Effect of PEAR1 Genetic Variants on 1-Year Outcomes in Chinese Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis 2018 May 2
AIMS: Platelet endothelial aggregation receptor-1 (PEAR1) is a platelet transmembrane protein that plays an important role on platelet aggregation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PEAR1 genetic variations are associated with 1-year outcomes in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention.
METHODS: A total of 647 consecutive Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction that underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and that were exposed to standard dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel were enrolled in this study. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms of PEAR1 were detected using the ligase detection reaction method. The follow-up period was 12 months.
RESULTS: Overall, 66 (10.2%) adverse ischemic events occurred. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that carriage of the PEAR1 rs56260937 minor allele was an independent predictor of revascularization events (OR=2.15, 95% CI 1.12-4.15, p=0.022) after adjusting for confounding factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Genetic testing for PEAR1 variants can be helpful in predicting adverse ischemic events in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention.
