Apolipoprotein E phenotypes in familial hypercholesterolaemia: importance for expression of disease and response to therapy.

Abstract excerpt

To study the possible importance of variation at the apolipoprotein (apo) E gene locus for the clinical expression of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), we determined apo E phenotype and serum lipoprotein pattern in 120 patients with FH. The allele frequency of the patients studies were: epsilon 2 0.033, epsilon 3 0.733, and epsilon 4 0.233. There was no influence of apo E phenotype on the serum...
