Abstract
Due to the inconsistent findings from various studies, the role of gene polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system in influencing the development of cardiomyopathy remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the findings regarding the impact of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) I/D, angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T, and angiotensin II Type 1 receptor (AGTR1) A1166C gene polymorphisms in patients with cardiomyopathy. We performed a comprehensive search of several electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, covering articles published from the time of database creation to April 17, 2023. Studies on the assessment of genetic polymorphisms in genes related to the renin-angiotensin system in relation to cardiomyopathy were included. The primary outcome was cardiomyopathy. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale scale. The meta-analysis includes 19 studies with 4,052 cases and 5,592 controls. The ACE I/D polymorphisms were found to be associated with cardiomyopathy (allelic model D vs I: OR = 1.29, 95CI% = 1.08-1.52; dominant model DD+ID vs II: OR = 1.43, 95CI% = 1.01-2.02; recessive model DD vs ID+II: OR = 0.79, 95CI% = 0.64-0.98). AGT M235T polymorphism and cardiomyopathy were not significantly correlated (allelic model T vs M: OR = 1.26, 95CI% = 0.96-1.66; dominant model TT+MT vs MM: OR = 1.30, 95CI% = 0.98-1.73; recessive model TT vs MT+MM: OR = 0.63, 95CI% = 0.37-1.07). AGTR1 polymorphism and cardiomyopathy were not significantly associated under allelic model A vs C (OR = 0.69, 95CI% = 0.46-1.03) and recessive model AA vs CA+CC (OR = 0.89, 95CI% = 0.34-2.30), but under the dominant model AA+CA vs CC (OR = 0.51, 95CI% = 0.38-0.68). The current meta-analysis reveals that polymorphisms in ACE I/D may be a genetic risk factor for cardiomyopathy. There is an association between AGTR1 gene polymorphisms and risk of cardiomyopathy under the specific model.

Abstract
Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms have recently been shown to be associated with risk of developing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, the results were controversial. We aimed to conduct this meta-analysis to further confirm the association between ACE rs4646994 polymorphism and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)/dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Chinese National Knowledge Information, and Wanfang databases were searched for eligible studies. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Then we evaluated the association between ACE gene mutation and HCM/DCM by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Subgroup analysis was further performed to explore situations in specialized subjects. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias was assessed to confirm the study reliability. Results: There were 13 studies on DCM (2004 cases and 1376 controls) and 16 studies on HCM (2161 controls and 1192 patients). ACE rs4646994 polymorphism was significantly associated with DCM in all genetic models. However, in HCM, four genetic models (allele model, homozygous model, heterozygous model, and dominant model) showed significant association between ACE rs4646994 polymorphism and DCM. In subgroup analysis, we found that ACE rs4646994 polymorphism was significantly associated with DCM/HCM in Asian population. Finally, we also conducted a cumulative meta-analysis, which indicates that the results of our meta-analysis are highly reliable. Conclusion: ACE rs4646994 polymorphism increases the risk of DCM/HCM in Asians, but not in Caucasians. More case–control studies are needed to strengthen our conclusions and to assess the gene–gene and gene–environment interactions between ACE rs4646994 polymorphism and DCM/HCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) and multiple HF-related phenotypes are heritable. Genes implicated in the HF pathophysiology would be expected to influence the response to treatment. METHODS We conducted a series of systematic literature searches on the pharmacogenetics of HF therapy to assess the current knowledge on this field. RESULTS Existing data related to HF pharmacogenomics are still limited. The ADRB1 gene is a likely candidate to predict response to β-blockers. Moreover, the cytochrome P450 2D6 coding gene (CYP2D6) clearly affects the pharmacokinetics of metoprolol, although the clinical impact of this association remains to be established. CONCLUSION Given the rising prevalence of HF and related costs, a more personalized use of HF drugs could have a remarkable benefit for patients, caregivers and healthcare systems.

