Abstract
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinological condition affecting women of reproductive age, associated with insulin resistance and obesity. PCOS pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental factors. Objectives This study aimed to determine and compare genotype and allele frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5; rs662799) and perilipin 1 (PLIN1; rs894160, rs1052700 and rs6496589) genes in Western Saudi women to investigate their association with PCOS and its clinical characteristics. Design and methods This was a case-control study conducted on women with (n = 104) and without (n = 87) PCOS. The SNPs were genotyped using TaqMan genotyping assays. Results Significant and direct associations were detected between PCOS susceptibility and APOA5 SNP rs662799 and PLIN1 SNP rs894160 (P < .001). For APOA5 SNP rs662799, women with the A allele were more likely to have PCOS (relative risk [RR] = 1.348, odds ratio [OR] = 2.313, P < .001) and hypertriglyceridaemia (OR = 17.0, P = .5) than women with the G allele. For PLIN1 SNP rs894160, women with the T allele were more likely to have PCOS than women with the C allele (RR = 8.043, OR = 7.427, P < .001). For PLIN1 SNP rs1052700, women with the TT genotype were more likely to have hyperandrogenism (OR = 29.75, P = .02) and an irregular period (OR = 0.07, P = .040) than women with the AT genotype. Conclusion We identified novel alleles and genotypes contributing to the genetic risk of PCOS in the Western Saudi population.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the coexistence of disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity and is affected by genetic factors. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggested that APOA5 gene variants were significantly associated with MetS and its components. Dietary factors such as red and processed meat consumption can cause chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, and vascular depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation of the incidence of MetS by the interaction between APOA5 rs662799 polymorphism and red and processed meat consumption. Methods In this prospective cohort study, 3266 participants were collected from the Korea Association REsource (KARE) cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) from 2001 to 2016. APOA5 rs662799 polymorphism was extracted by GWAS using the Korean Chip. Red and processed meat consumption data were assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Results The incidence of MetS in carriers of the minor G allele of rs662799 (AG + GG) and the third tertile of red and processed meat consumption (serving/day) was higher than those with the major allele of rs662799 (AA) and the first tertile of red and processed meat consumption (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.30–2.22, p interaction = 0.002). Conclusions An association between the presence of the minor alleles of rs662799 and high red and processed meat consumption and the incidence of MetS was observed in Korean adults.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease with a high global incidence. Hypertriglyceridemia is a major risk factor for both cardiovascular disease and T2DM. In this study, we determined the allele and genotype frequencies of apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs662799 and perilipin 1 (PLIN1) SNPs rs894160, rs6496589, and rs1052700 and evaluated their association with T2DM risk in western Saudis. Only rs6496589 was found to be significantly associated with T2DM risk. We determined the risk allele for each SNP based on relative risk, and found that the G allele of rs662799, T allele of rs894160, G allele of r6496589, and T allele of rs1052700 correlated with T2DM risk. The effect of each SNP on T2DM risk and five of its clinical phenotypes was explored using multiple logistic regression. We found significant correlations between the C/G and G/G genotypes of rs6496589 and T2DM risk in the unadjusted model, whereas G/G was the only genotype that correlated with the risk of T2DM in the adjusted model. There was no significant correlation between rs662799, rs894160, and rs1052700 genotypes and T2DM risk. In conclusion, we have identified novel risk alleles and genotypes that contribute to genetic risk for T2DM in the western Saudi population.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:811657. [PMID: 35174233 PMCID: PMC8842998 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.811657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim There is a growing evidence that fluctuation in lipid profiles is important in cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants associated with low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) variability in statin-naïve Korean subjects and evaluate their associations with coronary atherosclerosis. Methods In statin-naïve subjects from Gene-Environment of Interaction and phenotype cohort, we performed genome-wide association studies of lipid variability; the discovery (first) and replication (second) sets included 4,287 and 1,086 subjects, respectively. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and degree of coronary artery stenosis were used as outcome measures. Cholesterol variability was determined by standard deviation and average successive variability, and significant coronary atherosclerosis was defined as CAC score ≥400 or coronary stenosis ≥70%. Results Mean HDL-C and LDL-C level were 54 ± 12 and 123 ± 30 mg/dL in the first set and 53 ± 12 and 126 ± 29 mg/dL in the second set. APOA5 rs662799 and APOA5 rs2266788 were associated with LDL-C variability and PXDNL rs80056520, ALDH2 rs671, HECTD4 rs2074356, and CETP rs2303790 were SNPs associated for HDL-C variability. APOA5 rs662799 passed Bonferroni correction with p-value of 1.789 × 10−9. Among the SNPs associated with cholesterol variability, rs80056520 and rs2266788 variants were associated with CACS ≥400 and coronary stenosis ≥70% and rs662799 variant was associated with coronary stenosis ≥70%. Conclusion Two SNPs associated with LDL-C variability (APOA5 rs662799 and rs2266788) and one SNP associated with HDL-C variability (PXDNL rs80056520) were significantly associated with advanced coronary artery stenosis. Combining GWAS results with imaging parameters, our study may provide a deeper understanding of underlying pathogenic basis of the link between lipid variability and coronary atherosclerosis.

