Abstract

More than half of the patients with angiographically confirmed premature coronary heart disease (CHD) have a familial lipoprotein disorder. Familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCHL) represents the most common genetic dyslipidemia with a prevalence of 1.0-2.0%. FCHL is estimated to cause 10-20% of premature CHD and is characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, or both. Attempts to characterize genes predisposing to FCHL have been hampered by its equivocal phenotype definition, unknown mode of inheritance and genetic heterogeneity. In order to minimize genetic heterogeneity, we chose 31 extended FCHL families from the isolated Finnish population that fulfilled strictly defined criteria for the phenotype status. We performed linkage analyses with markers from ten chromosomal regions that contain lipid-metabolism candidate genes. One marker, D1S104, adjacent to the apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) gene on chromosome 1, revealed a lod score of Z = 3.50 assuming a dominant mode of inheritance. Multipoint analysis combining information from D1S104 and the neighbouring marker D1S1677 resulted in a lod score of 5.93. Physical positioning of known genes in the area (APOA2 and three selectin genes) outside the linked region...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
