Peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor delta genotype in relation tocardiovascular risk factors and risk of coronaryheart disease in hypercholesterolaemic men. J InternMed 2003; 254: 597–604.Objectives. Peroxisome proliferator activatedreceptor delta (PPARD) is a transcription factorimplicated in the regulation of genes involved incholesterol metabolism. We recently discovered acommon polymorphism in the 5¢-untranslatedregion (5¢-UTR) of the human PPARD, +294T/C,that is associated with an increased plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrationin healthy subjects. Whether the +294C allele isassociated with LDL-C elevation independently of thebackground lipoprotein phenotype and whether itconfers increased risk of coronary heart disease(CHD) is unknown. Against this background, weinvestigated the relationships between thePPARD polymorphism and plasma lipoproteinconcentrations and the risk for contracting CHD inthe West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study(WOSCOPS).Design. A nested case–control study of participantsin a randomized double-blind placebo-controlledtrial of pravastatin in mildly-to-moderatelyhypercholesterolaemic men.Subjects. A total of 580 cases of incident CHD and1160 individuals who remained free of CHD(controls).Main outcome measures. Plasma lipoprotein con-centrations and risk of CHD according to PPARDgenotype.Results. Individuals carrying the rare PPARD+294C allele had a significantly lower high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration thansubjects homozygous for the common T-allele.Homozygous carriers of the C-allele also showed atendency towards higher risk of CHD compared withhomozygous carriers of the T-allele. In addition, agene–gene interaction involving the PPARDpolymorphism and the PPAR alpha L162Vpolymorphism may influence the plasma LDL-Cconcentration.Conclusions. PPARD plays a role in cholesterolmetabolism in man.Keywords: association study, cholesterol metabo-lism, coronary heart disease, peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor delta, polymorphism.
