Common polymorphism of the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5, c.553G>T) related to metabolic syndrome components, insulin resistance, and carotid atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the associations of the APOA5 c.553G>T gene with various metabolic syndrome components and carotid artery atherosclerosis among family members. A total of 661 participants who provided complete genotyping and carotid artery measures were included in this study. Participants with APOA5 c.553T carrier (GT and TT) were more likely to have higher levels of triglycerides and apolipoprotein B, as well as lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, than participants with the GG genotype. Individuals who carried T alleles had an increased risk of a high level of triglycerides (multivariate odds ratio [OR], 3.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.98-7.55; PT polymorphism is associated with high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol but not with other metabolic syndrome components or carotid atherosclerosis in this ethnic Chinese population.
