The Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates, and a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that seven different polymorphisms were significantly (P<0.005) associated with the prevalence of CKD in individuals with low or high serum concentrations of TG or HDL- or LDL-cholesterol: the Aright curved arrow G (Glu23Lys) polymorphism of KCNJ11 and the 125592Cright curved arrow A (Thr431Asn) polymorphism of ROCK2 in individuals with low serum TG; the 734Cright curved arrow T (Thr254Ile) polymorphism of ACAT2 and the Cright curved arrow G (Gln27Glu) polymorphism of ADRB2 in individuals with high serum TG; the -1607/1Gright curved arrow 2G polymorphism of MMP1 in individuals with low serum HDL-cholesterol; the Gright curved arrow A (Val158Met) polymorphism of COMT in individuals with low serum LDL-cholesterol; the 584Gright curved arrow A (Gln192Arg) polymorphism of PON1 in individuals with high serum LDL-cholesterol.
