ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the association between matrix metalloproteinase 9 gene (MMP9) -1562C/T polymorphism and myocardial infarction (MI) in Uighur population of Xinjiang.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 347 patients with MI evidenced by coronary arteriography, and 403 controls free from coronary artery disease with normal angiograms were recruited for the study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the -1562C/T functional promoter polymorphism of the MMP9 gene. The relationship between the polymorphism and the severity of coronary arterial stenosis was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The results showed that the frequency of CT and TT genotypes in patients with MI (27.67%) was significantly higher than that in controls (14.14%). The frequencies of the -1562T allele were 15.71% and 7.56% in the MI group and the control group respectively (chi-square=24.57, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the T allele carriers (CT+TT) had significantly increased risk of MI compared with the CC carriers (OR=2.009, 95%CI 1.250-3.230). Individuals carrying the -1562T allele with diabetes mellitus were at an increased risk of MI (OR=3.714, 95%CI 1.299-10.773). The frequencies of CT and TT genotypes were not significantly different among MI patients with one, two and three or more significantly diseased vessels (chi-square=0.491, P=0.782).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The -1562C/T polymorphism in the MMP9 gene promoter is associated with the susceptibility to MI in the Uighur population of Xinjiang. The T allele might be a risk factor of MI. And there was a coordinated effect between the -1562T allele and diabetes mellitus in the development of MI. The -1562C/T polymorphism may not be a predictor of the severity of coronary atherosclerosis.</p>
