To investigate whether ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) R219K genetic variation is correlated with blood lipids.Specimens of peripheral blood were collected from 692 patients with cerebral apoplexy, aged 62 +/- aged 12, and 352 sex- and age-matched persons without cardio-cerebro-vascular disease. Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the ABCA1 genotype: RR type (177 bp), RK type (177 bp, 107 bp, and 70 bp); and KK type (107 bp and 70 bp). The RR and KK type products were sequenced.The level of HDL-C showed an upward trend in the sequence of RR, RK, and KK genotypes with a significant difference between RR genotype (1.3 mmol/L +/- 0.4 mmol/L) and KK genotype (1.4 mmol/L +/- 0.4 mmol/L), especially in the males. The levels of TG tended downward in the sequence of RR, RK, and KK genotypes, however, without a significant difference between any 2 genotypes. Linear regression analysis showed that the HDL-C level was positively correlated with age in the noncarriers of ABCA1R219K genetic variation (RR genotype), and the TC level was negatively correlated with age in the carriers (RK + KK genotype).
