Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major angiogenic factor. Increased levels of VEGF have been reported in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The role of VEGF polymorphisms in MetS susceptibility, however, has not been reported previously. Thus, the present study was performed to analyze the associations between the VEGF ‑634G>C and 936C>T polymorphisms and the patients with MetS. A total of 320 patients with MetS (mean age, 49.86±11.76 years) and 320 healthy subjects (mean age, 50.94±8.43 years) were enrolled in the study. The VEGF ‑634G>C polymorphism in the 5'‑untranslated region (UTR) and 936C>T polymorphism in 3'‑UTR were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction‑restriction fragment length polymorphism. The VEGF ‑634G>C polymorphism significantly affected MetS susceptibility. The CC genotype of the ‑634G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of MetS [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=3.973; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.321‑6.799; P<0.0001]. AORs of the dominant (GG vs. GC+CC) and recessive models (GG+GC vs. CC) between the cases and controls were 2.569 (95% CI, 1.657‑3.983; P<0.0001) and 2.163 (95% CI, 1.475‑3.171; P=0.0001), respectively. Haplotypes of ‑634G>C and 936C>T were also associated with MetS susceptibility. When the haplotype data were stratified by gender, the association remained only in males. The ‑634G>C polymorphism was also associated with the subgroups of MetS risk components by the stratification analysis. The 936C>T polymorphism was, however, not associated with the MetS susceptibility. The present study demonstrates that the VEGF ‑634G>C polymorphism and haplotypes may be a genetic determinant for the MetS susceptibility. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the significant association of the VEGF polymorphisms in MetS patients. To confirm the effects of the VEGF polymorphisms on MetS, further functional and population studies are required.
