Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene is associated with decreasing high density lipoprotein (HDL) and non-HDL in adult patients, and affect the total cholesterol levels in children
Summary
Genetic polymorphisms related to HIV infection influence lipid metabolism[1]. Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene is associated with decreasing high density lipoprotein (HDL) and non-HDL in adult patients, and affect the total cholesterol levels in children. The presence of metabolic disorders is associated with high levels of lipids in the blood associated with hypersensitivity reactions to drugs so that it can lead to therapeutic failure from anti-retroviral therapy (ART)[2]. Genetic determination with APOC3 has a large impact in the selection of therapeutic regimens and predicts the side effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) drugs[2]. Genetic factors can affect the therapeutic response to HIV infection. Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) polymorphism is related to metabolic disorders and hypersensitivities and affect tolerability that impacts adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
