Rare Genetic Variants and High-Density Lipoprotein
Although static plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), usually measured in the fasting state, is an excellent marker of atherosclerosis risk, its direct causal role in atherogenesis has lately been called into question. Strong evidence refuting a causal protective role for HDL has come from studies of rare genetic variants that affect plasma HDL-C concentrations. ...
متن کاملExome sequencing identifies 2 rare variants for low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in an extended family.
BACKGROUND Exome sequencing is a recently implemented method to discover rare mutations for Mendelian disorders. Less is known about its feasibility to identify genes for complex traits. We used exome sequencing to search for rare variants responsible for a complex trait, low levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted exome sequencing in a l...
متن کاملAssociation of high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein E genetic variants with age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the association of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with apolipoprotein E (APOE) variants and serum lipid profiles, including levels and fractions of total serum cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), and triglycerides (TG). METHODS Genotyping of APOE-HhaI was performed in 134 pa...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of long-lived families reveals novel variants influencing high density-lipoprotein cholesterol
The plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) have an inverse relationship to the risks of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and have also been associated with longevity. We sought to identify novel loci for HDL that could potentially provide new insights into biological regulation of HDL metabolism in healthy-longevous subjects. We performed a genome-wide asso...
متن کاملMultiple genetic variants along candidate pathways influence plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.
The known genetic variants determining plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels explain only part of its variation. Three hundred eighty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across 251 genes based on pathways potentially relevant to HDL-C metabolism were selected and genotyped in 3,575 subjects from the Doetinchem cohort, which was examined thrice over 11 years. Three hundred fifty-three SN...
