Association between Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism and the tortuosity of extracranial carotid artery
Our study suggested that the ε2 allele may be associated with the increased tortuosity of ECA, whereas the ε4 allele may leads to be a protective factor. The ε3 allele, as the most prevalent wild-type in human, has not exert a significant influence on ECA tortuosity.
