The association of apolipoprotein E (apo E) genetic polymorphism, particularly apo E2, with renal failure (plasma creatinine > or = 1.4 mg/dl, and urinary albumin excretion index > or = 300 mg/g.creatinine and/or persistent proteinuria) was investigated in 57 non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients.
