The association between variants on chromosome 9p21 and inflammatory biomarkers in ethnically diverse women with coronary heart disease: a pilot study.
Biol Res Nurs. 2011 Jul; 13(3): 306-19
Beckie TM, Beckstead JW, Groer MW
Background: The most consistently replicated genetic variants associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in populations of European descent have been found on chromosome 9p21. Yet there is little known about these associations in ethnic groups of African ancestry. These disease-associated variants are located in a genomic region of unknown function. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the allelic frequencies and haplotype structure of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Black and White women with CHD. The authors also sought to explore the relationship between these genetic variants and biomarkers of inflammation. Methods: Using polymerase chain reaction amplification, the authors genotyped 8 SNPs in a 58-kilobase region of chromosome 9p21 in a cohort of women with CHD (n = 91). The authors examined the interethnic relationship between the SNPs and four inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: We found considerable interethnic allelic and haplotype diversity across the 9p21 locus, with only two SNPs in perfect linkage disequilibrium (LD) in both races. A pair of high- and low-risk haplotypes was most common in White women, while about 41% of Blacks carried the risk alleles for three of the eight SNPs the authors examined. The interethnic associations between the SNP genotypes and inflammatory markers were divergent in both direction and magnitude. Conclusions: Our results lend support for the importance of ancestry-specific allelic context when examining variants on chromosome 9p21. Additional work is needed to elucidate the genetic contribution to inflammatory biomarkers for diverse racial groups.

Point-of-care assessment of platelet aggregation in paediatric open heart surgery.
Br J Anaesth. 2011 Jun 22;
Hofer A, Kozek-Langenecker S, Schaden E, Panholzer M, Gombotz H
BACKGROUND: /st> Congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with complex coagulation abnormalities. Platelet aggregability has not been investigated in detail in children with acyanotic and cyanotic malformations undergoing open heart surgery. The method of whole-blood multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) appears suitable for rapid platelet analysis in children, for example, because of small sample volumes. We investigated perioperative evolution of platelet aggregation by means of MEA in children with CHD. METHODS: /st> Fifty children with acyanotic or cyanotic malformations were included in a prospective observational study. Laboratory testing was assessed before anaesthesia, and during and after surgery until the fifth postoperative day. MEA was performed in hirudin-anticoagulated blood using adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid, and thrombin receptor-activating peptide for platelet activation. Surgical variables, bleeding volumes, and transfusion requirements were documented during hospital stay. RESULTS: /st> Mean platelet count was within the normal range in all patients with no intergroup differences. Before surgery, aggregation to all agonists was within the age-adjusted normal range in cyanotic children and was statistically significantly higher compared with acyanotic children. Platelet aggregation decreased significantly during surgery in both groups followed by a slow recovery not reaching baseline levels. Bleeding and platelet transfusions were higher in the cyanotic group. Transfusion requirements correlated with ADP-induced platelet aggregation. CONCLUSIONS: /st> These results indicate higher blood loss, despite better platelet aggregation in cyanotic patients compared with acyanotic patients. MEA alone might not be suitable for predicting increased perioperative blood loss.
