Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate whether the body mass index (BMI) in combination with genetic variations in APOE and APOA5_'T' alleles modulates the risk of sHTG. METHODS: There were 255 moderate HTG (TG ≥2.26 and <5.65 mmol/L) and 176 sHTG (TG ≥5.65 mmol/L) and 304 controls (TG <2.26 mmol/L) were recruited. APOE epsilon alleles were genotyped using sequence-specific primers; the APOA5_'T' allele...
