PCSK9 Gene Polymorphisms Associated With the Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Iranian Patients
Introduction: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a key regulatory protein in lipid metabolism and a candidate gene in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and significance of PCSK9 rs505151 and rs11591147 variants with myoc...

The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and significance of PCSK9 rs505151 and rs11591147 variants with myocardial infarction (MI) risk in the Iranian population. Patients and Methods: The frequency of the PCSK9 rs505151 and rs11591147 variants were compared between 600 cases of MI and 600 healthy age- and sex-matched individuals.

Results: Carriers of the GG genotype of rs505151 polymorphism (OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.05–2.35, P = 0.02; age-adjusted; OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.03–2.32, P = 0.03) and at least one G-allele including GG+AG vs. AA (OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.04–2.28, P = 0.03; age-adjusted; OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.01–2.24, P = 0.04) have an increased risk of MI.
