Frequent Mutation in the ABCC6 Gene (R1141X) Is Associated With a Strong Increase in the Prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an inborn disorder of the connective tissue with specific skin, ocular, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) manifestations. Recently, we and others have identified mutations in the gene coding for the ABCC6 transporter in PXE patients with ocular and skin involvement. In the Netherlands, as in the rest of Europe, a particular premature truncation variant ABCC6 (R1141X) was found in a large cohort of PXE patients. Given the association between CVD and PXE, we hypothesized that heterozygosity of this ABCC6 mutation could also confer an increased risk for CVD. METHODS AND RESULTS: To assess the relationship between the frequent R1141X mutation in the ABCC6 gene and the prevalence of premature coronary artery disease (CAD), we conducted a case-control study of 441 patients under the age of 50 years who had definite CAD and 1057 age- and sex-matched population-based controls who were free of coronary disease. Strikingly, the prevalence of the R1141X mutation was 4.2 times higher among patients than among controls (3.2% versus 0.8%; P<0.001). Consequently, among subjects with the R1141X mutation, the odds ratio for a coronary event was 4.23 (95% CI: 1.76 to 10.20, P= 0.001). CONCLUSION: The presence of the R1141X mutation in the ABCC6 gene is associated with a sharply increased risk of premature CAD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
