Relationship between apolipoprotein B gene Xba Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ polymorphisms and cholelithiasis / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between the apolipoprotein B (ApoB) gene Xba Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Han and Mongolian population in the Midwest Area of Inner Mongolia.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with cholelithiasis and 115 healthy individuals at the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Baotou from April to October in 2010 were collected.A case-control study which detected ApoB alleles of patients with cholelithiasis (cholelithiasis group) and healthy individuals (control group) in Han nationality and Mongolian nationality in the Midwest Area of Inner Mongolia was conducted by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism,which included Xba Ⅰ (X + X +,X + X-,X-X-,X +,X-) and EcoR Ⅰ (E + E +,E-E-,E + E-,E +,E-).The serum lipid (including triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein) levels in different groups were detected.The count data and the measurement data were analyzed using the chi-square test and t test,respectively.Results Genotype X + X + was not found in the Han and Mongolian population,and Xba Ⅰ (X +) or EcoR Ⅰ (E-) alleles was not found in the Mongolian population.The levels of low density lipoprotein were (2.8 ± 0.9)mmol/L in the cholelithiasis group,which was significantly higher than (1.9 ± 0.8) mmol/L of the control group in the Han population (t =2.800,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were (1.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (3.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L of the cholelithiasis group,which were significantly higher than (1.2 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the control group in the Mongolian population (t =7.596,2.549,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein of the cholelithiasis group in the Mongolian population were (3.1 ± 1.6) mmol/L,(5.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L,(1.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (3.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L,which were significantly higher than (1.2 ± 0.6) mmol/L,(4.4 ± 1.2) mmol/L,(1.3 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the cholelithiasis group in the Han population (t =5.501,3.667,4.448,3.430,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein were (2.6 ± 1.7) mmol/L,(5.1 ± 1.1) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the control group in the Mongolian population,which were significantly higher than (1.3 ±0.7)mmol/L,(3.9 ±0.9) mmol/L and (1.9 ±0.8) mmol/L of the control group in the Han population (t =4.298,4.772,3.888,P ＜ 0.05),while the level of high density lipoprotein was significantly higher of the control group in the Han nationality than the control group in the Mongolian population (t =1.997,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of low density lipoprotein in patients with genotypes X + X-,X-X-of the cholelithiasis group in the Han population were (2.7 ± 0.1) mmol/L and (2.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L,and the levels of low density lipoprotein in patients with genoeypes E + E ±,E + E-/E-E-were (2.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L and (2.5±0.4)mmol/L,with no significant difference (t=0.225,0.124,P＞0.05).Conclusion In the Midwest area of Inner Mongolia,the Mongolian population might be more susceptible to cholelithiasis than the Han population.No relationship between the rare alleles X +,E-and the increase of blood lipids,which indicates that X + and E-of ApoB may not be a risk factor of cholelithiasis.
