Abstract excerpt
Two cases of lipoprotein glomerulopathy with a new apolipoprotein E (Apo E) genotype, epsilon3/epsilon4, were diagnosed recently. These 2 cases, together with other cases documented in English literature made a total of 6 common isoforms of Apo E encountered in lipoprotein glomerulopathy. Although the calculated allele frequency of epsilon2 is relatively high in cases with lipoprotein glomerulopathy as compared...
