Association between polymorphisms in the APOB gene and hyperlipidemia in the Chinese Yugur population.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the influence of apolipoprotein B gene (APOB) variants on the risk of hyperlipidemia (HL) in 631 middle-aged and elderly members of the Chinese Yugur population (HL, n=336; normolipidemia, n=295). APOB polymorphisms were identified using mass spectrometry, and five single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1042034, rs2163204, rs512535, rs676210, and rs679899) and serum lipids were further analyzed. rs1042034 and rs676210 were significantly associated with HL (P<0.05). Compared with the GG or AA genotype, individuals with AG and AG+AA in rs1042034 and with AG and AG+GG in rs676210 had a 1.67-fold (95%CI=1.20-2.33),1.63-fold (95%CI=1.19-2.24), 1.72-fold (95%CI=1.24-2.40), and 1.67-fold (95%CI=1.21-2.291) increased risk of high HL, respectively. rs2163204 was in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs1042034, rs676210, and rs679899, and strong disequilibrium was observed between rs1042034 and rs676210 (D'>0.9). Compared with the GTGAA haplotype, haplotypes ATGGA and ATAGG were more strongly associated with HL [odds ratio (OR)=1.46, 95%CI=0.02-2.11; OR=1.63, 95%CI=1.03-2.60, respectively]. The risk factors age (P=0.008), body mass index (P<0.0001), GA+GG genotype in rs676210 (P=0.009), and alcohol consumption (P=0.056) contributed strongly to HL development. The A allele of rs1042034 and the G allele of rs676210 may thus predispose middle-aged and elderly members of the Chinese Yugur population to HL in combination with other genetic or nutritional factors, and could be used as new genetic markers for HL screening.

Project description:AimsDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) belongs to the common types of cardiomyopathies. The pathogenesis remains unclear despite the fact that various genes have been found associated with DCM. MMP2 is a zinc-dependent and calcium-containing secreted endoproteinases, which could cleave a broad spectrum of substrates including extracellular matrix components and cytokines. It has proved to play an important role in the cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of MMP2 gene polymorphisms in DCM susceptibility and prognosis in a Chinese Han population.Methods and resultsA total of 600 idiopathic DCM patients and 700 healthy controls were enrolled. Patients with contact information were followed up for a median period of 28 months. Three tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs243865, rs2285052, and rs2285053) in the promoter of MMP2 gene were genotyped. A series of function analysis were conducted to illuminate the underlying mechanism. The frequency of rs243865-C allele was increased in DCM patients when compared with healthy controls (P = 0.001). Genotypic frequencies of rs243865 were associated with the susceptibility of DCM in the codominant, dominant, and overdominant models (P < 0.05). Besides, rs243865-C allele presented a correlation with the poor prognosis of DCM patients in both dominant (HR = 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14-3.57, P = 0.017) and additive (HR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.09-3.13, P = 0.02) model. The statistical significance remained after adjustment for sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and smoking status. There were significant differences in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction between rs243865-CC and CT genotypes. Functional analysis indicated that rs243865-C allele increased luciferase activity and the mRNA expression level of MMP2 by facilitating ZNF354C binding.ConclusionsOur study suggested that MMP2 gene polymorphisms were associated with DCM susceptibility and prognosis in the Chinese Han population.
