Abstract
Background
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, a member of the serine protease family, plays an important role in the regulation of plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol by stimulating the degradation of LDL receptor.
Method
In this meta-analysis, we explored the correlation of PCSK9 polymorphisms E670G and D374Y with the elevated plasma lipid levels, which leads to a condition known as hypercholesterolemia, by calculating the standardized mean difference and Odds Ratio with 95% confidence interval. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version.
Results
Under dominant genetic model, pooled results had shown that PCSK9 E670G polymorphism was associated with higher LDL-C levels among the Asians (SMD = 0.53; I2 = 40%; OR = 0.7610; 95% CI = 0.6554 to 0.8837 and p value = 0.003).
Conclusion
The close relationship between both polymorphisms of PCSK9 gene i.e. E670G and D374Y, with the elevated plasma LDL-C levels has been observed. E670G polymorphism is highly prevalent among the Asian population.

期刊介绍:
Meta Gene publishes meta-analysis, polymorphism and population study papers that are relevant to both human and non-human species. Examples include but are not limited to: (Relevant to human specimens): 1Meta-Analysis Papers - statistical reviews of the published literature of human genetic variation (typically linked to medical conditionals and/or congenital diseases) 2Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) - examination of large patient cohorts to identify common genetic factors that influence health and disease 3Human Genetics Papers - original studies describing new data on genetic variation in smaller patient populations 4Genetic Case Reports - short communications describing novel and in formative genetic mutations or chromosomal aberrations (e.g., probands) in very small demographic groups (e.g., family or unique ethnic group). (Relevant to non-human specimens): 1Small Genome Papers - Analysis of genetic variation in organelle genomes (e.g., mitochondrial DNA) 2Microbiota Papers - Analysis of microbiological variation through analysis of DNA sequencing in different biological environments 3Ecological Diversity Papers - Geographical distribution of genetic diversity of zoological or botanical species.
