Flotillin-2 Gene Is Associated with Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Han Population.


ABSTRACT: Flotillin-2, an important protein of vesicular endocytosis, is commonly used as a marker protein for lipid microdomains. It plays an essential role in cellular cholesterol uptake and biliary cholesterol reabsorption. Excessive cholesterol intake could cause dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD).To investigate the association between the human flotillin-2 gene polymorphism and CAD in the Chinese Han population.Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs10205, rs3816848 and rs8081659) of the flotillin-2 gene were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction in 307 CAD patients and 441 control subjects.The genotypic distribution of these three SNPs was significantly different between CAD patients and control subjects (all p?
