Dyslipidemia (Dys) is a disease characterised by abnormally high levels of lipids in the 1
blood. It causes the deposits of lipids on the arterial wall, leading to the insurgence of atherosclerosis, 2
i.e. the increased thickness of arterial walls, which finally increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 3
Dyslipidemia is as comorbidity of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). A set of genes has been associated 4
with dyslipidemia, but examining the regulation of such genes in age and sex is still an open research 5
field. In this study, starting from publicly available databases, we select genes associated with 6
dyslipidemia and we analyse their basal level changes by means of age and sex. Also studying the 7
networks associated to the genes, we identify the rewiring changes showing that there exists a set of 8
genes whose expression changes with age in: artery tibial, artery aorta and blood. Finally, we report 9
about changes associated to gender atributes in the extracted data
