Abstract:
In this study, we determined to interpret the effects of the interleukin (IL)1B gene rs1143634 C/T polymorphism on myocardial infarction (MI) risk. This study, conducted in a Chinese Han population, recruited 369 MI patients and 465 controls. The variant of IL1B gene (rs1143634 C/T polymorphism) was genotyped by PCR-RFLP method. In this study, a significant link was shown between the IL1B rs1143634 C/T polymorphism and MI risk. We found that the IL1B rs1143634 C/T polymorphism enhanced the risk of MI in this population. Subgroup analysis detected that the IL1B rs1143634 C/T polymorphism associated with MI susceptibility in males, smokers, and individuals with diabetes mellitus. In addition, the IL1B rs1143634 C/T polymorphism was related with the levels of blood lipids including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and total cholesterol (TC). This study uncovers that the IL1B rs1143634 C/T polymorphism may associate with the risk and blood lipid levels of MI in an Eastern Chinese Han population.Abbreviations: MI: myocardial infarction; IL-1: Interleukin-1; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; BMI: Body Mass Index; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; PCR: polymerase chain reaction; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; OR: odds ratio.
