Association of Apolipoprotein E Polymorphisms and Risks of Ischemic Stroke in Chinese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Table 3

Associations of APOE gene polymorphisms and the risk of IS in T2DM patients compared to that in case patients, represented as unadjusted OR.

	Unadjusted OR (95% CI)	value
Genotype
ε2/ε3 vs. ε3/ε3	1.901 (1.117-3.297)	0.0179
ε2/ε3 vs. ε3/ε4	1.167 (0.602-2.281)	0.657
ε3/ε4 vs. ε3/ε3	1.629 (0.943-2.756)	0.0694
Allele
ε2 vs. ε3	1.343 (0.876-2.073)	0.186
ε2 vs. ε4	0.972 (0.534-1.766)	0.924
ε4 vs. ε3	1.382 (0.882-2.190)	0.157

The extremely rare genotypes—ε2/ε2, ε2/ε4, and ε4/ε4 subjects—were excluded from statistical analysis.
