Oxidized low-density lipoprotein-receptor 1 (OLR-1) might be involved in the risk of atherosclerosis and its complications. Several studies have been carried out to explore the role of OLR-1 gene polymorphisms in the risk of coronary artery disease. Our study investigated whether the G501C and the 3'UTR C188T polymorphisms of the OLR-1 gene were genetic risk factors of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Han Chinese population. Significant differences were found in genotype frequencies of the OLR-1 G501C polymorphism between 198 ACS patients and 204 control individuals. The CC genotype frequency in the ACS group was significantly higher than that in the control group (5.6% and 1.5% in ACS patients and control subjects, respectively), and the p-value and odds ratio were 0.028 and 3.911, respectively. Using the CC genotype as a reference, we have shown a significant association between carriers of the G allele (GG + GC genotypes) and a decreased risk of ACS (p = 0.026, odds ratio = 0.254, 95% confidence interval = 0.070-0.924). The OLR-1 G501C polymorphism might be associated with ACS in the Han Chinese population.

Unlabelled: The background and purpose: Published data on the association between LOX-1 3'UTR C188T and G501C polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk are inconclusive. In order to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was conducted.
Methods And Subjects: Crude ORs with 95% CIs were used to assess the strength of association between these polymorphisms and CAD risk.

Background: Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. This study is aimed at evaluating the potential association of 3'-UTR-C188T and G501C in LOX-1 gene with cerebral infarction.
Methods: A total of 386 patients with cerebral infarction and 386 healthy controls were included in the study, which were unrelated Chinese Han population in the Liaoning Province of northern China.
Metformin is a well-known antidiabetic medication, which, besides diabetes, may be involved into modulation of other age-related pathologies, including cancer. The study concerns 12 gene polymorphisms divided into 2 groups consisting of 6 genes each. The first group was composed from so-called "standard" (S) polymorphisms, for which the connection with metabolic response to metformin is already established.

This selectivity at least partly may be explained by the certain features of MF pharmacogenetics. More than 150 postmenopausal females divided into 4 groups (cancer +diabetes type 2 (DM2); cancer without DM2; DM2 without cancer, and healthy) were studied.

Albuminuria is an independent predictor of renal and cardiovascular complications in hypertensive subjects. We previously showed that lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR-1) polymorphisms at G501C are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension and serum C-reactive protein levels. We have now investigated a possible association between OLR-1 polymorphisms at G501C, genotyped by PCR-RFLP, and severity of albuminuria in 307 hypertensive Chinese subjects and 225 age- and sex-matched controls.
