After full adjustment, the odds ratio for coronary heart disease was 1.12 (95% CI, 0.92 to 1.37) for subjects with the compound heterozygous (C282Y/H63D) genotype relative to those with the wild-type/wild-type genotype.
No relationship between HFE mutations and CAD (C282Y, P = 0.402; H63D, P = 0.112; S65C, P = 0.170) or CVD death (C282Y, P = 0.560; H63D, P = 0.682; S65C, P = 0.664) was demonstrated using logistic regression.
A weighted Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate crude, age-adjusted and multivariate adjusted hazard ratios for C282Y and H63D carriership in relation to coronary heart disease.
We examined the relation between two HFE mutations (C282Y and H63D), indicators of iron homeostasis, and the prevalence of coronary heart disease in a large population of white adults.
