| Part Ⅰ The correlation of ABCA1 gene R219K polymorphism and blood lipid level with abdominal aortic aneurysm[Objective]To investigate the correlation of ABCA1 gene R219K polymorphism and blood lipid level with healthy volunteer and abdominal aortic aneurysm patients.[Method]PCR of 126 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm patients and 119 healthy volunteer are used to detect SNP patterns in rs2230806 loci of ABCA1 gene and analyze its distribution pattern and the correlation of blood lipid level.To investigate the correlation of ABCA1 gene R219K polymorphism and blood lipid level with healthy volunteer and abdominal aortic aneurysm patients.[Result]①Disease group compared with control group,TG and LDL-C level obviously is higher,TC and HDL-C level obviously is lower.②The result of ABCA1 gene frequency of R219K polymorphism distribution between the two groups,the distribution of the RR and KK genotype,the distribution of R and K allele frequency are different statistical.There was no statistically significant difference on RK genotype distribution.③In disease group,KK and RK genotype carriers have higher level of HDL-C and apoA-I than RR genotype carriers.But there was no statistically significant difference on TQTC and LDL-C.④Logistic analysis showed that R allele may be associated with the onset of AAA.[Conclusion]ABCA1 gene R219K polymorphism KK and RK genotype are related to the HDL-C and apoA-I level.ABCA1 gene R219K polymorphism is related to AAA,and the R allele may be a risk factor of AAA.Part Ⅱ The influence of ABCA1 gene on aortic smooth muscle cell
