The intronic variant, APOE/rs440446, was previously reported to be associated with TG levels and CHD risk in a large Finnish cohort [37] and our current finding of its association with TG, LDL-C and TC levels in NHWs (Table 1) and with apoB levels in Blacks (Table 2) reaffirm the importance of this SNP. Here, APOE is linked to coronary artery disorder.
