title: [Relationship of interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factors-beta and interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms with serum lipoprotein level in Chinese Han population in Guangdong Province].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the association of IL-1beta+3953, TNFbeta+252 and IL-10-592 polymorphisms with serum lipoprotein levels in Chinese Han population in Guangdong Province.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 428 individuals of Han nationality from Guangdong Province were enrolled in this study. The genotypes of IL-1beta+3953, TNFbeta+252 and IL-10-592 sites were detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), TG, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) were determined using an automatic biochemistry analyzer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The concentrations of TC and LDL in individuals of TNFbeta+252GA genotype was significantly higher than that in TNFbeta+252AA genotype (t=-2.406, P=0.017; t=-2.516, P=0.012). The concentration of LDL in IL-10+3953CT genotype was significantly higher than that in IL-10+3953CC genotype (2.743-/+0.723 vs 2.502-/+0.699 mmol/L, t=-2.639, P=0.009). No significant differences were found in TG, TC, HDL, LDL and VLDL between the 3 genotypes (P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The polymorphisms of proinflammatory cytokines are related to the serum lipoprotein level in these subjects. The T allele in IL-1beta+3953 and the G allele in TNFbeta+252 are positively correlated to dyslipidemia.