Associations of Polygenetic Variants at the 11q23 Locus and Their Interactions with Macronutrient Intake for the Risk of 3GO, a Combination of Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, and Dyslipidemia. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11030207. [PMID: 33803960 PMCID: PMC8001133 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11030207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
3GO is a condition in which hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia co-occur, and these conditions are related to each other and genetic and environmental factors. We hypothesized that common genetic variants and their interactions with lifestyles influenced 3GO risk. We aimed to explore common genetic variants to affect 3GO risk and their haplotype interaction with lifestyles in a city hospital-based cohort in 58,701 Koreans > 40 years. 3GO was defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and DBP ≥ 90 mmHg for hypertension, fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL for hyperglycemia, and LDL ≥ 160 mg/dL or HDL ≤ 40 mg/dL, or triglyceride ≥ 200 mg/dL for dyslipidemia. Haplotypes were generated by genetic variants selected from genome-wide association study ((GWAS) an observational study of the genetic variation of the whole genome in different individuals, used to see if any variation is related to traits) after adjusting for age, sex, area of residence, and body mass index (BMI). Nutrient intakes were assessed using food frequency questionnaires. Interactions between haplotype and lifestyles and 3GO risk were investigated. Parameters related to metabolic syndrome were significantly different in the 0GO, 1-2GO, and 3GO groups, that is, groups of individuals with none, one to two, or all three of the components of 3GO. At the 11q23 locus, KCNQ1_rs2237892, ZPR1_rs2075291, APOA5_rs662799, APOA1_rs5072, and SIK3_rs151139277, influenced 3GO risk, and the minor alleles of their haplotype had a 3GO risk 3.23 times higher than the major alleles. For subjects with a high energy intake, the 3GO risk of the minor alleles was significantly higher than that of the major alleles (OR = 3.230, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.062~5.061, p < 0.001). BMI, HbA1c, SBP, and serum concentrations of glucose, HDL, and triglyceride were significantly higher for the minor allele than the major alleles (p < 0.001). The haplotype interacted with the intakes of protein (p = 0.033), digestible carbohydrate (p = 0.012), fat (p = 0.008), and undigestible carbohydrates (p = 0.015) to increase 3GO risk. An interaction was also observed between smoking and the haplotype (p = 0.007). The minor allele effects on 3GO incidence were higher in the high digestible carbohydrate intake and smoking groups. By contrast, the minor allele impacts on 3GO frequencies were much higher in the low intake of undigestible carbohydrates, protein, and fat. In conclusion, people who carry a minor allele of the 11q23 locus haplotype should avoid smoking and replace digestible carbohydrate intake with consuming high-quality protein, healthy fat, and undigestible carbohydrates.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) has been linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in several populations. In North Africa, only the Tunisian and Moroccan populations were investigated. Our aim is to assess the association between APOA5 gene variant (rs662799) and haplotypes with MetS in Tunisian population and to perform a meta-analysis in North Africa. A total of 594 Tunisian participants were genotyped for polymorphism rs662799 using KASPar technology. Two polymorphisms rs3135506 and rs651821 in APOA5 gene genotyped in our previous study, were used in addition to rs662799 to assess the haplotype association with MetS. The genotype of 875 participants was used for the meta-analysis. Statistical analyses were performed with R software. The rs662799 increases the risk of MetS under the dominant (P=0.018) and the additive models (P=0.028) in the Tunisian population. After stratification of the cohort following the sex and the geographic origin, a positive association of rs662799 with MetS was found for participant from the Northern region and for the women group. Only the haplotype AGT showed a significant association with MetS by decreasing the risk of the disease. The meta-analysis reported a significant association of rs662799 and rs3135506 with MetS. Our results showed a significant association between the APOA5 gene variants rs662799 and haplotypes with MetS and its traits in Tunisia. An impact of the sex and the geographic origin on the genotype distribution was highlighted. Our funding emphasizes the role of APOA5 in the development of MetS in North Africa.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) which is caused by obesity and insulin resistance, is well known for its predictive capability for the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The development of MetS is associated with multiple genetic factors, environmental factors and lifestyle. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) related to MetS in large Korean population based samples of 1,362 subjects with MetS and 6,061 controls using the Axiom® Korean Biobank Array 1.0. We replicated the data in another sample including 502 subjects with MetS and 1,751 controls. After adjusting for age and sex, rs662799 located in the APOA5 gene were significantly associated with MetS. 15 SNPs in GCKR, C2orf16, APOA5, ZPR1, and BUD13 were associated with high triglyceride (TG). 14 SNPs in APOA5, ALDH1A2, LIPC, HERPUD1, and CETP, and 2 SNPs in MTNR1B were associated with low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high fasting blood glucose respectively. Among these SNPs, 6 TG SNPs: rs1260326, rs1260333, rs1919127, rs964184, rs2075295 and rs1558861 and 11 HDL-C SNPs: rs4775041, rs10468017, rs1800588, rs72786786, rs173539, rs247616, rs247617, rs3764261, rs4783961, rs708272, and rs7499892 were first discovered in Koreans. Additional research is needed to confirm these 17 novel SNPs in Korean population.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 (apoA5) has been identified to play an important role in lipid metabolism, specifically in triglyceride (TG) and TG-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) metabolism. Numerous evidence has demonstrated for an association between apoA5 and the increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome, but the mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. Recently, several studies verified that apoA5 could significantly reduce plasma TG level by stimulating lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, and the intracellular role of apoA5 has also been proved since apoA5 is associated with cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) and affects intrahepatic TG accumulation. Furthermore, since adipocytes provide the largest storage depot for TG and play a crucial role in the development of obesity, we could infer that apoA5 also acts as a novel regulator to modulate TG storage in adipocytes. In this review, we focus on the association of gene and protein of apoA5 with obesity and metabolic syndrome, and provide new insights into the physiological role of apoA5 in humans, giving a potential therapeutic target for obesity and associated disorders.

Abstract
Background Although the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been reported in various populations in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the data is not conclusive. In this GWAS study, we assessed whether SNPs are associated with MetS and its individual components independently and/or through complex interactions in a Taiwanese population. Methods A total of 10,300 Taiwanese subjects were assessed in this study. Metabolic traits such as waist circumference, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fasting glucose were measured. Results Our data showed an association of MetS at the genome-wide significance level (P < 8.6 x 10-8) with two SNPs, including the rs662799 SNP in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene and the rs16944558 SNP in the collectin subfamily member 12 (COLEC12) gene. Moreover, we identified the effect of APOA5 rs662799 on triglyceride and HDL, the effect of rs1106475 in the actin filament associated protein 1 like 2 (AFAP1L2) gene on systolic blood pressure, and the effect of rs17667932 in the mediator complex subunit 30 (MED30) gene on fasting glucose. Additionally, we found that an interaction between the APOA5 rs662799 and COLEC12 rs16944558 SNPs influenced MetS, high triglyceride, and low HDL. Conclusions Our study indicates that the APOA5 and COLEC12 genes may contribute to the risk of MetS and its individual components independently as well as through gene-gene interactions.

