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 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...
متن کاملContribution of polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster to hyperlipidaemia in patients with gout.
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that hyperuricaemia is independently related to the insulin resistance syndrome and that polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster are also related to insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster in persons with gout and to determine whether these polymorphisms contribute to the pat...
متن کاملResponse to a urate-lowering diet according to polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster.
OBJECTIVE The apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster has been associated with the response to a urate-lowering diet, and polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein CIII gene have been associated with hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia. We assessed the influence of polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster on the response to a urate-lowering diet in patients with hyperuricemia. METHODS ...
