Polymorphisms in the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha gene are associated with levels of apolipoprotein CIII and triglyceride in African-Americans but not Caucasians.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We tested whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PPARalpha gene (PPARA) are associated with variations in levels of plasma apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) levels, as well as other lipids and lipoproteins, in African-Americans and Caucasians. METHODS AND RESULTS: We initially identified an intronic SNP (rs4253728) in PPARA that was associated with plasma apoCIII level (p<0.05) in a subset...
