Genetic cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency caused by two prevalent mutations as a major determinant of increased levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol .
[ { "name": "cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency", "pos": [ 8, 53 ], "type": "Disease" } ]

Genetic determinants of HDL cholesterol ( HDL - C ) levels in the general population are poorly understood .

[ "Disease" ]
We previously described plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein ( CETP ) deficiency due to an intron 14 G ( + 1 ) - to - A mutation ( Int14 A ) in several families with very high HDL - C levels in Japan .
[ { "name": "cholesteryl ester transfer protein ( CETP ) deficiency", "pos": [ 31, 85 ], "type": "Disease" } ]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
Subjects with HDL - C > or = 100 mg / dl ( n = 130 ) were screened by PCR single strand conformational polymorphism analysis of the CETP gene .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
Two other mutations were identified by DNA sequencing or primer - mediated restriction map modification of PCR products a novel intron 14 splice donor site mutation caused by a T insertion at position + 3 from the exon14 / intron14 boundary ( Int14 T ) and a missense mutation ( Asp442 to Gly ) within exon 15 ( D442G ) .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
The Int14 T mutation was only found in one family .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
However , the D442G and Int14 A mutations were highly prevalent in subjects with HDL - C > or = 60 mg / dl , with combined allele frequencies of 9 % , 12 % , 21 % and 43 % for HDL - C 60 - 79 , 80 - 99 , 100 - 119 , and > or = 120 mg / dl , respectively .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
Furthermore , prevalences of the D442G and Int14 A mutations were extremely high in a general sample of Japanese men ( n = 236 ) , with heterozygote frequencies of 7 % and 2 % , respectively .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
These two mutations accounted for about 10 % of the total variance of HDL - C in this population .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
The phenotype in a genetic compound heterozygote ( Int14 T and Int14 A ) was similar to that of Int14 A homozygotes ( no detectable CETP and markedly increased HDL - C ) , indicating that the Int14 T produces a null allele .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
In four D442G homozygotes , mean HDL - C levels ( 86 + / - 26 mg / dl ) were lower than in Int14 A homozygotes ( 158 + / - 35 mg / dl ) , reflecting residual CETP activity in plasma .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
In 47 D442G heterozygotes , mean HDL - C levels were 91 + / - 23 mg / dl , similar to the level in D442G homozygotes , and significantly greater than mean HDL - C levels in Int14 A heterozygotes ( 69 + / - 15 mg / dl ) .
[]
ncbi
[ "Disease" ]
Thus , the D442G mutation acts differently to the null mutations with weaker effects on HDL in the homozygous state and stronger effects in the heterozygotes , suggesting dominant expression of a partially defective allele .
[]
ncbi

CETP deficiency , reflecting two prevalent mutations ( D442G and Int14 A ) , is the first example of a genetic deficiency state which is sufficiently common to explain a significant fraction of the variation in HDL - C in the general population . .

Contrarily , pravastatin at a dose of 10 mg / day improved the sera of the patients to be markedly " anti - atherogenic " , but the reductions of cholestanol ( 30 . 4 % ) , lathosterol ( 44 . 0 % ) , campesterol ( 22 . 9 % ) and sitosterol ( 9 . 6 % ) were inadequate .
