Objective: The recently discovered apoAV is hypothesized to affect triglyceride metabolism by stimulating the lipolysis of triglycerides in VLDL and chylomicrons. We set out to determine the association between increased serum TG levels, plasma apoAV levels, and polymorphism of the APOA5 gene, with specific emphasis on the APOA5 S19W variation. This mutation alters the endoplasmic reticulum signal peptide and is hypothesized to impair apoAV secretion into the circulation.Methods and results: Two haplotype-tagging APOA5 polymorphisms, APOA5 S 19W and APOA5 -113 IT > C and plasma apoAV levels were determined in a population of patients with severe hypertriglyceridernia (HTG). As compared to a random control population, the allele frequencies of the APOA5 S 19W and - 113 1 T > C rare variants were significantly increased in HTG patients. Furthermore, the HTG population exhibited markedly elevated plasma apoAV levels that were positively correlated with serum TG levels. Plasma apoAV levels were positively correlated with occurrence of the APOA5 S19W rare variant.Conclusions: The increased allele frequencies of the APOA5 S 19W and - 113 1 T > C rare variants in the HTG population are in agreement with previous reports. Our data show a positive correlation between apoAV and TG levels. Moreover the finding of a positive association between apoAV levels and the APOA5 S19W rare variant is in disagreement with the hypothesis that this variant is poorly secreted.
