Abstract
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a pathological condition caused by genetic factors alone or in combination with environmental factors, sometimes leading to acute pancreatitis (AP). In this study, exome sequencing and biochemical analyses were performed in 4 patients with hypertriglyceridemia complicated by obesity or diabetes with a history of AP or decreased post-heparin LPL mass. In a patient with a history of AP, SNP rs199953320 resulting in LMF1 nonsense mutation and APOE rs7412 causing apolipoprotein E2 were both found in heterozygous form. Three patients were homozygous for APOA5 rs2075291, and one was heterozygous. ELISA and Western blot analysis of the serum revealed the existence of apolipoprotein A-V in the lipoprotein-free fraction regardless of the presence or absence of rs2075291; furthermore, the molecular weight of apolipoprotein A-V was different depending on the class of lipoprotein or lipoprotein-free fraction. Lipidomics analysis showed increased serum levels of sphingomyelin and many classes of glycerophospholipid; however, when individual patients were compared, the degree of increase in each class of phospholipid among cases did not coincide with the increases seen in total cholesterol and triglycerides. Moreover, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylinositol, and sphingomyelin levels tended to be higher in patients who experienced AP than those who did not, suggesting that these phospholipids may contribute to the onset of AP. In summary, this study revealed a new disease-causing gene mutation in LMF1, confirmed an association between overlapping of multiple gene mutations and severe hypertriglyceridemia, and suggested that some classes of phospholipid may be involved in the pathogenesis of AP.

Gene-environment interaction between APOA5 c.553G>T and pregnancy in hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis. J Clin Lipidol 2020; 14:498-506. [PMID: 32561169 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2020.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Revised: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and, consequently, HTG-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP), is complex. OBJECTIVE Herein, we explore a possible gene-environment interaction between APOA5 c.553G>T (p.185Gly>Cys, rs2075291), a common variant associated with altered triglyceride levels, and pregnancy in HTG-AP. METHODS We enrolled 318 Chinese HTG-AP patients and divided them into 3 distinct groups: Group 1, male patients (n = 183); Group 2, female patients whose disease was unrelated to pregnancy (n = 105); and Group 3, female patients whose disease was related to pregnancy (n = 30). APOA5 rs2075291 genotype status was determined by Sanger sequencing. A total of 362 healthy Han Chinese subjects were used as controls. Data on body mass index, peak triglyceride level, age of disease onset, episode number, and clinical severity of HTG-AP were collected from each patient. Multiple comparisons, between patient groups, between patient groups and controls, or within each patient group, were performed. RESULTS A robust association of APOA5 rs2075291 with HTG-AP in general, and HTG-AP during pregnancy in particular, was demonstrated. The minor T allele showed a stronger association with Group 3 patients than with either Group 1 or Group 2 patients. This stronger association was due mainly to the much higher frequency of TT genotype in Group 3 patients (20%) than that (<6%) in Group 1 and Group 2 patients. Moreover, the TT genotype was associated with a significantly higher peak triglyceride level in Group 3 patients compared with the GG genotype. CONCLUSION Our findings provide evidence for an interaction between APOA5 rs2075291 and pregnancy in HTG-AP.

