Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We hypothesized that common genomic variants would be associated with variation in lipoprotein phenotypes in young subjects. We determined genotypes of FABP2, PON, APOC3, and APOE in 188 aboriginal Canadians, aged 9 to 17 years. We found that 13 of 32 possible genotype-phenotype associations were significant: (1) the FABP2 codon 54 genotype was associated with variation in plasma triglycerides (P = .045); (2) the PON codon 192 genotype was associated with variation in plasma total and LDL cholesterol and apoB (P = .0099, P = .0088, and P = .016, respectively); (3) the APOC3 insulin-response-element genotype was associated with variation in plasma triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, apoA-I, the total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio, and the apoB to apoA-I ratio (P = .0014, P = .0069, P = .045, P = .0021, and P = .0081, respectively); and (4) the APOE restriction isotype was associated with variation in plasma LDL cholesterol, apoB, the total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio, and the apoB to apoA-I ratio (P = .025, P = .034, P = .045, and P = .047, respectively). The average young age and relative absence of age-dependent secondary environmental factors could have eased the identification of small genetic effects on lipoprotein phenotypes in this study sample.
