Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the influence of –250G>A (rs2070895)
polymorphism in hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) promoter on plasma
lipid parameters of ischemic stroke patients.
Methods: A total of 100 stroke patients and 100 control subjects
matched for sex (59 men and 41 women) and age were selected.
Hepatic lipase activity and lipid profiles were measured while
lipoprotein ratios were calculated. Genotyping of the –250G>A
promoter polymorphism of the LIPC was performed by the
polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length
polymorphism method combined with 2% gel electrophoresis and
then confirmed by direct sequencing. The LIPC promoter gene
sequencing data were compared with refseqNG011465.1 LIPC from
GenBank.
Results: The frequencies of GG, GA and AA genotypes of LIPC
rs2070895 polymorphism were 39%, 45% and 16% for the control,
10%, 37% and 53% for the stroke subjects (P<0.0001), respectively.
The frequencies of G and A alleles were 61.5% and 38.5% for the
control, and 28.5% and 71.5% for the stroke subjects (P<0.0001).
Our study shows that the mutant allele of the LIPC promoter was
associated with dyslipidemia, lower hepatic lipase activity, and
this variation contributed to the increased defective plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), HDL2-C and HDL3-C
concentration for both subjects. The control subjects had 6 single
nucleotide polymorphism and 6 amino acid substitutions while
the stroke subjects had 32 single nucleotide polymorphism and 20
amino acid substitutions.
Conclusions: LIPC –250G>A polymorphism can influence plasma
lipid profiles and lipoprotein ratios in patients with ischemic stroke.
