Abstract

Allelic variation at the apolipoprotien E (Apo E) structural locus has been shown to influence concentrations of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C). Apo E has six phenotypes resulting from three common alleles at this locus. The ϵ2 allele is associated with lower LDL‐C and the ϵ4 allele with higher LDL‐C. In the current study, we compared the ϵ allele distribution in two cohorts of white women recruited from population based listing of southwestern Pennsylvania. The “younger” cohort consisted of 473 women, age 42–50; the “older” cohort, 870 women, age 65–90. A comparison of the overall distribution of allele frequencies in the two cohorts was significantly different. The allele frequency of ϵ4 was lower in the older cohort (0.98 vs. 0.122, P = 1.08) and the ϵ2 allele frequency was higher (0.084 vs. 0.059, P = 0.05) in the older cohort. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that there may be a selection against individuals with the ϵ4 allele. However, future research is needed to confirm this observation and to compare survival in individuals by their ϵ allele. © 1993 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.
