Several genetic factors have been investigated responsible for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphisms and MetS in 378 subjects from Southern Thailand. Subjects were divided into MetS+ (n = 121) and MetS- (n = 257) groups according to the criteria of National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATPIII). The CETP TaqIB and ApoE polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Logistic regression analysis revealed no association of CETP TaqIB and ApoE variants with MetS, after adjustment for age and sex. However, ε4 allele had a significantly increased odds ratio (OR) of reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels when compared with ε3 allele (OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.11-3.29, p = 0.020). This suggests that CETP TaqIB and ApoE polymorphisms may not be considered as genetic risk factors for MetS in a Southern Thai population. However, ε4 allele which is associated with one metabolic component, low HDL-C levels, might predispose the subjects to develop metabolic disturbances.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the link between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and coronary artery disease risk factors, particularly how dietary patterns might influence this relationship.
  • It involved 453 participants who provided dietary information through a detailed questionnaire, with two main dietary patterns identified: Western and Traditional.
  • Results indicated that greater adherence to the Traditional Dietary Pattern (TDP) significantly affected triglyceride levels and the TG/HDL-C ratio based on Taq1B genotypes, suggesting that diet may play a role in managing lipid profiles for those with specific genetic variations.

Gene-diet interactions and cardiovascular diseases: a systematic review of observational and clinical trials.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord

August 2022

Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM), University of Bern, Mittelstrasse 43, 3012, Bern, Switzerland.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviews how gene-diet interactions impact cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by analyzing research conducted up until June 2022, focusing on various types of studies, including randomized controlled trials and cohorts.
  • - A total of 59 articles were included where 35.6% were deemed high quality; the studies examined 50 dietary factors and 52 genetic variants, highlighting alcohol intake and ADH1C variants as key focuses.
  • - Out of 266 tested interactions between diet and genetics, only 18.8% were statistically significant, with some inconsistencies in findings, indicating that while certain gene-diet effects exist, they may vary across studies.

Objectives: Atorvastatin is commonly used medication to achieve low levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein () and LDL receptor () genetic variants can affect the cholesterol transport and hence may affect on atorvastatin response. This study aimed to investigate the influence of LDLR , and on the efficacy of 20 mg atorvastatin among Jordanian hyperlipidemic patients.

A Nutrigenetic Update on CETP Gene-Diet Interactions on Lipid-Related Outcomes.

Curr Atheroscler Rep

February 2022

Hugh Sinclair Unit of Human Nutrition, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6DZ, UK.

Purpose Of Review: An abnormal lipid profile is considered a main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and evidence suggests that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene contribute to variations in lipid levels in response to dietary intake. The objective of this review was to identify and discuss nutrigenetic studies assessing the interactions between CETP SNPs and dietary factors on blood lipids.

Recent Findings: Relevant articles were obtained through a literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar through to July 2021.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a key regulating enzyme in the lipid metabolism pathway, and its gene polymorphism may be a candidate for modulating the metabolic responses to dietary intervention. We thus examined whether the effects of the CETP TaqIB polymorphism on metabolic profiles were modified by dietary plant oils. This is a retrospective analysis of data collected during a randomized triple-blind cross over trial.
