Title
Lack of Association between Polymorphisms of Hepatic Lipase with Lipid Profile in Young Jordanian Adults
Abstract
The human hepatic lipase (LIPC) gene encodes hepatic lipase, an enzyme involved in lipoprotein metabolism and regulation. Therefore, variants in LIPC gene may influence plasma lipoprotein levels. In this study, the association of LIPC C-514T and G-250A polymorphisms with plasma lipid profiles in 348 young Jordanians was investigated. Genotyping of C-514T and G-250A was performed by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent digestion with DraI and NiaIII restriction enzymes, respectively, while Roche analyzer was used to determine plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides, low- and high-density lipoprotein. The G-250 and C-514 alleles were most abundant in Jordanians with 79 and 80% frequencies, respectively. Additionally, no difference was found in the lipid–lipoprotein profile between the different genotype groups of C-514T or G-250A polymorphisms, even when males and females were examined separately (P . 0.05). In young Jordanian adults, the examined LIPC polymorphisms seem to play a limited role in determining the lipid profile.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesI have found the staff at Libertas Academica to be prompt and helpful in answering any questions. The My LA portal contained all the needed resources and guided me through the process of responding to peer review and copy editing. A comprehensive and author-friendly process—and very timely as well! I would recommend the journal 'Clinical Medicine Insights: Therapeutics' to others who have relevant submissions.
