A Systems Genetics Approach Implicates USF1, FADS3, and Other Causal Candidate Genes for Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia
We hypothesized that a common SNP in the 3' untranslated region of the upstream transcription factor 1 (USF1), rs3737787, may affect lipid traits by influencing gene expression levels, and we investigated this possibility utilizing the Mexican population, which has a high predisposition to dyslipidemia. We first associated rs3737787 genotypes in Mexican Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia (FCHL) c...
متن کاملLinkage of a candidate gene locus to familial combined hyperlipidemia: lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase on 16q.
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common lipid disorder characterized by elevated levels of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides that is present in 10% to 20% of patients with premature coronary artery disease. To study the pathophysiological basis and genetics of FCHL, we previously reported recruitment of 18 large families. We now report linkage studies of 14 candidate genes select...
متن کاملPlasma lipoproteins in familial combined hyperlipidemia and monogenic familial hypertriglyceridemia.
Plasma lipoprotein concentration, composition, and size were evaluated in two common familial forms of hypertriglyceridemia and compared with those in normal subjects. The very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) were triglyceride-enriched in familial hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride/apoprotein B ratio: 25.7 +/- 8.9) as compared to normal (9.6 +/- 12.2, P < 0.001) or familial combined hyperlipide...
متن کاملGenetics of familial combined hyperlipidemia and risk of coronary heart disease.
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries. This alarming statistic is partly attributable to lifestyle, and partly due to the genetic factors that make humans highly susceptible to atherosclerotic vascular disease. The principal metabolic causes of atherosclerosis include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Here we d...
متن کاملPulse wave velocity in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
BACKGROUND In the present cross-sectional study we investigated whether familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is associated with an increased arterial wall stiffness, and whether measures of arterial wall stiffness in FCH family members could contribute to cardiovascular risk stratification. METHODS Ninety-eight subjects with FCH and 230 unaffected relatives filled out a questionnaire about ...
