Abstract

Relationships between genotypes of apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism with morphological traits have been investigated on the materials of complex anthropogenetic assessment of 273 students (151 young man and 122 women). By means of various statistical methods significant associations between fat parameters and genotypes apoЕ are received (p<0.05). Men with genotypes 4/4 and 2/4 are characterized by increased fat component with the tendency to its localization in the trunk region.
