چکیده
Recent prospective analysis identified secretory phospholipase A(2)-IIa (sPLA(2)IIa) as a coronary artery disease (CAD) risk predictor. This study aimed to examine the relationship between serum levels of sPLA(2)IIa and variation in the sPLA(2)IIa gene (PLA2G2A) in a cohort of patients with Type II diabetes (T2D) mellitus. Six tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) accounting for > 92% of the genetic variability in PLA2G2A were identified and distinguished six common haplotypes (frequencies > 5%). In the 523 Caucasian T2D patients, levels of sPLA(2)IIa, independent of CRP, were negatively correlated with total antioxidant status (P = 0.003) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = 0.006) in men and correlated with CAD status in women (P = 0.002) (Odds ratio of top two tertiles versus bottom = 2.50) [95% CI (1.13-5.53) P = 0.024]. Overall, tSNP haplotypes showed a highly significant association with sPLA(2)IIa levels (P < 0.0001), explaining 6.3% of the variance. The most common haplotype (frequency 14.2%) was associated with 53% higher sPLA(2)IIa levels [3.25 ng/ml (+/- 0.14)] compared with the combined other haplotypes [2.13 ng/ml (+/- 0.09), P < 0.00001]. Five of the six tSNPs were associated with significant effects on sPLA(2)IIa levels but the raising haplotype could not be distinguished by a single tSNP and none are likely to be functional. These data confirm the relationship between elevated sPLA(2)IIa levels and CAD risk reported in both cases: control and prospective analyses. The strong impact of PLA2G2A haplotypic variation on sPLA(2)IIa levels will help clarify the causality of this association.

Tagging SNP haplotype analysis of the secretory PLA2-V gene, PLA2G5, shows strong association with LDL and oxLDL levels, suggesting functional distinction from sPLA2-IIA: results from the UDACS study.
Animal and human studies suggest that both secretory PLA2 (sPLA2)-V and sPLA2-IIA (encoded, respectively, by the neighbouring PLA2G5 and PLA2G2A genes) contribute to atherogenesis. Elevated plasma sPLA2-IIA predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, but no mass assay for sPLA2-V is available. We previously reported that tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (tSNP) haplotypes of PLA2G2A are st...

The 763C>G Polymorphism of The Secretory PLA2IIa Gene Is Associated with Endometriosis in Iranian Women
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease resulting from complex interactions between genetic, hormonal, environmental and oxidative stress and intrinsic inflammatory components. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association of the 763C>G polymorphism in the secretory phospholipase A2 group IIa gene (PLA2G2A) with the risk of endometriosis in Iranian women...

Dear Editor, The recent article by Mohammadzadeh et al.[1] on the latest issue of this Journal showed that the T allele +276G/T SNP of ADIPOQ gene is more associated with the increasing risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Adipocytes were described in myocardial tissue of CAD patients and their role recently discussed[2,3]. Susceptibility to CAD by polymorp...

Background:Many case-control investigations have showed the correlation of TP53 gene polymorphisms with the risk of breast cancer. However, the findings are not consistent. It has been suggested that the investigation of P53 genotype combinations and haplotypes may be more helpful than the detection of single polymorphisms. In the present study, we investigate...
