ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the allele distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene polymorphism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze its correlation with the presence and severity of coronary stenosis.Methods:A total of 94 elderly patients with T2DM who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 50 age- gender-matched healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The observation group was further divided into stenosis group and non-stenosis group based on the presence of coronary stenosis. Clinical data were collected from all participants, and blood samples were taken for analysis. The ALDH2 gene polymorphism (rs671 locus) was detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technology. The distribution of ALDH2 genotypes was observed in elderly patients with T2DM, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors associated with the development of coronary stenosis in elderly patients with T2DM. The degree of coronary stenosis was compared between patients with different genotypes.Results:The allele A frequency of ALDH2 gene (rs671 locus) was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05). The proportion of patients with diabetes duration≥5 years and smoking history in the stenosis group was significantly higher than that in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). Serum levels of glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly higher in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was significantly lower in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). The proportion of ALDH2 genotypes AA and allele A frequency were significantly higher in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). Long duration of diabetes, low HDL-C level, and ALDH2 genotypes AA were independent risk factors for the development of coronary stenosis in elderly patients with T2DM (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients with three or more coronary artery lesions in the stenosis group with genotype AA was significantly higher than that in the stenosis group with genotypes GG and GA (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ALDH2 gene polymorphism is associated with the development of T2DM in elderly patients, and allele A carriers may have a higher risk of developing coronary stenosis and more severe disease severity.
