Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) plays an important role in determining plasma triglyceride levels. We studied the effect of APOA5 polymorphisms on plasma triglyceride levels in Turks, a population with low levels of HDL cholesterol and a high prevalence of coronary artery disease. We found 15 polymorphisms, three of which were novel. Seven haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were chosen and genotyped in about 3000 subjects. The rare alleles of the –1464T>C, –1131T>C, S19W, and 1259T>C SNPs were each significantly associated with elevated triglyceride levels (19 to 86 mg/dl, P < 0.05) and had clear gene-dose effects. Haplotype analysis of the nine common APOA5 haplotypes revealed significant effects on triglyceride levels (P < 0.001). Detailed analysis of haplotypes clearly showed the –1464T>C polymorphism had no effect by itself but was a marker for the –1131T>C, S19W, and 1259T>C polymorphisms. The –1131T>C and 1259T>C polymorphisms were in a strong but incomplete linkage disequilibrium and appeared to have independent effects. Thus, the APOA5 –1131T>C, S19W, and 1259T>C rare alleles were associated with a significant elevation in plasma triglyceride levels. At least one of these alleles was present in about 40% of the Turks. Similar associations were observed for –1131T>C and S19W in white Americans living in San Francisco, CA.
