- Abstract
- Background
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in the processing of triglycerides and plays a central role in
lipid metabolism. It has been reported that the polymorphisms in the LPL gene were associated with plasma concentra-tions
of HDL cholesterol (HDL) and triglycerides (TG) in coronary heart disease. We evaluated the correlation between
the LPL gene polymorphisms and blood lipids in ischemic stroke patients. M e t h o d s: Ninety-six ischemic stroke
patients and 88 controls were included in the study. We evaluated polymorphic sites in the LPL gene using the HindIII
for the intron 8 and PvuII for the intron 6 to the polymerase chain reaction products in each group. Allele frequencies,
polymorphism information contents (PIC), heterozygosity indices of HindIII and PvuII polymorphisms were calculated
in each group. Correlations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, TG, and LDL cholesterol levels in the serum with the
HindIII and PvuII polymorphisms of the LPL gene were analyzed in each group. Results: The H+ frequencies, 0.786
and 0.752, in the stroke and control groups respectively. The P+ frequencies were 0.623 and 0.710 in stroke and control
groups respectively. No significant difference was observed in triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that the HindIII and PvuII polymorphisms in LPL gene may not be associated
with the occurrence of ischemic stroke.
