Study of apolipoproteinc3 Sstl polymorphism in healthy volunteers from Northern India

Abstract: Several studies including a small case-control (hypertriglyceridemic / normotriglyceridemic individuals) study by us revealed close association between rare $2 allele of APOC3 Sstl polymorphism and hypertriglyceddemia. With the understanding that Asian Indians are highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of hypertdglyceridemia, we extended the investigation and studied the frequency distribution of this polymorphism in 216 healthy volunteers from Northern plains of India. We found that more than 50% of the stu… Show more

“…However, our patients showed no correlation between this variant and lipid levels, with an S2 allele frequency of 13.7%. This is similar to findings reported for Chinese (29%), Japanese (25%), Korean (24%) and Arab (37%) individuals and higher than in British (2%), Finn (8%), American (8%) and Dutch (9%) patients [33]. These results suggest that the prevalence of the SstI polymorphism has ethnic specificity.…”
