Combined data from 10 different populations indicate that the serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels are higher in Ag(x-) than in Ag(x+) individuals. Although the differences were relatively small, they became more pronounced with increasing age. The Ag(x) antigen, which is associated with the serum low density lipoprotein, is genetically controlled and the present study therefore has revealed a small but significant effect of a single autosomal locus on lipids implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. No explanation of the higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels in Ag(x-) than in Ag(x+) persons is apparent.
来自10个不同人群的综合数据表明,Ag(x-)个体的血清胆固醇和甘油三酯水平高于Ag(x+)个体。尽管差异相对较小,但随着年龄的增长,差异变得更加明显。与血清低密度脂蛋白相关的Ag(x)抗原受基因控制,因此本研究揭示了一个常染色体位点对参与动脉粥样硬化发病机制的脂质有微小但显著的影响。目前尚不清楚Ag(x-)个体的胆固醇和甘油三酯水平高于Ag(x+)个体的原因。
