Abstract

Patients with left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) are at the highest risk of cardiovascular events. We evaluated possible gene polymorphisms of tumor protein 53 ( TP53, rs1042522, p.Arg72Pro) that can differentiate LM-CAD from patients with more peripheral CAD (MP-CAD) and healthy participants (control group) in 520 individuals (LM-CAD, n = 175; MP-CAD, n = 185; and control group, n = 160). Patients with LM-CAD had the lowest Arg/Arg genotype frequency (36.0%) compared with the MP-CAD (57.3%) and control groups (61.9%), P < .001 for both comparisons. Similarly, the Arg allele was more frequent in the control group than in patients with MP-CAD (78.8% vs 73.2%; P = .007) and LM-CAD (78.8% vs 64.0%; P < .001). The Arg/Pro genotype was more frequent in the LM-CAD group compared with the MP-CAD and control groups (56.0, 31.9, and 33.8, respectively, P < .001 for both comparisons). Furthermore, the frequency of Arg/Arg genotypes was the lowest in the LM-CAD group compared with the MP-CAD and control groups. Knowing that TP53 is an antioncogene protein that acts as a tumor suppressor and regulator of apoptosis, the lowest frequency of Arg/Arg genotype observed in these high-risk patients may indicate lower protection from the...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
