BACKGROUND: APOAV is newly described protein, which plays a crucial role in the determination of plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. Remnant lipoproteins (RLPs) result from partial catabolised TG-rich particles. Elevated levels of RLP are associated with atherosclerosis, and they are a predictor of coronary events in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS: We have evaluated the influence of APOAV polymorphisms (T-1131/C, Ser19/Trp and Val153/Met were measured by PCR and restriction analysis) on plasma levels of RLP-cholesterol and RLP-TG in 285 unrelated representative selected individuals (131 men and 154 women) aged 33-72 years. RESULTS: RLP-cholesterol and RLP-TG levels were not significantly influenced by the APOAV variants either in whole population or in males and females, if analyzed separately. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that variations T-1131/C, Ser19/Trp and Val153/Met in the APOAV gene have no effect on plasma levels of remnant particles.
