Lipoprotein Lipase Mutations, Plasma Lipids and Lipoproteins, and Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease: A Meta-Analysis

Wittrup, Hans H., Tybjærg-Hansen, Anne, Nordestgaard, Børge G.·1999·Circulation

Abstract

Background —We assessed in meta-analyses the effect of the Gly188Glu, Asp9Asn, Asn291Ser, and Ser447Ter substitutions in lipoprotein lipase in the heterozygous state on lipid metabolism and risk of ischemic heart disease (same order used below). Methods and Results —In 29 separate studies, 20 903 white subjects were screened for ≥1 of these substitutions; each meta-analysis included only some of these individuals. In population-based studies, heterozygote frequencies ranged from 0.04% to 0.2%, 2% to 4%, 1% to 7%, and 17% to 22% for the respective substitutions. Postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity decreased 53% (95% CI, 31% to 75%) (only 1 study), 30% (22% to 37%), and 22% (8% to 35%) and was unchanged at 4% (−10% to 19%), respectively. Plasma triglycerides increased 78% (95% CI, 64% to 92%), 20% (9% to 33%), and 31% (20% to 43%) and decreased 8% (4% to 11%), respectively. HDL cholesterol decreased 0.25 mmol/L (0.18 to 0.32), 0.08 mmol/L (0.04 to 0.12), and 0.12 mmol/L (0.10 to 0.15) and increased 0.04 mmol/L (0.02 to 0.06), respectively. Odds ratios for ischemic heart disease were 4.9 (95% CI, 1.2 to 20) (only 1 study), 1.4 (0.8 to 2.4), 1.2 (0.9 to 1.5), and 0.8 (0.7 to 1.0), respectively. Subgroup analysis indicated that women with the Asn291Ser substitution may have an increased risk of ischemic heart disease. Conclusions —These meta-analyses suggest that compared with noncarriers, carriers of the Gly188Glu, Asp9Asn, and Asn291Ser substitutions have an atherogenic lipoprotein profile, whereas carriers of the Ser447Ter substitution have a protective lipoprotein profile. Accordingly, risk of ischemic heart disease in heterozygous carriers is increased for Gly188Glu carriers; at most, the increase is borderline for Asp9Asn and Asn291Ser carriers; and risk is possibly decreased for Ser447Ter carriers.

  • Loss-of-function mutations in LPL are associated with increased plasma TG levels and risk of ASCVD.

    “LOF mutations in LPL are also associated with increased plasma TG levels and risk of ASCVD”

    From The Forgotten Lipids: Triglycerides, Remnant Cholesterol, and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk (2019) · cites this paper as [128]

    The Plasma Triglycerides and Postheparin Plasma Lipoprotein Lipase Activity sections report that three LPL substitutions associated with reduced enzyme activity also increased triglycerides. The Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease and Discussion sections report increased risk for Gly188Glu carriers, but say any increase for Asp9Asn and Asn291Ser carriers was borderline at most. The claim overgeneralizes the cardiovascular-risk association across loss-of-function mutations. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
