Apolipoprotein E phenotype and gene distribution in The Netherlands.
2,000 male individuals randomly selected from three different areas in The Netherlands were phenotyped for apolipoprotein E. The apolipoprotein E gene frequencies and phenotype distribution did not differ significantly from that of previously studied populations, with one exception: the epsilon 4 frequency was significantly lower than that in the Finnish population.
