Analysis of Circulating Cholesterol Levels as a Mediator of an Association Between ABO Blood Group and Coronary Heart Disease

Abstract: ).Conclusions-In a model in which it is presumed that cholesterol is a mediator of the associations of ABO group with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, around 10% of the effect of non-O type on coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction susceptibility was mediated by its influence on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level.

“…In several clinical researches as well as studies investigating the effects of genetic variants [29][30][31], mediation analysis has been used to assess an intermediate variable as a mediator in the pathway between a risk factor and an outcome to estimate the extent to which the effect of the risk factor occurs through the mediator. In the current study, we performed this analysis and specifically found that both sdLDL-C and large HDL-C were partly mediated this relationship, however, only 8.7-10.5% effect size has been mediated, which may suggest that SUA probably plays an important role in the development of CAD by itself or through other pathways.…”

“…As possible links between ABO blood groups and CAD pathogenesis, previous studies have emphasized the increased prothrombotic state, higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and higher level of systemic inflammatory response revealed in patients with different ABO blood groups [3][4][5]. Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed significant associations of genetic variants in the ABO blood group region with levels of various inflammatory markers, including soluble levels of E-selectin (sE-selectin), intercellular adhesive molecule 1 (ICAM1), and P-selectin (sP-selectin) [6].…”

“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In above studies, it was found that the prevalence of disease in male was more than female. Also, the sixth and seventh decades of life are the most prevalent age of the disease occurrence, which was confirmed by the above studies.…”
