ABSTRACT: Background
The current research was to assess the relationship of the solute carrier family 44 member 4 (SLC44A4) rs577272, notch receptor 4 (NOTCH4) rs3134931 SNPs and serum lipid levels in the Han and Maonan ethnic groups. Methods
The genetic makeup of the SLC44A4 rs577272 and NOTCH4 rs3134931 SNPs in 2467 unrelated subjects (Han, 1254; Maonan,1213) was obtained by using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique, combined with gel electrophoresis, and confirmed by direct sequencing. Results
The genotype frequencies of SLC44A4 rs577272 and NOTCH4 rs3134931 SNPs were different between Han and Maonan populations (P??50%) in both Han and Maonan groups. The haplotype of rs577272G-rs3134931A was associated with TG and HDL-C in Han; and TC, TG and HDL-C in Maonan ethnic groups. Conclusions
These results suggest that the relationship among SLC44A4 rs577272, NOTCH4 rs3134931 SNPs and serum lipid parameters may vary depending on the gender and/or ethnicity/race in some populations. Haplotypes could explain more changes in serum lipid parameters than any single SNP alone particularly for TC, TG and HDL-C.

Project description:Little is known about the association of monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (MGAT1) rs634501 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid profiles in the Chinese populations. The aim of this study was to detect the association of the MGAT1 rs634501 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Chinese Maonan and Han populations. Genotypes of the SNP in 2014 unrelated participants (Han, 986; Maonan, 1028) were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis, and confirmed by direct sequencing. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the MGAT1 rs634501 SNP were significantly different between the Han and Maonan populations as well as between males and females in the Maonan population. The A allele carriers had lower serum apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 levels, the ApoA1/ApoB ratio and higher ApoB levels in Maonans; and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ApoA1 levels, ApoA1/ApoB ratio, and higher triglyceride levels in Han than the A allele non-carriers. There were also different associations of the MGAT1 rs634501 SNP and serum lipid profiles between males and females in the both ethnic groups. Serum lipid parameters in the two ethnic groups were also associated with several environmental factors. These results suggest that the association of the MGAT1 rs634501 SNP and serum lipid parameters might have ethnic- and/or sex-specificity.

Project description:IntroductionThe Maonan population is a relatively isolated minority in China. Little is known about endothelial lipase gene (LIPG) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and serum lipid levels in the Chinese populations. The present study aimed to detect the association of several LIPG SNPs and environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Chinese Maonan and Han populations.MethodsIn total, 773 subjects of Maonan ethnicity and 710 participants of Han ethnicity were randomly selected from our previous stratified randomized samples. Genotypes of the LIPG rs2156552, rs4939883 and rs7241918 SNPs were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, and then confirmed by direct sequencing.ResultsThe allelic (rs2156552, rs4939883 and rs7241918) and genotypic (rs2156552 and rs4939883) frequencies were different between the two ethnic groups (p < 0.05-0.01). The minor allele carriers had lower apolipoprotein (Apo)A1/ApoB ratio (rs2156552 and rs7241918), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (Apo)A1 (rs2156552) levels and higher ApoB levels (rs4939883) in the Han population, and lower HDL-C (rs2156552, rs4939883 and rs7241918) levels in the Maonan minority than the minor allele non-carriers (p < 0.0167 after Bonferroni correction). Subgroup analyses according to sex showed that the minor allele carriers had a lower ApoA1/ApoB ratio (rs2156552 and rs7241918) and higher ApoB levels (rs7241918) in Han males, and lower ApoA1 and HDL-C levels in Maonan females than the minor allele non-carriers (p < 0.0167-0.001).ConclusionsThe present study demonstrates the association between the LIPG polymorphsims and serum lipid levels in the two ethnic groups. These associations might have an ethnic- and or/sex-specificity.

Project description:The correlation between the BDNF rs11030104 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid levels has been understudied. The present study was conducted to detect the association of the BDNF rs11030104 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Jing and Han nationalities. Genotypes of the BDNF rs11030104 SNP in 709 unrelated subjects of Han and 706 unrelated participants of Jing populations were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis, and further verified by direct sequencing. There was no significant difference in either genotypic or allelic frequencies between the Han and Jing populations. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the SNP in Jing but not in Han populations were different between male and female subgroups (P<0.05 for each). The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the Jing population were different among the genotypes, the G allele carriers had lower TC and LDL-C levels than the G allele non-carriers. Subgroup analyses showed that the differences in serum TC and LDL-C levels among the genotypes were observed in the Jing males but not in females. Serum lipid profiles were also significantly associated with some environmental factors in the Han and Jing populations, or in male and female subgroups of the two ethnic groups (P<0.05 for all). Our study exhibited a correlation between the BDNF rs11030104 SNP and serum TC and LDL-C levels in the Jing males. These results indicate that there may be a racial/ethnic- and/or sex-specific association of the BDNF rs11030104 SNP and serum lipid parameters.

