Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Interaction between genetic and environmental factors determines susceptibility of an individual to develop coronary artery disease . Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) play an important role in the metabolism of HDL-C ( High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol ), LDL-C (Low Density Lipoprotein Ch...

Background & Aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the key enzymes regulating the metabolism of triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphisms are possibly involved in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. Hind III polymorphism is one of the most common polymorphisms in LPL gene. In some studies, association of Hind III polymorphism with dyslipidemia h...

This study was performed to assess the effect of the S447X and Hind III lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms on development of coronary artery disease and hypertriglyceridemia. The study included 132 patients and 98 healthy control subjects of Croatian descent. The lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism was associated with coronary artery disease and hypertriglyceridemia, as indicated by the lo...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relevance between lipoprotein lipase (LPL) Hind III gene polymorphism and cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS A case-control study was performed utilizing PCR-RFLP method and sequencing of amplified products to detect LPL Hind III gene polymorphism in 350 cases of hemorrhagic stroke (HS group) and 350 healthy subjects (control group). Blood lipids and glucose levels were...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphism and cerebral hemorrhage in a Chinese population. METHOD This study was based on the case-control study, PCR-RELP and sequencing method were utilized for genotyping. LPL gene Hind III polymorphism was detected both in 300 patients with cerebral hemorrhage (CH group) and in 300 healthy control subjects ...

A rapid detection method was developed for DNA polymorphisms in the human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene. The examined polymorphisms include an A-C transversion in the 5'-region of intron 3, a T-G transversion that occurs within a Hind III site of intron 8, and the previously described C-T transition that causes a Pvu II polymorphism in intron 6. Gene fragments encompassing each polymorphic site...

A high-carbohydrate low-fat (HC/LF) diet and lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL) Ser447Stop and Hind III polymorphisms have separately been found to be associated with triacylglycerol (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). This study sought to test the effects of LPL polymorphisms and an HC/LF diet on the serum lipid profile of Chinese with a lower incidence of coronary artery disease...
