Recent experimental studies sparked the involvement of autophagy-related 7 (ATG7) in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the genetic variants and their association with coronary artery disease (CAD) are still to be unveiled. Therefore, we aimed to design a retrospective case-control study for the analysis of ATG7 gene polymorphisms and their association with CAD among the subjects originating from Pakistan. The ATG7 noncoding polymorphisms (rs1375206; Chr3:11297643 C/G and rs550744886; Chr3:11272004 C/G) were examined in 600 subjects, including 300 individuals diagnosed with CAD. Arginase-1 (ARG1) and nitric oxide metabolites were measured by the colorimetric enzymatic assay. Genotyping of noncoding ATG7 polymorphisms was accomplished by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. A significant association of ATG7 (rs1375206 and rs550744886) was observed in individuals exhibiting CAD (P < .0001, for each single-nucleotide polymorphism). Moreover, variant allele G at both loci showed high occurrence and significant association with the disease phenotype as compared to the wild-type allele (odds ratio [OR] = 2.03, P < .0001 and OR = 2.08, P < .001, respectively). Variant genotypes at ATG7 rs1375206 and rs550744886 showed significant association with high concentrations of ARG1 and low nitric oxide metabolites among the patients (P < .0001 for each). A significant difference was noted in the distribution of the haplotype G-G, mapped at Chr3:11297643-11272004 between cases and controls (P < .0001). The study concludes that ATG7 polymorphisms are among the risk factors for CAD in the subjects from Pakistan. The study thus highlights the novel risk factors for high incidents of the disease and reported for the first time to the best of our knowledge.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D000071193 Autophagy-Related Protein 7 An autophagy related protein that is similar to UBIQUITIN-ACTIVATING ENZYME E1. It functions in CYTOPLASM to VACUOLE transport (Cvt) and AUTOPHAGY by activating ATG12 PROTEIN for its conjugation with ATG5 PROTEIN, as well as the conjugation of ATG8 FAMILY PROTEINS with phosphatidylethanolamine for ATG8 association to Cvt vesicles and AUTOPHAGOSOME membranes. It is also required for the nitrogen starvation response in yeast, MITOPHAGY; and autophagic cell death induced by CASPASE 8 inhibition.

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest. The relationship of an attribute is examined by comparing both groups with regard to the frequency or levels of outcome over time.
