Popis: The possible association of genetic markers at the apolipoprotein E (HhaI polymorphism), apolipoprotein B (XbaI, EcoRI and Ins/Del polymorphisms), and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) (AvaII, HincII and PvuII polymorphisms) with coronary artery disease (CAD) was evaluated in 50 Brazilian women with CAD diagnosed by angiography and in 100 healthy women (controls). The frequency of E3/E4 genotype for HhaI polymorphism at the Apo E gene was significantly higher in CAD patients than in controls (40% vs. 14%, respectively, P
