Abstract excerpt
Genetic and environmental factors regulate lipid metabolism and phenotypic expression of CAD. In this study we assessed the effects of apoE gene polymorphism and apoA1 gene promoter polymorphism on lipid metabolism and risk for CAD. In a case-control study, 166 patients with CAD were compared with 130 healthy subjects. The apoE allele frequencies of patients vs. control group were 6.3% vs. 7.7% for e2, 84.3% vs....
