摘要: The rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids is 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). An A to C substitution 278 bp upstream promoter CYP7A1 gene was found be associated with variations serum lipid levels normolipidaemic populations. In present study, we investigated involvement this polymorphism four different disorders: hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG), combined hyperlipidaemia (CH), familial dysbetalipoproteinaemia (FD) and hypercholesterolaemia (FH). a male population, homozygous for apoE3 isoform, an association between AA genotype higher triglycerides (AA: + 34%, P=0.036). HTG patients, significantly concentrations total (+ 23%, P=0.005). There tendency towards increased 39%, P=0.06), VLDL-triglycerides 48%, P=0.053) VLDL-cholesterol 35%, P=0.059). No significant associations were patients CH, FD FH. Our results show that A-278C has effect on triglyceride males hypertriglyceridaemia. © 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.
