Implication
ApoE effects on HDL appear limited to Turkish women; hypothesis-generating for ethnic lipid differences and needs prospective validation.

Outcome
HDL-C levels, HDL subclasses, and the effect of apoE genotypesurrogate
The apoE genotype has a gender-specific impact on HDL-C and LpA-I levels in the Turkish population, which is characterized by low HDL-C and elevated hepatic lipase.
