Polymorphisms of the lipoprotein lipase gene as genetic markers for stroke in colombian population: a case control study
Objective: To analyze if there is an association between the presence of polymorphisms in the LPL gene (rs320, rs285 and rs328) with development of acute ischemic stroke in Colombian population. Methods: In a case control design, 133 acute ischemic stroke patients (clinical diagnosis and x-ray CT) a...

Summary: | Objective: To analyze if there is an association between the presence
of polymorphisms in the LPL gene (rs320, rs285 and rs328) with
development of acute ischemic stroke in Colombian population. Methods:
In a case control design, 133 acute ischemic stroke patients (clinical
diagnosis and x-ray CT) and 269 subjects without stroke as controls
were studied. PCR -RFLP technique was used to detect rs320, rs285 and
rs328 polymorphisms in the LPL gene. Results: In the present research
was not found any association between any of the LPL gene polymorphism
and acute ischemic stroke in the population studied; the allele and
genotypic frequencies of the studied polymorphisms were similar in
cases and controls and followed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The
study was approved by the IRB and each subject signed the informed
consent. Conclusion: LPL gene polymorphisms are not genetic markers for
the development of stroke in the Colombian sample used.
Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre los polimorfismos en el
gen LPL (rs320, rs285 y rs328), y la enfermedad cerebrovascular
isquémica aguda en una muestra de población colombiana.
Métodos: A partir de un diseño de casos y controles, se
estudiaron 133 casos con enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica
aguda (diagnóstico clínico y TAC), y 269 controles sin
enfermedad cerebrovascular. Se examinó los polimorfismos rs320,
rs285 y rs328 en el gen LPL con la técnica PCR-RFLP. Resultados:
En el presente estudio no se encontró asociación entre rs320,
rs285 y rs328 con la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica aguda en
la muestra analizada; siendo las frecuencias alélicas y
genotípicas de los polimorfismos similares entre casos y
controles, y se encontró en equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg. El
estudio fue avalado por el comité de ética de las
instituciones vinculadas y todos los pacientes dieron consentimiento
informado. Conclusión: Los polimorfismos en el gen de la LPL no
tienen utilidad como marcadores genéticos asociados con la
presentación de la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica aguda
en la muestra analizada. |
