Multiple genetic determinants of plasma lipid levels in Caribbean Hispanics

Abstract: Objectives: To identify candidate genes in relation to plasma lipid levels in Caribbean Hispanics. Design and methods:A total of 114 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 17 lipid-related genes were genotyped in 477 Caribbean Hispanics from the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS). Analyses for each SNP and haplotype were performed to evaluate the associations with four lipid traits: high-and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC). Results:We identified… Show more

“…We also found a mutation in the PCSK9 gene (rs11583680) that was described in Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) Variant Databases UCL (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ldlr) as a benign polymorphism (Fasano et al, 2007). Three APOB gene variants found in our study group (rs1801701, rs1042031 and rs1801702) have been described by various authors as associated with different lipid traits and one as benign (rs1042034) (Liao et al, 2008;Makela et al, 2012;Calandra et al, 2011;Gaudreault et al, 2011).…”

“…Another mutation (rs41291058) in LDLRAP1 gene had been linked to autosomal recessive FH (Garcia et al, 2001;Eden et al, 2002). Four mutations (rs1367117, rs679899, rs533617 and rs562556), located in the APOB and PCSK9 genes, in the HGMD database were reported to be associated with altered lipid levels or altered binding efficiency (Shioji et al, 2004;Humphries et al, 2006b;Liao et al, 2008;Makela et al, 2012;Calandra et al, 2011;Al-Waili et al, 2013). Another mutation (rs505151) in the PCSK9 gene was previously associated with atherosclerosis (Humphries et al, 2006b;Kotowski et al, 2006).…”

“…Although genetic predisposition has been suggested to be an important determinant of hyperlipidemia (Andreotti et al, 2009;Liao et al, 2008;Willer et al, 2008), genetic factors alone cannot explain the recent increase in prevalence of hyperlipidemia and CHD. Unhealthy living habits and an unbalanced diet have been identified as the most significant risk factors for development of hyperlipidemia and for which an intervention can be most effectively designed (Mohanna et al, 2006).…”
