Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Single nucleotide polymorphisms of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) was reported to have association with arterial vascular disease. We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphism of VKORC1 +2255 is associated with clinical outcomes among patients who underwent drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. METHODS:We prospectively collected genomic DNA in patients who underwent DES deployment from September 2003 to December 2006 and compared clinical outcomes according to their VKORC1 genotype at the locus + 2255 (rs 2359612). The primary end point was composite of atherothrombotic events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and nonhemorrhagic stroke). RESULTS:Mean follow-up duration was 631 +/- 251 days. Genotyping was completed in 764 cases (TT genotype [n = 640, 83.8%] vs non-TT [CC or CT] genotype [n = 124, 16.2%]). Non-TT group showed more composite events than TT group (7.3% vs 3.0%, P = .032). In the Cox regression analysis, non-TT genotype of VKORC gene was a significant predictor of atherothrombotic events (hazard ratio 2.56, 95% confidence interval 1.14-5.78). In the event-free survival analysis, non-TT group also showed significantly poorer cardiovascular events-free survival rate than TT group (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS:VKORC1 genotype is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with DES implantation, suggesting the role of coagulation system.
