Association of apolipoprotein genetic polymorphisms with plasma cholesterol in a Japanese rural population. The Shibata Study

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology

Abstract

The association between apolipoprotein (apo) genetic polymorphisms and lipid phenotypes remains to be determined because such studies have reported contradictory results. We have measured plasma total cholesterol (TC) and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) in a cross-sectional sample of 1328 (462 men and 866 women) Japanese (aged 40 to 80 years) and analyzed their DNA for the following genotypes: apoA1-C3 Msp I and Sst I sites; apoB signal peptide insertion/deletion, Xba I site and 3' variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR); and apoE. Using multivariate analyses (ANOVA) we found that (1) the polymorphisms of apoA1-C3 and apoB genes are not significantly associated with TC or HDL-C and (2) the polymorphism of the apoE gene is significantly related with TC and the TC:HDL-C ratio. The epsilon 2 carriers have lower levels of TC and a lower TC:HDL-C ratio, epsilon 3 carriers have intermediate levels, and epsilon 4 carriers have higher levels. These findings held whether sexes were analyzed separately or together. Although an opposite trend in HDL-C levels was observed, it did not reach the level of statistical significance. Multiple regression analyses have shown that apoE polymorphism accounts for about 2.3% of the variation in TC and TC:HDL...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

ApoE Phenotypes

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in fat metabolism and associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Here is the latest research on APOE phenotypes.
