Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) is a glycoprotein which acts as a ligand facilitating the uptake of lipids. Three common isoforms of Apo E are recognised, E2, E3 and E4. E2 and E4 are associated with altered lipid metabolism and increased cardiovascular risk. We report a novel variant of Apo E (c.382G>A) predicting 110Asp→Asn identified by genotyping, we were prompted to investigate this further as the amino...
