Aim: cdkn2a/2b near chromosome 9p21 has been proposed as a potential genetic etiology for both atherosclerosis and arterial calcification. dna methylation,which can change the expression of cdkn2a/2b,may be an underlying mechanism for this association. this study aimed to evaluate whether cdkn2a/2b methylation is related to aortic arch calcification (aac) in patients with ischemic stroke. methods: dna methylation levels of cdkn2a/2b was measured using venous blood samples in 322 patients with ischemic stroke. a total of 36 cpg sites around promoter regions of cdkn2a/2b were examined. aac was quantified with agatston score based on results of computed tomography angiography. results: there were 248 (77.0%) patients with and 74 (23.0%) patients without evident aac. compared with patients without aac,patients with aac had higher methylation levels of cdkn2b (5.72 vs 4.94,p<0.001). using a generalized linear model,positive correlation between methylation levels and log-transformed calcification scores was detected at cdkn2b (β=0.275±0.116,p= 0.018). conclusion: patients with higher levels of dna methylation of cdkn2b may bear increased risk for aac. further studies to reveal the underlying mechanisms of this association are warranted for establishing a cause–effect relationship. © 2017 japan atherosclerosis society.
