Abstract: | Background High levels of circulating heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) and antibody to human Hsp60 have been associated with greater risk
of coronary heart disease (CHD) in several studies, but associations between polymorphisms of the hsp60 gene and CHD risk have not been investigated.
Methods By resequencing DNA from 30 unrelated Han Chinese and using HapMap Phase I Chinese data of hsp60 gene, we selected four tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) named rs2340690, rs788016, rs2305560, and rs2565163,
and determined their frequencies in 1,003 Chinese CHD patients and 1,003 age- and sex-frequency-matched controls. Furthermore,
we used PHASE 2.0 software to reconstruct haplotypes and logistic regression to control for potential confounders in multivariate
analyses.
Results We found 13 SNPs in hsp60 gene (including four novel SNPs) in Han Chinese subjects. Our results showed no significant differences in four selected
SNPs in patients with CHD and controls after adjusting for other conventional risk factors and stratifying by age, sex, smoking
status, past history of hypertension and DM; however, our results showed that subjects with the GCTC haplotype had about twofold higher risk of CHD than those with the GTTC haplotype (OR = 1.91, 95%CI: 1.26–2.89, P = 0.002).
Conclusions Our results suggest that the GCTC haplotype in the hsp60 gene is significantly associated with higher CHD risk in a Chinese population.