Abstract
Aim: Hypertriglyceridemia is a type of dyslipidemia that contributes to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Variants in lipoprotein lipase (LPL), apolipoprotein CII (APOC2), apolipoprotein AV (APOA5), glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1), lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1), and glucokinase regulator (GCKR) are responsible for hypertriglyceridemia. We investigated the molecular basis of severe hypertriglyceridemia in adult patients referred to the Clinical Laboratory at Fukuoka University Hospital. Methods: Twenty-three adult patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (> 1,000 mg/dL, 11.29 mmol/L) were selected. The coding regions of candidate genes were sequenced by next-generation sequencing. Forty-nine genes reportedly associated with hypertriglyceridemia were analyzed. Results: In the 23 patients, we detected 70 variants: 28 rare and 42 common ones. Among the 28 rare variants with < 1% allele frequency, p.I4533L in APOB, p.M490I in MLXIPL, p.L152M in NCAN, and p.S264T in TIMD4 were novel. We did not observe single gene homozygous or compound heterozygous disease-causing rare variants in any of the 23 hypertriglyceridemia cases. However, in silico algorithms and previous reports indicated that five rare variants, APOA5 (p.T184S), GCKR (c.354 + 1G>A), LMF1 (p.G410R), and LRP1 (p.G813R; p.R2173Q), and seven common variants, APOA5 (pG185C), APOE (p.C130R; p.E262K/p.E263K), GCKR (p.V103M), GPIHBP1 (p.C14F), LRP1 (p.Y4054F), and MLXIPL (p.Q241H), can cause hypertriglyceridemia. However, all five disease-causing rare variants detected in this study were heterozygous. Conclusions: The prevalence of disease-causing rare variants in candidate genes in severe hypertriglyceridemia patients was low. The major causes of severe hypertriglyceridemia were not single gene abnormalities, but involved multiple gene variations and environmental factors.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5 or APO A-V) polymorphisms have long been reported to be associated with cardiovascular disease and plasma lipid levels. The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the rs662799, rs3135507, and rs2075291 with biochemical parameters in the Turkish Cypriot population. A total of 100 Turkish Cypriot volunteer subjects (53 female and 47 male), with a mean age of 40.8, participated in the study. A basic biochemical analysis, including serum glucose, total serum cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides, was performed for each participant. Genotyping for the APOA5 three polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Biochemical parameters except the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were all within the normal limits. LDL-C was found to be slightly elevated in participants according to WHO guidelines. With respect to the genotype and allele distributions of APOA5 rs662799 T>C polymorphism, TT genotypes are more frequent (62%) in the population and the frequency of T allele is 0.78. The TT genotype for APOA5 rs2075291 G<T was not observed in the study population. Ancestral GG is the only genotype present in the study population. Minor Allele Frequency of APOA5 rs3135507 G>A variant is 0.12 for the A allele. No association between the two studied APOA5 polymorphisms (rs662799 and rs3135507) and the biochemical components of glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride were observed. On the other hand, a strong statistical association between the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) clinical parameters and APOA5 rs662799 CC and rs3135507 AA genotypes was found (p = 0.014 and p = 0.017, respectively). APOA5 polymorphisms rs662799 and rs3135507, with the CC and the AA genotypes, respectively, are associated with increased levels of both high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the Turkish Cypriot population.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia is recognized as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. The apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) is a key regulator of triglyceride levels. We aimed to evaluate the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in APOA5, including -1131T>C and c.553G>T, with hypertriglyceridemia, apoA5 concentrations, atherogenic LDL cholesterol levels, and arterial stiffness in hypertriglyceridemic patients. The study population included 599 hypertriglyceridemic patients (case) and 1,549 untreated normotriglyceridemic subjects (control). We genotyped two APOA5 variants, -1131T>C (rs662799) and c.553G>T (rs2075291). The frequencies of the CC genotype of -1131T>C (0.165) and the T allele of c.553G>T (0.119) were significantly higher in hypertriglyceridemic patients than in normotriglyceridemic subjects (0.061 and 0.070, respectively; all p<0.001). In the control and case groups, both the -1131T>C and c.553G>T variants were associated with higher triglyceride and lower HDL cholesterol levels. Controls with the -1131CC variant had lower apoA5 concentrations than controls with the -1131TT variant. Similar effects of the -1131T>C variant on apoA5 were observed in the cases. In the hypertriglyceridemic group, the -1131T>C variant was associated with a smaller LDL particle size, higher levels of oxidized LDL and malondialdehyde, and higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. The -1131T>C and c.553G>T polymorphisms were associated with hypertriglyceridemia in the study population, but only the -1131T>C polymorphism directly affected apoA5 concentrations. Hypertriglyceridemic patients carrying the APOA5 -1131T>C polymorphism exhibited increased atherogenic LDL levels and arterial stiffness, probably due to an effect of the -1131T>C polymorphism on apoA5 concentrations.

