University of Leicester scientists led an international team of Ifna1 research results, published in the Lancet medical journal (The Lancet). The association of researchers in a four-year study reveals Y chromosome with a common heart disease - coronary artery disease (coronary artery disease), suggesting that the disease can be father to son through the Y chromosome.Coronary artery disease also known as that the coronary heart disease (coronary Heart disease.) Yes refers to the to IFNA10 and lead to the blood flow to obstruction of the disease due to the fat is calm the accumulation of within the in the coronary artery endometrial cells of. The two main coronary arteries branch, lipid deposition gradually spread, a process known as atherosclerosis. The formation of atherosclerotic plaques in convex to the arteries, the arteries narrow. Coronary artery obstruction, myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood supply), can lead to Ifna11 myocardial damage. Is the the world's the the highest mortality one of the diseases. Up to 88,236 people in 2008 alone, the United Kingdom because of cases of coronary heart disease death. And compared with women of all ages, male coronary heart disease incidence higher.In this article, the University of Leicester researchers from Ifna13 three groups: the British Heart Heart Foundation Family Heart Study (BHF-FHS), West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) and cardiac disease The Y chromosome of the biological study of 3233 unrelated British men carried out the genotyping analysis. The researchers found that 90% of British male Y chromosome variation belong to these two IFNA14 haploid groups: R1b1b2 and I. Exclude high cholesterol, hypertension and smoking, risk factors, further research shows that carry I haploid groups of the Y chromosome of male coronary heart disease risk increased by 50%.
Clinical Senior Lecturer, University of Leicester Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, chief researcher Maciej Tomaszewski, said: "The study found that we are very excited, because it the first time, the Y chromosome on coronary heart disease on the genetic susceptibility map and we hope further analysis of the Y chromosome to find the specific gene and mutation associated with this. "This study, the British Heart Foundation, the British National Health Research Institute, LEW - the Cart Charitable Fund, the Australian National Health Research Council, the European Union, the Wellcome Trust, UK (the Wellcome Trust) funding.Involved in this project from King's College London, University of Glasgow, University of Leeds, United Kingdom Kelsang Research Institute, University of Cambridge, University of Ballarat, Australia, and Australia Garvan Institute of Medical Research, University of Luebeck in Germany, and Reagan Adams Newcastle University, University of Paris VI, France and School of Medicine scientists.
