Abstract

Apolipo protein A-V (APOA5) gene located on human 11q23 is an important determinant of plasma triglyceride levels [1]. Obese children with hyperinsulinemia had higher triglyceride (TG) level and lower APOA5 level than those without hyperinsulinemia and serum APOA5was correlated negatively with TG level [2].Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of APOA5 were found to be significantly associated with plasma/serum TG levels in children [3- 7]. SNP3 (ss3199915, now merged into rs662799) of APOA5gene was found to play an important role in the variation of serum TG levels. The serum TG levels of the subjects with C allele were significantly higher than those of the subjects with the T/T genotype.
