Abstract
Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between various candidate gene polymorphisms and gallbladder stone disease (GSD) across ethnic populations; however, the results are often inconsistent. This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the influence of common ABCG8 T400K, ABCG8 D19H, ABCG8 C54Y, ApoB100 EcoRI, ApoB100 XbaI, ApoE HhaI, CETP TaqI, CYP7A1 Bsa, LRPAP1 I/D and TNF-α A308G polymorphisms on the risk of gallbladder stone disease. 33 Full-text articles with 9250 cases and 12,029 healthy controls (total 21,279 subjects) were analyzed using the RevMan software (V5.1) and the Comprehensive Meta-analysis software (Version 2.0, BIOSTAT, Englewood, NJ) a Random-effects model was applied. Begg's funnel plots, Fail-safe number, Egger's regression intercept and Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation tests were performed for the potential publication bias and sensitivity analysis. The studies were also sub-grouped into European and non-European groups to find out role of ethnicity, if any, on GSD risk. Studies included in quantitative synthesis were ABCG8 T400K rs4148217 (cases/controls, n = 671/1416) (4 studies), ABCG8 D19H rs11887534 (n = 1633/2306) (8 studies), ABCG8 C54Y rs4148211 (n = 445/1194) (3 studies), ApoB100 EcoRI rs1042031 (n = 503/390) (4 studies), ApoB100 XbaI rs693 (n = 1214/1389) (9 studies), ApoE HhaI rs429358 (n = 1335/1482) (12 studies), CETP TaqI rs708272 (n = 1038/1025) (5 studies), CYP7A1 Bsa rs3808607 (n = 565/514) (3 studies), LRPAP1 I/D rs11267919 (n = 849/900) (3 studies), TNF-α A308G rs1800629 (n = 997/1413) (3 studies). The combined results displayed significant association of ABCG8 D19H (GC + CC) [OR with 95%CI = 2.2(1.7-2.8); p < 0.00001], ABCG8 Y54C (GA + GG) [OR with 95%CI = 0.65(0.5-0.9); p = 0.01]. APOB100 EcoRI (GG vs. AA) [OR with 95%CI = 0.51(0.3-0.9); p = 0.05], (GG vs. GA) [OR with 95%CI = 0.6(0.4-0.9); p = 0.04], (GA + AA) [OR with 95%CI = 0.6(0.4-0.9); p = 0.006]. APOB Xba I (X- vs. X+) [OR with 95%CI = 0.53(0.3-0.8); p = 0.006. APOE Hha I (E4/E4 vs. E3/E3) [OR with 95%CI = 3.5(1.1-14.9); p = 0.04] and LRPAP1 I/D (ID + II) [OR with 95%CI = 1.27(1.0-1.6); p = 0.03] with the GSD risk. It was found that ABCG D19H was significantly associated with GSD in both European and Non-European populations. While APOB XbaI and LRPAP1 I/D markers were associated with gallstone disease only in Non- European population. Additionally, APOE HhaI and APOB 100 ECoRI were found to be associated with GSD only in European population. The results of quantitative synthesis suggest that the ABCG8 D19H polymorphism was associated with the increased risk of GSD in both European and Non-European populations, APOE Hha I and LRPAP1 I/D polymorphisms were associated with the increased risk of GSD in European and Non-European population respectively. However, no association was found in ABCG8 T400K, CETP Taq1, CYP7A1 Bsa and TNF-A308G polymorphisms with Gallstone Disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene have been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the results on this topic are conflicting. The present study aims to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between CHD and apoB genetic polymorphisms by meta-analysis. METHODS We identified a total of 54 studies involving 7236, 10,912, and 14,102 individuals, respectively, for EcoRI, XbaI, and SpIns/Del polymorphisms by searching in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, and CNKI. We utilized RevMan 5.0 software to perform the meta-analyses. RESULTS A significant statistical association between apoB EcoRI polymorphism and CHD was observed under an allelic (p = 0.001, odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12-1.57), dominant (p = 0.005, OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06-1.40), and recessive (p = 0.04, OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.01-1.74) model. We also found similar association of apoB SpIns/Del polymorphism with CHD. However, we did not find association between apoB XbaI polymorphism and CHD. CONCLUSION The current meta-analysis found an association of EcoRI polymorphism and SpIns/Del polymorphism with an increased risk of CHD. No significant association between apoB XbaI polymorphism and CHD we observed in the present study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several environmental and genetic factors are associated with high levels of lipids in obese patients. