Abstract Background To investigate the causal association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), calcium (Ca), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes using a Mendelian randomization approach. Methods Genetic signatures associated with serum 25OHD, Ca, and PTH levels were extracted from recently published genome-wide association study (GWAS), including 79,366, 39,400, 29,155 individuals, respectively. Genetic association estimates for CAD in patients with diabetes were obtained from a GWAS of 15,666 individuals with diabetes (3,968 CAD cases, 11,696 controls). The inverse-variance-weighted method was employed for the primary analysis, and other robust methods were applied for sensitivity analyses. Results Six, seven and five single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified as instrumental variables for serum 25OHD, Ca and PTH levels, respectively. There was no significant association between genetically predicted serum 25OHD levels and the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes (odds ratio (OR) = 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.58 - 1.87, P = 0.888). Similarly, genetically predicted serum Ca (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 0.62 – 5.35, P = 0.273) and PTH levels (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 0.67 – 2.44, P = 0.464) were not significantly associated with the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes. These findings were robust in sensitivity analyses. Conclusions/interpretation Serum 25OHD, Ca and PTH levels may not be causally associated with the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes.

Abstract Context Elevated circulating parathyroid hormone concentrations have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in observational studies, but whether the association is causal is unknown. Objective We used the Mendelian randomization design to test whether genetically increased serum parathyroid hormone (S-PTH) concentrations are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Design, Setting, and Participants Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms robustly associated with S-PTH concentrations were used as instrumental variables to estimate the association of genetically higher S-PTH concentrations with CAD. Summary statistics data for CAD were obtained from a genetic consortium with data from 184,305 individuals (60,801 CAD cases and 123,504 noncases). Main Outcome Measure OR of CAD per genetically predicted one SD increase of S-PTH concentrations. Results Genetically higher S-PTH concentration was not associated with CAD as a whole or myocardial infarction specifically (∼70% of total cases). The ORs per genetically predicted one SD increase in S-PTH concentration were 1.01 (95% CI: 0.93 to 1.09; P = 0.88) for CAD and 1.02 (95% CI: 0.94 to 1.10; P = 0.64) for myocardial infarction. The lack of association remained in various sensitivity analyses. Conclusion Genetic predisposition to higher S-PTH concentrations does not appear to be an independent risk factor for CAD.

Abstract Objectives Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) directly by augmenting atherosclerosis and indirectly through cardiovascular risk factors. The present study was aimed to find an association of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with lipid profile among established CAD. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 73 patients of angiographically confirmed CAD aged between 35 and 55 years of both gender. Serum 25(OH)D and lipid profile were estimated by ELISA kit and Roche autoanalyzer respectively. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and sdLDL (small dense low-density lipoprotein) were calculated using the accepted formula. Results The mean 25(OH)D level was 17.95 ± 13.51. Only 15% had sufficient 25(OH)D level. There was a significant negative correlation of 25(OH)D with TC/HDL (T.cholesterol/High-density lipoprotein) ratio (p=0.022). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed no statistically significant impact of 25(OH)D with lipid biomarkers. Conclusions We found low 25(OH)D mean value among CAD and a significant negative correlation of 25(OH)D with TC/HDL. This study suggests VDD may affect primary lipid target resulting in unfavorable outcomes in CAD.
