“…Bohn and Berg (17) cited significant positive associations between CAD and the Xallele and/or the X-X-genotype in five studies (6-10), and reported that this association was not observed in seven other studies (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). The X-X-genotype was more frequent in Brazilian women with CAD than in control women (25). Studies on Caucasians from Europe (26) and on Chinese subjects (27) did not detect significant associations between XbaI variability and CAD.…”

“…Most research has concentrated on the involvement of LDLR defects in FH but, more recently, the analysis of LDLR polymorphisms has been applied to the study of obesity, atherosclerosis and HIV infection. 11,12,29,30 The data reported here provides evidence for an involvement of LDLR polymorphism in the pathogenesis and/or progression of hepatitis C. Within the LDLR gene there are abundant polymorphisms, which have been well characterized and studied intensively (details found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/fh). For the present study we selected nine SNPs as shown in Figure 1, based on likely functionality and reported prevalence.…”

“…8,9 It has been firmly established that mutations and polymorphisms in the LDLR gene are associated with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), obesity and atherosclerosis. [10][11][12] FH is an autosomal dominant inherited condition charac-terized by raised levels of LDL-cholesterol leading to increased risk of coronary heart disease. Changes in lipid metabolism during the acute phase response in the liver due to infection and inflammation also suggest the involvement of the lipoprotein system in innate immune responses.…”

“…É finalidade deste trabalho descrever os principais resultados de investigações relacionadas a alterações gené-ticas e colesterolemia em indivíduos acompanhados há lon-mia total ( CT) e LDL-c se mostraram mais elevados em mulheres com o genótipo X-X-; 2) Salazar e col 24,25 observaram freqüência maior do alelo Del (polimorfismo Ins/Del) em 94 mulheres sadias, de 39 a 68 anos, obesas (índice de massa corpórea ≥ 30), acompanhando níveis mais elevados de CT e LDL-c; 3) Salazar e col 26 estudaram 50 mulheres, de 48 ± 9 anos, com DAC comprovada por estudo angiográfico, em comparação a 100 mulheres, de 50 ± 6 anos, sem evidências clínicas de coronariopatia. As primeiras, além de apresentarem maiores níveis plasmáticos de CT, trigliceridemia (TG) e LDL-c, tiveram maior freqüência do genótipo X-X-(42% x 12%).…”
