Genetic Variants Of Pear1 And Ischemic Clinical Outcomes In Coronary Artery Disease Patients: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the association between PEAR1 polymorphisms and ischemic clinical outcomes. Materials & methods: We searched the electronic database for articles on the relationship of PEAR1 SNPs and ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) up to October 2020. Results: A total of 9914 patients with CAD from six studies focusing on 12 SNPs of PEAR1 were included in this study. The A allele of rs12041331 were associated with ischemic events (odds ratio: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.04-1.88; p = 0.03). The AA homozygotes of rs2768759 was related to a higher risk of ischemic events than carriers of the C allele (odds ratio: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.09-3.97; p = 0.03). Conclusion: PEAR1 rs12041331 and rs2768759 are significantly associated with ischemic events in patients with CAD.
