摘要
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the impact of a common T-786C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter of the endothetial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS, NOS3) gene on cardiovascular (CV) death in a prospective cohort study. BACKGROUND The T-786C SNP eNOS gene implies a blunted endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypertensive patients and was associated with multivessel coronary artery disease in cross-sectional studies, but it remained unsettled whether it carried prognostic information. METHODS In consecutive white patients of the GENICA (Genetic and Environmental Factors in Coronary Atherosclerosis) study, who underwent coronary angiography between 1999 and 2001, we determined the incidence of CV death at follow-up. The eNOS T-786C and the exon 7 G(894)T SNPs were determined by melting curve analysis of ampticons from allele-specific fluorescence resonance energy transfer probes. Plasma levels of nitrate/nitrite, nitrotyrosine, and mycloperoxidase were also measured. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the impact of SNPs on event-free survival. RESULTS Complete follow-up data were obtained in 1,086 (98%) patients. After a median follow-up of 1,296 days (range 4 to 2,057 days), we observed 85 (8.2%) CV deaths. There was a significant impact of the T-786C eNOS genotype on CV death-free (p = 0.0102) survival, but no differences in CV death rates across G(894)T genotypes. The TT individuals, who showed a lower survival, exhibited higher plasma myeloperoxidase (p < 0.0001) and lower levels of nitrotyrosine (p < 0.0001) than CC patients. CONCLUSIONS The T-786C SNP in the promoter of eNOS bears independent prognostic information and is associated with changes in markers of oxidant stress in high-risk white patients referred for coronary angiography.
