Abstract
Abstract
Background
In this case–control study we investigated the relative contribution of commons APOA5 polymorphisms and haplotypes to the risk of metabolic syndrome in Moroccan patients.
Methods
Using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria for metabolic syndrome, the study included 176 patients and 105 controls. We genotyped APOA5 polymorphisms (−1131 T > C, c.56C > G, c.553G > T and c.1259 T > C) by PCR-RFLP analysis. The effects of APOA5 polymorphisms and constructed haplotypes on metabolic syndrome were estimated using logistic regression analyses.
Results
The statistical analysis showed a significant association between APOA5 -1131 T > C and APOA5 c.56C > G polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome in both Codominant and Dominant models. The APOA5 -1131 T > C polymorphism was associated with increased fasting glucose (p = 0.0295) and reduced HDL levels (p = 0.0091). Carriers of the APOA5 c.56G allele had increased triglyceride levels (p = 0.0435) and waist circumference (p = 0.0122). Similarly the APOA5 1259 T > C variant was associated with increased waist circumference (p = 0.0463). The haplotypes CCGT (OR = 3.223; p = 0.00278) and CGGT (OR = 8.234; p = 0.00534) were significantly associated with susceptibility to metabolic syndrome.
Conclusions
Our results confirms the association of APOA5 -1131 T > C and c.56C > G variants with the predisposition to metabolic syndrome complications.