Abstract
Increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been associated with the APOA5, APOC1, BRAP, BUD13, CETP, LIPA, LPL, PLCG1, and ZPR1 genes. In this replication study, we reassessed whether these genes are associated with MetS and its individual components independently and/or through complex interactions in a Taiwanese population. We also analyzed the interactions between environmental factors and these genes in influencing MetS and its individual components. A total of 3,000 Taiwanese subjects were assessed in this study. Metabolic traits such as waist circumference, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fasting glucose were measured. Our data showed a nominal association of MetS with the APOA5 rs662799, BUD13 rs11216129, BUD13 rs623908, CETP rs820299, and LIPA rs1412444 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Moreover, APOA5 rs662799, BUD13 rs11216129, and BUD13 rs623908 were significantly associated with high triglyceride, low HDL, triglyceride, and HDL levels. Additionally, we found the interactions of APOA5 rs662799, BUD13 rs11216129, BUD13 rs623908, CETP rs820299, LIPA rs1412444, alcohol consumption, smoking status, or physical activity on MetS and its individual components. Our study indicates that the APOA5, BUD13, CETP, and LIPA genes may contribute to the risk of MetS independently as well as through gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.

Abstract
AIMS Functional defects of the ApoA5 protein have been identified as risk factors for hypertriglyceridemia, vascular diseases and susceptibility to metabolic syndrome (MetS). These associations are neither strong nor consistent in all populations studied. In this study, we investigated the association between the ApoA5 -1131T>C and -12,238T>C polymorphic loci in Korean patients with MetS. METHODS A total of 1074 subjects, including 415 patients with MetS and 659 healthy control subjects, were enrolled to investigate the affect of ApoA5 polymorphisms on risk of MetS. Genotyping of the ApoA5 polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. RESULTS The CC genotype and the dominant (TT vs. TC+CC) and recessive (TT+TC vs. CC) models of the -1131T>C polymorphism were associated with increased MetS susceptibility (p < 0.001, p = 0.018, and p = 0.002, respectively). The association was male-specific when stratified by gender. With regard to the -12,238T>C polymorphism, the TC and CC genotypes and the dominant (TT vs. TC+CC) and recessive (TT+TC vs. CC) models were frequently found in the patient group, compared with the control group (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.031, respectively). The T-C, C-T, and C-C haplotypes of the ApoA5 -1131T>C and -12,238T>C polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk for MetS (p < 0.001, p = 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). The variant of the ApoA5 -1131T>C polymorphism was also associated with increased triglyceride (TG) levels. Dominant models of ApoA5 -1131T>C and -12,238T>C polymorphisms were associated with the risk components of MetS by the stratification analysis. CONCLUSION The -1131C and -12,238C variants and the C-containing haplotypes of ApoA5 -1131T>C and -12,238T>C polymorphisms were associated with higher risk for MetS in the Korean population. The -1131C variant was also associated with the increased level of TG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have been used extensively to identify genetic variants linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS), but most of them have been conducted in non-Asian populations. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and previously studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and their interaction with health-related behavior in Korean men. METHODS Seventeen SNPs were genotyped and their association with MetS and its components was tested in 1193 men who enrolled in the study at Seoul National University Hospital. RESULTS We found that rs662799 near APOA5 and rs769450 in APOE had significant association with MetS and its components. The SNP rs662799 was associated with increased risk of MetS, elevated triglyceride (TG) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein, while rs769450 was associated with a decreased risk of TG. The SNPs showed interactions between alcohol drinking and physical activity, and TG levels in Korean men. CONCLUSIONS We have identified the genetic association and environmental interaction for MetS in Korean men. These results suggest that a strategy of prevention and treatment should be tailored to personal genotype and the population.

