Apo E allele frequency in primary endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (type IV) with and without hyperapobetalipoproteinemia.

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism is responsible for the existence in the population of six apo E phenotypes determined by three alleles acting at a single gene locus. We have previously reported an enrichment in the epsilon 2 allele and the E2-bearing phenotypes in an unselected sample of subjects with primary hyperlipidemia consisting mainly of endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV). A study was carried out on...
