Relations of APOE promoter polymorphisms to LDL cholesterol and markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in young adults

Relations of APOE promoter polymorphisms to LDL cholesterol and markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in young adults

The common apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene (APOE) ɛ2/ɛ3/ɛ4 polymorphism explains part of serum lipid variation, and polymorphisms in the APOE promoter region have been proposed to participate in the regulation of serum lipid levels within the most common APOE ɛ3/ɛ3 genotype group. We determined APOE −2...
