Association between apolipoprotein B EcoRI polymorphisms and coronary heart disease : A meta-analysis.

Objective: The study was carried out to examine the association between apolipoprotein B (ApoB) EcoRI polymorphism (E vs. E) (rs1042031) and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by systematically analyzing multiple independent studies.

Methods: The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test was applied to assess genotype frequency distribution in healthy controls.
