title: [Genetic polymorphism analysis of apolipoprotein CII microsatellite DNA (TG) n (AG) m in patients with coronary heart disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the relationship between the polymorphism of apolipoprotein CII (apoCII) microsatellite DNA (TG) n (AG) m and coronary heart disease (CHD).
  
  
  METHODS
  The apoCII microsatellite DNA (TG) n(AG)m genotypes of 108 patients with CHD and 231 healthy persons were detected by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and high voltage denatured polyacrylamid gels electrophoresis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The allele frequency distribution was significantly different between controls and patients with CHD (chi 2 = 19.93, P < 0.05). The allele 17 frequency in CHD group was remarkably higher than that in controls (chi 2 = 13.98, P < 0.01). The concentrations of TG and HDL-C among different genotype groups were significantly different. The levels of TG in 17/29 group and 17/30 group were higher than those in other groups (P < 0.05), while the concentration of HDL-C was lower (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The allele 17 of apoCII may be an independent risk factor for CHD in Han population.