Project description:Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase 1 gene (CPS1) rs1047891 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been associated with a number of metabolic disorders including obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperhomocysteine (HCY). Studies on association between this SNP and prevalence of dyslipidemia have been few, with no report from Chinese subjects. This study was to investigate association of rs1047891 SNP and several environment factors with serum lipid levels in Chinese Han and Maonan populations. Genotypes of rs1047891 SNP in 810 individuals of Maonan and 795 participants of Han nationality were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and then confirmed by direct sequencing. Frequencies of CC, CA, and AA genotypes were 71.32%, 25.16%, and 3.52% in Han and 61.36%, 31.85%, and 6.79% in Maonan populations (P < 0.01), respectively. The frequency of A allele was 16.10% in Han and 22.72% in Maonan individuals (P < 0.001), respectively. Subjects with CA/AA genotypes had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 levels in Han. They had higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and lower HDL-C levels in Maonan than subjects with CC genotype (P < 0.05-0.01). Subgroup analyses revealed that subjects with CA/AA genotypes had lower HDL-C and ApoA1 levels in Han females, higher LDL-C levels in Maonan males, and lower HDL-C levels in both Maonan males and females than subjects with CC genotype (P < 0.05-0.01). Serum lipid parameters were also correlated with several environmental factors in both ethnic groups. The difference in serum lipid profiles between Han and Maonan populations may partly result from different polymorphisms of CPS1 rs1047891 and SNP-enviromental interactions.

Project description:The RNA binding motif protein 5 gene (RBM5) rs2013208 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in a previous genome-wide association study, but little is known about such association of the RBM5 rs2013208 SNP and serum lipid profiles in the Chinese populations. The present study was to detect the association of the RBM5 rs2013208 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Jing and Han populations. Genotyping of the RBM5 rs2013208 SNP in 635 subjects of Jing and 648 participants of Han peoples was performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism, and then confirmed by direct sequencing. There were no significant differences in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the RBM5 rs2013208 SNP between the two ethnic groups or between males and females. The RBM5 rs2013208G allele carriers had lower serum HDL-C levels in both Jing and Han than the G allele non-carriers. The G allele carriers in Jing had higher serum total cholesterol (TC) levels and higher apolipoprotein (Apo) A1/ApoB ratio than the G allele non-carriers (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis according to sex showed that the G allele carriers had lower serum HDL-C levels in both Jing and Han females but not in males (P < 0.05). The G allele carriers had higher TC levels in Jing females but not in Jing males, and lower ApoA1/ApoB ratio in Jing males but not in Jing females. Serum lipid parameters were also correlated with several environmental factors in the Jing and Han populations, or in males and females in both ethnic groups. The association of the RBM5 rs2013208 SNP and serum lipid levels is different between the Jing and Han populations. These associations might have an ethnic- and/or sex-specificity.

Project description:The hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) is known to play an important role in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism pathways, but the association of the LIPC rs1532085 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid profiles has not been previously reported in different racial/ethnic groups. The present study was to detect the association of the LIPC rs1532085 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Maonan and Han populations. Genotypes of the LIPC rs1532085 SNP in 833 individuals of Maonan nationality and 801 participants of Han nationality were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The frequencies of AA, AG, and GG genotypes were 22.34%, 47.70%, and 29.96% in Han, and 24.96%, 51.38%, and 23.64% in Maonan populations (P < 0.05). The frequency of the G allele was 53.80% in Han and 49.33% in Maonan individuals (P < 0.05). The G allele carriers had lower total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), Apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and ApoB levels in Han than the G allele non-carriers, but not in Maonan. Subgroup analyses indicated that the G allele carriers had lower TC, TG, LDL-C and ApoA1 levels in Han females than the G allele non-carriers (P < 0.05-0.001). Serum lipid parameters in the two ethnic groups were also associated with several environmental factors. These findings revealed that there might be a racial/ethnic- and/or sex-specific association between the LIPC rs1532085 SNP and serum lipid parameters in some populations.

Project description:The association between the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) gene rs4810479 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid levels is largely unknown. This investigation aimed to evaluate the relationship between the PLTP rs4810479 SNP, several environmental risk factors, and serum lipid parameters in the Chinese Maonan and Han nationalities. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, gel electrophoresis, and direct sequencing were employed to determine the PLTP rs4810479 genotypes in 633 Maonan and 646 Han participants. The frequencies of CC, CT, and TT genotypes and the C allele were different between Maonan and Han groups (29.07%, 53.08%, 17.85%, and 55.61% vs. 35.60%, 49.70%, 14.70%, and 60.45%, respectively, P < 0.05). The C allele carriers in the Maonan group had higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than the C allele noncarriers, but this finding was only found in Maonan males but not in females. The C allele carriers in Han males had lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than the C allele noncarriers. Serum lipid profiles were also affected by several traditional cardiovascular risk factors in both populations. There might be an ethnic- and/or sex-specific association between the PLTP rs4810479 SNP and serum lipid traits.