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the major protein component of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons and plays a central role in lipid metabolism. Several apoB restriction fragment length polymorphisms (XbaI, EcoRI, MspI) have been reported to be associated with variation in lipid levels and obesity. To date, no data are available on the relationship between XbaI polymorphism and lipid levels in Egyptian populations. Following clinical profiling, 178 obese (body mass index [BMI] >25 kg/m(2)) and 178 age-matched non-obese (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m(2)) subjects were included in this case-control study. All samples were analysed for total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol. Genetic analysis of apoB XbaI (X) was performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The aim of this study was to assess the association of apoB XbaI gene polymorphism (X) and lipid profiles in obese and non-obese Egyptian populations. RESULTS Obese subjects demonstrated significantly higher values of waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, and total lipid. However, in our sample we did not find significant differences in apoB XbaI gene polymorphism (X) genotype or allele frequencies. Moreover, none of the studied lipid parameters showed any association with the gene polymorphism. CONCLUSION This study reveals no significant association of apoB XbaI gene polymorphism (X) with obesity or lipid profiles in an Egyptian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Over the last few decades, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension have become main health evils. The health problems of obesity are well-recognized. However, the fact that all obese individuals are not at the same risk of developing a disease is also recognized. The apolipoprotein B (APOB) plays a central role in lipid metabolism. So we compare the association of APOB XbaI gene polymorphism and lipid profile total in obese north Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 132 obese (body mass index [BMI] >25 kg/m2) and 132 age matched non-obese (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2) subjects were studied after taking detailed clinical profile. Lipid profile in serum/plasma was done using commercial kits. Genetic analysis of APOB XbaI was done using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Leanth polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Statistical analysis was performed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 11.5) software (IBM Corporation). All continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD and tested by analysis of variance test. Comparisons of categorical variables were assessed using χ2 tests or Fisher's exact test. P < 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: Analysis showed that obese subjects had significantly higher value of the waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), and lipid profile. In APOB XbaI gene polymorphism, we did not find significant differences in genotype or allele frequencies. Moreover, none of the studied metabolic parameters (lipid profile) showed any association with the gene polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS: Study reveals no considerable association of APOB XbaI gene polymorphism with obesity and lipid profile in north Indians.

Abstract
Background Gallstones (GS) is the major manifestation of gallbladder disease, and is the most common risk factor for gallbladder cancer (GBC). Previous studies investigating the association between ApoB-100 gene polymorphisms and the risks of GS and GBC have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the effects of ApoB-100 gene polymorphisms on the risks of GS and GBC. Methods A computerized literature search was conducted to identify the relevant studies from PubMed and Embase. Fixed or random effects model was selected based on heterogeneity test. Publication bias was estimated using Begg’s funnel plots and Egger’s regression test. Results A total of 10, 3, and 3 studies were included in the analyses of the association between ApoB-100 XbaI, EcoRI, or insertion/deletion (ID) polymorphisms and the GS risks, respectively, while 3 studies were included in the analysis for the association between XbaI polymorphism and GBC risk. The combined results showed a significant association in Chinese (X+ vs. X−, OR = 2.37, 95%CI 1.52–3.70; X+X+/X+X- vs. X+X+, OR = 2.47, 95%CI 1.55–3.92), but not in Indians or Caucasians. Null