Likewise, although an elevated ApoB/ApoA1 ratio may imply high ApoB levels or low ApoA1 levels per se, its association with MetS may also reflect other factors associated with an elevated ApoB/ApoAI ratio that were not measured in the present study as suggested by its association with myocardial infarction [11]. The gene discussed is APOA1; the disease is myocardial infarction.
