Apolipoprotein E phenotype, cholesterol and breast and prostate cancer

The e4 allele is associated with high serum total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. 2 Recently, it was suggested that the apolipoprotein E e4 allele may protect from carcinoma and adenoma of the colon. 3 We hypothesised that the apolipoprotein E polymorphism could also be assoc...