association was observed between EcoRI or ID polymorphisms and GS risks. With regard to the association between XbaI polymorphism and GBC risk, a significant association was detected when GBC patients were compared with healthy persons and when GBC patients were compared with GS patients. A significant association was still detected when GBC patients (with GS) were compared with the GS patients (X+X+ vs. X-X−, OR = 0.33, 95%CI 0.12–0.90). Conclusion The results of this meta-analysis suggest that the ApoB-100 X+ allele might be associated with increased risk of GS in Chinese but not in other populations, while the ApoB-100 X+X+ genotype might be associated with reduced risk of GBC. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism and a major candidate gene for coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors assessed associations between 7 LPL polymorphisms and lipid fractions and CHD risk in population-based cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies published by January 2007. Meta-analyses of 22,734 CHD cases and 50,177 controls in 89 association studies focused on the relations of the T-93G (rs1800590), D9N (rs1801177), G188E, N291S (rs268), PvuII (rs285), HindIII (rs320), and S447X (rs328) polymorphisms to high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, myocardial infarction, or coronary stenosis. Carriers of 9N or 291S had modestly adverse lipid profiles. Carriers of the less common allele of HindIII or of 447X had modestly advantageous profiles. The combined odds ratio for CHD among carriers was 1.33 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14, 1.56) for 9N, 1.07 (95% CI: 0.96, 1.20) for 291S, 0.89 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.98) for the less common HindIII allele, and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.75, 0.94) for 447X. For T-93G (odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.52) and PvuII (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.89, 1.04), there were null associations with lipid levels or CHD risk; information on G188E was limited (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 0.88, 8.87). The study of LPL genotypes confirms the existence of close interrelations between high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride pathways. The influence of these genotypes on CHD risk warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imbalance in cholesterol homeostasis may lead to gallstone disease. Apolipoprotein B is sole component of low-density lipoprotein and plays an important role in cholesterol metabolism. The present study was carried out to explore the association of APOB 3' VNTR, exon 26 XbaI and signal peptide insertion/ deletion polymorphisms with gallstone disease. 214 ultrasonographically proven gallstone patients and 322 healthy, age and sex matched controls were taken for the study. Genotyping was done using PCR followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for VNTR and insertion/ deletion analysis. For APOB XbaI polymorphism PCR product was digested with XbaI restriction enzyme, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. All statistical analyses were done using SPSS v11.5. Higher repeat alleles of APOB 3' VNTR polymorphism were more frequent in gallstone patients than in controls. Alleles with more than 57 repeats were present only in patient group. Long (L) alleles with repeat higher than 49, were significantly higher (P=0.000; OR=3.705, 95% CI 2.577-5.326) and medium (M) alleles were lower (P=0.000; OR=0.406, 95% CI 0.304-0.542) in patients than in controls. To nullify the effect of gender, data was further stratified into male and female population. APOB 3' VNTR, L alleles were imposing risk and M alleles were protective in both male and female population. APOBXbaI and insertion/deletion polymorphisms were not found to be associated with the gallstone disease. Longer alleles of APOB 3' VNTR occur more frequently in gallstone patients, and may be an important risk factor for the development of gallstone disease. APOB XbaI and signal peptide insertion/deletion polymorphisms may not be contributing to the risk for gallstone disease.