    Abstract

    CONTEXT:

    Genetic variants in lipoprotein lipase may affect triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD).

    OBJECTIVE:

    The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of T(-93)G, G(-53)C, Asp9Asn, Gly188Glu, Asn291Ser, and Ser447Ter lipoprotein lipase genotypes on triglycerides, HDL, and IHD.

    DESIGN:

    The cross-sectional study involved 9004 adults. The prospective study consisted of 8817 adults developing 1001 IHD events over 23 yr. The case-control study involved 7818 non-IHD individuals vs. cohorts of 915 and 1062 IHD patients, respectively.

    SETTING:

    The study was performed in the Danish general population (the Copenhagen City Heart Study).

    PARTICIPANTS:

    IHD was angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.

    MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

    Triglycerides, HDL, and IHD were the main outcome measures.

    RESULTS:

    Cross-sectionally, triglycerides varied by genotype with 1.27 mmol/liter in women and 1.22 mmol/liter in men. HDL cholesterol varied by genotype with 0.49 mmol/liter in women and 0.60 mmol/liter in men. Prospectively, 9Asn (with -93G) heterozygotes and homozygotes combined vs. noncarriers had a hazard ratio for IHD of 1.6 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.2-2.3]; 291Ser and 447Ter did not change IHD risk. In the case-control study, combining the cohorts of IHD patients, 9Asn (with -93G) heterozygotes and homozygotes combined vs. noncarriers had an odds ratio for IHD of 1.5 (CI, 1.2-2.1). 291Ser and 447Ter did not change IHD risk. Stratified for apolipoprotein E genotype, the odds ratios for IHD in 9Asn (with -93G) heterozygotes and homozygotes combined vs. noncarriers were 2.6 (CI, 1.2-5.5) among epsilon32 individuals and 2.4 (CI, 1.4-4.1) among epsilon43 individuals.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    Genetic variation in lipoprotein lipase is associated with differences in plasma triglycerides greater than 1 mmol/liter and differences in HDL cholesterol greater than 0.5 mmol/liter. A 1.6-fold risk of IHD in 9Asn (with -93G) heterozygotes and homozygotes combined is influenced by apolipoprotein E genotype.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • Gene (OMIM)
        Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.
