The apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism in a Spanish working population of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) was analyzed. The distribution of apo E alleles (epsilon 3, 0.850; epsilon 2, 0.075; epsilon 4, 0.075) and phenotypes (E3/3, 72.6%; E3/4, 13%; E3/2, 11.5%; E4/4, 0.8%; E2/2, 1.5%; E4/2, 0.5%) was significantly different from those of a combined Caucasian population owing to a lower frequency of apo E4. We...
