B a c k g r o u n d : Apolipoprotein E has been one of the most thoroughly studied genetic polymorphisms, particularly for its effects on lipid profiles and coronary heart disease risk.
This study investigated the relationship between the apolipoprotein E polymorphism and essential hypertension in a Korean population.
M e t h o d s : The subjects (n=1,243) were participants in a population-based study in Incheon metropolitan City, Korea. The apolipoprotein E polymorphism was determined using a polymerase chain reaction method.
R e s u l t s : The frequencies of the genotypes did not differ significantly between the hypertensive groups (60.0% ȿ2 /ȿ2, 30.8% ȿ2 /ȿ3, 44.4% ȿ2 /ȿ4, 33.3% ȿ3 /ȿ3, 32.3% ȿ3 /ȿ4 , and 15.4% ȿ4 /ȿ4; p=0.498). After adjusting for other risk factors, genotypes were not associated with hypertension(OR 5.74, 95% CI 0.81-40.76, ȿ2 /ȿ2 vs. ȿ3 /ȿ3; OR 0.94, 95%
CI 0.60-1.47, ȿ2 /ȿ3 vs. ȿ3 /ȿ3; OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.30-4.89, ȿ2 /ȿ4 vs. ȿ3 /ȿ3; OR 0.79, 95%
CI 0.56-1.13, ȿ3 /ȿ4 vs. ȿ3 /ȿ3; OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.06-1.45, ȿ4 /ȿ4 vs. ȿ3 /ȿ3).
C o n c l u s i o n s: These findings suggest that the apolipoprotein E polymorphism is not associated with hypertension.
