Abstract excerpt
Elevated plasma lipid level is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, which are considered to be primary causes of death. Apolipoprotein E plays a part in the lipid transport in the blood, thus polimophisms of that affect the lipid composition of the plasma. The three most common alleles of apolipoprotein E are e2, e3, e4. Out of the two non-wild type alleles, the e2 and e4, the latter was...
