The LIPC -514 C/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been inconsistently associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in population studies, supporting the possibility of its modulation by dietary factors. To investigate the interaction between the common LIPC -514(C/T) SNP and dietary fat, the investigators compared changes in lipids and glucose in response to two levels of dietary total fat (20% energy intake vs. 39% energy intake) in a crossover, randomized dietary intervention study enrolling Caribbean Hispanics. Individuals were screened for LIPC rs1800588 genotype prior to enrollment, and genotype-associated differences in response to diet were evaluated.
