Fifteen polymorphisms in six lipid transport genes were studied in a German population for relationships with dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease (CAD), to investigate a possible genetic basis for the marked differences in mortality rates from coronary heart disease within Europe. In other populations these polymorphisms have all been associated with CAD or with phenotypes known to predispose to CAD. The apoAI PstI polymorphism (P<0.005) and the lipoprotein lipase Ser(447)-Ter mutation (P<0.005) were associated with plasma triglyceride concentrations. Additionally, the apoAI PstI polymorphism (P<0.05), the apoB XbaI polymorphism (P<0.05) and apoE phenotypes (P<0.05) were associated with plasma cholesterol concentrations. However, none of the allele frequencies of the polymorphisms studied were related to the presence, or absence, of coronary artery disease. Associations between five polymorphisms representing four lipid transport gene loci and dyslipidemia were demonstrated in this German population. It is possible that predisposition to dyslipidemia in Germany involves a particular selection of polymorphic loci, which are different from those identified in other European countries.
