk factors of poor prognosis in ACS patients(
P<0.01).
Conclusions: The C/T mutation at c.667 site of MTHFR gene is closely related to the occurrence of ACS and MACCE after PCI.
