Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this multi-center observational clinical trial is to investigate the genetic risk factors of patients with premature CAD and none traditional CAD risk factors through a multi-omics approach.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Genetic risk factors \& metabolic fingerprints of patients with premature CAD and none traditional CAD risk factors remain unknown.
* How to optimize current primary prevention strategy for this rare CAD subgroup?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality despite continuous efforts in disease prevention and treatment optimization. In 2022 alone, CVD caused an estimated 19.8 million deaths worldwide, and ischemic heart disease had the highest global age-standardized DALYs of all diseases at 2,275.9 per 100,000. Therefore, research on the etiology and pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains first priority.

It is now widely known that risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, and obesity are closely related to CAD, but they only explain 30%-40% of CAD risk factors, and large-sample cohort and twin studies have concluded that CAD heritability is estimated to be 40% to 60%. With the development of the Human Genome Project and high-throughput sequencing technology, in the past decade, increasingly larger genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted worldwide and biobanks established. Public sequencing data is increasingly being used as external common controls instead of sequencing new controls in every study. Till now, thousands of mutations related to CAD have been identified. Multiple Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been developed to improve the prediction of common, complex cardiovascular diseases like CAD on individual level.

Premature CAD has been proved to have strong link with family history of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular disease, which indicates a strong genetic background of premature CAD. However, there is an even more scarce \& inconspicuous subgroup of premature CAD, defined as premature CAD without common CAD risk factors in this study. First of all, most of those patients were considered "healthy" or "at very low risk of CVDs" before CAD was diagnosed; secondly, genetic risk factors \& metabolic fingerprints of such patients remain unknown; thirdly, we still don't know yet how to optimize current primary prevention strategy for this rare CAD subgroup.

For this regard, we designed this multi-omics study to cover the questions mentioned above.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

cases group

In-patients from cardiology department of The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University will be screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria for patients. Among the patients who meet the criteria and willing to give an informed consent, 30 patients with youngest CAD-diagnosed-age will be enrolled as cases.

multi-omics studies

Intervention Type OTHER

15cc peripheral venous blood will be collected for multi-omics studies, including whole-exome study, transcriptomics \& metabolomics studies.

matching controls group

In-patients from cardiology department of The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University will be screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria for controls. 30 controls matched in gender and age will be enrolled as matching controls.

multi-omics studies

Intervention Type OTHER

15cc peripheral venous blood will be collected for multi-omics studies, including whole-exome study, transcriptomics \& metabolomics studies.

verification group

In-patients from cardiology departments of all 3 centers will be screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria. Other than previous 60 participants, about another 100 patients and controls in total who meet the criteria and willing to give an informed consent will be enrolled as verification group.
