INTRODUCTION: DEFECTS IN LIPID METABOLISM
 Lipid abnormalities play a vital role in the patho-physiological
mechanisms of atherosclerosis and, hence, cardiovascular
diseases.
 Being a modifiable risk factor Lipid levels have the tendency to track
from childhood to adulthood.
 According to various studies, strongest predictors of Dyslipidemia in
adulthood are: lipid concentration and BMI (Body mass index) in
childhood.
 Dyslipidemia is a multifactorial disorders of lipids and lipoproteins,
characterized by abnormal levels such as elevated Low density
lipoprotein (LDL-C), triglycerides, total cholesterol or decreased high
density lipoprotein (HDL-C).
(Nuotio et. al, 2017)
Causes:
(Liu et al., 2011)
SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM
 Single nucleotide polymorphisms: most common type of genetic
variation.
 Represents a difference in a single nucleotide, for example,
nucleotide adenine (A) with the nucleotide guanine (G) in a certain
stretch of DNA.
 Although plasma lipid concentrations are strongly influenced by
smoking, diet, level of physical activity, and other lifestyles choices,
twin and family studies suggest that about 50-80% of the variation is
influenced genetically.
(Hegele, 2001).
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
 If preventive measures are not taken, excessive intake of cholesterol
is continued, defects in lipid metabolism may lead to Dyslipidemia,
which further contributes to Atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular
diseases.
 Thus, early identification of children and adolescents at increased risk
could allow targeted prevention strategies earlier in the disease
process with the potential to prevent or delay dyslipidemia related
complications.
(Nuotio et. al, 2017)
 This is a multicentre study, at first called 'Atherosclerosis
Precursors in Children' later on renamed to 'Cardiovascular Risk
in Young Finns', was designed as a collaborative effort of
various university departments.
 The study is done over a period of >31 years.
 The first study was done in 1980 when the age of study
population was 3-18 years.
 The cohorts were followed up every three years since 1980.
OBJECTIVE
 The main objectives of the base-line study have been to:
1) Study risk factors.
2) Study the determinants of CVD risk factors and the mechanisms by
which risk factor levels change into adult levels.
3) Study the effect of the time of the study and age of subjects on the
results.
4) Collect background information for future intervention, primary
prevention of CVD in Finnish children and adolescents.
 Objective of this study was to examine whether information on lipid-
associated SNPs improves early identification of children and
adolescents at increased risk for dyslipidemia in adulthood using
data from the prospective follow-up of participants since childhood
in the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Study Population:-
 The baseline study included 3596 children and adolescents aged 3-18
years (from Helsinki, Kuopio and Turku ), who were followed up every
3 year.
 Written informed consent was obtained from all participants or their
parents.
 The study was approved by local ethics committees in agreement with
the Declaration of Helsinki.

WEIGHTED GENETIC RISK SCORE
 For many diseases, genetic influences cannot be explained by
simple Mendelian modes of inheritance only.
 Moreover, genetic and environmental factors may jointly
contribute to susceptibility (gene-environment GxE
interaction).
 Since most complex diseases are influenced by hundreds of
genetic variants each having a small effect on its own, its
feasible to combine the variations.
 The most common approach is the weighted genetic risk
score (GRS) approach in which a weighted GRS is calculated
from a pre-selected number of genetic variants to define a
person’s individual genetic risk for disease development.
 More the risk score more is the susceptibility.
WEIGHTED GENETIC RISK SCORE
 The wGRS for HDL-C ranged from −3.42 to 3.13 in individuals
with low HDL-C and −3.01 to 3.10 in individuals with high
HDL-C.
 The wGRS for LDL-C ranged from −3.02 to 3.50 in individuals
with high LDL-C and −3.17 to 4.20 in individuals with low LDL-
C.
 The wGRS for triglycerides ranged from −2.34 to 3.86 in
individuals with high triglycerides and −3.13 to 3.34 in
individuals with low triglycerides.

childhood cholesterol levels and weighted genetic risk scores

 In the baseline studies results suggested that exposure to
cardiovascular risk factors in early in life may induce changes in
arteries. For example, exposure to high LDL cholesterol, elevated
blood pressure, obesity and cigarette smoking in adolescence
predict increased carotid IMT and decreased elasticity in later
adulthood.
 45% of individuals with low genetic risk and cholesterol levels in
childhood had elevated cholesterol in adulthood.
 Participants with both elevated cholesterol levels in childhood and
high genetic risk had clearly highest risk for adult dyslipidemia, as
92% of these individuals had elevated choleserol levels in
adulthood.
DISCUSSION
 In this study, it observed that the prediction of adult dyslipidemia can
be improved significantly by incorporating lipid-specific genetic risk
scores.
 In the present study, using genetic risk scores based on 157 SNPs, it
was observed that the lipid-specific genetic risk scores improve
significantly the risk discrimination of adult dyslipidemia compared
with clinical childhood lipid measures.
 The results were found that genetic information provides incremental
information compared with clinical risk factors in identifying children
and adolescents who are at risk of developing dyslipidemia in
adulthood.
 As atherosclerosis has its roots in childhood, early identification and
control of dyslipidemia throughout the life span would reduce the risk
for later clinical CVD.
CONCLUSIONS
 Childhood lipid levels and lipid-specific genetic risk scores were
independently related to dyslipidemia in adulthood 31 years later.
 The inclusion of wGRS to lipid-screening programs in childhood
could modestly improve the identification of those at highest risk of
dyslipidemia in adulthood.
A STUDY OF POLYMORPHISM OF GENES ASSOCIATED IN

INTRODUCTION: Dyslipidemia is a multifactorial disease in which
lipoproteins plays an important role. The plasma concentrations of
lipoproteins and their metabolic fates are modulated by
apolipoproteins. Studies identify that SNP in APOC3 and FABP2
genes predispose individuals to Dyslipidemia. Fatty acid-binding
protein 2 (FABP 2) is responsible for transport of free fatty acids in the
intestinal endothelium cells. Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) modulates
triglyceride metabolism through inhibition of lipoprotein lipase.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the association
between FABP2 Ala54Thr and APOC3 rs5128 genetic polymorphism
and Dyslipidemia in population of Madhya Pradesh, and its association
with occurrence of cardio vascular diseases (CVD).
METHODOLOGY: Total 90 subjects (30 Diabetic Dyslipidemics, 30
Non-Diabetic Dyslipidemics and 30 controls) were included.
Biochemical analysis, genomic DNA isolation was done.
Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP. Statistical analysis using
Graph-Pad and SPSS was done.
RESULTS: Our data indicated that APOC3 and FABP2
polymorphisms are associated with Dyslipidemia, and disease
associated (CVD) prominently in Non-Diabetic Patients. Further
studies are required for more accurate results.
