چکیده

background: apolipoprotein a2 (apoa2) is the second major apolipoprotein of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c). the study aim was to identify apoa2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of hdl-c levels and its relationship with hdl-c level. methods: this cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from tehran glucose and lipid study (tlgs) at research institute for endocrine sciences, tehran, iran from april 2012 to february 2013. in total, 79 individuals with extreme low hdl-c levels (&le5;th percentile for age and gender) and 63 individuals with extreme high hdl-c levels (&ge95;th percentile for age and gender) were selected. variants were identified using dna amplification and direct sequencing. results: screen of all exons and the core promoter region of apoa2 gene identified nine single nucleotide substitutions and one microsatellite five of which were known and four were new variants. of these nine variants, two were common tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) and seven were rare snps. both exonic substitutions were missense mutations and caused an amino acid change. there was a significant association between the new missense mutation (variant chr.1:16119226, ala98pro) and hdl-c level. conclusion: none of two common tag snps of rs6413453 and rs5082 contributes to the hdl-c trait in iranian population, but a new missense mutation in apoa2 in our population has a significant association with hdl-c.

The effect of select nutrients on serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I levels.

One of the factors contributing to the increased risk of developing premature atherosclerosis is low plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDLc). Multiple potential mechanisms account for the cardioprotective effects of HDL and its main protein apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I). The low plasma concentrations of HDL could be the result of increased fractional clearance ...
