The important role of APOAV gene variants in determination of plasma triglyceride levels has been shown in many population studies. Recently, an influence of APOAV T-1131 > C polymorphism on C-reactive protein (CRP) in young Korean males has been reported. We have therefore analyzed a putative association between T-1131 > C, Ser19 > Trp and Val153 > Met APOAV variants (PCR and restriction analysis) and CRP concentrations in 1119 Caucasian males, aged between 28 and 67 years (49.2 +/- 10.8 years). The frequency of C allele carriers was lower in Caucasians than in Koreans (15.5% vs. 46.2%). CRP levels did not differ between T/T homozygotes (n=946, 1.61 +/- 2.05 mg/1) and carriers of the C allele (n=173, 1.67 +/- 1.95 mg/1). Thus, in contrast to Korean males, T-1131 > C APOAV variant has no effect on plasma concentrations of CRP in a large group of Caucasian males. Other APOAV variants (Ser19 > Trp and Val153 > Met) did not also influence plasma concentrations of CRP. APOAV variants are unlikely to be an important genetic determinant of plasma CRP concentrations in Caucasian males.
