Abstract:Objective To explore the polymorphisms of ApoE and SLCO1B1 genes and their effects on the lipid-lowering effect of statins in patients with hyperlipidemia. Methods A total of 247 patients with hyperlipidemia found during routine physical examination in Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital, Jiangsu Province, from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected, and the polymorphisms of ApoE and SLCO1B1 gene loci of the patients were detected by PCR-pyrosequencing method, and the Hardy-Weinberg law was analyzed for genotype typing. The distribution characteristics of different genotypes in sex were compared. The patients were classified according to ApoE and SLCO1B1 gene polymorphisms, and the differences in blood lipid indexes of patients with different genotypes were compared before and after taking Statins for three months. Results The observed ApoE and SLCO1B1 gene loci in 247 patients with hyperlipidemia were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg law (P>0.05). The ApoE alleles of the patients were E2 (133 cases), E3 (173 cases), and E4 (41 cases), involving six different genotypes, namely E2/E2, E2/E3, E2/E4, E3/E3, E3/E4, and E4/E4, and there was no statistical significance in the gender distribution of different genotypes (P>0.05). SLCO1B1 gene phenotypes were detected in three classes (six genotypes), including Class Ⅰ (*1a/*1a, *1a/*1b, *1b/*1b, 185 cases), Ⅱ (*1a/*15, *1b/*15, 58 cases), and Ⅲ (*15/*15, 4 cases) genotypes. The gender distribution of SLCO1B1 genotype patients was compared, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After three months of treatment, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in ApoE2, E3, and E4 patients were lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After three months of treatment, TC, TG, and LDL-C in SLCO1B1 genotype ClassⅠ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ patients were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The gene frequencies of ApoE and SLCO1B1 are regularly distributed, and there are sex differences in the SLCO1B1 genotype. The polymorphism of ApoE and SLCO1B1 genes may have no effect on statin therapy in patients with hyperlipidemia.
