Abstract
Purpose: We have previously shown that the TT genotype (rs579459 location of the ABO gene) is significantly associated with circulating levels of e-selectin in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that this genotype would be associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: Patients with suspected OSA who had a full diagnostic polysomnogram from 2003 to 2011 were recruited; CV events occurring within 8 years of polysomnography were identified by linkage to provincial health databases. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the incidence of first CV events as a function of the rs579459 genotype.
Results: In this targeted study, 408 patients were studied, and 39 incident events were identified. A larger proportion of patients with the TT genotype had an event (31/247; 12.6%) than the CT and CC genotypes (8/161; 5.0%); in univariate analysis, the TT genotype was significantly associated with CV events (HR = 2.53; 95% CI = 1.16-5.51, p = 0.02). After adjustment for age, AHI, sex, smoking, diabetes, statin use, and BMI, the TT genotype remained a significant predictor (HR = 2.35; 95% CI = 1.02-5.42, p = 0.046). No events were found in patients with an absence of both OSA and the TT genotype (N = 30). The effect of the SNP was partially (16.2%) mediated by e-selectin levels.
Conclusion: This is the first study to examine genetic variants as a risk factor for incident CVD in the context of OSA. Although these results are preliminary and in need of replication, it suggests that genetic markers may become useful in helping to guide precision clinical care.
