✦ Synopsis

Apolipoprotein H (APO H), also known as P2-glycoprotein I, has been identified as a protein component of the major lipoprotein density fractions in human plasma. Recently, genetically determined structural polymorphism in white and black populations has been documented for this apolipoprotein. There are three common alleles in whites and blacks and a fourth allele found mainly in blacks. Family data confirm the autosomal codominant pattern of inheritance for the APO H structural gene. Little is known about the function of APO H, but it has demonstrated both lipid and platelet involvement. In this study we investigate the effect of APO H phenotypes on quantitative lipid measures in a group of 443 white women being followed through menopause for changes in cardiovascular risk. At baseline all women were premenopausal. None of the APO H phenotypes showed a statistically significant effect on lipid measures in this population.

Apolipoprotein A-IV (APO A-IV) is a major protein component of mesenteric lymph chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. It is found in plasma predominantly unassociated with major lipoprotein fractions and in high density lipoproteins. APO A-IV exhibits structural heterogeneity owing to two

Structural variation in apolipoprotein E has been shown to influence lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. The purpose of the present study was to investigate several apolipoproteins in a group of Black women from the Healthy Women Study (HWS). HWS is a community-based prospective study of 541 preme
