|
0.030 | GeneticVariation | BEFREE | Thus, comparisons between the 2/2 and 3/3 mice unequivocally demonstrate that a single amino acid difference (Arg158 Cys) in the apoE protein is sufficient to cause type III HLP and spontaneous atherosclerosis in mice. | 9649566 | 1998 |
||||
|
0.030 | GeneticVariation | BEFREE | We have investigated the interaction of apolipoprotein E2(Arg158-Cys) (apoE2) and apolipoprotein E3-Leiden (apoE3-Leiden) with the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor in vivo and in vitro to define the possible role of this receptor in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis. | 9445249 | 1998 |
||||
|
0.010 | GeneticVariation | BEFREE | This association is biologically plausible as SNP rs405509 was shown to modify protein binding and transcriptional activity of the APOE protein in vitro and is in linkage disequilibrium with key known variants defining the e2, e3, and e4 alleles that modify risk of atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease risk, and progression to AIDS. | 19808960 | 2009 |

|
0.010 | GeneticVariation | BEFREE | Two Italian kindreds carrying the Arg136-->Ser mutation of the Apo E gene: development of premature and severe atherosclerosis in the presence of epsilon 2 as second allele. | 12929622 | 2003 |

||||
|
0.010 | GeneticVariation | BEFREE | In relatives of the proband, APOE R112; R251G was consistently found in subjects with both hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. | 9360638 | 1997 |
