Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Several Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in lipid transport genes have been shown to be associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The Hepatic Lipase (HL)glycoprotein is a key component that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids in all major classes of lipoproteins. AIM: We studied whether the HL gene-250G/A polymorphism affect blood lipid level and the CAD in a North Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total number of 477 subjects were enrolled in the study after approval of the Institutional Ethics Committee. Out of 477 subjects, 233 were with coronary artery disease as study group and 244 subjects without coronary artery disease as control group. All subjects recruited with matched ethnicity in age group of 40-70 years. Blood samples were collected in EDTA vials and genomic DNA was extracted from blood using the phenol-chloroform method. Lipid profile was estimated by using a commercially available kit. Polymorphisms in the HL (-250 G/A) gene were analysed by using restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) method. The effect of this polymorphism on plasma lipids, lipoproteins and coronary artery disease was determined. RESULTS: In Human Hepatic Lipase (LIPC)-250G/A genotype, the frequencies of GG, GA and AA genotype in CAD group was 80.69%, 15.45% and 3.86%, respectively; in the control group, the corresponding frequencies were 90.16%, 9.02% and 0.82%, respectively. A significant difference was found in the genotype (LIPC-250G/A) distribution between the two groups. Further logistic regression analysis indicated that the GA and AA genotypes in SNP-250G/A were significantly associated with CAD in all genetic models (In codominant model- GA vs. GG, OR=1.91, 95% CI=1. 09-3.37, p=0. 03 and AA vs. GG, OR= 5.26, 95% CI= 1.10-24.60, p=0.04; in dominant model- GA+AA vs. GG, OR=2.19, p=0.004 and in recessive model- AA vs. GG+GA, OR=5.26, p=0.04 whereas, A allele at nucleotide -250G/A in the LIPC gene had an association with increased risk of CAD (OR=2.33, p=<0.008). CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated that the higher frequency of a dominant model (GA+AA) as well as mutant allele A of LIPC-250 G/A polymorphism is significantly associated with risk of CAD and the lipid profile can be used as a predictor of CAD.
