Apolipoprotein E polymorphism in a Danish population compared to findings in 45 other study populations around the world
Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotypes were determined in a random sample of 466 Danish men born in 1948. The frequencies of the common alleles of the apoE gene were (with 95% confidence intervals) ϵ2 = 0.085 (0.068–0.105), ϵ3 = 0.741 (0.712–0.769), and ϵ4 = 0.174 (0.150–0.200). These frequencies were compared to findings in 45 other study populations around the world (n > 100). The Danish population was found to cluster with populations from Iceland, Norway, Iceland, Scotland, the Netherlands, Germany, France (Paris), and Caucasian populations in Canada and the USA. The compiled data further show that dissimilarities in apoE allele frequencies among Caucasian populations are comparable to dissimilarities between some Caucasian and Asian populations. Notably, the frequency of ϵ4 appears to be higher in northern regions of Europe (the Nordic countries, Scotland, Germany, and the Netherlands) than in southern regions (Switzerland, Tyrol, France [Nancy], Italy, and Spain). © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
