Relationship between Apolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism and Disturbance of Serum Lipid Metabolism in Children with Primary Nephrotic Syndrome / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the distribution of apolipoprotein E(apoE) genotypes and alleles in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS),and to investigate the relationship between apoE gene polymorphism and disturbance of serum lipid metabolism.Methods Forty-six children with PNS were compared with 39 age-sex-matched healthy children.Serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyeride(TG),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),apoA_1,apoB and apoA_1/B were detected,and polychain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP) combined with gene sequence determination was used to confirm the apoE genotypes in two groups.Results 1.Serum TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,apoB and apoA_1/B in PNS group were higher than those of control group,respectively(P
