Background

There is increasing evidence that lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LpPLA2) is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, it is still unclear whether LpPLA2 is simply a marker or has a causal role as either a pro- or anti-atherogenic factor.

Methods

We analyzed the association of five polymorphisms (-1357G>A, -403T>C, Arg92His, Ile198Thr, Ala379Val) and related haplotypes at the PLA2G7 locus with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD), plasma LpPLA2 activity, and long-term survival in 3234 patients scheduled for coronary angiography.

Results

The promoter variant -403C and His(92) were associated with a decrease and Val(379) with an increase in plasma LpPLA2 activity. Both coding variants revealed a clear gene-dose effect. Interestingly, the rare Thr(198) allele, which was not associated with any change in plasma LpPLA2 activity, was more frequent in subjects without CAD (P = 0.009), with an adjusted odds ratio for CAD of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.49-0.96; P = 0.029). None of the analyzed variants showed any robust association with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.

Conclusion

Irrespective of the significant association between some variants with plasma LpPLA2 activity, it is still unclear whether these polymorphisms or haplotypes are associated with the risk and outcome of cardiovascular disease in Caucasians."xsd:string
