Methods We genotyped 200 CAD patients without diabetes and 200 controls without CAD or diabetes at three single-nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） in ADIPOR1 and one SNP in SUM04, which were chosen based on previous studies. Potential associations were also explored between these SNPs and clinical characteristics of CAD without diabetes. Results Risk alleles at three SNPs inADIPOR1 （rs7539542-G, rs7514221-C and rs3737884-G） and the G allele at SNP rs237025 in SUM04 significantly increased risk of CAD without diabetes, with ORs ranging from 1.79 to 4.44. Carriers of any of these four risk alleles showed similar adverse clinical characteristics. Compared with individuals with a CC or GC genotype, those with a GG genotype at rs3737884 were at significantly higher risk of CAD that affected the left anterior descending coronary artery （OR： 6.77, P = 0.009）, the right coronary artery （OR： 4.81, P = 0.028） or a relatively large number of vessels （P = 0.04）. Individuals carrying a risk allele at one or more of the three SNPs in ADIPOR1 as well as a risk allele at the SNP in SUM04 were at significantly higher risk of CAD without diabetes than individuals not carrying any risk alleles （OR： 5.82, 95% CI： 1.23-27.7, P= 0.013）. Conelusions SNPs in ADIPORl and SUMO4 are associated with elevated risk of CAD without diabetes, and SNPs in the two genes may interact to jointly affect disease risk.展开更多
