To assess the potential association between ADIPOQ rs266729 and rs1501299 gene polymorphisms, either isolated or in combination, and cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 674 patients seen at the rheumatology outpatient clinics of Hospital Xeral-Calde, Lugo, and Hospital San Carlos, Madrid, Spain, were analyzed. Genotyping was performed using predesigned TaqMan assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Carotid intima-media thickness, flow-mediated endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent post-nitroglycerin vasodilatation, which are used as surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, were measured in a subsample. No significant differences in the genotype, allele or allele combination frequencies of both polymorphisms were found between RA patients with or without cardiovascular events or subclinical atherosclerosis. Therefore, ADIPOQ rs266729 and rs1501299 polymorphisms do not seem to be associated with cardiovascular disease in RA.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011110	Polymorphism, Genetic	The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D001172	Arthritis, Rheumatoid	A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated.	Rheumatoid Arthritis
D054392	Adipokines	Polypeptides produced by the ADIPOCYTES. They include LEPTIN; ADIPONECTIN; RESISTIN; and many cytokines of the immune system, such as TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA; INTERLEUKIN-6; and COMPLEMENT FACTOR D (also known as ADIPSIN). They have potent autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine functions.	Adipocytokine,Adipocytokines,Adipokine
