Abstract
Objective: To examine the association between SLCO1B1 gene polymorphisms and blood lipid metabolism in Tibetan patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Yushu, Qinghai, China.
Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled 156 Tibetan T2DM patients (78 normolipidemic and 78 dyslipidemic) admitted to Yushu People's Hospital between September 2022 and December 2023. SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G polymorphisms were genotyped using PCR-RFLP.
Results: The 521TC genotype frequency was significantly higher in the dyslipidemia group (30.8% vs. 14.1%, p < 0.05), with elevated triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.01). Multivariate regression confirmed positive associations. The 388AG and 388GG genotypes were associated with elevated triglycerides (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G polymorphisms are significantly associated with dyslipidemia in this high-altitude Tibetan T2DM population, with 521T>C showing stronger predictive potential.

Genetics and drug metabolism
Targeted drug identification and discovery
Optimizing drug selection & dosage based on patient''s genetic profile
Drug related morbidity & mortality intervention
Advanced disease screening and targeted therapeutic intervention
Genetic based vaccine development
Patient satisfaction and preference
Health economic evaluations
Practical and organizational issues in the development and implementation of personalized medicine programs.
