Genetic variants of Complement factor H gene are not associated with premature coronary heart disease: a family-based study in the Irish population

Abstract: Background:The complement factor H (CFH) gene has been recently confirmed to play an essential role in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). There are conflicting reports of its role in coronary heart disease. This study was designed to investigate if, using a familybased approach, there was an association between genetic variants of the CFH gene and risk of early-onset coronary heart disease.

“…(31) Association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Y402H of the CFH gene with increased cardiovascular risk has been controversial. (32),(33),(34),(35) However, complement activation has been shown to be higher in individuals presenting with ACS,(36) and recently to be associated with an anti-coagulant role. (37) The biological activity of CFH binding to MDA-LDL decreased by ~12% post PCI, and there was an increase of ~6% at 3-7 days post PCI that remained until 6 months.…”