Abstract
The role of triglyceride metabolism in different diseases, such as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases is still under extensive investigations. In genome-wide studies several polymorphisms have been reported, which are highly associated with plasma lipid level changes. Our goal was to examine eight variants: rs12130333 at the ANGPTL3, rs16996148 at the CILP2, rs17321515 at the TRIB1, rs17145738 and rs3812316 of the MLXIPL, rs4846914 at GALNT2, rs1260326 and rs780094 residing at the GCKR loci. A total of 399 Roma (Gypsy) and 404 Hungarian population samples were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method. Significant differences were found between Roma and Hungarian population samples in both MLXIPL variants (C allele frequency of rs17145738: 94.1% vs. 85.6%, C allele frequency of rs3812316: 94.2% vs. 86.8% in Romas vs. in Hungarians, p < 0.05), in ANGPTL3 (T allele frequency of rs1213033: 12.2% vs. 18.5% in Romas vs. Hungarians, p < 0.05) and GALNT2 (G allele frequency of rs4846914: 46.6% vs. 54.5% Romas vs. in Hungarians, p < 0.05), while no differences over SNPs could be verified and the known minor alleles showed no correlation with triglyceride levels in any population samples. The current study revealed fundamental differences of known triglyceride modifying SNPs in Roma population. Failure of finding evidence for affected triglyceride metabolism shows that these susceptibility genes are much less effective compared for example to the apolipoprotein A5 gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this case-control study we investigated the relative contribution of commons APOA5 polymorphisms and haplotypes to the risk of metabolic syndrome in Moroccan patients. METHODS Using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria for metabolic syndrome, the study included 176 patients and 105 controls. We genotyped APOA5 polymorphisms (-1131 T > C, c.56C > G, c.553G > T and c.1259 T > C) by PCR-RFLP analysis. The effects of APOA5 polymorphisms and constructed haplotypes on metabolic syndrome were estimated using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The statistical analysis showed a significant association between APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOA5 c.56C > G polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome in both Codominant and Dominant models. The APOA5 -1131 T > C polymorphism was associated with increased fasting glucose (p = 0.0295) and reduced HDL levels (p = 0.0091). Carriers of the APOA5 c.56G allele had increased triglyceride levels (p = 0.0435) and waist circumference (p = 0.0122). Similarly the APOA5 1259 T > C variant was associated with increased waist circumference (p = 0.0463). The haplotypes CCGT (OR = 3.223; p = 0.00278) and CGGT (OR = 8.234; p = 0.00534) were significantly associated with susceptibility to metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirms the association of APOA5 -1131 T > C and c.56C > G variants with the predisposition to metabolic syndrome complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate the relationships of the T-1131C (rs662799) polymorphism variants of apolipoprotein A5 (Apo A5) gene and variants of apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene common polymorphism (rs429358, rs7412) to signs of metabolic syndrome (MetS). DESIGN AND METHODS We examined 590 asymptomatic dyslipidemic patients divided into MetS+ (n=146) and MetS- (n=444) groups according to criteria of NCEP ATPIII Panel. We evaluated genotype frequencies and differences in MetS features between individual groups. Logistic regression analysis was used for the evaluation of Apo A5/Apo E variants as possible risk factors for MetS. RESULTS We found no statistical differences between genotype and allele frequencies for both Apo A5 and Apo E polymorphisms between MetS+ and MetS- groups. In all subjects and MetS- group, we confirmed well-known association of the -1131C Apo A5 minor allele with elevated triglycerides (TG, p<0.001). The Apo E gene E2 and E4 variants were associated with higher levels of TG (p<0.01) in comparison to E33 common variant. However, no statistical differences were observed in MetS+ subjects, regardless of significantly higher TG levels in this group. Apo A5/Apo E variant analysis in all dyslipidemic patients revealed significant increase of TG levels in all subgroups in comparison to common -1131T/E3 variant carriers, the most in -1131C/E4 variant subgroup. Logistic regression analysis models showed no association of Apo A5, Apo E and all Apo A5/Apo E variants with metabolic syndrome, even after adjustment for age and sex. CONCLUSION Our study refined the role of Apo A5 and Apo E genetic variants in the group of adult dyslipidemic patients. We demonstrate that except of TG, Apo A5 T-1131C (rs662799) and Apo E (rs429358, rs7412) polymorphisms have no remarkable effect on MetS characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated whether the polymorphism in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. However, those studies have produced inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism (rs662799) confers significant susceptibility to T2DM using a meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane database, CBMdisc, CNKI and Google Scholar were searched to get the genetic association studies. All statistical analyses were done with Stata 11.0. RESULTS A total of 19 studies included 4,767 T2DM cases and 10,370 controls (four studies involving 555 T2DM cases and 2958 controls were performed among Europeans and 15 studies involving 4212 T2DM cases and 7412 controls were performed among Asians) were combined showing significant association between the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism and T2DM risk (for C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.17-1.40, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.35-1.83, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/C+T/T: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.18-1.57, p<0.0001; for C/C+T/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.16-1.51, p<0.0001). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significant association was also found among Asians (for C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.22-1.40, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.38-1.88, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/C+T/T: OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.20-1.61, p<0.0001; for C/C+T/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.25-1.62, p<0.00001). However, no significant association was found between the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism and T2DM risk among Europeans. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis suggests that the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism is associated with an increased T2DM risk in Asian population.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene variants are genetic determinants of the concentration of triglycerides, which are a known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Using the standardized coronary angiography method, 290 CHD patients and 198 non‑CHD controls were recruited from Ningbo Lihuili Hospital. In addition, 331 unrelated healthy volunteers were recruited as healthy controls from Ningbo Ximen Community residents. Three variants of the APOA5 gene, S19W, ‑1131T>C and 553G>T, were analyzed for their association with CHD. Under a dominant inheritance model, ‑1131CT>C was shown to be a CHD risk factor (P=0.030; OR, 1.422; 95% CI, 1.036‑1.952). The single nucleotide polymorphism, 553G>T, was found to correlate with the severity of CHD in males (P=0.032). Meta‑analysis showed that ‑1131T>C was significantly associated with CHD (P<0.0001). By contrast, negative correlations with CHD were observed for S19W and 553G>T. In the present case‑control study, APOA5 gene variants were not found to correlate with the risk of CHD in the populations studied; however, ‑1131CT>C was shown to be a CHD risk factor under a dominant inheritance model. Meta‑analysis showed a significant contribution of ‑1131T>C to the risk of CHD, implying an ethnic difference in APOA5 gene variants.

Abstract
Significant abnormalities in lipid metabolism are frequently present in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Hypertriglyceridemia, a highly proatherogenic state, is associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease. Genetic polymorphism APOA5 -1131T>C has been recognized as a significant contributor to hypertriglyceridemia in both healthy and diabetic populations. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of APOA5 -1131T>C polymorphism with the serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients with T2DM. In total, 234 DNA samples from patients with T2DM were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. Serum lipid levels were measured using standard laboratory methods. Obtained APOA5 -1131T>C genotype frequencies were 89% (T/T) and 11% (T/C+C/C). There was no significant association between APOA5 -1131T>C genotypes and triglyceride levels (1.90 mM [1.32-2.74] vs. 1.78 mM [1.54-3.05] for T/T vs. T/C+C/C genotype; p=0.553), HDL cholesterol levels (1.30 mM [1.10-1.40] vs. 1.30 mM [1.05-1.40] for T/T vs. T/C+C/C; p=0.534), and LDL cholesterol levels (3.1 mM [2.3-3.8] vs. 3.0 mM [2.2-3.5] for T/T vs. T/C+C/C; p=0.313). Our results suggest that hypertriglyceridemia in patients with T2DM is not likely to be associated with the APOA5 -1131T>C polymorphism.

