Y1 - 2019 N1 - 10.1036/ommbid.146 T2 - The Online Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease AB - Newly identified loci that influence plasma lipid concentrations include markers in and around the genes encoding lipoprotein lipase (LIPD), hepatic lipase (LIPC), and endothelial lipase (LIPG). These studies involved genome-wide scans of associations with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and triglyceride levels in population samples totaling more than 20,000 individuals.1,2 Highly significant associations with HDLC were observed, with markers at 11 loci related to lipid metabolism. These polymorphisms were tested subsequently for association with the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). In summary, markers at the CETP, LIPD, LIPC, and LIPG, LCAT, GALNT2, and ABCA1 loci were observed to be associated with HDLC levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on HDLC levels ranged from approximately 1–4 mg/dl per allele. Markers at or near the LDLR, APOB, NCAN, SORT1, and APOE loci were associated with LDLC levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on LDLC levels ranged from approximately 2–9 mg/dl per allele. Markers at or near the LPL, LIPD, APOA1-APOC3-APOA4-APOA5, NCAN, GCKR, ANGPTL3, TRIB1, CILP2, and GALNT2 loci were associated with triglyceride levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on triglyceride levels ranged from approximately 1–26 mg/dl per allele. Multiple regression models indicated that only about 5–8 percent of the variation in the preceding three lipid parameters was accounted for by the associated alleles. Therefore, much of the heritability of these traits remains unknown. Uncommon alleles with relatively high impact and more common alleles with very low impact may be other contributing gene variants. Epigenetic variation also may have an impact on common variations in phenotype.
