Apolipoprotein E and A-IV polymorphisms in ethnic Russians living in Estonia

Genetika. 2004 Sep;40(9):1293-5.

Abstract

137 Russians living in Estonia was screened by isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting procedures to determine the distribution of genetic variations in apolipoprotein E (apoE) and apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) genes. The apoA-IV-2 allele and epsilon4 allele frequency of the Russians tended to be lower than in most other European populations.
