Gene polymorphism of adiponectin in restenosis after coronary stenting.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between adiponectin (APN)+45T/G and +276G/T polymorphisms and in-stent restenosis (ISR). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 150 patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were divided into the ISR group and non-ISR group. The levels of blood biochemical indicators were measured, and APN+45T/G and +276G/T polymorphisms were detected by TaqMan probes. RESULTS: Cholesterol levels in the IRS group were significantly higher than those in the non-ISR group (p<0.05). The frequency of the GG genotype and G allele of the APN+45T/G locus in the ISR group were significantly higher than those in the non-ISR group (p<0.05). The frequency of the GG genotype and G allele of the APN+276G/T locus in the ISR group were significantly higher than those in the non-ISR group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: APN+45T/G and +276G/T polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to ISR, and carrying the G allele of the APN+45T/G and +276G/T loci can significantly increase the risk of ISR.
