APOC3

APOC3

A gene on chromosome 11q23.1-q23.2 that encodes apolipoprotein C-III, a very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) protein that inhibits lipoprotein and hepatic lipases; it is thought to delay catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles.

La presencia de la "A" en lugar de la "G", que podria interpretarse como una falta de ortografia en el texto genomico de 3,200 millones de letras de nuestro ADN, es suficiente para inactivar al gen APOC3 y, en consecuencia, no se genera la proteina que deberia surgir de ese gen.

Finally, in 190 affected sibling pairs from a cohort of Asian Indian families with a strong history of premature coronary artery disease, the Sac-1 single nucleotide polymorphism in the APOC3 gene and hypertension were contributory factors to this atherogenic trait; circulating apoA-I in participants (distinct from HDL-cholesterol) was highly significantly and positively correlated with serum apoB and triglycerides (28).

Attacking Heart Disease at Its Genetic Base
In support, a genome-wide association study in the inbred Old Order Amish identified heterozygosity for a null mutation (R19X) in APOC3 (apolipoprotein C-III) resulting in lower triglycerides and a decrease in coronary artery calcification as a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis (8), suggesting that lifelong deficiency of apolipoprotein C-III promoting triglyceride hydrolysis may have a cardioprotective effect.
