Hyperlipidemia in APOE2 transgenic mice is ameliorated by a truncated apoE variant lacking the C-terminal domain

Hyperlipidemia in APOE2 transgenic mice is ameliorated by a truncated apoE variant lacking the C-terminal domain

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia associated with the apolipoprotein E2 (APOE2) genotype is a recessive disorder with low penetrance. We have investigated whether additional expression of full-length APOE3, APOE4, or a truncated variant of APOE4 (APOE4-202) can reduce APOE2- associated hyperlipidemia....
