| Background: Family history of premature atheroscle-rosis imposes a high risk to people. The relationship between atherosclerosis and gene polymorphisms of various biomarkers such as Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and In-terleukin-6 (IL-6) has shown in previous studies.Aims: The major aim of the study was to evaluate the CRP, eNOS, and IL-6 gene polymorphisms in a group of adolescents who have a parental history of early cor-onary artery disease (CAD).Study Design: Case-control study.Methods: Thirty-six volunteers with a father with obstructive CAD during the first four decades and 46 subjects with a father with normal coronary arteries documented with coronary angiography were includ-ed in the study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques were used to analyze CRP, eNOS, and IL-6 polymorphisms.Results: We did not find any differences between the two groups with regard to age, sex, body mass index, renal func-tions, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, lipid profile, and fasting glucose, hemoglobin, and high sensitivity CRP. A significant difference was only observed in IL-6-572 G/C genotype distribution and allele frequency between two groups (Pc=0.036 OR=3.48 CI (95%) 1.17-10.32).Conclusion: The present study showed a significant association between the IL-6-572 G/C gene polymor-phism (presence of C allele) and adolescents with a pa-rental history of premature CAD |
