title: [Association of CETP gene I405V/D442G polymorphisms with cerebral hemorrhage and serum lipid profile in ethnic Han population from Changsha].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the association between I405V and D442G polymorphisms of the CETP gene with cerebral hemorrhage (CH) and a related lipid profile among ethnic Han Chinese from Changsha.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case-control study was carried out, which enrolled 170 cerebral hemorrhage patients and 191 ethnicity-, age- and sex-matched health controls. Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the polymorphisms. Lipid profile was determined by means of oxidase method. Statistic analyses were performed with SPSS 16.0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No significant difference was found in the CETP gene I405V and D442G genotypes and allelic distribution between the CH patients and controls (P>0.05). There was no association between CETP gene I405V polymorphism and lipid profile in both groups (P>0.05). CH patients with DG genotype of the D442G polymorphism had higher TC and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels than those with a DD genotype(P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CETP gene I405V polymorphism may not be associated with CH among ethnic Han Chinese from Changsha, while the D442G polymorphism of the CETP gene may be associated with TC and LDL levels in the same population.