Abstract
AIM To explore the association of the APOA5 gene c.553G>T polymorphism with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) susceptibility and altered triglyceride levels. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Google Scholar, and CNKI databases for published studies relating to analyses of these associations. Case-control and comparative studies of the association between the APOA5 c.553G>T variant and altered triglyceride levels were included. In total, the meta-analysis involved 10 studies on HTG, which provided 2219 cases and 3401 controls. To measure the correlation between the c.553G>T polymorphism and HTG susceptibility, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The overall OR was calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS Compared with APOA5 c.553 GG carriers, c.553T carriers displayed an increased risk of HTG in the Asian population, with an overall random effects OR of 3.55 (95% CI: 2.46-5.13) in the dominant model. There was significant heterogeneity among the studies (Pheterogeneity: Chi2 = 45.80, I2 = 75.98%), which may be largely explained by certain patient types. Both the sensitivity analysis and publication bias suggested that the overall result was acceptable. Subgroup analysis showed a large difference in serum triglyceride levels based on the c.553 G > T polymorphism in healthy individuals and HTG patients. APOA5 c.553T carriers exhibit higher triglyceride levels than GG carriers. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that APOA5 c. 553T is an independent risk factor for HTG and increased triglyceride levels in the Asian population. APOA5 c. 553T could be employed as a genetic risk marker for HTG and increased triglyceride levels.

Abstract
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a well-known cause of pancreatitis. Usually, there is a moderate increase in plasma triglyceride level during pregnancy. Additionally, certain pre-existing genetic traits may render a pregnant woman susceptible to development of severe hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis, especially in the third trimester. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of gestational hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis, we undertook DNA mutation analysis of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL), apolipoprotein C2 (APOC2), apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5), lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1), and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) genes in five unrelated pregnant Chinese women with severe hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis. DNA sequencing showed that three out of five patients had the same homozygous variation, p.G185C, in APOA5 gene. One patient had a compound heterozygous mutation, p.A98T and p.L279V, in LPL gene. Another patient had a compound heterozygous mutation, p.A98T & p.C14F in LPL and GPIHBP1 gene, respectively. No mutations were seen in APOC2 or LMF1 genes. All patients were diagnosed with partial LPL deficiency in non-pregnant state. As revealed in our study, genetic variants appear to play an important role in the development of severe gestational hypertriglyceridemia, and, p.G185C mutation in APOA5 gene appears to be the most common variant implicated in the Chinese population. Antenatal screening for mutations in susceptible women, combined with subsequent interventions may be invaluable in the prevention of potentially life threatening gestational hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis.

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
OBJECTIVE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene are associated with triglyceride (TG) levels. However, the minor allele frequencies and linkage disequilibriums (LDs) of the SNPs in addition to their effects on TG levels vary greatly between Caucasians and East Asians. The distributions of the SNPs/haplotypes and their associations with TG levels in Uyghur population, an admixture population of Caucasians and East Asians, have not been reported to date. Here, we performed a cross-sectional study to address these. METHODS Genotyping of four SNPs in APOA5 (rs662799, rs3135506, rs2075291, and rs2266788) was performed in 1174 unrelated Uyghur subjects. SNP/haplotype and TG association analyses were conducted. RESULTS The frequencies of the SNPs in Uyghurs were in between those in Caucasians and East Asians. The LD between rs662799 and rs2266788 in Uyghurs was stronger than that in East Asians but weaker than that in Caucasians, and the four SNPs resulted in four haplotypes (TGGT, CGGC, TCGT, and CGTT arranged in the order of rs662799, rs3135506, rs2075291, and rs2266788) representing 99.2% of the population. All the four SNPs were significantly associated with TG levels. Compared with non-carriers, carriers of rs662799-C, rs3135506-C, rs2075291-T, and rs2266788-C alleles had 16.0%, 15.1%, 17.1%, and 12.4% higher TG levels, respectively. When haplotype TGGT was defined as the reference, the haplotypes CGGC, TCGT, and CGTT resulted in 16.1%, 19.0%, and 19.8% higher TG levels, respectively. The proportions of variance in TG explained by APOA5 locus were 2.5%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 1.9% for single SNP rs662799, rs3135506, rs2075291, and rs2266788, respectively, and 3.0% for the haplotypes constructed by them. CONCLUSIONS The association profiles between the SNPs and haplotypes at APOA5 locus and TG levels in this admixture population differed from those in Caucasians and East Asians. The functions of these SNPs and haplotypes need to be elucidated comprehensively.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein gene polymorphism has an important role in lipid metabolism and in the development of cerebro- and cardio-vascular disease (CCVD), including dementia. Dyslipidemia and hemostatic abnormalities are key risk factors associated with athero-sclerotic events preceding CCVD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible relationships of various apolipoprotein-species with hemostatic parameters and cognitive function. Lipid profile, gene polymorphism, coagulation markers, and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores were assessed in 109 dys-lipidemic subjects and in 107 healthy control volunteers. Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) plasma levels were significantly higher in apolipoprotein-E2 (apoE2) patients when compared to other apoE forms. The apoA5 -1131T>C polymorphism was associated with elevated D-dimer concentration in dyslipidemic TT homozygous individuals. MMSE did not correlate with lipid or coagulation profile. These data suggest that apoE and apoA5 variants have an effect on hemostatic parameters, but they neither influence nor predict cognitive performance in non-demented individuals.