Xu C, Bai R, Zhang D, Li Z, Zhu H, Lai M, Zhu Y. Effects of APOA5 -1131T>C (rs662799) on fasting plasma lipids and risk of metabolic syndrome: evidence from a case-control study in China and a meta-analysis. PLoS One 2013; 8:e56216. [PMID: 23468858 PMCID: PMC3585417 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0056216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2012] [Accepted: 01/08/2013] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene −1131T>C (rs662799) has been suggested to be involved in the pathway of lipid homeostasis and the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the findings are not consistent. To systematically evaluate the associations between −1131T>C polymorphism and fasting lipid parameters and the risk of MetS, we conducted a case-control study in a Chinese population and a meta-analysis. The findings from 1840 Chinese participants indicated that the C allele carriers had significantly higher fasting total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and lower HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) than the TT homozygotes carriers. The −1131C allele was also found to be significantly associated with increased risk of MetS (OR = 1.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.15, 1.69) compared to the TT homozygotes. In the meta-analysis of 51,868 participants from 46 East Asian studies, 26 European studies and 19 studies of other ethnic groups, the −1131C allele was associated with higher fasting TC (weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.08 mmol/L, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.10, P = 1.74×10−9), TG (WMD = 0.30 mmol/L, 95% CI = 0.26, 0.33, P = 1.87×10−55), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) (WMD = 0.04 mmol/L, 95% CI = 0.02, 0.07, P = 0.002), and lower HDL-C (WMD = −0.05 mmol/L, 95% CI = −0.06,−0.04, P = 1.88×10−21), respectively. Based on 12 studies with 5,573 MetS cases and 8,290 controls from 5 East Asian studies, 5 European studies and 2 studies of other ethnic groups, the −1131C allele was associated with increased risk of MetS with an OR (95% CI) = 1.33 (1.16, 1.53) in the overall population, 1.43 (1.29, 1.58) in East Asian and 1.30 (0.94, 1.78) in European populations. In conclusion, the −1131C allele may be associated with elevated levels of fasting TG, TC, LDL-C and decreased HDL-C, and increased risk of MetS, especially in East Asians.

Abstract
We assessed the associations between the APOA5 −1131T>C polymorphism and lipid parameters and other risk factors of the metabolic syndrome in Korean subjects. A total of 2,901 participants from 20 oriental medical hospitals in Korea were enrolled between 2006 and 2011. According to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III definitions, subjects were classified into the metabolic syndrome group and control group. The APOA5 −1131T>C genotype was significantly associated with serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (effect = − 1.700 mg/dL, P=6.550-E07) in the total study population after adjustment for differences in age and gender. The association of the APOA5 −1131T>C genotype with serum log-transformed triglyceride was also significant in an additive genetic model (effect = 0.056 mg/dL, P=2.286E-19). After adjustment for age and gender, we determined that the odds ratio for the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome was 1.322 for C-allele carriers in the additive model (95% CI = [1.165 − 1.501], P=1.48E-05). In the current study, we demonstrated that the APOA5 −1131T>C polymorphism is associated with the metabolic syndrome because of its remarkable effect on serum triglyceride levels in Korean subjects.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a major cause of ischemic stroke, may be associated with variability of triglyceride (TG) levels. Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) genetic polymorphisms are associated with altered TG levels. The objective of this study was to investigate the coding region polymorphisms S19W (rs3135506) and G185C (rs2075291) and the promoter region polymorphism -1131T>C (rs662799) of the APOA5 gene as risk factors for ischemic stroke in Turkish population. Study group consisted of 272 ischemic stroke patients and 123 controls. Genotypes were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for S19W and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) for -1131T>C and G185C. 19W allele frequency was 0.090 in stroke patients and 0.062 in controls (P = 0.191). Minor allele frequencies of -1131T>C and G185C in patients were 0.106 and 0.004, respectively, and were nearly the same in controls. Total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were significantly higher for stroke patients having at least one 19W allele compared to non-carriers. A significant difference was also found for LDL-cholesterol levels of stroke patients; higher in -1131C allele carriers compared to wild type patients. There was a trend for higher frequency of ischemic stroke among -1131C allele carrier hypertensive, diabetic or obese subjects compared to non-carriers. However, APOA5 genotypes were not associated with the risk of ischemic stroke by logistic regression analysis. The present study demonstrated that carrying rare alleles of APOA5 S19W, -1131T>C and G185C alone do not constitute a risk for ischemic stroke in the studied Turkish subjects.

