a gene situated on chromosome 19 that codes for a protein in lipoproteins that are normal constituents of blood plasma, for example HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL (low density lipoprotein), and VLDL (very low density lipoprotein). There are a number of common variations (alleles) of the APOE gene, the most common of which are known as: e2, e3, and e4.
