Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The apolipoprotein (apo) E phenotype and its influence on plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels were determined in men and women from a working population of Madrid, Spain. The relative frequencies of alleles epsilon(2), epsilon(3) and epsilon(4) for the study population (n=614) were 0.080, 0.842 and 0.078, respectively. In men, apo E polymorphism was associated with variations in plasma triglyceride...
