The genetic variability of apolipoprotein E (apoE) influences plasma lipoprotein levels, and
allele frequencies differ between African Americans and Caucasians. As African Americans …

Apolipoprotein [a](apo [a]) gene size is a major predictor of lipoprotein [a] level. To
determine genetic predictors of allele-specific apo [a] levels beyond gene size, we evaluated …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotypes on lipoprotein
measurements relative to that of other known cardiovascular risk factors in participants of a …

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis vary
between ethnic groups. We examined the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism, its …

Abstract Plasma lipoprotein [a](Lp [a]) concentrations are inversely associated with, and
largely determined by, apolipoprotein [a](apo [a]) gene size, a highly polymorphic trait. We …

Apolipoprotein E polymorphisms are important determinants of blood lipid levels and have
been associated with longevity and atherosclerosis. However, information is limited on the …

Variation in apolipoprotein (apo) E genotypes predicts variation in plasma cholesterol and
apoB; however, the context-dependent associations between high density lipoprotein (HDL) …

Previous studies show conflicting results concerning an influence of apolipoprotein E (apo
E) phenotype on lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) plasma levels. We speculated that it is not the apo E …

Apo E is an important genetic factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, which is
the leading cause of death among American Indians. We investigated the occurrence of the …

Abstract Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays a major role in lipoprotein metabolism
and genetic variability of ApoE confers susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) …
