AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the GG genotype of V103V was an independent predictor for the presence of critical CAD (odds ratio: 2.397; 95% confidence interval, 1.174-4.892; p=0.016).Conclusion: In cases of V103V polymorphism of the APLN gene, patients with the GG genotype were at a greater risk for the presence of atherosclerotic critical lesions compared with the control group.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between V103V, 6140AG, TGA-Stop-TAA Stop, and 6016CA polymorphisms of the apelin (APLN) gene detected for the first time among young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study. The study population was divided into 2 groups. The first group included 132 patients who were found to have critical lesions in their coronary arteries, while the control group consisted of 41 patients who were found to have normal coronary arteries or non-critical atherosclerotic lesions.Results: Among the gene polymorphisms, V103V was found to be more common in the critical CAD patients with the GG genotype compared with the control group (67.4% vs. 46.3%). On the other hand, the GT genotype was more common in the control group (53.7% vs. 32.6%). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the GG genotype of V103V was an independent predictor for the presence of critical CAD (odds ratio: 2.397; 95% confidence interval, 1.174-4.892; p=0.016).Conclusion: In cases of V103V polymorphism of the APLN gene, patients with the GG genotype were at a greater risk for the presence of atherosclerotic critical lesions compared with the control group.
Özet
Amaç: Biz bu çalışmayla genç akut koroner sendromlu (AKS) olgularda apelin (APLN) geninin ilk defa tespit edilen V103V, 6140AG, TGA-Stop-TAA Stop ve 6016CA polimorfizmlerinin kritik koroner arter hastalığı (KAH) varlığı ile ilişkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Yöntemler: Bu çalışma ileriye dönük kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya alınan olgular iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grubu koroner arterlerinde kritik lezyon saptanan 132 hasta oluşturdu. Kontrol grubunu ise koroner arterleri normal veya kritik olmayan aterosklerotik lezyon saptanan 41 olgu oluşturdu.Bulgular: Gen polimorfizmlerinden V103V'nin GG genotipi kritik KAH'lı hastalarda kontrol grubuna göre daha sık rastlandı (%67.4 ve %46.3). Buna karşın GT genotipi kontrol grubunda daha sıktı (%53.7 ve %32.6). Tek ve çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizinde, V103V'nin GG genotipinin kritik KAH varlığı için bağımsız öngördürücü olduğu saptandı (odds oranı: 2.397; %95 Güven Aralığı 1.174-4.892; p=0.016).Sonuç: Apelin geni V103V polimorfizminde GG genotipine sahip hastalar aterosklerotik kritik lezyon varlığı yönünden kontrol grubuna göre yüksek risk altındadır.
