Apolipoprotein E genotype is associated with serum C-reactive protein but not abdominal aortic aneurysm

摘要

ObjectiveApolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype has been associated with systemic inflammation and athero-thrombosis however the association with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has not been previously examined. We assessed the association between ApoE genotype with AAA presence and growth, and serum C-reactive protein (CRP).
