Sažetak
Background: Elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] has been identified as a genetically determined risk factor for stroke in young adults. Recently, Sultan et al. (Int J Stroke 2014 ; 9:79–87) has also demonstrated a significant positive association between Lp(a) and arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in children, whereas Kenet et al. (Circulation 2010 ; 21:1838–47) showed the highest odds ratio for combined genetic traits in first AIS onset. Aims: The aim was to investigate whether elevated Lp(a) levels are more frequently asssociated with already known inherited thrombophilia risk factors in children with a confirmed diagnosis of AIS. Methods: Study population comprised 61 children with AIS (perinatal n = 30, childhood n = 31). Lp(a) concentration was determined using a Tina-quant Lipoprotein(a) assay on Cobas c501 (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland). Genotype analysis of FV Leiden, FV HR2, FII G20210A, b-fibrinogen -455G>A, FXIII-A Val34Leu, PAI-1 4G/5G, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, ACE I/D, and apoE e2-4 was performed using a multilocus genotyping assay (CVD Strip Assay, ViennaLab, Austria). Human platelet alloantigens -1, -2, -3 and -5 were detected by ASO-PCR (Kluter et al. Vox Sang 1996 ; 71:121–5). Results: Children with AIS were divided into Lp(a) positive group (>0.3 g/ L) consisting of 16 (26%) children (median: 0.62 g/L), and Lp(a) negative group (<0.3 g/ L) consisting of 45 (74%) children (median: 0.09 g/L ). Elevated Lp(a) levels were statistically significantly associated with homozygosity for MTHFR A1298C (P = 0.036) and apo e2e3 genotype (P = 0.024). Unexpectedly, none of 7 identified FV Leiden carriers and 3 FV Leiden/FV HR2 heterozygotes were in the Lp(a) positive group, but their frequency was not statistically significant (P = 0.174 and P = 0.556, respectively). Conclusion: Among investigated inherited thrombophilia risk factors elevated Lp(a) levels may suggest synergistic effect with MTHFR 1298CC and apo e2e3 genotype and possible increased risk for AIS onset.