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine if there is an association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and apolipoprotein E (apo E) genes and the serum lipid profile in pregnancy and puerperium. Non-diabetic women of European descent in the third semester of pregnancy (N = 120) were selected. Those with diseases or other condition that could modify their lipid profile were excluded from the study (N = 32). Serum lipids were measured by routine laboratory procedures and genomic DNA was extracted by a salting out method. LPL (PvuII and HindIII) and apo E (HhaI) SNPs were detected by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Categorical and continuous variables were compared by the chi-square test and Student t-test or ANOVA, respectively. Women carrying the LPL P1P1 genotype had higher serum LDL cholesterol (N = 21; 155 +/- 45 mg/dL) than women carrying the P1P2/P2P2 genotypes (N = 67; 133 +/- 45 mg/dL; P = 0.032). During the puerperium period, serum levels of triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol were significantly reduced in women carrying the P1P1 (73%, P = 0.006) and P1P2 (51%, P = 0.002) genotypes but not in women carrying the P2P2 genotype (23%, P > 0.05). On the other hand, serum concentrations of lipids did not differ between the LPL HindIII and apo E genotypes during pregnancy and after delivery. We conclude that LPL PvuII SNP is associated with variations in serum lipids during pregnancy and the puerperal period in non-diabetic women.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of gallbladder cancer (GBC) is usually paralleled by the prevalence of gallstone disease, and genes of cholesterol metabolism have been implicated in gallstone disease. The XbaI and insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism of Apolipoprotein B (APOB) appears to influence cholesterol homoeostasis and possibly risk for gallstone disease. We examined the effect of these polymorphisms individually as well as their haplotypes on GBC and gallstone patients in North Indian population. METHODS The study comprises 123 consecutive cases of proven GBC, 172 cases of gallstone and 232 healthy subjects of similar age and sex. The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes and genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS In a case-control study, APOB XbaI and ins/del polymorphisms were not significantly associated with risk of GBC. Using the expectation maximization algorithm, four haplotypes were obtained, and haplotype X(+),D was found to be significantly higher in GBC patients without stone in comparison with healthy subjects [odds ratio (OR) 2.9, 95% confidence interval 1.2-6.6 P=0.012]. CONCLUSIONS The X(+),D haplotype of APOB is associated with increased risk for development of GBC and the risk is not modified in the presence of gallstones.

Abstract
Abstract
Context.—Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism, hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. The PvuII polymorphic variant of LPL gene is common and might affect risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Objective.—Our aim was to determine whether LPL– PvuII polymorphism can be considered to be an independent risk factor or a predictor for CAD in Turkish subjects.
Design.—We used polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion to determine the distribution of the previously described C→T transition that causes a PvuII polymorphism in intron 6 among healthy blood donors of Turkish origin and among angiographically confirmed CAD patients with comparable ethnic backgrounds.
Results.—For the PvuII genotypes, within the CAD group (n = 80), the +/− genotype was found in 39 individuals (48.8%), whereas 25 (31.3%) carried the +/+ genotype, and 14 (17.5%) carried the −/− genotype. Within the control group (n = 49), the −/− genotype was found in 19 individuals (38.8%), 16 (32.7%) carried the +/− genotype, and 14 (28.6%) carried the +/+ genotype. The genotype frequency distribution was significantly different (P = .049) in the CAD and control study groups. The most frequent genotype among CAD patients was +/−; this genotype was more frequent in patients than in control subjects. However, the −/− genotype was more prevalent in the control group. Lipoprotein lipase–PvuII polymorphism was found to be associated with fasting total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The +/+ genotype was found to have higher levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in both the CAD and control groups.
Conclusion.—There was a difference in the distribution of LPL–PvuII genotypes between the healthy subjects and the patients with CAD. Lipoprotein lipase–PvuII polymorphisms were not detected as independent risk factors for CAD in this study group, but had associations with lipid levels.

