摘要: Background Oxygen free radicals such as superoxide anion have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). The nonglycosylated 22 kDa α-subunit NADH/NADPH oxidase (p22 phox) vasculature acts final electron transporter generation anion. Recently, a common polymorphism (C242T) at codon 72 p22 phox gene has reported to be associated with CHD risk. Study design We examined role C242T risk biracial sample Asian Indians Chinese from Singapore. comprised angiographically confirmed patients (126 151 Chinese) age- sex-matched healthy control subjects (154 167 Chinese). Results The frequency T allele was significantly higher Indian than (0.38 vs. 0.09; P < 0.0001). However, there no difference this between case either (0.10 0.09) or 0.40). This also not plasma lipid apolipoprotein levels any group. Conclusions The is present samples Chinese.
