Abstract

Lipid status and apolipoprotein E phenotypes were tested in 1000 patients who underwent coronary angiography. The same number of factory employees was chosen as a control group. We distinguished between six different apolipoprotein E phenotypes and determined their frequencies in all groups. For the three homozygous phenotypes E3/3, E4/4, and E2/2, the percentage distribution in the group of factory employees was 62.7%, 2.3%, and 0.8%, respectively; for the three heterozygous phenotypes E4/3, E3/2, and E4/2, we determined frequencies of 20.3%, 11.0%, and 3.0%, respectively. In the group of patients with and without signs of coronary atherosclerosis, we observed almost the same frequencies except that heterozygotes (E3/2) occurred significantly more frequently in the group of coronary angiography patients unaffected by coronary sclerosis. Cholesterol and triglyceride values were significantly elevated in patients with coronary artery disease, whereas high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were not significantly different. The data further suggest that apolipoprotein E2/2 homozygosity, despite the presence of beta-very low density lipoproteins in the plasma of these patients, cannot be considered a biochemical indicator of an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. On the other hand, apolipoprotein E3/2 heterozygosity may have a protective effect on the development of early atherosclerosis.

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.