Abstract
The South Asian population, numbered at 1.8 billion, is estimated to comprise around 20% of the global population and 1% of the American population, and has one of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease. While South Asians show increased classical risk factors for developing heart failure, the role of population-specific genetic risk factors has not yet been examined for this group. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the major cardiac genetic disorders among South Asians, leading to contractile dysfunction, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. This disease displays autosomal dominant inheritance, and it is associated with a large number of variants in both sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric proteins. The South Asians, a population with large ethnic diversity, potentially carries region-specific polymorphisms. There is high variability in disease penetrance and phenotypic expression of variants associated with HCM. Thus, extensive studies are required to decipher pathogenicity and the physiological mechanisms of these variants, as well as the contribution of modifier genes and environmental factors to disease phenotypes. Conducting genotype-phenotype correlation studies will lead to improved understanding of HCM and, consequently, improved treatment options for this high-risk population. The objective of this review is to report the history of cardiovascular disease and HCM in South Asians, present previously published pathogenic variants, and introduce current efforts to study HCM using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, next-generation sequencing, and gene editing technologies. The authors ultimately hope that this review will stimulate further research, drive novel discoveries, and contribute to the development of personalized medicine with the aim of expanding therapeutic strategies for HCM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dental caries is a multifactorial, infectious disease where genetic predisposition plays an important role. Insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has very recently been associated with caries in Polish children. The aim of this study was to analyze ACE I/D polymorphism in a group of caries-free children versus subjects affected by dental caries in the Czech population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, 182 caries-free children (with decayed/missing/filled teeth, DMFT = 0), 561 subjects with dental caries (DMFT ≥1) aged 13-15 years and 220 children aged 2-6 years with early childhood caries (ECC, dmft ≥1) were included. Genotype determination of ACE I/D polymorphism in intron 16 was based on the TaqMan method. RESULTS Although no significant differences in the allele or genotype frequencies between the caries-free children and those affected by dental caries were observed, statistically significant differences between the children with DMFT = 0 and the subgroup of 179 patients with high caries experience (DMFT ≥4; p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively) were detected. The comparison of DD versus II+ID genotype frequencies between the patients with DMFT ≥1 or DMFT ≥4 and healthy children also showed significant differences (31.5% or 35.6% vs. 23.6%, p < 0.05 or p < 0.01, respectively). A gender-based analysis identified a significant difference in the DD versus II+ID genotype frequencies only in girls (p < 0.05). In contrast, no significant association of ACE I/D polymorphism with ECC in young children was found (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS ACE I/D polymorphism may be associated with caries in permanent but not primary dentition, especially in girls in the Czech population.

Abstract
Because of its comparatively recent evolution, Homo sapiens exhibit relatively little within-species genomic diversity. However, because of genome size, a proportionately small amount of variation creates ample opportunities for both rare mutations that may cause disease as well as more common genetic variations that may be important in disease modification or pharmacogenetics. Primarily because of the East African origin of modern humans, individuals of African ancestry (AA) exhibit greater degrees of genetic diversity than more recently established populations, such as those of European ancestry (EA) or Asian ancestry. Those population effects extend to differences in frequency of common gene variants that may be important in heart failure natural history or therapy. For cell-signaling mechanisms important in heart failure, we review and present new data for genetic variation between AA and EA populations. Data indicate that: 1) neurohormonal signaling mechanisms frequently (16 of the 19 investigated polymorphisms) exhibit racial differences in the allele frequencies of variants comprising key constituents; 2) some of these differences in allele frequency may differentially affect the natural history of heart failure in AA compared with EA individuals; and 3) in many cases, these differences likely play a role in observed racial differences in drug or device response.

Abstract
Modifier genes contribute to the diverse clinical manifestations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but are still largely unknown. Muscle ring finger (MuRF) proteins are a class of muscle-specific ubiquitin E3-ligases that appear to modulate cardiac mass and function by regulating the ubiquitin-proteasome system. In this study we screened all the three members of the MuRF family, MuRF1, MuRF2 and MuRF3, in 594 unrelated HCM patients and 307 healthy controls by targeted resequencing. Identified rare variants were confirmed by capillary Sanger sequencing. The prevalence of rare variants in both MuRF1 and MuRF2 in HCM patients was higher than that in control subjects (MuRF1 13/594 (2.2%) vs. 1/307 (0.3%), p = 0.04; MuRF2 22/594 (3.7%) vs. 2/307 (0.7%); p = 0.007). Patients with rare variants in MuRF1 or MuRF2 were younger (p = 0.04) and had greater maximum left ventricular wall thickness (p = 0.006) than those without such variants. Mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins were present in 19 (55.9%) of the 34 HCM patients with rare variants in MuRF1 and MuRF2. These data strongly supported that rare variants in MuRF1 and MuRF2 are associated with higher penetrance and more severe clinical manifestations of HCM. The findings suggest that dysregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system contributes to the pathogenesis of HCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene increases susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is controversial and still undetermined. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to systematically assess the possible association between them. METHODS The OVID, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wangfang databases were searched to identify eligible studies focusing on the association between ACE polymorphism I/D and susceptibility to OSA. RESULTS A total of 2,228 subjects from nine studies were subjected to meta-analysis. Overall, ACE polymorphism I/D had no statistically significant association with increased OSA risk under all genetic models (P > 0.05). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity or study design, still no significant associations were found for all genetic models (P > 0.05). However, ACE polymorphism I/D was significantly associated with susceptibility to OSA with hypertension in Asians under heterozygous comparison and dominant model. The ID genotype carriers and D allele carriers (ID + DD) were about 53% less likely (odds ratio (OR) = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.29-0.74; P = 0.001) and about 52% less likely (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.24-0.99; P = 0.047), respectively, to have OSA with hypertension compared to carriers of the II genotype. CONCLUSIONS ACE polymorphism I/D had no statistically significant association with increased OSA risk, but the II genotype of ACE may be a risk factor for OSA with hypertension in Asians. OSA cases who develop hypertension may derive from a different mechanism compared to essential hypertension. Studies with large sample size and representative population are warranted to verify this finding.
