AIMS: Low HDL-C is a potent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Yet, mutations in ABCA1, a major determinant of circulating HDL-C levels, were previously not associated with CVD risk in cohort studies. To study the consequences of low plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) due to ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) dysfunction for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the carotid arteries.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of the carotid arteries in 36 carriers of high impact functional ABCA1 mutations and 36 normolipidemic controls. Carriers presented with 42% lower HDL-C levels (P < 0.001), a larger mean wall area (18.6 ± 6.0 vs. 15.8 ± 4.3 mm(2); P = 0.02), a larger mean wall thickness (0.82 ± 0.21 vs. 0.70 ± 0.14 mm; P = 0.005), and a higher normalized wall index (0.37 ± 0.06 vs. 0.33 ± 0.04; P = 0.005) compared with controls, retaining significance after adjustment for smoking, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, body mass index, history of CVD, LDL-C, and statin use (P = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: Carriers of loss of function ABCA1 mutations display a larger atherosclerotic burden compared with age and sex-matched controls, implying a higher risk for CVD. Further studies are needed to elucidate the full function of ABCA1 in the protection against atherosclerosis. These data support the development of strategies to up-regulate ABCA1 in patients with established CVD.
