[Studies on association between lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms of Pvu II site and hypertriglyceridemics in
1Department of Moleculer Biology and Biochemistry, West China University of Medical Sciences, Chengdu, Sichuan 610041 P.R.China.
Objective:
To explore whether Pvu II restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the lipoprotein lipase(LPL) gene are associated with hypertriglyceridemics (HTG).
Methods:
Pvu II restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase gene on a sample of 135 HTG patients and 193 age-matched healthy individuals in Chengdu area were detected with the method of PCR-RFLP.
Results:
The P+ P+ genotype frequency and P+ allelic frequency of LPL gene for HTG cases are higher than those for control groups (0.460 vs 0.337,P<0.05; 0.689 vs 0.565,P<0.01). The serum levels of TGapoCII, apoCIII, apoE and TG/HDL-C in P+P+ genotype are higher than those in P-P- genotype(P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The results suggest that P+P+ genotype in the lipoprotein lipase gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertriglyceridemics in Chinese population.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
