Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE, protein; APOE, gene) is important in lipoprotein metabolism. Three isoforms, apoE2 (Cys112 Cys158), apoE3 (Cys112 Arg158), and apoE4 (Arg112 Arg158), are present in the general population. This report investigates the frequency distribution of apoE isoforms and the association of APOE genotypes with plasma lipid profile and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a population of Taiwan. ApoE...
