ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the frequency of FGB gene -1420G/A, -993C/T and -854G/A polymorphisms, and their association with plasma fibrinogen levels in patients with coronary heart disease and in health adults.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The FGB gene -1420G/A, -993C/T and -854G/A polymorphisms were analyzed with restriction fragment length polymorphisms, polymerase chain reaction with allele-specific primer and nucleotide sequencing methods. Plasma fibrinogen levels were determined by turbidimetry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The frequencies of -1420A were 0.33 in patients with coronary heart disease and 0.26 in health adults. The frequencies of -1420A in coronary heart disease were apparently higher than that in health adults. There were no difference in frequencies of other two alleles. The logistic study suggested -1420G/A polymorphism was associated with coronary heart disease. There are significantly difference in plasma fibrinogen levels in two groups. Plasma fibrinogen levels were significantly increased in patients with coronary heart disease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This study suggests -1420G/A polymorphism may be associated with occurrence of coronary heart disease.</p>