Abstract
Several candidate gene studies on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been conducted. However, for most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) no systematic review on their association with MetS exists. A systematic electronic literature search was conducted until the 2nd of June 2010, using HuGE Navigator. English language articles were selected. Only genes of which at least one SNP-MetS association was studied in an accumulative total population ≥ 4000 subjects were included. Meta-analyses were conducted on SNPs with three or more studies available in a generally healthy population. In total 88 studies on 25 genes were reviewed. Additionally, for nine SNPs in seven genes (GNB3, PPARG, TCF7L2, APOA5, APOC3, APOE, CETP) a meta-analysis was conducted. The minor allele of rs9939609 (FTO), rs7903146 (TCF7L2), C56G (APOA5), T1131C (APOA5), C482T (APOC3), C455T (APOC3) and 174G>C (IL6) were more prevalent in subjects with MetS, whereas the minor allele of Taq-1B (CETP) was less prevalent in subjects with the MetS. After having systematically reviewed the most studied SNP-MetS associations, we found evidence for an association with the MetS for eight SNPs, mostly located in genes involved in lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Aggressive clinical and public health interventions have resulted in significant reduction in coronary artery disease (CAD) worldwide. However, South Asian immigrants (SAIs) exhibit the higher prevalence of CAD and its risk factors as compared with other ethnic populations. The objective of the current study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), its association with high density Lipoprotein (HDL) function, Apo lipoprotein A-I (APOA1) gene polymorphisms, and sub-clinical CAD using common carotid intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) as a surrogate marker. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on SAIs aged 35-65 years. Dysfunctional/pro-inflammatory (Dys-HDL) was determined using novel cell free assay and HDL inflammatory index. Six intronic APOA1 gene polymorphisms were analyzed by DNA sequencing. According to the International Diabetes Federation definition, MS prevalence was 29.7% in SAIs without CAD and 26% had HDL inflammatory index ≥ 1 suggesting pro-inflammatory Dys-HDL. Six novel APOA1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed with logistic regression, three SNPs (G2, G3, and G5) were found to be significantly associated with MS (p = 0.039, p = 0.038, p = 0.054). On multi-variate analysis, MS was significantly associated with BMI > 23 (P = 0.005), Apo-A-I levels (p = 0.01), and Lp [a] (p < 0.0001). SAIs are known to be at a disproportionately high risk for CAD that may be attributed to a high burden for MS. There is need to explore and understand non-traditional risk factors with special focus on Dys-HDL, knowing that SAIs have low HDL levels. Large prospective studies are needed to further strengthen current study results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) are associated with hypertriglyceridaemia in our population. We studied the associations of SNPs in APOA5 with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Hong Kong and Guangzhou Chinese. METHODS We genotyped five tagging SNPs in 1330 unrelated subjects from the Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study cohort with follow-up after a median interval of 6·4 years; 1952 subjects from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study-Cardiovascular Disease Subcohort were used to replicate the findings. The MetS was defined according to the consensus criteria proposed jointly by several organizations in 2009. RESULTS The SNP rs662799 (-1131T>C) was associated with the MetS (odds ratio = 1·47, P = 0·00082) and the number of its components present (regression coefficient = 0·204, P = 4·6 × 10(-5) ) after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, drinking and education in Hong Kong subjects at baseline. Similar association of this SNP was found in Hong Kong subjects at follow-up (P = 0·010 and 0·00021, respectively) and in Guangzhou subjects (P = 0·0041 and 0·017, respectively). The association of rs662799 with the number of the MetS components was significant regardless of age, sex, obesity and alcohol drinking, but almost disappeared after further adjusting for plasma triglycerides. CONCLUSION Our results showed that the -1131T>C polymorphism in APOA5 was associated with the MetS because of its strong effect on plasma triglycerides. This may partly explain the higher cardiovascular risk in people with this polymorphism.

Abstract
Candidate gene association studies, linkage studies and genome-wide association studies have highlighted the role of genetic factors in the development of ischemic stroke. This research started over a decade ago, and can be separated into three major periods of research. In the first wave classic susceptibility markers associated with other diseases (such as the Leiden mutation in Factor V and mutations in the prothrombin and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes) were tested for their role in stroke. These first studies used just a couple of hundred samples or even less. The second and still ongoing period bridges the two other periods of research and has led to a rapid increase in the spectrum of functional variants of genes or genomic regions, discovered primarily in relation to other diseases, tested on larger stroke samples of clinically better stratified patients. Large numbers of these alleles were originally discovered by array-based genome-wide association studies. The third period of research involves the direct array screening of large samples; this approach represents significant progress for research in the field. Research into susceptibility genes for stroke has taught us that careful stratification of patients is critical, that susceptibility alleles are often shared between diseases, and that not all susceptibility factors that associate with clinical traits that are themselves risk factors for stroke (such as increase of triglycerides) necessarily represent susceptibility for stroke. Research so far has been mainly focused on large- and small-vessel associated stroke, and knowledge on other types of stroke, which represent much smaller population samples, is still very scarce. Although some susceptibility allele tests are on the palette of some direct-to-consumer companies, the clinical utility and clinical validity of these test results still do not support their use in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In recent studies, the T-1131C variant of apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene was found to confer a risk for metabolic syndrome (MS). Here we determined four haplotype-tagging polymorphisms (T-1131C, IVS3+G476A, T1259C, and C56G), and studied the distribution of the naturally occurring major haplotype profiles in MS. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 343 MS patients and 284 controls were genotyped using PCR-RFLP methods. Both in MS and control groups, we confirmed the already known association of -1131C, IVS3+473A and 1259C minor alleles with elevated triglyceride levels. The prevalence of the APOA5*2 haplotype (the combination of T-1131C, IVS3+G476A and T1259C SNPs) was 13.1% in MS patients, and 4.9% in controls (p<0.001); multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that this haplotype confers risk for the development of MS (OR=2.880; 95% CI: 1.567-5.292; p=0.001). We also observed a gender effect: in males a more prominent degree of susceptibility was found. Contrary to the APOA5*2 haplotype, the prevalence rate of APOA5*4 (determined by the T-1131C SNP alone) did not differ between MS patients and controls. We identified a novel haplotype, designated here as APOA5*5 (1259C allele alone); which appears to be protective against MS. CONCLUSION Our results refined the role of SNP T-1131C in the development of MS. The susceptibility nature of this SNP is limited to the APOA5*2 haplotype, while in APOA5*4 haplotype it did not confer a risk for the disease. In addition, as our current data suggest, the novel APOA5*5 haplotype can confer protection against MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Type 2 diabetic patients have an increased prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia. RBP4 has been associated with insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia in obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. APOA5 is proposed to be a genetic modulator of triglycerides. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between RBP4 plasma levels and lipid disturbances and to determine the impact of the APOA5-1131 T>C variant on this relationship in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 165 type 2 diabetic patients were included in the study. RBP4 plasma levels and the APOA5-1131 T>C variant were determined and the complete lipid profile was assessed by sequential ultracentrifugation. RBP4 was positively correlated with triglyceride levels in plasma and with all the components of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Despite the fact that a statistically significant relationship between the APOA5 genetic variant and RBP4 plasma levels was not found, the hypertriglyceridemic effect of high RBP4 levels was enhanced by the presence of the APOA5-1131 T>C genetic variant. Correlation coefficients were 2-fold higher for TC carriers compared to TT carriers with regard to RBP4 plasma levels and all the components of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Those type 2 diabetic patients with high RBP4 plasma concentrations and who were TC carriers showed an increased incidence of hypertriglyceridemia (OR=7.46, P=0.010). CONCLUSION RBP4 is associated with hypertriglyceridemia in type 2 diabetic patients. The RBP4 effect is conditioned by the presence of the APOA5-1131 T>C genetic variant.

