ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between osteoprotegerin ( OPG ) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to large-artery atherosclerotic stroke ( LAA ). Methods A total of 1 010 patients with LAA registered in Nanjing Stroke Registry Program between August 2013 and May 2017 were retrieved, and 1 121 healthy residents were selected as controls. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms of rs2073617 and rs3134069 of OPG gene were genotyped by SNPscan technique. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between rs2073617/rs3134069 and susceptibility to LAA. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the rs3134069 C allele (odds ratio [OR] 1.39, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1.13-1.71; P=0.002) and its corresponding CC/CA genotype (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.14-1.80; P=0.002) were the independent risk factors for LAA. Stratification analysis showed that this association was more pronounced in the subgroups of olderly (≥60 years), those with hypertension, smoking or without diabetes and hyperlipidemia. In addition, haplotype analysis showed that G-C haplotype of rs2073617/rs3134069 was also an independent risk factor for LAA onset (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.10-1.68; P=0.005). Conclusion OPG gene polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to LAA.
