Abstract Background Both DNA genotype and methylation of antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) have been robustly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), but the interdependent mechanisms of genotype and methylation remain unclear. Methods Eighteen tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ANRIL were genotyped in a matched case–control study (cases 503 and controls 503). DNA methylation of ANRIL and the INK4/ARF locus (p14ARF, p15INK4b and p16INK4a) was measured using pyrosequencing in the same set of samples (cases 100 and controls 100). Results Polymorphisms of ANRIL (rs1004638, rs1333048 and rs1333050) were significantly associated with CAD (p < 0.05). The incidence of CAD, multi-vessel disease, and modified Gensini scores demonstrated a strong, direct association with ANRIL gene dosage (p < 0.05). There was no significant association between ANRIL polymorphisms and myocardial infarction/acute coronary syndrome (MI/ACS) (p > 0.05). Methylation levels of ANRIL were similar between the two studied groups (p > 0.05), but were different in the rs1004638 genotype, with AA and AT genotype having a higher level of ANRIL methylation (pos4, p = 0.006; pos8, p = 0.019). Further Spearman analyses indicated that methylation levels of ANRIL were positively associated with systolic blood pressure (pos6, r = 0.248, p = 0.013), diastolic blood pressure (pos3, r = 0.213, p = 0.034; pos6, r = 0.220, p = 0.028), and triglyceride (pos4, r = 0.253, p = 0.013), and negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (pos2, r = − 0.243, p = 0.017). Additionally, we identified 12 transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) within the methylated ANRIL region, and functional annotation indicated these TFBS were associated with basal transcription. Methylation at the INK4/ARF locus was not associated with ANRIL genotype. Conclusions These results indicate that ANRIL genotype (tag SNPs rs1004638, rs1333048 and rs1333050) mainly affects coronary atherosclerosis, but not MI/ACS. There may be allele-related DNA methylation and allele-related binding of transcription factors within the ANRIL promoter.

In this paper we conclude that CoroMarker is a stable, sensitive and specific biomarker for CAD.
