Sex-associated effect of CETP and LPL polymorphisms on postprandial lipids in familial hypercholesterolaemia

Abstract: Background: This study assessed the gender-specific influence of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (TaqIB, I405V) and lipoprotein lipase (S447X) polymorphisms on the response to an oral fat tolerance test in heterozygotes for familial hypercholesterolaemia.

“…Males and postmenopausal females had higher levels of serum TC and TG subclasses compared with premenopausal females [37]. Males seem to have higher levels of postprandial TG than females [38]. All of this aforementioned evidence supports our finding that there exists an interactive effect between gender and certain Hcy metabolic gene polymorphisms on blood lipid levels.…”

“…In a sex associated review on effect of LPL S447X in familial hypertriglyceridemia, no significant difference in genotype frequencies was noted in patients and controls. The similar results were found when results were compared between males and females [28].…”

“…Despite more than 60 different mutations of the LPL gene having been described that can result in a reduction of enzyme synthesis and activity, data on the effect of mutations and SNPs of LPL on postprandial response are controversial. While a difference between carriers of the Hind-III (H1/H2) SNP was observed 78 , for the S447X variant, which is one of the most frequent polymorphisms of LPL with an incidence of 17-22% in Caucasian populations 79,80 , both reduced, increased or unchanged LPL activity was reported and available studies failed to clearly demonstrate any difference between genotypes on postprandial lipemia 81 . For HL, data indicate that the presence of the A allele in the À250G/A promoter polymorphism is associated with a higher postprandial lipemic response 82 .…”
