文摘目的:分析Leber先天性黑矇(Leber congenital amaurosis,LCA)患者血清脂质浓度的变化。方法:采用回顾性序列病例研究方法,选取临床诊断为LCA的患者50例作为LCA组,选取52例正常人作为正常对照组,按盲法由专业技术人员测量两组受检者血清中低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(low density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL-C)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(high density lipoprotein cholesterol,HDL-C)、甘油三酯(triglycerides,TG)、总胆固醇(total cholesterol,TC)含量,并对两组受检者的测量结果进行比较。结果:LCA患者50例中,血脂水平异常者占46%,其中低HDL-C血症者占26%,高TG血症者占48%,高TC血症者占17%,混合型高脂血症者占9%。LCA患者血清HDL-C浓度为1.221±0.317mmol/L,较正常对照组明显下降,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);血清TG浓度(1.377±1.171mmol/L)和TC浓度(4.506±0.694mmol/L)与正常对照组相比均明显升高,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.01);LDL-C浓度与正常对照组相比,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:LCA患者血清HDL-C、TG和TC浓度异常变化可能与LCA的发病相关。
