title: A novel haplotype in ApoAI-CIII-AIV gene region is detrimental to Northwest Indians with coronary heart disease.
abstract: The present study investigated the genetic variation of 3' flanking region of ApoA-I (PstI), 3' untranslated region of ApoC-III (SstI) and intron 2 of ApoA-IV (XbaI) in 193 angiographically diagnosed CHD patients and 150 CHD negative controls of Punjab, Northwest India. Haplotype analysis reveals that P2-S2-X1 is a susceptibility haplotype that confers the risk of CHD (OR 2.33, CI 1.08-4.38, P<0.05), which exacerbates (OR 2.61, CI 1.23-5.92, P<0.01) after adjustment with the confounders. This exacerbating effect of P2-S2-X1 may umpire significant higher levels of TG, LDL/HDL ratio and lower levels of HDL in CHD patients.
