Abstract Introduction Until now, only few studies have reported the correlation between vesicle-associated membrane protein-8 (VAMP-8) A/G gene polymorphism and acute myocardial infarction. Whereas, theoretically, VAMP-8 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction through platelet activation, secretion, and aggregation. Objective To investigate the association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out at Saiful Anwar General Hospital during June 2013 - May 2014. A Mae II enzyme with restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used to genotype VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphisms in acute myocardial infarction and control groups. A multiple logistic regression test was used to analyze the association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Results A total of 35 controls and 97 acute myocardial infarction patients from our Hospital during the period were enrolled for our study. Our results found that VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism was not associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, we also failed to confer the association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and both smoking and hypertension among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Furthermore, in the setting of premature acute myocardial infarction, the correlation also failed to confirm. Conclusion In our population, there is no association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of acute myocardial infarction.
Resumen Introducción Hasta la fecha, solo unos pocos estudios han reportado la correlación entre el polimorfismo A/G del gen de la proteína de membrana asociada a vesículas-8 (VAMP-8, por sus siglas en inglés) y el infarto agudo de miocardio. Si bien, en teoría, VAMP-8 juega un papel fundamental en la patogénesis del infarto agudo de miocardio a través de la activación, secreción y agregación plaquetaria. Objetivo Investigar la relación entre el polimorfismo A/G del gen VAMP-8 y el riesgo de infarto agudo de miocardio.
