These results suggest that the polymorphism at the +2836 G>A site in the apoE gene is strongly correlated with the susceptibility to EH in the Chinese Hui ethnic population.
The association between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension: a meta-analysis of 45 studies including 13,940 cases and 16,364 controls.
Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism is related to metabolic abnormalities, but does not influence erythrocyte membrane lipid composition or sodium-lithium countertransport activity in essential hypertension.
