A common VLDLR polymorphism interacts with APOE genotype in the prediction of carotid artery disease risks⃞

The genetic factors associated with carotid artery disease (CAAD) are not fully known. Because of its role in lipid metabolism, we hypothesized that common genetic variation in the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) gene is associated with severe CAAD (>80% stenosis), body mass index (...
