Furthermore, the levels of TG, TC, LDL-C and Apo-B depended significantly on AF and APOE allele groups, and statistically significant interactions between AF and APOE allele were observed in the above 4 variables, although the APOE gene SNPs (rs429358 and rs7412) were not significant independent risk factors for AF incidence in the study. This evidence concerns the gene APOE and atrial fibrillation.
