简介
Rationale:
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Immune functions play a vital role in ACS development; however, whether epigenetic modulation contributes to the regulation of blood immune cells in this disease has not been investigated.
Objective:
We conducted an epigenome-wide analysis with circulating immune cells to identify differentially methylated genes in ACS.
Methods and Results:
We examined genome-wide methylation of whole blood in 102 ACS patients and 101 controls using HumanMethylation450 array, and externally replicated significant discoveries in 100 patients and 102 controls. For the replicated loci, we further analyzed their association with ACS in 6 purified leukocyte subsets, their correlation with the expressions of annotated genes, and their association with cardiovascular traits/risk factors. We found novel and reproducible association of ACS with blood …
