Aim: To investigate the effects of m(6)A-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We examined the association of m(6)A-SNPs with CAD in about 185,000 cases and controls and further performed eQTL and differential expression analyses to support the identified m(6)A-SNPs. Results: Among the 4390 m(6)A-SNPs detected, 304 seemed to be associated with CAD (p < 0.05). SNP rs12286 was significantly associated with CAD at genome-wide level (p = 4.5x10(-9)). rs12286 was predicted to influence m(6)A methylation and have the potential to alter regulatory motifs binding, which may in turn regulate the expression of ADAMTS7 (p = 1.26x10(-8)). Conclusion: The present study found plenty of CAD-associated m(6)A-SNPs and demonstrated the potential functionality of the identified SNPs.
