Genetic and environmental factors interact in coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. While some genetic predispositions are resistant to lifestyle changes, most cases involve gene-environment interactions, offering potential for tailored treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Genetics
  • Nutrigenomics
  • Metabolic Diseases

Background:

  • Genetic and environmental factors interplay in individual health outcomes.
  • Certain genetic factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) show resistance to lifestyle modifications.
  • A significant portion of CAD cases result from interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the complex interactions between genetic predispositions and environmental factors in coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • To investigate how lifestyle choices can modify genetically influenced CAD risk.
  • To identify potential genetic targets for personalized metabolic disorder diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on genetic and environmental interactions in CAD.

  • Analysis of genetic factors influencing CAD susceptibility and resistance.
  • Examination of lifestyle modifications' impact on genetically determined CAD risk.

    • Main Results:

    • Genetically determined resistance or susceptibility to CAD (e.g., hyperalpha- or hypobetalipoproteinemia, high Lp[a] levels) may not always be modulated by lifestyle.
    • Approximately 5% of the population exhibits genetic extremes influencing CAD risk.
    • In 95% of cases, gene-environment interactions are evident, with lifestyle potentially ameliorating genetic predispositions (e.g., familial hypercholesterolemia).

    Conclusions:

    • Individual responsiveness to environmental factors, including diet, is genetically determined.
    • Identification of specific genes influencing diet response is crucial for future research.
    • Future advancements may enable early diagnosis of metabolic issues and personalized diet and drug therapies based on genetic profiles.
