SCARB1 gene polymorphisms and HDL subfractions in coronary artery disease.

Polymorphisms in the SCARB1 gene are known to be related to plasma lipids. Patients and Methods: Real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for identification of SCARB1 polymorphisms and the Lipoprint Quantimetrix System was employed in identification of HDL subfractions. Results: According to allelic distribution, in both groups SCARB1 AA genotype led to a two-fold decrease in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (p=0.04), while the GA genotype increased the risk two-fold (p=0.03). According to the HDL subfraction analysis results, the AA genotype had higher levels of big-sized HDL subfraction (p=0.02). Conclusion: The SCARB1AA genotype decreased cardiovascular risk and carrying GA genotype and G allele increased the risk of CAD. AA genotype carriers had higher levels of big-sized HDL subfraction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoronary Artery DiseaseHdl SubfractionsScarb1PolymorphismArticle31587387628882953WOS:0004143116000112-s2.0-85029522559Q410.21873/invivo.11141Q2
