dc.description.abstract | The role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotypes in modulating plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels was studied in 112 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 94 healthy individuals. ApoE genotypes were identified by PCR amplification and subsequent restriction endonuclease digestion. The apoE allele and genotype frequencies were similar in both the diabetic and control subjects. The apoE allele frequencies were found to be 74.3 for e3 10.1 for e2 15.6 for e4 in the diabetic group and 68.1 for e3 13.2 for e2 and 18.7 for e4 in the control group. Sex-specific genotypic distribution of apoE polymorphism did not differ between the study groups. To elucidate the association of apoE with lipid abnormalities with respect to gender serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels were compared among apo e2 (e2/2 and e3/2) e3 (e3/3) and e4 (e4/3 and e4/4) groups of T2DM and control subjects. Apo e2 allele was found to be associated to triglycerides for both sexes and associated to glucose and BMI only in females. Subjects with e2 allele had higher levels of BMI glucose and triglyceride in comparison to e3 and e4. Our data suggest that genetic variation at the apoE locus in Turkish subjects is a genetic factor that influences lipid levels. Further studies attempting to correlate apoE polymorphism with lipid profile in a large number of individuals would be helpful in establishing the true significance of this polymorphism in the Turkish population.
