Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E phenotype (APOE phenotype) has been demonstrated to be a genetic determinant of cardiovascular disease. This atherogenicity may be a reflection of the association of APOE phenotype and plasma lipoprotein concentrations. The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study affords the opportunity to assess the frequency of apolipoprotein E alleles in population-based samples of...
