    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of Leu125Val and Ser563Asn polymorphism of the gene encoding platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1) with coronary heart disease. METHODS: This study included 156 patients with the diagnoses of coronary heart disease (CHD) and coronary lesions derived from electrocardiography, myocardial enzyme analysis and coronary angiography as the CHD group, and another 75 in-patients admitted within the same period who showed no signs of CHD in the above examinations constituted the control group. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed to examine the missense polymorphism of PECAM-1gene in the position of Leu125Val and Ser563Asn. RESULTS: There were significant differences between CHD and control group in terms of the allele frequencies and genotype distributions of PECAM-1 gene, and the differences were especially conspicuous in the allele frequencies of 125Val and 563Asn (P<0.05) and genotype distributions of 125Val/Val and 563Asn/Asn. CONCLUSION: PECAM-1 gene polymorphism 1 may be a genetic risk factor for coronary heart disease.