Abstract
APOA5 -1131T > C and S19W single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been consistently associated with plasma lipid concentration and metabolic syndrome (MetS), alone and in modulation by dietary factors. Puerto Ricans have a high prevalence of metabolic conditions and high minor allele frequency for these SNP, suggesting a possible role in disease for this population. We aimed to determine the association of APOA5 -1131T > C and S19W with plasma lipids and markers of MetS, alone and in interaction with total fat intake, as a percent of total energy intake, in Puerto Ricans. Anthropometric and demographic data, FFQ, and blood samples were collected at baseline from participants in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (n = 802, 45-75 y). APOA5 S19W was associated with plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) (P = 0.044); minor allele carriers had lower HDL-C [1.12 +/- 0.03 (mean +/- SE)] than those with the common variant (1.18 +/- 0.01 mmol/L), even after adjustment for plasma triglycerides (TG) (P = 0.012). Neither polymorphism was associated with TG or other lipids. Interaction of the -1131T > C SNP with total fat energy intake was observed for plasma TG (P = 0.032) and total cholesterol (P = 0.034). APOA5 S19W interacted with total fat intake in association with systolic (P = 0.002) and diastolic (P = 0.007) blood pressure. Neither SNP was associated with MetS in the overall analysis or after stratifying by total energy intake as fat. In conclusion, Puerto Ricans present a distinctive lipid profile in association with APOA5 polymorphisms. Dietary fat intake seems to modulate these associations. The results contribute to the understanding of health disparities in this population.

Association of APOA5 and APOC3 gene polymorphisms with plasma apolipoprotein A5 level in patients with metabolic syndrome. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2009; 391:587-91.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) variants are associated with increased plasma triglycerides, a risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (MS), but a correlation with apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) genotypes is controversial. We investigated the correlation of APOA5 genotypes with plasma apoA5 levels and APOC3 genotypes in MS patients from a Romanian population. APOA5 (-1131T>C, c.56C>G) and APOC3 (-482C>T, -455T>C) genotypes and plasma apoA5 concentration were determined in MS patients and healthy subjects. Results showed higher apoA5 levels in plasma and high density lipoproteins (HDL) from MS patients, carriers of the APOA5 c.56G allele, as compared to MS carriers of APOA5 -1131C allele or the common genotype. ApoA5 levels in plasma and HDL fraction from MS carriers of -1131C and c.56G alleles correlated positively with plasma triglycerides levels and negatively with HDL-cholesterol in MS carriers of c.56G allele. Higher frequencies of APOC3 -482T and -455C alleles were detected in MS patients compared with healthy subjects. We demonstrated the association of APOC3 -482T and -455C with APOA5 -1131C allele, but not with c.56G allele in MS patients. We propose APOA5c.56C>G as a functional polymorphism, whereas APOA5 -1131T>C is not an independent risk factor, being effective only when associated with APOC3 -482T or -455C alleles.

Atherosclerosis 2009; 208:427-32. [PMID: 19732897 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2009.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2009] [Revised: 06/30/2009] [Accepted: 08/09/2009] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCH) is the most common genetic dyslipidaemia associated with coronary artery disease. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster are associated with FCH in Caucasians and with elevated triglycerides (TG) in various ethnic groups. We examined these associations with FCH in Hong Kong Chinese. METHODS Fifty-six Chinese FCH patients and 176 unrelated controls were studied. Thirteen SNPs in the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster were genotyped. RESULTS Four alleles in APOA5 were associated with FCH (P<0.001). The -1131T>C (rs662799) and -3A>G (rs651821) SNPs in APOA5 were in almost complete linkage disequilibrium (LD, r(2)=0.99), and their minor alleles were more frequent (P<0.001) in FCH than controls (0.60 vs. 0.24). The odds ratio (OR) for FCH was 6.2 (95% CI, 2.6-14.8) and 6.1 (2.6-14.6) per copy of -1131C and -3G, respectively, and 24.6 (8.4-72.0) and 24.4 (8.4-70.9) in -1131C and -3G homozygotes, respectively, as compared to wild-type homozygotes. The 1891T>C (rs2266788) SNP was in LD (r(2)=0.68) with -1131T>C and -3A>G, and the minor allele was more frequent in FCH than controls (0.42 vs. 0.19, P<0.001). The 553G>T (rs2075291) nonsynonymous variant was also associated with FCH (0.15 vs. 0.04, P=0.001) and, along with -3A>G (or -1131T>C) and 1891T>C, contributed to haplotypes predicting FCH. The two tightly linked SNPs, -1131T>C and -3A>G polymorphism were significantly associated with lipid traits in all subjects combined, with variant homozygous subjects having higher TG and LDL-C and lower HDL-C levels. CONCLUSIONS Some common polymorphisms and haplotypes in APOA5 are closely associated with FCH in Hong Kong Chinese, and these differ from those found in Caucasians.

Disparities in allele frequencies and population differentiation for 101 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms between Puerto Ricans and non-Hispanic whites. BMC Genet 2009; 10:45.