Abstract
Background Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) have pleiotropic effects on the levels of triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). APOA5 SNPs have also been associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Here, we constructed haplotypes with SNPs spanning APOA5 and ZNF259, which are approximately 1.3 kb apart, to perform association analyses with the risk for MS and the levels of TG and HDL-C in terms of a TG:HDL-C ratio. Methods The effects of three constructed haplotypes (TAA, CGG, and CGA, in the order of rs662799, rs651821, and rs6589566) on the TG:HDL-C ratio and MS were estimated using multiple regression analyses in 2,949 Koreans and in each gender separately (1,082 men and 1,867 women). Results The haplotypes, CGG and CGA, were associated with the TG:HDL-C ratio and the risk of MS development in both genders. That is, the minor alleles of the rs662799 and rs651821 in APOA5, irrespective of which allele was present at rs6589566, had the marked effects. Interestingly, a C–G–A haplotype at these three SNPs had the most marked effects on the TG:HDL-C ratio and the risk of MS development in women. Conclusions We have identified the novel APOA5-ZNF259 haplotype manifesting sex-dependent effects on elevation of the TG:HDL-C ratio as well as the increased risk for MS.

Abstract
AIMS This study aims to examine the possible associations between high density lipoprotein (HDL) subclass distribution and APOA5-1131T>C polymorphism in hypertriglyceridemia. METHODS The distribution of HDL subclasses was quantified by 2-dimensional electrophoresis in conjunction with immunodetection method. The APOA5-1131T>C polymorphism was identified in 95 hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) patients and 102 healthy subjects by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS The APOA5-1131C (C) allele frequency was higher in the HTG group than in the control group. Plasma triglycerides (TG) were significantly higher and apoA5 was significantly lower in patients with the C allele when compared to patients with the APOA5-1131T (T) allele, even more dramatically so in the APOA5-1131CC homozygote. In both the HTG group and the control group, the frequency of the C allele was positively correlated with levels of TG, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100), and negatively correlated with levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) and apolipoprotein A5 (apoA5) (P<0.001). In all subjects, the frequency of the C allele was positively correlated with the level of small-sized HDL (preβ(1)-HDL and HDL(3a)), and negatively correlated with levels of HDL(2a) and HDL(2b). CONCLUSION Changes in HDL subclass distributions in HTG may be related to the APOA5-1131T>C polymorphism. This polymorphism leads to a general shift towards smaller-sized HDL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) have been associated with higher triglyceride levels in many populations. The aim of the study was to determine the allelic and genotypic distribution of the APOA5 -1131T>C polymorphism and to identify the association of the genetic variant and the risk for dyslipidemia. METHODS We genotyped 109 dyslipidemic subjects and 107 controls. The total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL-c were determined enzymatically. Comparison of means among groups was calculated by ANOVA. Significant differences among groups were evaluated by Student-Newman-Keuls test. RESULTS The minor allele C was more frequent in dyslipidemic subjects than controls (p=0.019) and confers an increased individual risk for dyslipidemia (OR=1.726, CI 95%=1.095-2.721). The genotype analysis by gender showed that this allele was more frequent in dyslipidemic males (p=0.037; OR=2.050, CI 95%=1.042-4.023). When participants were analyzed according to genotypes TT and TC/CC, C-carriers presented higher cholesterol and triglycerides levels than TT homozygous (p=0.046 and 0.049, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The allele C confers higher total cholesterol and triglycerides levels in dyslipidemic adults. The APOA5 -1131T>C polymorphism is associated with dyslipidemia in male 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
BACKGROUND Many studies have focused on the association between the apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) polymorphism and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, these studies drew inconsistent conclusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exact association between the ApoA5 polymorphism and MetS in a large-scale meta-analysis. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Science Citation Index (ISI Web of Science) databases were searched to collect all publications on the association between the ApoA5 polymorphism and MetS. Two common variants of ApoA5 (namely -1131T>C in the promoter region and c.56C>G in the coding region) with the risk of MetS were analyzed. The overall odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for -1131T>C (CC+TC) versus TT genotype and c.C56G (GG+GC) versus CC were assessed between the MetS and control group. Subgroup analysis was further performed by ethnicity. The meta-analysis was performed by Stata11.0. RESULTS Twelve studies from 10 publications were chosen in our meta-analysis. The combined results showed that C allele carriers (CC+TC) of -1131T>C had a significantly higher risk of MetS for the overall (OR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.14-1.53; p=0.000) with moderate heterogeneity (I2=54.9%, p=0.014). Subgroup analysis was further performed according to ethnicity, and the association was still significant in Asians (OR=1.42; 95% CI: 1.25-1.62; p=0.000), but not in white populations (OR=1.25; 95% CI: 0.97-1.61; p=0.087). When analyzing the association between c.C56G and MetS, the G allele carrier (GG+GC) genotype significantly increased the risk of MetS (OR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.15-1.50; p=0.000) in white populations. No significant publication bias was observed in either -1131T>C or c.C56G. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that the ApoA5 -1131T>C polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of MetS in Asians, but not in white populations. However, the c.C56G polymorphism was significantly associated with MetS in white populations.

Abstract
Background. Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are clinically cardiovascular events associated with dyslipidemia in common. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in the APOA1/C3/A5 gene cluster are associated with diabetes and familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCH). Little is known about whether the polymorphisms in these genes affect lipid homeostasis in patients with ACSs. The present paper aimed to examine these associations with 4 SNPs in the APOA1 −75G > A, the APOC3 −455T > C, and APOA5 −1131T > C, c.553G > T variant to ACSs in Chinese Han. Methods. Chinese Han of 229 patients with ACSs and 254 unrelated controls were analyzed. Four SNPs in APOA1/C3/A5 cluster were genotyped and lipid was determined. Results. Our data show that minor allelic frequencies of APOC3 −455T > C, APOA5 −1131T > C, and c.553G > T polymorphisms in patients with ACSs were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the 3 polymorphic sites were strongly of linkage disequilibrium, and minor alleles of 3 SNP sites had higher TG level than wild alleles (P < 0.05), APOC3 −455C and APOA5 c.553T allele carriers also had lower level of HDL-C.
Conclusions. The minor alleles of APOC3 −455T > C, APOA5 −1131T > C, and c.553G > T polymorphisms are closely associated with ACSs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) over-expression enhances lipolysis of triglyceride (TG) through stimulation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity; however, an APOA5 G185C variant was found associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of this study was, therefore, to explore the importance of APOA5 185GG in the activation of LPL. METHODS A fragment containing mature human APOA5 cDNA was obtained by RT-PCR and subcloned into pET-15b vector. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed to generate 19 variants. Recombinant human APOA5 wild type and variants were produced in Escherichia coli, and then activation of LPL was measured. RESULTS Activity of APOA5 variants on LPL-mediated 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine hydrolysis was reduced by 17 to 74% in comparison to wild type APOA5 (P<0.0001). All variants also showed reduced activation (P<0.0001) of LPL-mediated hydrolysis of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); activation abilities of APOA5 variants ranged from 31 to 81% of wild-type APOA5. CONCLUSIONS APOA5 residue 185G is very important in LPL-mediated VLDL hydrolysis, and any mutation at this residue will decrease LPL activation and concomitant TG modulation.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) play important roles in the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides. The aim of this study was to determine the allelic and genotypic distributions of the APOA5-1131T>C (rs 662799) and the APOE HhaI polymorphisms and to identify the association of both individual and combined APOA5-APOE genetic variants and the risk for dyslipidemia in children and adolescents. We genotyped 53 dyslipidemic and 77 normolipidemic individuals. The total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol were determined enzymatically. For APOA5 polymorphism, the presence of the allele C confers an individual risk for dyslipidemia (OR = 2.38, 95% CI = 1.15-4.89; P = 0.018). No significant differences were observed for lipid parameters among the APOA5 groups, except for a higher value of HDLc (P = 0.024) in C-carriers. The allelic and genotypic frequencies of APOE polymorphism were similar between groups and did not increase the susceptibility for dyslipidemia. None of the combined APOA5-APOE polymorphisms increased risk for dyslipidemia. We demonstrated an association between APOA5-1131T>C polymorphism and dyslipidemia in children and adolescents. This finding may be useful to guide new studies with genetic markers down a path toward a better characterization of the genetic risk factors for dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic diseases.