Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) polymorphism has been implicated in many chronic diseases, including Alzheimer disease and osteoporosis. Significant association of the Apo E4 allele to low bone mineral density (BMD) has been repeatedly reported. We here examined the Apo E genotype frequencies in the Chinese population (n = 692) and its relationship to BMD. A significantly lower frequency (a prevalence of 7%) of the E4...
