BACKGROUND/AIM: The endothelial lipase gene (LIPG) has a major role in regulating high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), therefore this study investigated whether LIPG is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Turkish population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The LIPG (584 C/T) mutation was analyzed in 74 CAD patients and 73 controls. RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding the mutant T allele frequencies (χ2=0.456, p=0.020; 26.7% and 41.8% in patient and control groups, respectively) for 584 C/T. Even though the TT genotype was not significantly different, it had p=0.054 which supported our results. CONCLUSION: The endothelial lipase gene (584 C/T) T allele might be protective in association with coronary artery disease. Therefore, LIPG gene is related to risk for CAD in the Turkish population probably through altering HDL-C metabolism. Copyright
