Abstract Polymorphisms in the LPA gene have been associated with aortic valve calcification (AVC). There are wide differences in the allelic frequencies, Lp(a) levels, and the association with AVC among ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to determine the association of the LPA gene polymorphisms with Lp(a) levels and risk of developing AVC, in Mexican-Mestizos population. Six LPA polymorphisms (rs10455872, rs7765803, rs6907156, rs1321195, rs12212807 and rs6919346) were genotyped by TaqMan assays in 1,265 individuals without premature coronary artery disease. The presence of AVC was determined by computed tomography. The association of the LPA polymorphisms with AVC, Lp(a), and other cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Compared to AA genotype, subjects with AG+GG genotypes had high prevalence of Lp(a) ≥ 30 mg/dL (7.1% vs. 23.7%, p<0.001) and AVC (19.0% vs. 29.4%, p=0.007). In a model adjusted for several CVRF, the LPA rs10455872-G allele was associated with high Lp(a) levels and AVC. Carriers of G allele had a high risk of Lp(a) ≥ 30 mg/dL (OR= 3.86, CI 95%: 2.2 - 6.7, p=0.001) and AVC (OR= 2.54, CI 95%: 1.56 - 4.14, p=0.001), independently of other CVRF. In this population, carriers of rs10455872-G allele had 3.86 and 2.54 higher risk of Lp(a) ≥ 30 mg/dL or presence of AVC, respectively.
