When hyperlipidemia was divided into hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, we found that the levels of HDL-C and ApoAI in hypercholesterolemia but not in hypertriglyceridemia were different between the AA and AC/CC genotypes in males but not in females (Table 4), the subjects with AC/CC genotype had higher serum HDL-C and ApoAI levels than the subjects with AA genotype. Here, APOA1 is linked to hyperlipidemia.
