Background:
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in plasma. Mutations of its related gene; apolipoprotein B (APOB) is seen in about two percent of the patient with FH. Thyroid disease is usually part of the exclusion criteria for the detection of FH which alters the lipid profile. We evaluated mutations in the
APOB
gene in patients with high LDL-C levels.
Materials and Methods:
Patients aged between 2 and 80 years with at least one LDL-C level of more than 190 mg/dl were selected (120 patients) from Isfahan Laboratories. Blood samples were obtained from all patients. Genomic DNA was extracted. Primer sequences were designed by Oligo 7.60 to amplify the desired 844 bp region of exon 26 of the
APOB gene
containing
R3500Q
and
R3500W
variants associated with FH.
Results:
Overall, two patients showed a heterozygous form of a common pathogenic variant in exon 26 named c. 10579 C > T (R3500W, cDNA.10707), and one patient was hypothyroidism. We also recognized another nonpathognomonic variant c. 10913G > A (rs1801701, cDNA.11041) in 13 patients, two of them were hypothyroidism.
Conclusion:
This study for the first time shows the coexistence of
APOB
mutation in hypothyroidism, which emphasis screening of patients with hypothyroid for FH detection.
