Expression of Type III Hyperlipoproteinemia in Apolipoprotein E2 (Arg158→Cys) Homozygotes Is Associated With Hyperinsulinemia

Abstract
Type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) is mainly found in homozygous carriers of apolipoprotein E2 (apoE2, Arg158→Cys). Only a small percentage (<5%) of these apoE2 homozygotes develops hyperlipidemia...
