To date, no data have been available on relationship between apolipoprotein E polymorphism and lipid levels in Serbian populations. Blood samples were obtained from 591 healthy normal individuals (193 women and 398 men). A 244 bp sequence of the apolipoprotein E gene including the two polymorphic sites was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. After digestion with  Hha l, DNA fragments were visualized by microplate array diagonal gel electrophoresis. In men, levels of both total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol among the three apolipoprotein E genotype groups differed significantly (p &lt;0.05). The ε2 allele was associated with lower concentrations of both total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, where the ε4 allele had the opposite effects. No significant effects of apolipoprotein E polymorphism on serum lipid levels were observed in women. The presented data could be taken into consideration in any future disease risk evaluation in this population.
