OBJECTIVE: There is compelling evidence that the plasma apolipoprotein E (APOE) concentration, in addition to the APOE ε2/ε3/ε4 genotype, influences plasma lipoprotein levels, but the functional genetic variants influencing the plasma APOE concentration have not been identified. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Genome-wide association studies in 2 cohorts of healthy, middle-aged subjects identified the APOE locus as the...
