APOA5 and metabolic syndrome: Another study covering East Asian ethnicity analyzed SNPs associated with MetS in the Korean population and found 17 SNPs variants relating to MetS components potentially specific to Koreans (6 TG SNPs: rs1260326, rs1260333, rs1919127, rs964184, rs2075295, and rs1558861 and 11 HDL-C SNPs: rs4775041, rs10468017, rs1800588, rs72786786, rs173539, rs247616, rs247617, rs3764261, rs4783961, rs708272, and rs7499892) (Oh et al., 2020), yet the most influential SNP is rs662799, located in the APOA5 gene, as opposed to rs2266788 in the European population.
