Abstract

Summary

NAD(P)H oxidase is a prominent source of reactive oxygen species in the vasculature.Vascular NAD(P)H oxidase is comprised of several subunits, one of which, p22phox, is encoded by a gene exhibiting several allelic variants. Here the C₂₄₂T nucleotide transition has been found to alter superoxide anion production and associated with an altered risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We assessed the role of this variant in two casecontrol studies, and performed a meta-analysis of previously reported investigations relating it to vascular risk. Population I was comprised of 492 subjects with type 2 diabetes, with or without macrovascular disease,matched for age,sex,and duration of diabetes. Population II was comprised of 158 subjects with or without either CAD or cerebro-vascular disease, and matched for age,sex,smoking status,weight category and the presence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Our findings were metaanalyzed together with additional studies retrieved from the literature. The C₂₄₂T polymorphism distribution did not differ between cases and controls in populations I and II both at univariate and multivariate analyses, and this was confirmed in a metaanalysis with || previously published populations. The metaanalysis, however, suggested a protective role of the T allele on CAD as an end point in Asian populations. In conclusion, these data suggest a significant heterogeneity for a modulating role of the T allele in the C₂₄₂T polymorphism of p22-phox for the occurrence of CAD across ethnicities,with the absence of a significant effect in Caucasians.
