title: [The association of HincII/low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with diabetes mellitus and its lipid phenotype with PCR gene amplification].
abstract: The association of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene HincII RFLP with diabetes mellitus and its lipid metabolism was studied in 196 Chinese with PCR gene amplification. 16 IDDM and 75 NIDDM were included. The most common genotype and allele frequencies of NIDDM were H2H2 (0.78) and H2 (0.89) respectively, and no significant differences were found in comparison with the normal control. The NIDDM with low LDL level (< 1.3 mmol/L) had less H2H2 type and H2 frequencies. Allele 1 (H1) was possibly related to the higher level of serum cholesterol, but allele 2 (H2) was quite the reverse. The phenotype of lipid metabolism was partially determined by the genotype. LDL, tc and tg level of NIDDM were significantly higher than the normal control (P < 0.001, 0.001, 0.05 respectively), indicating that NIDDM was accompanied by disturbance of lipid metabolism.
