Özet
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the predictive role of apolipoprotein E genotypes for stroke-related risk factors in the Turkish population. Among 100 stroke patients and 30 healthy subjects included in the study, most frequent Apo E genotype was epsilon 3/3, compatible with polymorphic distribution of Asian population. VLDL and triglyceride levels in epsilon 2/4(+) subjects were higher than in epsilon 2/4(-) patients. HDL and homocysteine levels were higher in epsilon 4/4 (+) subjects than in epsilon 4/4 (-) stroke patients. These results suggest that ApoE polymorphism in this population was not associated with any other demographic or clinical variables except for lipid profiles and homocysteine levels.
