The Relation between Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors and Genetic Variations of Apolipoprotein V in Relation with Serum Triglyceride and HDL-C Level.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multi-factorial disorder with five important components. A high triglyceride level combined with low HDL cholesterol has been reported to be associated with Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene variations. In this study, we aimed to determine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms including: rs662799, rs3135506 and rs2075291 in the apolipoprotein A-V (APOA5) gene...
