Background: Previous analysis clustered 1,238 individuals from the
general population Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs Network (GOLDN) study by the size
of their fasting very low-density, low-density and high-density lipoproteins (VLDL,
LDL, HDL) using latent class analysis. From two of the eight identified groups (N =
251), ~75% of ... read moreindividuals met Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for the metabolic
syndrome (MetS). Both showed small LDL diameter (mean = 19.9 nm); however, group 1 (N
= 200) had medium VLDL diameter (mean = 53.1 nm) while group 2 had very large VLDL
diameter (mean = 65.74 nm). Group 2 additionally showed significantly more insulin
resistance (IR), and accompanying higher waist circumference and fasting glucose and
triglycerides (all P < .01). Since lipoprotein lipase hydrolyzes triglyceride in
the VLDL-LDL cascade, we examined whether these two patterns of lipoprotein diameter
were associated with differences across two lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene variants:
D9N (rs1801177) and S447X (rs328).
Keywords: GOLDN, lipoprotein, lipoprotein lipase, Metabolic
