{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Vasospastic angina (VSA) is vasospasm of the coronary artery and is particularly prevalent in East Asian populations. However, the specific genetic architecture for VSA at genome-wide levels is not fully understood.
UNASSIGNED: To identify genetic factors associated with VSA.
UNASSIGNED: This was a case-control genome-wide association study of VSA. Data from Biobank Japan (BBJ; enrolled patients from 2002-2008 and 2013-2018) were used, and controls without coronary artery disease (CAD) were enrolled. Patients from the BBJ were genotyped using arrays or a set of arrays. Patients recruited between 2002 and 2005 were classified within the first dataset, and those recruited between 2006 and 2008 were classified within the second dataset. To replicate the genome-wide association study in the first and second datasets, VSA cases and control samples from the latest patients in the BBJ recruited between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed in a third dataset.
UNASSIGNED: Single-nucleotide variants associated with VSA.
UNASSIGNED: Cases with VSA and controls without CAD.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 5720 cases (mean [SD] age, 67 [10] years; 3672 male [64.2%]) and 153 864 controls (mean [SD] age, 62 [15] years; 77 362 male [50.3%]) in 3 datasets were included in this study. The variants at the RNF213 locus showed the strongest association with VSA across the 3 datasets (odds ratio [OR], 2.34; 95% CI, 1.99-2.74; P = 4.4 × 10-25). Additionally, rs112735431, an Asian-specific rare deleterious variant (p.Arg4810Lys) experimentally shown to be associated with reduced angiogenesis and a well-known causal risk for Moyamoya disease was the most promising candidate for a causal variant explaining the association. The effect size of rs112735431 on VSA was distinct from that of other CADs. Furthermore, homozygous carriers of rs112735431 showed an association with VSA characterized by a large effect estimate (OR, 18.34; 95% CI, 5.15-65.22; P = 7.0 × 10-6), deviating from the additive model (OR, 4.35; 95% CI, 1.18-16.05; P = .03). Stratified analyses revealed that rs112735431 exhibited a stronger association in males (χ21 = 7.24; P = .007) and a younger age group (OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 2.24-4.19), corresponding to the epidemiologic features of VSA. In the registry, carriers without CAD of the risk allele rs112735431 had a strikingly high mortality rate due to acute myocardial infarction during the follow-up period (hazard ratio, 2.71; 95% CI, 1.57-4.65; P = 3.3 × 10-4). As previously reported, a possible overlap between VSA and Moyamoya disease was not found.
UNASSIGNED: Results of this study suggest that vascular cell dysfunction mediated by variants in the RNF213 locus may promote coronary vasospasm, and the presence of the risk allele could serve as a predictive factor for the prognosis.
