| Abstract | Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) play important roles in vascular system. FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism has shown to be a risk factor for many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Chinese population. We identified three polymorphisms in the FGFR4 gene, rs351855G/A (Gly388Arg), rs145302848C/G and rs147603016G/A, by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) in 658 CAD cases and 692 healthy controls. Results showed that frequencies of GA genotype, AA genotype and A allele in rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism were significantly lower in CAD patients than in controls [odds ratio (OR) = 0.79, 95 % confidence intervals (CI) 0.62–0.99, P = 0.042; OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.41–0.81, P = 0.002; and OR = 0.77, 95 % CI 0.66–0.90, P = 0.001, respectively]. The rs147603016GA genotype and A allele also showed lower numbers in CAD cases (OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.36–0.93, P = 0.025; and OR = 0.59, 95 % CI 0.40–0.95, P = 0.028). The rs145302848C/G polymorphism did not show any correlation with CAD. Haplotype analysis revealed that the prevalence of ACG haplotype (rs351855, rs145302848 and rs147603016) was significantly decreased in CAD patients (P = 0.002). Our data suggested that the FGFR4 rs351855G/A (Gly388Arg) and rs147603016G/A polymorphisms could act as protective factors against CAD in the Chinese population and indicated that a single gene polymorphism could have diverse functions in different diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
