    Investigation of LRP8 gene in 1p31 QTL linked to LDL peak particle diameter in the Quebec family study
    (Elsevier, 2010-12-24) Bouchard, Claude; Pérusse, Louis; Dolley, Guillaume; Lamarche, Benoît; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Després, Jean-Pierre
    The small, dense LDL phenotype is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. A genome-wide scan performed on 236 nuclear families of the Quebec Family Study (QFS) revealed a quantitative trait locus affecting LDL peak particle diameter (LDL-PPD) and density on the 1p31 region. This region contains the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8) gene. LRP8, a receptor for apolipoprotein (apo) E, modulates apoE levels, thus contributing to plasma cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) concentrations. We investigate the effects of LRP8 polymorphisms on LDL-PPD, on the relative proportion of small LDL (< 255 Å) and the absolute concentration of cholesterol among the small LDL particles. LRP8 rs5174 was associated with LDL-PPD and estimated cholesterol concentrations in the small LDL particles adjusted for the effects of age and sex (p = 0.008, p = 0.04, respectively). LRP8 rs3820198 was associated with total and LDL-cholesterol levels as well as with apoB concentrations adjusted for the effects of age and sex (p = 0.005, p = 0.004 and p = 0.01, respectively) but not with LDL size-related variables. These results suggest that LRP8 gene polymorphisms influence plasma cholesterol levels as well as size and composition of LDL particles.
