We enrolled 59 consecutive patients with DVT and 59 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results: In the DVT group, E3/E4 gene polymorphism was detected in 20 patients (33.9%), in the control group E3/E4 polymorphism was detected in six patients (10.2%; P = .002). In the multivariable regression analysis, E3/E4 was independently associated with 1.31-fold increased risk of DVT (odds ratio [OR] 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-10.48). Conclusion: It seems there is a relationship between ApoE3/E4 gene polymorphism and DVT in the Turkish population. However, this pilot study should be supported with large-scale studies.en10.1177/1076029609348646info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdeep venous thrombosisApolipoproteinE3/E4gene polymorphismArticle172228225198259142-s2.0-79952795345Q2WOS:000288463500016Q4
