Impaired lipolysis has been proposed as a pathogenic factor contributing
to clustering of abdominal obesity and dyslipidaemia in Type II
(noninsulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus - that is, the metabolic
syndrome (MSDR). As this syndrome clusters in families, alterations in
the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) gene could contribute to the
genetic predisposition to MSDR. To test this hypothesis we carried out
population and intrafamily association studies in individuals with MSDR,
using a polymorphic marker (LIPE) in the HSL gene. There was a
significant difference in allele frequency distribution between 235 Type
II diabetic patients and 146 control subjects (p = 0.002), particularly
between 78 abdominally obese Type II diabetic patients with MSDR and the
control group (p = 0.010). An extended transmission disequilibrium test
(TDT) showed transmission disequilibrium of 66 alleles to 42 nondiabetic,
abdominally obese offspring in families with Type II diabetes (p <
0.05). A slight difference in allele frequency distribution was seen
between 71 individuals from the lowest and 71 from the highest tertile of
isoprenaline-induced lipolysis in fat tissue (p = 0.07). No missense
mutations were found with single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP)
in 20 abdominally obese subjects with MSDR. In conclusion, our population
and intrafamily association studies suggest that the LIPE marker in the
HSL gene is in linkage disequilibrium with an allele and/or gene which
increases susceptibility to abdominal obesity and thereby possibly to Type
II diabetes.
