Genetic association of Toll-like receptor 4 gene and coronary artery disease in a Chinese Han population

Abstract: PurposeToll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is known to be involved in innate immunity and inflammatory responses that play important roles in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). But the relationship between TLR4 gene and CAD has yet to be investigated. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of TLR4 gene polymorphisms with CAD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.MethodsA total of 1094 subjects (577 unrelated patients with CAD and 517 controls) were recruited between 2008 and 2012.

“…Genotypes and alleles of rs1927907 SNP had no significant association with AMD susceptibility. Present results were confirmed with the study reported by Zhou et al [33] Yu et al demonstrated that chronic periodontitis patients carrying rs1927907 SNP had higher susceptibility for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [34]…”

“…Besides rs4986790 and rs4986791, the association between CAD and other TLR4 genetic variants, including rs11536889, rs10116253 and rs10983755, have also been evaluated by genetic studies. 40 However, due to the limited published data, we were unable to include these variants in the present meta-analysis. Second, although Egger's and Beggs' tests and funnel plots did not reveal any evidence of publication bias, we could not exclude the possibility that some case-control studies obtaining negative results might not be published in peer-reviewed journals.…”

“…Human TLR4 gene encompasses four exons on chromosome 9q32–q33 . TLR4 protein is expressed on cell surface of immune cells, such as lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and tissue cells, such as splenocytes, cardio myocytes, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and airway and gastric epithelial cells .…”
