Beta2-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Egyptian Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Background. Beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene polymorphisms, Arg16Gly and Gln27Glu, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the association of these two polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in the Egyptian population.Methods. Blood samples were collected from 68 MI patients and 75 healthy controls. They were assessed for the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and genotyped for the Arg16Gly (rs1042713) and Gln27Gl… Show more

“…The Gly49Gly variant is extremely rare and its lower frequency was also reported in previous studies within various ethnic populations (22)(23)(24)(25). Furthermore, in good accordance with our data, Gly16-β 2 AR and Gly16Gly-β 2 AR were reported as the most prominent alleles and genotypes among different ethnic populations (White and Black Americans, Chinese and Egyptian populations) [26,27].…”

“…Genotype, allele frequencies and carriage rate were calculated using SPSS as described previously . Differences in genotypic and allelic distribution of GC gene polymorphisms between patients and controls were determined by Pearson's chi‐square ( χ 2 ).…”

“…Statistical analysis was performed using PCORD v.5.0, R programming language and the “ Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for windows ” software, version 22. Allele and genotype frequencies and carriage rate were calculated as previously described [ 31 ]. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was estimated using the Online Encyclopedia for Genetic Epidemiology (OEGE) software ( http://www.oege.org/software/hwe-mr-calc.shtml ) and tested for goodness of fit by chi square test.…”
