The association of apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism with interindividual variability of serum lipid concentrations and the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis is inconclusive. This study was performed to explore the associations of apoE with lipid concentrations and ischemic stroke in patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subgroup or without atherosclerotic vascular lesions (small artery occlusion, SAO) subgroup through a case-control study among the Korean population.
