| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The association of apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism with interindividual variability of serum lipid concentrations and the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis is inconclusive. This study was performed to explore the associations of apoE with lipid concentrations and ischemic stroke in patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subgroup or without atherosclerotic vascular lesions (small artery occlusion, SAO) subgroup through a case-control study among the Korean population. METHODS: The ischemic stroke group (n=194) was subdivided into an LAA subgroup (n=112) and a SAO without atherosclerotic lesion subgroup (n=82). An age-matched healthy control group (n=168) was recruited. Serum lipid concentrations were measured and apoE genotypes were determined by real-time PCR and melting curve analysis with the LightCycler (Roche Diagnostics). RESULTS: The frequency of the epsilon4 carriers was significantly higher in the ischemic stroke group (22.7%) than in the control group (11.9%) (P=0.01). However, the frequency of 4 carriers showed no difference between the LAA and SAO subgroups (22.3% vs 23.2%, P=0.89). The adjusted low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) concentration was significantly higher in ischemic stroke group than in control group (P=0.04), but showed no significant differences in all lipid concentrations between the LAA and SAO subgroups. LDLc concentrations were lower in epsilon2 carriers than in epsilon3 and epsilon4 alleles, but showed no difference between the epsilon4 carriers and epsilon3 allele. CONCLUSIONS: Although there was an association between the epsilon4 allele and ischemic stroke and between the LDLc concentration and ischemic stroke, there was no significant difference in the lipid concentrations and distribution of apoE genotypes between the LAA and SAO subgroups. Therefore, the epsilon4 allele may have different effects on the ischemic stroke that are independent of the atherosclerotic mechanism by high LDLc concentration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
