Abstract

The goal of this review is to provide an update on the most recent and relevant findings in the area of genotype-phenotype associations as well as the relationships between genetic factors and cardiovascular disease risk markers and events. In addition, emphasis will be placed on the methodological problems associated with studying the genetics of complex disorders, specifically cardiovascular diseases. Genes associated with cardiovascular disease predisposition have been examined, including traditional cardiovascular disease candidate genes, such as ACE, AGT, eNOS, PON and MTHFR, new loci that have recently been added to the growing list of cardiovascular disease candidate genes (i.e. MEF2A, ALOX5, LTA, APOM, PDE4D), and genes that have been shown to be at the intersection of several age-related disorders through interaction with one another or with environmental factors (i.e. APOA5, APOE, PPARgamma, LPL and LIPC). During the last year, tremendous effort has been made in elucidating new genes associated with cardiovascular disease predisposition. For the most part, however, major breakthroughs have not been made, primarily due to the poor replication of results among studies, as a consequence of poor experimental design.

ApoE Phenotypes

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in fat metabolism and associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Here is the latest research on APOE phenotypes.
