Authors' conclusion

These findings provide evidence of a novel association between HP2 allele and cardiomyopathy.

Study context

Population
Childhood cancer survivors exposed to anthracyclines
Participants
40 vs 64
Comparison
Survivors with cardiomyopathy vs matched survivors without cardiomyopathy
  • Casesn = 40
  • Controln = 64reference
Outcome
Association between gene expression (differentially expressed genes (DEGs)) and anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Cardiomyopathy by HP gene expression (HP top DEG)

Odds ratio

6.4

95% CI 1.4–28.6

Survivors with cardiomyopathyvs matched survivors without cardiomyopathy
OR 6.4 (95% CI 1.4–28.6)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Cardiomyopathy with HP1-2/HP2-2 genotypes plus G/G for rs35283911 and/or rs2000999

OR (95% CI)
HP1-2/HP2-2 + G/G rs35283911 and/or rs20009993.9 (1.0–14.5)

Haptoglobin (HP) transcript levels by genotype

HP2 allele (vs HP1-1, HP1-2, HP2-2 genotypes) and G allele of rs35283911 and rs2000999 had higher HP transcript levels
