[Study on apoE gene polymorphism in Chinese type II b hyperlipidemia].
OBJECTIVE: To study apolipoprotein(apo) E polymorphism and its relationship with plasma lipids and apolipoproteins levels in Chinese patients with type II b hyperlip oproteinemia.
METHODS: apoE genotypes were assayed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method, serum lipids were determined by enzyme method, and apolipoproteins were measured by radial immunodiffusion assay in 74 type II b hyperlipidemia patients whose fasting serum lipids levels were TG > or = 2.26 mmol/L, TC > or = 6.21 mmol/L and in 230 healthy subjects whose fasting serum lipids levels were TG < 1.82 mmol/L, TC < 6.21 mmol/L from a population of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the serum TG, TC, LDLC, nHDLC, apoA II, apoB100, apoC II, apoC III, apoE levels and TG/HDLC ratio in patients with type II b hyperlipidemia were significantly increased(P < 0.001), and the serum HDLC levels and apoE/apoC III ratio were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). ApoE3/3 genotype and allele epsilon 3 frequency in type II b hyperlipidemia group and control group were both the highest. In type II b hyperlipidemia group, allele epsilon 2 frequency tended to increase and allele epsilon 4 frequency tended to decrease as compared with those in the control group (P > 0.05). In type II b hyperlipidemia group the genotype of apoE2 was associated with higher serum TG, apoC II, apoE levels and apoE/apoC III ratio when compared with the genotype of apoE3; the genotype of apoE4 was associated with higher serum TC, nHDLC and apoE levels when compared with the genotypes E3 and E2 (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The alleles epsilon 2 and epsilon 4 are associated with serum TG, TC, nHDLC, apoC II and apoE levels to some extent in type II b hyperlipide in Chinese population.
