Because the thrombin-tm complex acts as an anticoagulant, the functional variants or deficiency of TM may lead to increment of thrombotic tendency. In this study, we screened the genetic variants of the TM gene in patients with myocardial infarction MI and analyzed the genotype to elucidate the effects of genetic variations of TM gene on the development of the MI. We screened a promoter region and coding sequence of the TM gene using single strand conformation polymorphism-heteroduplex analysis and identified three common genetic variantsthose were TM G-33A, TM Ala455Val, and TM C1922T. The genotype frequencies were investigated in the patients with MI n234 and control subjects n291 by the method of allele-specific oligomer hybridization. The frequencies of mutant genotypes TM 33A, TM 455Val, and TM 1922T were higher in patient group compared to the control subjects in males while there were no significant differences in females. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, TM 455Val and TM 1922T alleles were independent risk factors for MI OR95% CI1.7991.1252.878 p0.014 and 5.6241.01931.025, p0.048, respectively in males. However, the genetic variations were not independent risk factors for MI in females. There were significant linkage disequilibriums among three genetic variants. These linkage disequilibriums explain the similar effects of three genetic variants on the development of MI. To investigate the effect of the TM G-33A mutation on TM promoter activity, the two TM promoter constructs ptm-355 and ptm-125, bearing TM 33G or TM 33A containing of firefly luciferase gene were transfected into HepG2, BAE, and CHO cells. The promoter activities were higher in the promoter constructs with TM 33G compared to the constructs with TM 33A in ptm-355. These results suggest the possibility of the positive predisposing effect of TM 33A allele on MI in males. The functional study for TM Ala455Val and TM C1922T should be followed to elucidate the genotype effects of these mutations on the development of MI. In this study, we identified three genetic variants of TM gene and showed the significant associations between genetic variants and MI in males. These results proposed that TM gene is an attractive candidate for genetic risk factor for MI in Koreans.
