Supports early cardiometabolic risk stratification in variant carriers; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical consideration.
Does the interaction between LIPC and APOC3 promoter variants affect glucose tolerance and lipid metabolism in healthy young males?
Gene-gene interaction between LIPC and APOC3 variants in healthy young males leads to changes characteristic of Syndrome-X, including higher diastolic blood pressure and lower glucose tolerance.
Jansen et al. (2001) studied this question.
