Evidence against linkage of familial combined hyperlipidemia to the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV gene complex.
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) was originally described as a disorder characterized by elevated levels of either plasma cholesterol or triglyceride (TG) or both in members ofthe same family. More recent studies have indicated that apolipoprotein B levels (apoB) are also elevated in these individuals. Although a dominant mode of inheritance was originally proposed, recent studies have q...
متن کاملCladistic analysis of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV gene cluster using a healthy French Canadian sample. I. Haploid analysis.
A cladistic analysis was carried out to identify haplotypes hypothesized to differ for functional DNA sequence variations within the apolipoprotein (apo) AI-CIII-AIV gene cluster that affect plasma lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein levels. A sample of unrelated healthy French Canadians was studied. First, a cladogram of the observed apo AI-CIII-AIV haplotypes was estimated. Then this cladog...
متن کاملSstI Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein CIII Gene in Iranian Hyperlipidemic Patients: A Study in Semnan Province
Objective(s) The Sst-I polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo CIII gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between Sst-I polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (HLP) patients from Semnan province, Iran. Materials and Methods Genomic DNA was pr...
متن کاملApolipoprotein multigene family: tandem organization of human apolipoprotein AI, CIII, and AIV genes.
The genes for two of the proteins of the plasma lipid transport system, apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) and CIII (apoCIII) are closely linked in the human genome. An approximately equal to 30-kilobase (kb) DNA segment containing these genes and their flanking sequences has been cloned and extensively characterized. Hybridization studies revealed that a DNA fragment located 12 kb 3' to the apoAI gene ...
متن کاملThe apolipoprotein CIII enhancer regulates both extensive histone modification and intergenic transcription of human apolipoprotein AI/CIII/AIV genes but not apolipoprotein AV.
The apolipoprotein (apo) AI/CIII/AIV/AV cluster genes are expressed at different levels in the liver and intestine. The apoCIII enhancer, a common regulatory element, regulates the tissue-specific expression of apoAI, apoCIII, and apoAIV but not apoAV. To study this regulation at the chromatin level, the histone modifications and intergenic transcription in the human apoAI/CIII/AIV/AV cluster w...
