Relationship of apolipoprotein E polymorphism with serum lipid and apolipoprotein in Buyi ethnic minority group in Guizhou province
Objective To investigate the distribution features of apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism and analyze the influence that apoE polymorphism on lipid metabolism. Methods By using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms(PCR-RFLPS)
blood samples of 201 subjects of Buyi ethnic group and 217 subjects of Han nationality in Qiannan
Guizhou Province were analyzed for apoE polymorphism. The relationship of allele frequencies and serum lipids was studied. Results The frequencies of apoE genotype ε2
ε3 and ε4 of allele frequencies were 6.71%
82.34%
and 10.95% respectively for Buyi ethnic group
and 9.22%
84.10% and 6.68% respectively for Han nationality(P0.05). Compared with other races and nationalities
ε2
ε3 and ε4 allele frequencies were at a medium level. In both Buyi and Han nationalities
apoE2 carriers (apoE2/2+E2/3+E2/4)
apoE3/3 homozygote and carriers with apoE4 (apoE3/4+E4/4) had higher serum levels of TC
LDL-C and apoB(P0.01). Conclusion There is a frequency difference in the apoE genotype and allele among different national/ethnic population. apoE polymorphism in Buyi ethnic minority is associated with the serum level of lipid
