Abstract: Objective To investigate the association between rs780094 polymorphism in glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) and plasma lipid levels in children and adolescents. Methods 1 026 Chinese children aged 7 to 18 years were recruited,with anthropometric measurements,detection of plasma lipid levels and genotyping of rs780094 performed. Relationships between polymorphism and plasma lipid levels were tested,using multivariate linear regression and logistic regression. Results A-allele of rs780094 in GCKR was associated with increased TC,TG and LDL-C levels(b=0.06 mmol/L,P=0.037;b=0.09 mmol/L,P<0.001;b=0.05 mmol/L,P=0.040) under the additive model adjusted for age,age square and gender. The rs780094 in GCKR was also associated with abnormal levels of TG and LDL-C(OR=1.60,95%CI:1.30-1.97,P<0.001;OR=1.35,95%CI:1.02-1.80,P=0.036). Conclusion The rs780094 in GCKR was associated with plasma lipid levels in children and adolescents while A-allele of rs780094 might serve as genetic factor for the increased plasma lipid levels.
