The minor allele of p.L28P, which was in complete linkage disequilibrium (D' = 1) with the far more common APOE ϵ4 allele, showed no association with LOAD (P = 0.75) independent of the APOE ϵ4 allele. p.V236E was significantly associated with a marked reduction in risk of LOAD (P = 7.5 × 10⁻⁰⁵; OR = 0.10, 0.03 to 0.45).
None of the family members carrying APOE*3-(Cys-112-->Arg; Arg-251-->Gly) and/or APOE*2(Val-236-->Glu) exhibited lipoprotein abnormalities characteristic of familial dysbetalipoproteinaemia, although three family members carrying APOE*3-(Cys-112-->Arg; Arg-251-->Gly) showed hypertriglyceridaemia.
