Haptoglobin Polymorphism in Korean Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract: We investigated the relation between hepatoglobin (Hp) polymorphism and plasma lipid levels in 913 Korean subjects. The distribution of Hp phenotypes did not show any significant differences between the healthy controls and the patients with cardiovascular disease. In the control group, however, the subgroup of ≧ 50-year-olds had a significantly higher Hp*l allele frequency than the subgroup < 50 years (p < 0.005). This was not seen in the patient group. Hp phenotypes were associated with levels of high-densit… Show more

“…et al investigated the relationship between Hp polymorphism and plasma lipid levels and found that the distribution of Hp phenotypes did not show any significant differences between the healthy controls and the patients with cardiovascular disease. But Hp phenotypes were associated with levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the hypertensive group [9]. Since that study, there have been several reports have demonstrated the role of cardiovascular events in pathogenicity of AMI.…”

“…An early study in 1997, examined Hp polymorphism in Korean patients with cardiovascular disease. The results indicated that Hp polymorphism, at least in the Korean population, does not predispose to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease [9] and Hp may Furthermore, a study with the aim of the relationship between Hp type and prevalence of coronary heart disease in a cross-sectional study from a large community-based cohort, the results showed interaction between Hp type and diabetes in the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) [16]. On the other hand study of Hp polymorphism in patients who suffered from diabetes and acute myocardial infarctions showed that this polymorphism was a predictor of 30-day mortality and heart failure [24].…”

“…Another possibility is that the effect of the Hp phenotype on the interindividual difference in the VO 2max index results from linkage disequilibrium between the Hp phenotype and another causative allele. Some studies have suggested linkage disequilibrium as a mechanism for the association between the Hp phenotype and serum lipid levels [38][39][40].…”