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-V (apo A-V) exerts a potent triglyceride (TG)-lowering effect through enhanced intravascular TG-hydrolysis with increased uptake of TG-derived free fatty acids into muscle and adipose tissue. Genetic variants in the APOA5 gene were strongly associated with plasma TG concentrations. The aim of this study was to examine whether APOA5 genetic variation was associated with obesity. We genotyped the missense c.553 G>T polymorphism (p.G185C) in the APOA5 gene in 1,085 Chinese (333 obese subjects and 752 nonobese controls). We analyzed the association between the c.553 G>T polymorphism and obesity and related metabolic phenotypes. The T allele at the c.553 G>T polymorphism was associated with higher plasma TG concentrations. Each additional T allele was associated with an increased TG concentration of 53.5 mg/dl (95% confidence interval (CI) 29.6-76.0, P < 0.0001). However, the T allele was associated lower risk of obesity (odds ratio (OR), 0.48; 95% CI 0.32-0.73, P = 0.0004). Each additional copy of the T allele was associated with a BMI decrease of 0.73 kg/m(2) (95% CI 0.26-1.16, P = 0.002), equivalent to 2.11 kg in a person 1.7 m tall. We may then conclude that the TG-raising APOA5 genetic variant was associated with a decrease in BMI and reduced risk of obesity in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Common polymorphism of the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5, c.553G>T) related to metabolic syndrome components, insulin resistance, and carotid atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the associations of the APOA5 c.553G>T gene with various metabolic syndrome components and carotid artery atherosclerosis among family members. A total of 661 participants who provided complete genotyping and carotid artery measures were included in this study. Participants with APOA5 c.553T carrier (GT and TT) were more likely to have higher levels of triglycerides and apolipoprotein B, as well as lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, than participants with the GG genotype. Individuals who carried T alleles had an increased risk of a high level of triglycerides (multivariate odds ratio [OR], 3.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.98-7.55; P<0.0001) and low levels of HDL cholesterol (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.40-3.86; P=0.0012) compared with those without T alleles. The age was an effect modifier for the association between APOA5 genotype and smoking, alcohol drinking, obesity, and lipid profiles, including total, HDL, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol; triglycerides; and apolipoproteins. In addition, the association between APOA5 genotype and hypertriglyceridemia was significant only in adult groups (OR, 3.53; 95% CI, 1.79-6.94), and the association between APOA5 genotype and low HDL cholesterol was stable in young adolescents (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.19-4.78) and adults (OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.17-4.15). Our findings indicated that the APOA5 c.553G>T polymorphism is associated with high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol but not with other metabolic syndrome components or carotid atherosclerosis in this ethnic Chinese population.

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
BACKGROUND Polymorphism of apolipoprotein A1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster affected lipid profiles in general population. We reported 6 polymorphisms, APOA1 -75G>A, APOA1 83C>T, APOC3 3175C>G, APOC3 3206G>T, APOA4 127A>G, and APOA5 553G>T in APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene and the haplotype structures on triglyceride and HDL traits among ethnic Chinese. RESULTS Overall, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of APOA1 -75G>A and APOA5 +553G>T genotypes comparing cases with control subjects. For the APOA1 -75 SNP, a lower risk of triglyceride/HDL among subjects with A/A genotype compared with those with the G/G genotype (odds ratio, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.16-0.92, P=0.04). However, the risk magnitude reduced after multivariate adjustments. For continuous traits, we found that only in APOA5 +553 T allele carriers showed a significant higher triglyceride and a significant lower HDL cholesterol level than subjects with APOA5 +553 G/G genotypes. There were significant differences in overall haplotype frequencies between case and control subjects (P<0.001). CONCLUSION There is an important role of APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes in the development of high triglyceride/HDL ratio in Chinese.
