Abstract Background: Because apolipoprotein E (apoE) and lipopoprotein lipase (LPL)
polymorphisms interact with each other and with other factors to affect lipid metabolism, we …

There is evidence that most forms of ischaemic stroke (IS) result from synergistic effects of
the modifiable predisposing factors and multiple genes. In the present work, we report …

Background At the APOE gene, encoding apolipoprotein E, genotypes of the ε2/ε3/ε4 alleles
associated with higher LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are also associated with higher …

OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein E (apoE) has been implicated as conveying increased risk for
coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous studies suggest a role of apoE as a modulator of …

A relationship between apolipoprotein E (Apo E) genotype and stroke was previously
suggested, but with inconsistent results. We investigated the relationships among serum …

Variation in lipid levels has been associated with atherosclerotic vascular disease, including
stroke. Genes contributing to interindividual variation in lipid levels may play a role in the …

Background. Although several studies in various countries have indicated that the presence
of the E4 allele of the apolipoprotein-E (APOE) gene is a risk factor for ischemic …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism is suggested to be
a risk factor in stroke in some populations, either by affecting lipid parameters or …

We have genotyped 1101 supposedly healthy subjects from the Stanislas cohort for the
lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene Ser417 (C)% stop (G) polymorphism and/or for the …

Background and Purpose—The effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms on stroke
risk may be influenced by the coexistence of modifiable predisposing conditions. We …
