Apolipoprotein A1 provided an OR of 0.95 (0.94-0.97, P<0.001) in FCHL families and OR of 0.94 (0.90-0.97, P=0.011) in FH families, but neither in FHTG nor in normolipidemic families (both P>0.05).
Biochemical profiles of lipids and lipoproteins revealed markedly elevated levels of triglyceride, apoB and apoE, but approximately normal levels of total cholesterol, apoA1 and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], which resembled familial hypertriglyceridemia.
