Abstract excerpt
The structural gene locus for apolipoprotein E (apo E) is polymorphic. The relative apo E allele frequencies and the influence of this polymorphism on serum lipoprotein concentrations were studied in 8- to 17-year-old black (n = 444) and white (n = 446) children from the community of Bogalusa, LA. The frequencies of the e2, e3, and e4 alleles for white males/females were 0.027/0.024, 0.849/0.823, and 0.124/0.153,...