Abstract
The effect of apolipoprotein E genotype and polymorphisms of lipoprotein lipase gene on plasma postprandial triglyceride levels in familial combined hyperlipidemic subjects and their relatives have not been sufficiently studied. This study included sixteen familial combined hyperlipidemic parents (G1): age: 52 +/- 9 years with total-cholesterol: 7.2 +/- 1.7 mmol/L, fasting triglycerides: 2.8 +/- 1.4 mmol/L and sixteen children (G2) (twelve were normolipidemic): of age: 22 +/- 5 years with total-cholesterol: 5.2 +/- 1.1 mmol/L, fasting triglycerides: 2.06 +/- 1.8 mmol/L and twelve normolipidemic, healthy controls. Blood samples were taken fasting and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hr postprandially after the standard fat rich test meal. We determined lipid parameters, apolipoprotein E and lipoprotein lipase HindIII and PvuII polymorphisms as well. The 6-hr critical postprandial triglyceride values were abnormal in both G1: 5.88 +/- 2.7 mmol/L and G2: 3.53 +/- 2.7 mmol/L (p <0.001), respectively, and differed significantly (p <0.001) from each other. The subjects of familial combined hyperlipidemic families with E4 allele in both generations exhibited significantly (p <0.001) higher and extended postprandial lipemia. We did not find significant effects of lipoprotein lipase HindIII or PvuII polymorphisms on the fasting lipid values alone, however in normolipidemic subjects from the same families the homozygosity of HindIII variation was associated with higher triglyceride postprandial peak (p <0.01). The main findings of our study are that i.) normolipidemic G2 subjects in familial combined hyperlipidemic families have already abnormal postprandial status, and ii.) the 6 h postprandial triglyceride values were correlated with fasting triglyceride levels, which showed association with the apolipoprotein E4 allele.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between the marker D8S282 near the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene locus, and blood pressure, anthropometric and biochemical parameters in 229 healthy Chinese subjects. METHOD Genotyping was performed using an automated DNA sequencer and the Base ImageIR software. Eight different alleles were identified (272-286 bp) resulting in 15 genotypes in our population. We investigated the association between the common (28.8%) 278 bp allele and the anthropometric and biochemical parameters. RESULTS In a tertile analysis, the frequency of the 278 bp allele increased linearly ( P = 0.003) with increasing systolic blood pressure (SBP). The relationship was most evident in the females ( n = 141); SBP was higher in homozygotes for the 278 bp allele (117 +/- 10 mmHg, = 12) than those without this allele (109 +/- 9 mmHg, = 77, 0.05) and was gene-dose dependent, and this difference was more significant after adjusting for age (P = 0.004). No relationship between the locus and the anthropometric or biochemical parameters investigated was observed. CONCLUSION The D8S282 marker near the LPL gene locus contributes to the variance of SBP in healthy Hong Kong Chinese subjects, particularly in females.

Abstract
The prevalence of the familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 (FDB) Arg3500Gln mutation in 525 unrelated hypercholesterolaemic Polish subjects was evaluated. DNA samples were screened for FDB mutation using SSCP method. Presence of mutation was confirmed using a mismatch MspI PCR strategy. Plasma lipid levels and clinical characteristics of 13 patients identified as carriers of the mutation and of their 23 affected relatives were analysed and compared with non-affected ones. In the affected individuals a variable expression of lipid concentrations and of atherosclerosis symptoms were observed. The prevalence of FDB Arg3500Gln mutation in hypercholesterolaemic Polish subjects (3.7%) seems to be similar to the frequency reported in other Caucasian hypercholesterolaemic populations. The estimated prevalence of the mutation in general Polish population is relatively high being 1/250. The same haplotype at the apoB locus in the carriers of this mutation in Poland as in other populations from Western Europe suggests its common origin. In one hypercholesterolaemic subject a non-hitherto described mutation was identified. It consisted in C-->T transition in apoB codon 3492 leading to threonine to isoleucine substitution in 3492 position of apoB gene (Thr3492Ile).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between plasma lipids and insulin and variation in the genes for apolipoproteins (APO) E (CfoI), B (insertion/deletion), C1 (HpaI), and C3 (C-482T, C3238G) in a population-based Czech Slavonic study. DESIGN AND METHODS In 131 men and 154 women, polymorphisms were investigated using PCR. In the same subjects plasma lipid levels and insulin were measured. RESULTS In the women, carriers of the e4 allele had higher apoB (p = 0.03) and triglyceride (p = 0.03) compared to e3 homozygotes, whereas in the men, the effect of the e4 allele was seen on total cholesterol (p = 0.02), LDL cholesterol (p = 0.003) and apoB (p = 0.001). Compared with SP27 (insertion) homozygotes of the APOB polymorphism, women SP24 (deletion) homozygotes had higher levels of total (p = 0.003) and LDL cholesterol (p = 0.007) and apoB (p = 0.05). No significant effect was seen in the men. Women homozygous for the APOC3 -482T allele had higher insulin levels than -482C homozygotes (p = 0.03). Men homozygous for APOC3 -482T allele have the highest plasma triglyceride level (p = 0.02). The APOC1 polymorphism exhibited no significant effect on any of the parameters studied. CONCLUSIONS In this sample, variation at the APOE, APOB and APOC3 genes play a role in determining plasma levels of insulin and lipids, and emphasize the importance of gender-associated effects in the genetic determinations.

