Gene ε4 Allele is Associated with Atherosclerosis in Multiple Vascular Beds.
Int J Gen Med
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms and atherosclerosis affecting multiple vascular areas, as previous risk factors were not clearly established.
- - Researchers analyzed 1,074 patients, finding that those with a specific E3/E4 genotype were less common in multiple-vessel atherosclerosis cases (11.4% vs 17.8%).
- - The results suggest that the ε4 allele is significantly associated with atherosclerosis across multiple vascular beds, highlighting its potential role as a risk factor.
