Gender differences in a type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic population with respect to apolipoprotein E phenotype frequencies.

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism was examined in an Italian population of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in allele frequencies between male and female patients due to an under-representation of the E4 allele in the female group.
