Key result
LPL B1B1 genotype linked to ~627% increased CHD risk in Iraqi patients.
Why the study?
The association between LIPASE gene polymorphisms and diabetes mellitus remains debated, and Iraqi studies evaluating this polymorphism and its effect on blood lipids were lacking.
Does lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphism associate with lipid profile abnormalities and coronary heart disease in Iraqi patients?
Case-Control (n=180)
No
Does lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphism associate with lipid profile abnormalities and coronary heart disease in Iraqi patients?
The study demonstrates a significant association between the LPL gene polymorphism (B1 allele) and coronary heart disease, alongside marked lipid profile abnormalities in Iraqi patients.
May inform CHD risk stratification in Iraqi diabetics; leaves open clinical utility of LPL genotyping pending prospective validation.
Prior research has assessed the correlations between the likelihood of acquiring diabetes mellitus and the polymorphism in the cholesterol ester transfer protein (LIPASE GENE). Chronic hyperglycemia and abnormalities in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins due to deficiencies in insulin production, action, or both are characteristics of the metabolic condition known as diabetes mellitus (DM), which has several etiologies. However, the conclusions are still up for debate. This study sought to determine whether lipid profile abnormalities in Iraqi diabetic patients were associated with the LIPASE GENE. Methods, To shed light on the relationships between the LIPASE GENE TaqIB polymorphism, HDL-C levels, and diabetes mellitus, we performed a meta-analysis of the literature. Findings: This study included 160 Iraqi participants, 90 of whom had diabetes mellitus, and 70 of whom served as controls. Table 1 displays the population study's blood lipid data. TC, TG, LDL-C, and VLDL-C were all considerably greater (P<0.0001) in the patient group than in the control group, with the exception of HDL-C, which was lower (P<0.0001). In this study, there were more men (75.55%) than women (24.4%) with type 2 diabetes. The large percentage of men in this research may result from the demographics of the hospital's patients, who tend to seek medical care more frequently than women to have more free time because most of them are retired. Included in the correlation between HDL-C concentration and lipase polymorphism. The LIPASE GENE gene has been shown to have a variety of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The influence of the rs708272 (g.5454G>A) polymorphism on HDL-C focus has been explained. This study aimed to evaluate the LIPASE gene site polymorphism and its effect on blood lipids in Iraqi patients with lipid problems. Since a few evaluations listed the LIPASE GENE polymorphism's association with the HDL level we decided to use it because we couldn't locate any Iraqi studies that addressed this polymorphism.

Abduqader W. Rasheid (2025) conducted a case-control in Coronary Heart Disease (n=180). Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphism vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Association of LPL B1B1 genotype with coronary heart disease (OR 7.27, 95% CI 2.48-21.92, p=0.0001). The B1B1 genotype of the lipoprotein lipase gene was significantly associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in Iraqi patients (OR 7.27).
