Background: The E4 allele of the apolipoprotein gene (APOE) is associated with a greater serum cholesterol response to dietary changes in fat and cholesterol. However, less is known about the interaction between APOE polymorphism and other macronutrients in the diet. Objective: We evaluated the interaction between APOE polymorphism and dietary fat and carbohydrate, particularly sucrose, in relation to serum lipid concentrations. Design: A total of 284 men and 130 women with coronary artery disease (mean age: 61 y; range: 33-74 y) participated in the cross-sectional EUROASPIRE study. Serum lipids and fatty acids in cholesteryl esters (CEs) were measured and APOE genotypes were determined. Dietary intake was examined by using a 4-d food record. Results: Patients were grouped by APOE genotype: E2 (E2/E2 and E2/E3; n = 21), E3 (E3/E3; n = 245), and E4 (E4/E2, E4/E3, and E4/E4; n = 148). Patients with the E2 allele had lower LDL-cholesterol concentrations and tended to have higher triacylglycerol concentrations than did patients with the E3 or E4 allele; concentrations were not significantly different between the last 2 groups. In regression analysis, significant predictors of serum triacylglycerol were the interaction between sucrose intake and the E2 allele, proportion of n-3 fatty acids in CEs, body mass index, and diabetes. A high sucrose intake was associated with high triacylglycerol concentrations only in patients with the E2 allele. Interaction between saturated fat intake and the E2 allele, proportion of linoleic acid in CEs, and fiber intake predicted serum cholesterol. Conclusion: Coronary artery disease patients with the E2 allele will likely have a greater triacylglycerol response to high dietary sucrose intakes than will patients with the E3 or E4 allele.
