Influence of genetic variants in the apolipoprotein A5 and C3 gene on lipids, lipoproteins, and its association with coronary artery disease in Indians.

ABSTRACT: Indians worldwide demonstrate a triad of elevated triglyceride (TG) with high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In the present study, we aim to investigate the effect of -1131T > C, -3A > G, c.56 C > G, and c.553 G > T SNPs in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene and 1100C > T and 3238C > G in the apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Indians. Genotyping and lipid assays were carried out using standard protocols in a study population that included 150 controls and 90 cases with CAD. Significant associations between minor alleles and higher TG levels were seen for -1131T > C (P < 0.001), -3A > G (P < 0.001), c.56C > G (P = 0.026), and c.553G > T (P = 0.003) SNPs in the APOA5 gene and 1100C > T (P = 0.001) and 3238C > G (P = 0.009) in the APOC3 gene. The haplotypes 11211, 22111, 11112, and 22112 were significantly associated with TG levels (P = 0.025, P = 0.017, P = 0.027, and P < 0.001, respectively) and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (P = 0.025, P = 0.017, P < 0.001, and P = 0.002) in males. The 22111, 11112, and 22112 were associated with elevated TG (P = 0.030, P = 0.036, and P = 0.024) but not VLDL-C levels in females. No association with other lipid parameters was seen. In the logistic regression model, the rare S2 allele was a significant risk factor (P = 0.030, 95% CI 1.186-31.432) along with smoking (P < 0.0001, 95% CI 2.018-10.397) for CAD. The APOA5 and APOC3 locus is a strong determinant of plasma TG levels in Indians. The APOC3 3238G is a risk factor for CAD and a higher frequency was also seen with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the apolipoprotein (Apo) A1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster and serum lipid profiles is inconsistent. The present study was undertaken to detect the association between the ApoA1/C3/A5 gene polymorphisms and their haplotypes with serum lipid levels in the general Chinese population.A total of 1030 unrelated subjects (492 males and 538 females) aged 15-89 were randomly selected from our previous stratified randomized cluster samples. Genotyping of the ApoA1 -75 bp G>A, ApoC3 3238C>G, ApoA5 -1131T>C, ApoA5 c.553G>T and ApoA5 c.457G>A was performed by polymerse chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis, and then confirmed by direct sequencing. Pair-wise linkage disequilibria and haplotype analysis among the five SNPs were estimated.The levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and ApoA1 were lower in males than in femailes (P < 0.05 for each). The allelic and genotypic frequencies of the SNPs were no significant difference between males and females except ApoC3 3238C>G. There were 11 haplotypes with a frequency >1% identified in the cluster in our population. At the global level, the haplotypes comprised of all five SNPs were significantly associated with all seven lipid traits. In particular, haplotype G-G-C-C-A (6%; in the order of ApoA5 c.553G>T, ApoA5 c.457G>A, ApoA5 -1131T>C, ApoC3 3238C>G, and ApoA1 -75bp G>A) and G-A-T-C-G (4%) showed consistent association with total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), ApoA1, ApoB, and the ApoA1/ApoB ratio. In addition, carriers of haplotype G-G-T-C-G (26%) had increased serum concentration of HDL-C and ApoA1, whereas carriers of G-G-C-G-G (15%) had high concentrations of TC, triglyceride (TG) and ApoB. We also found that haplotypes with five SNPs explain much more serum lipid variation than any single SNP alone, especially for TG (4.4% for haplotype vs. 2.4% for -1131T>C max based on R-square) and HDL-C (5.1% for haplotype vs. 0.9% for c.553G>T based on R-square). Serum lipid parameters were also correlated with genotypes and several environment factors.Several common SNPs and their haplotypes in the ApoA1/C3/A5 gene cluster are closely associated with modifications of serum lipid parameters in the general Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundTriglycerides (TGs) are proatherogenic lipoproteins involving the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), while apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) are main lipoproteins composing TG-rich lipoproteins. In this study, we aim to explore the correlation of CHD with APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOC3 -455 T > C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).MethodsA sum of 210 CHD patients, hospitalized between Jan. 2013 and Mar. 2015 at China-Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, were selected as our case group and 223 healthy individuals who had physical examination at same hospital at the same period were selected as control group. The frequency distribution of genotypes of APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOC3 -455 T > C SNPs were measured by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The Stata 12.0 software was utilized for statistical analyses.ResultsThere was no significant difference on age and sex between case and control group (P > 0.05). History of smoking, drinking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, body mass index and levels of TG and fasting blood sugar in case group were shown to be higher than control group (P < 0.05), while levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in case group were lower than control group (P < 0.05). Both CC and TC' + CC frequencies of APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOC3 -455 T > C in case group were higher compared to control group (both P < 0.05). Additionally, T allele frequencies of the two SNPs in case group were lower than control group, while C allele in case group has higher frequencies compared to control group (both P < 0.05). The results of meta-analysis under allele and dominant models showed that APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOC3 -455 T > C SNPs are likely to increase the risk of CHD (both P < 0.05).ConclusionAPOA5 -1131 T > C and APOC3 -455 T > C SNPs may play potent roles in the development and progression of CHD.
