Associations with gastric cancer for triglycerides (P = 0.061), LDL cholesterol (P = 0.35) and apoB (P = 0.48) weakened in multivariable analysis and were no longer even nominally significant, while the lack of association of gender and APOE ε4 with risk of gastric cancer remained unchanged (P ≥ 0.30). The gene discussed is APOE; the disease is gastric cancer.
