Abstract

The human lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1/LOX-1) is the major endothelial scavenger receptor against oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We investigated the G501C mutation in the OLR1 gene in 235 Japanese patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and 274 age- and sex-matched healthy controls using single nucleotide primer extension analysis (SNuPe). There was no significant difference in the polymorphism between patients with ischemic CVD and controls (GC + CC versus GG, p = 0.48). The C allele was not significantly different between the patients and controls (C versus G, p = 0.91). Our results show that the OLR1 gene polymorphism has little effect on an increased risk for ischemic CVD in the Japanese population.
