Plasma extracellular Hsp70 (eHsp70) and anti-Hsp70 antibody levels were determined using ELISA. <i>Results:</i> Individuals with +190G/C (rs1043618) CC genotype in <i>HSPA1A</i> had higher levels of eHsp70 in controls and lower levels of anti-Hsp70 body in ACS, compared with +190G/C GG carriers. Significantly increased ACS risks of 2.93 and 3.53 fold were found in subjects with the +190G/C CC genotype and high eHsp70 levels or low anti-Hsp70 antibody levels, respectively. The highest risk of ACS was found in subjects with +190G/C CC genotypes, high eHsp70 and low anti-Hsp70 antibody levels compared with those in the reference group (OR = 7.57, 95% CI 3.04–18.87). <i>Conclusions:</i> The +190G/C polymorphism of <i>HSPA1A</i> may contribute to influence eHsp70 levels in controls and anti-Hsp70 antibody levels in ACS, and the +190G/C genotypes, eHsp70 and anti-Hsp70 antibody levels may have a joint effect on the risk of ACS. 2011-08-17 00:00:00 Polymorphism Extracellular Hsp70 Anti-Hsp70 antibody Acute coronary syndrome
