Sixteen SNPs were significantly associated with an increased risk of HTG development, with odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) varying from 1.40 (1.01-1.95) to 4.69 (3.29-6.68) (rs964184 within the APOA5 gene).
Multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, gender and body mass index revealed that rs964184 of ZPR1 (P=5.1x10‑7; odds ratio, 1.37; dominant model), rs4845625 of IL6R (P=0.0019, odds ratio, 1.25; dominant model) and rs46522 of UBE2Z (P=0.0039, odds ratio, 1.19; dominant model) were significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia, and that rs599839 of PSRC1 (P=0.0004, odds ratio, 0.70; dominant model) and rs2075650 of TOMM40 (P=0.0004, odds ratio, 1.43; dominant model) were significantly associated with hyper‑LDL‑cholesterolemia.
MG 18∶2 showed an enrichment (P-value = 0.002) of significant associations with CHD-associated SNPs (P-value = 1.2×10-7 for association with rs964184 in the ZNF259/APOA5 region) and a weak, but positive causal effect (odds ratio = 1.05 per SD increment in MG 18∶2, P-value = 0.05) on CHD, as suggested by Mendelian randomization analysis.
The G-G-A-A-C-C haplotype, carrying rs964184-G-allele, was associated with increased risk of HCH (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.66, P = 0.005) and HTG (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.39, 2.21, P = 0.000).
A previously known lipid locus, APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster region (SNP rs964184), was associated with MetS in all 4 study samples (P=7.23×10(-9) in meta-analysis).