Abstract
Several environmental and genetic factors are associated with high levels of cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia is the main phenotype of Familial Defective Apolipoprotein B and Familial Hypercholesterolemia that are caused by mutations at the apolipoprotein (apo) B and LDL receptor genes, respectively. Identification of the specific genetic alteration associated with hypercholesterolemia is an important issue in clinical diagnosis of high risk for CAD. Apo B gene mutations and polymorphisms are usually screened by SSCP, DGGE, and heteroduplex, which must be confirmed by DNA sequencing or by direct detection using PCR techniques. In this study, we have optimized a PCR-RFLP procedure for identification of 3500Q and 3531 mutations and MspI polymorphism at the apo B gene. The technique can be performed in a single reaction, using the restriction endonuclease MspI for simultaneous detection of 3500Q mutation and MspI polymorphism, and NsiI for detection of 3531 mutation. The procedure was validated by analysis of control DNA samples from individuals carrying these mutations. Screening of 186 Brazilian hypercholesterolemic individuals showed that the frequency of the M-allele (7.8%) of MspI polymorphism was similar to that found in other individuals with CAD. However, neither 3500Q nor 3531 mutations were detected in this group. In conclusion, this procedure is simple and rapid, being easily introduced in clinical laboratories for direct detection of the more frequent mutations at the apo B gene associated with hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphisms at the apolipoprotein B (apo B) have been associated with elevated plasma concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, atherosclerosis and increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present study, four apo B gene polymorphisms (MspI, XbaI, Ins/Del and 3'HVR) have been investigated to determine their frequencies and influence on the lipid profile of 177 hypercholesterolemic white Brazilian subjects (HG) and 100 control individuals (CG). The genotype distribution and allele frequency of MspI, XbaI and Ins/Del polymorphisms of apo B gene were similar between HG and CG groups. The frequency of the alleles smaller than 43 repeats (< or =43) of 3'HVR polymorphism in the HG group was higher when compared to controls (16.4 vs. 8.5%, P<0.05). Moreover, these alleles were associated with higher total cholesterol concentrations in serum of hypercholesterolemic individuals (P<0.05). In addition, an association between Ins/Del and 3'HVR polymorphism was observed. The alleles < or =43 and Del were more frequent in the HG when compared to the CG individuals (P<0.05). We concluded that 3'HVR polymorphism at the apo B gene may be an important genetic marker to evaluate atherosclerotic disease risk.

Abstract
To evaluate whether polymorphisms in genes whose products are involved in lipid metabolism and fibrinolysis alter the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), allele frequencies of four genetic polymorphisms were ascertained by PCR-based methods in 175 Czech male patients with coronary artery disease and in 222 Czech men with no symptoms of CAD. The following polymorphisms were studied: apolipoprotein B (apo B) signal peptide insertion/deletion polymorphism, 5' apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] TTTTA repeat polymorphism, apolipoprotein E (apo E) varepsilon2, varepsilon3, varepsilon4 polymorphism, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G promoter polymorphism. Apo B and apo(a) allele frequencies differed significantly between the CAD and the control groups (P<0.01 each), with higher frequencies of apo B deletion and apo(a) shorter repeat alleles in the CAD group. We did not observe any differences in allele frequencies of either PAI-1 or apo E polymorphisms but the genotype frequencies of apo E were slightly different between the two groups (P<0.05). In addition, we observed a gene-gene interaction between the PAI-1 and apo(a) polymorphisms with respect to the risk of CAD. None of the polymorphisms studied were associated with the severity of CAD or a history of myocardial infarction. Our findings support the idea that several polymorphisms in apolipoprotein genes may by themselves and/or in interaction with other polymorphisms contribute to risk factors for CAD in men.
