Apolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism and Serum Lipid Profile in Saudi Patients with Psoriasis

Table 3

Apolipoprotein E allele/genotype frequencies in male/female psoriasis patients and controls.

Genotype/alleles	Male patients (𝑁=60)	Female patients (𝑁=34)	Controls (𝑁=200)
	Freq. (%)	Freq. (%)	Freq. (%)
𝜀3/𝜀3	75.00*	61.76*	91.50
𝜀3/𝜀4	20.00*	23.53*	8.50
𝜀3/𝜀2	5.00*	14.71*	0
𝜀2/𝜀4	0	0	0
𝜀2/𝜀2	0	0	0
𝜀4/𝜀4	0	0	0
𝜀3	87.50*	80.88*	95.75
𝜀4	10.00*	11.77*	4.25
𝜀2	2.50*	7.35*	0

^∗𝑃 value < 0.05 as compared to the frequency in controls; 𝑁: number of subjects.
𝑃 values are not significant (>0.05) when frequencies in male were compared with those in female patients.
