Most type III HLP occurs in homozygous carriers of apolipoprotein (apo) E2. The aims of this study were to determine the frequencies of different apo E genotypes in type III HLP in Taiwanese and to assess the possibility of apo E mutants in these patients. Materials and methods: Four hundred and seven patients with hyperlipoproteinemia were recruited. Electrophoresis, apo E genotyping and sequencing were performed. Results: Of the 407 hyperlipoproteinemia, 8 were identified as type III HLP. In contrast to reports of high apo ε2/2 genotype prevalence, only two of the type III HLP subjects were of the apo ε2/2 genotype (25%). Fifty percent of the type III HLP were of apo ε2/3 genotype. This observation was further reflected in a lower frequency of the ε2 allele (0.563) and higher ε3 allele (0.375) frequency. No rare apo E variant was found by direct sequencing. Conclusion: The most common genotype of type III HLP in Taiwan was apo ε2/3 instead of apo ε2/2. ? 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
