Polymorphism and plasma levels of apolipoprotein E and the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
Lipids in Health and Disease 2018 May 17
BACKGROUND: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is the most common types of subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is a critical clinical problem with high morbidity, mortality, and economic impact. Recent studies have shown that APOE was a genetic risk factor of aSAH, however, the studies lack consistent conclusions and the evidence from Chinese Han population is rare.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between APOE polymorphism and the incidence of aSAH in Chinese Fujian Han population and explore the possible mechanism of ApoE in the pathogenesis of aSAH.
METHODS: A total of 131 patients newly diagnosed with aSAH were selected as aSAH group and 137 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. All the samples were analyzed for blood lipids and serum ApoE levels, and ApoE genotype was determined by a commercial chip and further confirmed with Sanger sequencing. An adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to estimate the effects of APOE polymorphism on the risk of aSAH.
RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the serum TC, HDL-C and ApoA1 levels in aSAH were significantly lower: TC (4.52 ± 1.38 vs. 5.11 ± 0.86 mmol/L, P < 0.001), HDL-C (1.23 ± 0.46 vs. 1.44 ± 0.32 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and ApoA1 (1.20 ± 0.32 vs. 1.38 ± 0.25 g/L, P < 0.001). The distribution of ε2/ε3 genotype (19.08% vs. 9.49%, P = 0.038) and ε2 allele frequency (11.07% vs. 5.84%, P = 0.039) was significantly higher in aSAH than the healthy controls. The multivariate logistic regression identified that ApoE ε2 allele was independently associated with aSAH (OR = 2.083; and 95% CI = 1.045-4.153, P = 0.037). The serum ApoE in aSAH were significantly higher than controls (53.03 ± 24.64 vs. 45.06 ± 12.84 mg/L, P = 0.010).
CONCLUSION: APOE polymorphism might be associated with the incidence of aSAH in Chinese Fujian Han population. ApoE ε2 may be a risk factor for the incidence of aSAH, which may be related with the impacts of ApoE genotypes for the serum lipids, especially for the plasma levels of ApoE.
