“…However, the initial selection should be performed for the combinational results of GWAS and meta-analyses, along with genetic association with strong statistical support; at the same time, GWAS and metaanalyses showed convincing sizes effects are moderate in current platforms, as sample sizes can still explain the majority of large genetic risk for most common diseases (Zeggini & Ioannidis, 2009). Meta-analysis studies on the ApoE gene in relation to multiple diseases revealed both were positive (Arati et al, 2016;Cao et al, 2014;Garatachea et al, 2015;Gatt et al, 2015;Han et al, 2013;Li et al, 2015;Liao et al, 2014;Lin et al, 2014;Meng et al, 2013;Rubino et al, 2013;Sun et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2014;Yin et al, 2012;Yin et al, 2013;Yin et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014a;Zhang et al, 2014b;Zhang et al, 2015), and negative associations (Agarwal & Tripathi, 2014;Gu et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014;Miao et al, 2015;Stoumpos et al, 2013;Tian et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2016;Zhu et al, 2016). Earlier reports in the nineties did not provide unequivocal conclusions regarding the relation of the ApoE gene and FH in different populations (Carmena et al, 1993;Friedlander & Leitersdorf, 1996;Utermann et al, 1979).…”
