Results revealed significant differences in rs670 and rs2292318 allele frequencies between cases and controls (P<0.025). rs670 G allele carriers were more likely to develop dyslipidemia than A allele carriers (OR = 1.315, OR 95% CI: 1.067-2.620; P = 0.010). rs2292318 T allele carriers were more likely to develop dyslipidemia than A allele carriers (OR = 1.264, OR 95% CI: 1.037-1.541; P = 0.020).
ApoB rs512535 and ApoA1 rs670 major G allele homozygotes had increased MetS risk (OR 1.65 [CI 1.24, 2.20], P = 0.0006; OR 1.42 [CI 1.08, 1.87], P = 0.013), which may be, partly, explained by their increased abdominal obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity (P<0.05) but not dyslipidemia.
