Abstract

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.
