Genetic polymorphisms of superoxide dismutase 1 are associated with the serum lipid profiles of Han Chinese adults in a sexually dimorphic manner.

ABSTRACT: Inspired by the mechanistic correlations between superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and lipid metabolism, the associations of SOD1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with circulating lipid levels were explored. In 2621 Chinese Han adults, randomly recruited from a health examination center without organic diseases, cancers, and pregnancy, three tag SNPs, rs4998557, rs1041740, and rs17880487 selected by Haploview software were genotyped with a probe-based real-time quantitative PCR method. In both genders, most parameters of the dyslipidemia adults were inferior (P < 0.001) to those of the non-dyslipidemia adults, and genotype frequencies of rs4998557 and rs17880487 were significantly different (P < 0.05) between the normal and abnormal subgroups of total cholesterol (TC) or high-density lip
