A novel apoA-I mutation (L178P) leads to endothelial dysfunction, increased arterial wall thickness, and premature coronary artery disease

Abstract: Heterozygosity for a novel apoA-I mutation underlies a detrimental lipoprotein profile that is associated with endothelial dysfunction, accelerated carotid arterial wall thickening, and severely enhanced CAD risk. Importantly, the extent of atherosclerosis in these subjects was similar to the burden of premature arterial wall abnormalities seen in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. These data illustrate the pivotal role in humans of apoA-I in the protection against CAD.

“…Subjects were considered a case if they were between 18 and 70 years of age and if they were heterozygous for the functional p.L202P mutation in APOA1 (c.C643T) ( 19 ) in our lipid clinic. Control subjects were unaffected and unrelated normolipidemic individuals recruited via advertisements.…”

“…atheroprotection or not. A life-long exposure to 30-60% reductions of HDL-C levels as a consequence of mutations in ABCA1 , APOAI , or LCAT has been reported to be associated with increased cIMT and CVD risk in several family studies (49,(158)(159)(160)(161)(162) but other investigators have not found this (163,164). The APOA1 Milano defect, leading to very low levels of HDL-C, has been associated with a normal cIMT in carriers (165).…”

“…Various studies have shown a strong correlation between IMT and cardiovascular risk factors [41][42][43] . Over the past decade, several large observational studies have demonstrated that baseline CIMT is an independent predictor of future clinical cardiovascular events [44][45][46][47][48][49][50] .…”
