“…One author discovered a novel variation in the ABCA1 gene, exon 14, in individuals with low HDL-C [ 27 ]. In addition, previous studies have reported a correlation between ABCA1 polymorphisms and the onset of diabetes and its complications [ 23 , 28 , 29 ]. Wang et al demonstrated a significant association of variant I883M in genetic models (AA vs. GG = p -value 0.010 and recessive p -value 0.011) with coronary heart disease [ 30 ].…”

Genetic insights help us to investigate disease pathogenesis and risk. The ABCA1 protein encoded by ABCA1 is involved in transporting cholesterol across the cell membrane. Genetic variations in the ABCA1 gene are well documented; however, their role in the development of diabetic dyslipidemia still needs to be explored. This study aimed to identify the associations of rs757194699 (K1587Q) and rs2066714 (I883M) with dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes and performed molecular simulations. In our case–control study, 330 individuals were divided equally into a diabetic dyslipidemia cases and a healthy controls. Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism were performed to screen selected variants of the ABCA1 gene. Sanger sequencing was also performed to find genetic mutations in exon 5 of the ABCA1 gene. The C allele of rs757194699 was observed at a high frequency in cases compared to controls and followed the overdominant genetic model (p < 0.0001, OR:3.84; CI:1.67–8.82). The frequency of G allele of rs2066714 was significantly higher in cases compared to controls and followed the genetic model of codominant (p< 0.0001, OR: 39.61; CI:9.97–157.32), dominant (p < 0.0001,OR:59.59; CI:15.19–233.81), overdominant (p< 0.0001, OR:9.75; CI:3.16–30.11), and log-additive (p< 0.0001, OR:42.15; CI:11.08–160.40). In silico modeling and docking revealed that rs2066714 and rs757194699 produced deleterious conformational changes in the ABCA1 protein, resulting in alterations in the binding of the apoA1 protein. There were no genetic variations found in exon-5 in Sanger sequencing. The G allele of rs2066714 and C allele of rs757194699 in the ABCA1 gene were found to be risk alleles in the development of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes. These polymorphisms could alter the binding site of ABCA1 with apoA1 thus disturbs the reverse cholesterol transport.
