    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to refine the chromosomal region 12q24.1 associated with coronary artery disease in Han Chinese populations. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms covering 1.2 Mb of chromosomal 12q24.1 were selected and genotyped in three geographically isolated case-control populations consisting of 7076 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and non-CAD participants. In addition to replication of the previous block (block 1), we identified a novel block (block 2) associated with CAD. In a combined analysis, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval, permuted P value) were 0.79 (0.72-0.86, 8.358×10) and 1.24 (1.13-1.36, 2.576×10) for haplotypes ATGGG and GCACA in block 1 and 1.22 (1.14-1.30, 6.484×10) and 0.82 (0.77-0.88, 6.484×10) for haplotypes GA and AG in block 2, respectively. Protective alleles of two index single nucleotide polymorphisms decreased the expression of NAA25 (P=0.034), but did not alter the expression of other genes within block 2. CONCLUSION: We identified a novel block associated with CAD at chromosomal 12q24.
