ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the distribution on K469E single nucleotide polymorphism of ICAM-1 gene among people with Uygur ethnicity, in Xinjiang and to analyze the correlation between ICAM-1 gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>245 patients with coronary heart disease patients and 377 healthy controls in Xinjiang Uygur population were studied. ICAM-1 gene K469E genotype located in exon 6 were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Distribution of genotypes in the two groups appeared to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05). The distribution of genotypes showed significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.039)and the distributions of K and E allele also presented statistically significant difference (P = 0.031). Significant difference was also observed in males(P = 0.029 for genotype, P = 0.025 for allele)but not in females. After adjusted for confounding factors, results from logistic regression analysis indicated that KK genotype was a risk factor for CHD in Uygur male population (OR = 2.389, 95% CI1.458-3.915, P = 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Genetic polymorphism of ICAM-1 K469E might increase the risk for coronary artery disease in males of Uygur patients in Xinjiang.</p>
