A detailed Hapmap of the Sitosterolemia locus spanning 69 kb; differences between Caucasians and African-Americans.
BMC Med Genet. 2006 Feb 28;7:13., [PMID:16507104]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Sitosterolemia is an autosomal recessive disorder that maps to the sitosterolemia locus, STSL, on human chromosome 2p21. Two genes, ABCG5 and ABCG8, comprise the STSL and mutations in either cause sitosterolemia. ABCG5 and ABCG8 are thought to have evolved by gene duplication event and are arranged in a head-to-head configuration. We report here a detailed characterization of the STSL in Caucasian and African-American cohorts. METHODS: Caucasian and African-American DNA samples were genotypes for polymorphisms at the STSL locus and haplotype structures determined for this locus RESULTS: In the Caucasian population, 13 variant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified and resulting in 24 different haplotypes, compared to 11 SNPs in African-Americans resulting in 40 haplotypes. Three polymorphisms in ABCG8 were unique to the Caucasian population (E238L, INT10-50 and G575R), whereas one variant (A259V) was unique to the African-American population. Allele frequencies of SNPs varied also between these populations. CONCLUSION: We confirmed that despite their close proximity to each other, significantly more variations are present in ABCG8 compared to ABCG5. Pairwise D' values showed wide ranges of variation, indicating some of the SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and some were not. LD was more prevalent in Caucasians than in African-Americans, as would be expected. These data will be useful in analyzing the proposed role of STSL in processes ranging from responsiveness to cholesterol-lowering drugs to selective sterol absorption.

71 The C/T polymorphism at INT10-50 position, E238L and G575R in ABCG8 were variable only in the Caucasians. Login to comment
88 Additionally, a SNP that results in A259V in ABCG8 was detected in this cohort, but was absent in Caucasians, and a SNP that was variant in Caucasian (E238L in ABCG8) but was non-variant in African-Americans. Login to comment

Sterolins ABCG5 and ABCG8: regulators of whole body dietary sterols.
Pflugers Arch. 2007 Feb;453(5):745-52. Epub 2006 Jan 27., [PMID:16440216]

Abstract [show]
ABCG5 and ABCG8 are two ATP-binding cassette half-transporters that belong to the G family members. They were identified as proteins that are mutated in a rare human disorder, sitosterolemia, and their identification led to the completion of the physiological pathways by which dietary cholesterol, as well as noncholesterol sterols, traffics in the mammalian body. These proteins are likely to function as heterodimers, and current evidence suggests that these proteins are responsible for the majority of sterol secretions into bile, thus may define the long sought-after biliary sterol transporters. This review will focus on some of the backgrounds of this physiology, the genetics and regulation of these genes, as well as our current understanding of their functions. This review will also highlight the current limitations in our knowledge gap.
