APOE4 & Cardiovascular Risk

Dr. Paddy Barrett

Subscribe now APOE4 & Cardiovascular Risk We now know that carriers of APOE4 typically have higher circulating APOB levels, but the question is how much this influences the risk of cardiovascular disease. The association of apolipoprotein-E ( APOE ) gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
