Relationship among Apoliprotein E gene polymorphism and hypercholesterolemic phenotype in Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela

Abstract:

The (4 (4 genotype was observed only at hypercolesterolemic patients. The homocygote (2 (2 and heterocygote (2 (3 genotypes were more frequent at the normal lipids profile group, consistent with diverse reports that indicate the association of the (4 allele with elevated cholesterol levels and low cholesterol levels when the (2 allele is presento ApoE polymorphism appears to be associated with variance in serum lipids levels in the population evaluated.
