The Asp 9 Asn Mutation in the Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Is Associated With Increased Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis

Abstract: This study shows that heterozygosity for a mutation in the LPL gene, which causes only subtle changes in fasting plasma lipids, may promote the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and diminish clinical event-free survival.

“…The REGRESS study found that the D9N variant in LPL attenuated the total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) response to pravastatin, but had no significant effect on angiographic progression of coronary artery lesions. 13 In our initial studies in the Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Trial (Post-CABG Trial) cohort, we observed no effect of D9N, whereas the HindIII variant in LPL was associated with increased coronary graft narrowing over time, independent of the degree of lipid lowering (moderate versus aggressive) with lovastatin. 14,15 In this study, we expand on the latter result, examining the association of LPL haplotypes with the atherosclerosis and lipid response to lovastatin therapy.…”

“…Moreover, it has been reported that the elevated triglyceride level characteristic of familial LPL deficiency is associated with premature atherosclerosis (17). It has also been reported that mutations in the LPL gene that are not associated with complete LPL deficiency nonetheless increase the risk of ischemic heart disease (18) and progression of CAD (19). Finally, it has been reported that LPL activity is inversely related to the severity of angina pectoris in patients with CAD (20).…”

“…15 One of these mutations, the D9N mutation, has been associated with marginal to substantial increase in plasma TG levels and with an increased risk of coronary artery disease. [16][17][18] The D9N mutation underlies heterozygosity for LPL deficiency in 2-5% of Caucasians. 18,19 We have recently demonstrated that individuals bearing a mutation in the LPL gene presented small LDL and HDL particles compared with healthy subjects and that carriers of the P207L mutation in the LPL gene were characterized by smaller LDL particles than carriers of the D9N mutation.…”
