Description
| - The Fro gene plays an important role in the determination of body weight and BMI and it has been suspected of being associated with all-case mortality. Methods: We have analyzed the FTO rs17817449 variant in consecutive 1092 male patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and in 1191 randomly selected Caucasian individuals (population controls). Results: The FTO variant was significantly associated with BMI both in controls (P<0.02) and ACS patients (P<0.01). In both groups, BMI was highest in GC homozygotes and lowest in IT homozygotes. There was a significant difference between the ACS patients and controls in the frequency of the FTO genotype GC (21.4% vs. 15.9%, P<0.005). FTO GG homozygotes had a significantly increased risk of ACS, compared with TT homozygotes which was independent of age and BMI (odds ratio 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.16-1.93). The odds ratio of ACS patients for the GC genotype remained significant even after the exclusion of diabetics (100 controls and 339 ACS patients), with OR 1.32 (95% Cl 1.01-1.72). Conclusions: This study provides an evidence of an association between the FTO variant and risk of ACS in Caucasian males.
