22 new data on the association between the glyoxalase I and haptoglobin loci.

No association between GLO and Hp was found in three Brazilian samples (153 Whites, 216 Blacks from Porto Alegre and 564 mixed individuals from Aracaju). In a sample of 174 Blacks (settled along the Trombetas river) a moderate (p less than 0.02) association was found, but not of the same kind as that observed by other authors. Population stratification instead of interactions in fitness may explain our findings.

Haptoglobin polymorphism in Korean patients with cardiovascular diseases.

We investigated the relation between hepatoglobin (Hp) polymorphism and plasma lipid levels in 913 Korean subjects. The distribution of Hp phenotypes did not show any significant differences between the healthy controls and the patients with cardiovascular disease. In the control group, however, the subgroup of > or = 50-year-olds had a significantly higher Hp*1 allele frequency than the subgroup <50 years (p < 0.005). This was not seen in the patient group. Hp phenotypes were associated with levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the hypertensive group. The results indicate that Hp polymorphism, at least in the Korean population, does not predispose to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
