What is Apolipoprotein E Genotyping in Turkish Myocardial Infarction Survivors and Healthy Controls about?

The apolipoprotein (Apo) E gene is known to be polymorphic. Three common alleles determine six phenotypes which can easily be detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism. We performed apo E genotyping in myocar dial infarction survivors and healthy controls for the first time in the Turkish population. DNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the PCR product was digested with restriction enzymes Hhal to detect apo E2, E3, E4 and with Taq\ to detect apo El. Relative allele frequency for the patient group was found to be 0.91 for E3,0.07 for E2,0.02 for E4 and for the control group 0.875 for E3, 0.067 for E2, 0.058 for E4.