Abstract
Background Variations in gene allele frequencies can contribute to differences in the prevalence of some common complex diseases among populations. Natural selection modulates the balance in allele frequencies across populations. Population differentiation (FST) can evidence environmental selection pressures. Such genetic information is limited in Puerto Ricans, the second largest Hispanic ethnic group in the US, and a group with high prevalence of chronic disease. We determined allele frequencies and population differentiation for 101 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 30 genes involved in major metabolic and disease-relevant pathways in Puerto Ricans (n = 969, ages 45–75 years) and compared them to similarly aged non-Hispanic whites (NHW) (n = 597). Results Minor allele frequency (MAF) distributions for 45.5% of the SNPs assessed in Puerto Ricans were significantly different from those of NHW. Puerto Ricans carried risk alleles in higher frequency and protective alleles in lower frequency than NHW. Patterns of population differentiation showed that Puerto Ricans had SNPs with exceptional FST values in intronic, non-synonymous and promoter regions. NHW had exceptional FST values in intronic and promoter region SNPs only. Conclusion These observations may serve to explain and broaden studies on the impact of gene polymorphisms on chronic diseases affecting Puerto Ricans.

Abstract
This study investigated the association of apolipoprotein A5 (apoA5) gene polymorphism at position -1131T>C with cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 256 type 2 diabetic patients without cerebral infarction (T2DM), 220 type 2 diabetic patients with cerebral infarction (T2DMCI) and 340 healthy subjects were recruited from the same region (Hubei province, China). The genotype of apoA5 -1131T[Symbol: see text]C was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were quantitatively detected by using standard enzymatic techniques. The results showed that the prevalence of the apoA5 -1131C allele was significantly higher in T2DMCI group than that in control group (42.7% versus 31.2%, P<0.01). The carriers of rare C allele had higher TG levels as compared with carriers of common allele in the three groups (P<0.01). Logistic regression models, which were adjusted for age, gender, blood pressure, BMI, FBS, smoking, LDL-C and HDL-C, revealed that patients carrying the apoA5 -1131C allele and CC homozygotes were at high risk for T2DMCI. It was concluded that the apoA5 -1131C allele variant is an independent genetic risk factor for T2DMCI.

The APOA5 Trp19 allele is associated with metabolic syndrome via its association with plasma triglycerides. BMC MEDICAL GENETICS 2008; 9:84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of the present study was to assess the effect of genetic variability at the APOA5/A4/C3/A1 cluster locus on the risk of metabolic syndrome. METHODS The APOA5 Ser19Trp, APOA5 -12,238T>C, APOA4 Thr347Ser, APOC3 -482C>T and APOC3 3238C>G (SstI) polymorphisms were analyzed in a representative population sample of 3138 men and women from France, including 932 individuals with metabolic syndrome and 2206 without metabolic syndrome, as defined by the NCEP criteria. RESULTS Compared with homozygotes for the common allele, the odds ratio (OR) [95% CI] for metabolic syndrome was 1.30 [1.03-1.66] (p = 0.03) for APOA5 Trp19 carriers, 0.81 [0.69-0.95] (p = 0.01) for APOA5 -12,238C carriers and 0.84 [0.70-0.99] (p = 0.04) for APOA4 Ser347 carriers. Adjustment for plasma triglycerides, (but not for waist girth, HDL, blood pressure or glycemia - the other components of metabolic syndrome) abolished these associations and suggests that triglyceride levels explain the association with metabolic syndrome. There was no association between the APOC3 -482C>T or APOC3 3238C>G polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome. The decreased risk of metabolic syndrome observed in APOA5 -12,238C and APOA4 Ser347 carriers merely reflected the fact that the APOA5 Trp19 allele was in negative linkage disequilibrium with the common alleles of APOA5 -12,238T>C and APOA4 Thr347Ser polymorphisms. CONCLUSION The APOA5 Trp19 allele increased susceptibility to metabolic syndrome via its impact on plasma triglyceride levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We have examined the evidence from recent human studies examining the role of apolipoprotein A-V in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular disease risk. Special emphasis was placed on the evidence emerging from the association between genetic variability at the apolipoprotein A5 locus, lipid phenotypes and disease outcomes. Moreover, we address recent reports evaluating apolipoprotein A5 gene-environment interactions in relation to cardiovascular disease and its common risk factors. RECENT FINDINGS Several genetic association studies have continued to strengthen the position of APOA5 as a major gene that is involved in triglyceride metabolism and modulated by dietary factors and pharmacological therapies. Moreover, genetic variants at this locus have been significantly associated with both coronary disease and stroke risks. SUMMARY Apolipoprotein A-V has an important role in lipid metabolism, specifically for triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. However, its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. Clinical significance at present comes largely from genetic studies showing a consistent association with plasma triglyceride concentrations. Moreover, the effects of common genetic variants on triglyceride concentrations and disease risk are further modulated by other factors such as diet, pharmacological interventions and BMI. Therefore, these genetic variants could be potentially used to predict cardiovascular disease risk and individualize therapeutic options to decrease cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-V (apoA-V) was discovered in 2001 both by comparative sequencing and as a liver regeneration protein. The gene is a located at the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster on chromosome 11q23, a locus well known for playing a major role in regulating plasma cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels. ApoA-V is produced in the liver and has very low plasma concentrations (0.1-0.4 mug/ml). Mice lacking apoA-V have 4-fold increased TG levels, whereas apoA-V overexpression leads to 40% plasma TG reduction. Based on metabolic studies in vivo, apoA-V enhances the catabolism of TG rich lipoproteins rather than affecting their intestinal or hepatic production. By activating proteoglycans-bound lipoprotein lipase (LPL), apoA-V can accelerate TG hydrolysis from VLDL and chylomicrons independent from other apoproteins. Several variants at the APOA5 gene locus have been detected in humans. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with significantly higher plasma TG levels in patients (e.g., -1131T > C, S19W, G185C). In addition, these SNPs may affect fibrate response and obesity. However, data for a possible association of APOA5 variants with coronary heart disease are not consistent. Severe structural mutations (Q139X, Q148X, IVS3 + 3G > C) predispose to familial hypertriglyceridaemia and late-onset chylomicronaemia. Thus, despite its low plasma concentration, apoA-V is a major regulator of plasma TG metabolism in humans. However, the precise mechanism of its function is not yet clear.
