ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C gene polymorphism on lipid-regulating re-sponse of rosuvastatin calcium. METHODS:Two hundred and tuirty six patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)were selected from cardiology department of our hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2015,and then given rosuvastatin calcium and other symptomatic treatment for 12 weeks. Polymorphism of NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C was detected by PCR-RFLP. The levels of TG,TC,HDL-C and LDL-C were detected by photoelectric colorimetry before treatment and 4,12 weeks after treatment. The serum relationship of genotype with the level of blood lipid was analyzed. RESULTS:Among 236 CHD patients,there were 131 cases of AA genotype (55.5%),98 cases of AC genotype(41.5%) and 7 cases of CC genotype(3.0%);genotype and allele frequencies met the Har-dy-Weinberg balance(P>0.05). There were 132 patients with normal blood lipid and 104 patients with hypercholesterolemia;there was statistical significance in genotype and allele frequencies (P0.05). 4th and 12th week after treatment,the levels of TG,TC and LDL-C in different genotypes were all de-creased significantly;4th week after treatment,the level of LDL-C in AC+CC genotype was significantly lower than AA genotype, and the change compared to before treatment was significantly more than AA genotype,with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C gene polymorphism is associated with CHD complicated with hypercholesterolemia;the C allele of NOS1AP rs12742393 may strengthen the response of CHD patients with hy-percholesterolemia to rosuvastatin calcium through influencing the level of LDL-C.
