The effect of apolipoprotein(a)-, apolipoprotein E-, and apolipoprotein A4- polymorphisms on quantitative lipoprotein(a) concentrations.
The effects of apolipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein-E, and apolipoprotein-A4 isoforms on quantitative lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels were assessed in a sample of 142 Dutch families consisting of two parents and their adolescent twin offspring. A total heritability of 95% was estimated for plasma Lp(a) concentrations. The largest part of this heritability was due to the apo(a) locus which explained...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the Apolipoprotein E Region and Severity of Multiple Sclerosis
Background: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism is known to affect various neurologic disorders with different effects on the immune system and CNS repair. However, previous studies on possible modulation of the clinical course of multiple sclerosis (MS) by APOE polymorphism have been inconsistent. Objective: To clarify the issue for MS patients' management and future research. Methods: Th...

Monkey apoA-I was isolated by ultracentrifugation or immunoprecipitation and analyzed by isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The plasma apoA-I of 26 Old World monkeys (1 2 cynomolgus and 14 rhesus), 40 New World monkeys (8 cebus, 8 squirrel, 8 spider, 8 owl, and 8 marmosets), 6 prosimians (lemurs) and 10 apes (5 gibbons and 5 chimpanzees) were compared w...

N those associated with haemoglobinopathies N those within the major histocompatibility complex (HMC), including HLA class I and class II and the tumour necrosis factor promoter N those within genes not associated with HMC, such as ICAM-1, CD36, and possibly the gene for nitric oxide synthase N probably the gene for apolipoprotein E (APOE), as our recent data suggest, and upon which we comment ...
متن کاملDementia, quantitative neuroimaging, and apolipoprotein E genotype.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative MR imaging differences in an elderly population of subjects with various clinical disorders (including dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia) and disorders of mild cognitive impairment were examined. Potential quantitative MR differences were assessed by presence or absence of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele and by level...
