LPL mass was significantly lower in patients with PvuII and HindIII mutant alleles (P2 and H2) and decreased as the number of MetSyn components increased in all PvuII and HindIII haplotypes.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes triglycerides in lipoprotein to supply fatty acids, and its deficiency leads to hypertriglyceridemia, thereby inducing metabolic syndrome (MetSyn).
A 3-SNP GRS and MetRS were generated in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort (n = 20,074) based on 3 SNPs in LPL and APOA5 or the number of Metabolic Syndrome criteria present (maximum 5), respectively.
Genome-wide screen for metabolic syndrome susceptibility Loci reveals strong lipid gene contribution but no evidence for common genetic basis for clustering of metabolic syndrome traits.

In conclusion, our results show the involvement of the variants of ESR1, LPL and CETP genes in metabolic events related to MetS or some of its features.
In the group of participants with PPARγ Pro12Ala or Ala12Ala genotypes, those with the LPL Pvu (-/+) or (+/+) genotype had greater odds for MetSy (odds ratio OR=5.98; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.46-24.47, p=0.013).
Logistic regression analysis after adjustment for age, sex, adiponectin and S447X polymorphism demonstrated that LPL mass was inversely associated with CHD in men and both genders (p=0.02), with hypertension confined to women (p=0.04) and with MS likelihood in both genders combined and women [odds ratio 1.51 (95% CI 1.14-2.00) for halving the likelihood].
Mutations in the lipoprotein lipase gene causing decreased lipoprotein lipase activity are associated with surrogate markers of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome in humans.
Plasma fatty acid composition, plasma lipid concentrations and LPL SNPs were determined in 452 subjects with the MetS in the European LIPGENE human study and were repeated in 1754 subjects from the LIPGENE-SU.VI.MAX Study.
Significant increases were observed in blood pressure, HOMA-IR, leptin, triglycerides, insulin, intra-abdominal fat, and number of fat cells per field (<i>p</i> = 0.001) and in advanced glycosylation products, adipocyte area, LPL, HSL activities and/or expression (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.01) in the MS groups progressively from the third month onward.
The aim of this study was to analyze the level of DNA methylation of several lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-promoter-CpG dinucleotides in a CpG island region and relate this to the gene and protein expression levels in human visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from individuals with and without MetS.
The apolipoprotein A5 Q139X, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) Hinf I, human paraoxonase 1 (PON1) 192Arg/Gln, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) Taq1B, adiponectin 45T>G and leptin (LEP) 25CAG were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction in participants with and without MetS.
