Sex-specific association of the SPTY2D1 rs7934205 polymorphism and serum lipid levels.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to detect the association of the rs7934205 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) near the Suppressor of Ty, domain containing 1 gene (SPTY2D1) and serum lipid levels between males and females in the Mulao and Han populations. Genotyping of SPTY2D1 rs7934205 SNP was performed in 933 of Mulao and 865 of Han participants using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The T allele frequency was different between Mulao males and females (23.2% vs. 27.9%, P = 0.018). The genotype and allele frequencies were also different between Han males and females (P = 0.020 and P = 0.004; respectively). Serum levels of apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 in Mulao males; and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