Project description:The cytochrome P450 protein plays an important role in the synthesis of cholesterol and other lipid parameters. But little is known about the association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of rs2068888 near cytochrome P450 26A1 gene (CYP26A1) and serum lipid profiles in the Chinese Maonan and Han populations. This study explored such association in the two populations. Genotyping of the CYP26A1 rs2068888 SNP was performed in 833 unrelated individuals of Maonan and 701 participants of Han by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis, and confirmed by direct sequencing. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the CYP26A1 rs2068888 SNP were significantly different between the Maonan and Han. The frequencies of AA, AG and GG genotypes were 75.51%, 23.41% and 1.08% in the Maonan population, and 64.62%, 33.10% and 2.28% in the Han population (P < 0.001). The frequency of the G allele was 12.78% in Maonan and 18.83% in Han (P < 0.001). The level of serum total cholesterol (TC) was lower in Maonan than in Han. The G allele carriers had higher serum TC level in Maonan than the G allele non-carriers. Subgroup analyses indicated that the G allele carriers had higher serum TC level in Maonan females. Serum lipid parameters in the two ethnic groups were also associated with several environmental factors. These findings revealed that there may be a racial/ethnic- and/or sex-specific association between the CYP26A1 rs2068888 SNP and serum lipid parameters in some populations.

Project description:BackgroundMaonan nationality belongs to a mountain ethnic minority in China. Little is known about the association of apolipoprotein A1 gene (APOA1) rs964184 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid levels in this population. The aim of this study was to detect the association of the APOA1 rs964184 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid profiles in the Chinese Maonan and Han populations.MethodsGenotypes of the APOA1 rs964184 SNP in 867 individuals of Maonan nationality and 820 participants of Han nationality were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism, combined with gel electrophoresis, and confirmed by direct sequencing.ResultsThe frequencies of CC, CG and GG genotypes of the APOA1 rs964184 SNP were 68.86, 29.18 and 1.96% in the Maonan population, and 63.78, 30.85 and 5.37% in the Han population (P < 0.001). The frequency of the G allele was 16.55% in Maonan and 20.79% in Han (P < 0.001). The G allele carriers had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in Maonan and higher triglyceride (TG) levels in Han peoples than the G allele non-carriers. Subgroup analyses showed that the G allele carriers had lower HDL-C levels in both Maonan males and females; and lower apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 levels and the ApoA1/ApoB ratio in Han males than the G allele non-carriers. Serum lipid parameters in the two ethnic groups were also associated with several environmental factors.ConclusionsThe present study reveals that there may be a racial/ethnic- and/or gender-specific association between the APOA1 rs964184 SNP and serum lipid parameters in our study populations.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.

Project description:BackgroundCorin is an important convertase involved in the natriuretic peptide system and may indirectly regulate blood pressure. Genetic factors relate to corin remain unclear. The purpose of the current study was to comprehensively examine the associations among CORIN SNPs, methylations, serum corin levels and hypertension.ResultsWe genotyped 9 tag-SNPs in the CORIN gene and measured serum corin levels in 731 new-onset hypertensive cases and 731 age- and sex-matched controls. DNA methylations were tested in 43 individuals. Mendelian randomization was used to investigate the causal associations. Under additive models, we observed associations of rs2289433 (p.Cys13Tyr), rs6823184, rs10517195, rs2271037 and rs12509275 with serum corin levels after adjustment for covariates (P = 0.0399, 0.0238, 0.0016, 0.0148 and 0.0038, respectively). The tag-SNP rs6823184 and SNPs that are in strong linkage disequilibrium with it, i.e., rs10049713, rs6823698 and rs1866689, were associated with CORIN gene expression (P = 2.38 × 10- 24, 5.94 × 10- 27, 6.31 × 10- 27 and 6.30 × 10- 27, respectively). Neither SNPs nor corin levels was found to be associated with hypertension. SNP rs6823184, which is located in a DNase hypersensitivity cluster, a CpG island and transcription factor binding sites, was significantly associated with cg02955940 methylation levels (P = 1.54 × 10- 7). A putative causal association between cg02955940 methylation and corin levels was detected (P = 0.0011).ConclusionThis study identified potentially functional CORIN SNPs that were associated with serum corin level in the Chinese Han population. The effect of CORIN SNPs on corin level may be mediated by DNA methylation.
